Background: We evaluated the long-term effects of domiciliary noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) used to treat patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials of COPD with NIPPV for longer than 1 year. Mortality rates were the primary outcome in this meta-analysis. The eight trials included in this study comprised data from 913 patients. Results: The mortality rates for the NIPPV and control groups were 29% (118/414) and 36% (151/419), suggesting a statistically significant difference (risk ratio [RR], 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.95). Mortality rates were reduced with NIPPV in four trials that included stable COPD patients. There was no difference in admission, acute exacerbation and quality of life between the NIPPV and control groups. There was no significant difference in withdrawal rates between the two groups (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.72-1.36; p=0.94). Conclusion: Maintaining long-term nocturnal NIPPV for more than 1 year, especially in patients with stable COPD, decreased the mortality rate, without increasing the withdrawal rate compared with long-term oxygen treatment.

연구배경: M. abscessus 폐질환은 최근 우리나라에서 유병률이 증가하는 질환이다. 국내 M. abscessus 폐감염증에 대한 치료성적 및 치료 후 장기결과에 대해서 알아보고자 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 방 법: 1996년부터 2003년까지 서울아산병원에서 미국흉부학회진단기준에 부합하는 35명의 M. abscessus 폐질환 환자 중 치료를 받은 29명의 환자를 대상으로 임상적 특징과 치료, 치료 후 추적결과에 대해 분석하였다. 결 과: 29명의 평균 나이는 56.1세(${\pm}13.6$)였고 여성이 76% 이었으며(22/29), 20명(69%)에서 결절 기관지확장증형이었다. 29명 중 19명(65.5%)에서 치료성공하였고 9명(31%)은 치료실패하였다. 1명은 약물부작용으로 치료를 중단하였다. 치료성공군은 중앙값 543일(범위 176 - 1,160)동안 치료를 받았고, 균배양음전까지의 기간은 중앙값 42일(범위 15-362)이었다. 수술은 5명에서 시행되었으며 한 엽에만 국한된 병변을 가진 두 환자에서 치료성공하였다. 치료 완료 후 중앙값 931일 (범위 230-2294일)동안 추적관찰이 이루어졌고, 19명 중 1명(5.3%)이 재발하였다. 결 론: M. abscessus 폐질환의 세균학적 치료 성적은 외국의 보고에 비하여 우수한 편이며 치료성공 후 재발률은 낮았다.

The rapid aging of the veterans has reached a level that cannot handle the demand for veterans care through the existing veterans care infrastructure. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the quality of the overall service of veterans due to the deterioration of the quality of nursing services for veterans with various underlying diseases compared to general patients and the long-term waiting for admission to the veterans care center. In this situation, about 640,000 people are admitted to veterans care institutions, but only about 5% of them can enter the veterans care center smoothly. As of June 2020, the number of people waiting to enter the veterans care center exceeds 1,000, including 520 at Suwon Veterans Nursing Home, 1 at Gwangju Veterans Nursing Home, 47 at Gimhae Veterans Nursing Home, 39 at Daegu Veterans Nursing Home, 86 at Namyangju Veterans Nursing Home.. Therefore, in order to predict those who want to enter the Veterans Nursing Home and wait for admission, and to find an important basis for resolving the long-term atmosphere, the ratio of future care providers is predicted in 2022-2050 and 2022-2024 to establish a cooperative system. As a result, 6,988 people in 2022, 6,797 people in 2023, and 6,606 people in 2024 can be admitted when 'preferred linkage', and 12,057 people in 2022 when 'expanded linkage'. It was found that 11,837 people in 2023 and 11,618 people in 2024 could be admitted. This was derived by estimating the percentage of people who wish to enter the Veterans Nursing Home when linking private nursing homes, and eventually "additional acceptance" of 22.5% in 2022, 20.9% in 2023, 19.4% in 2024, and 38.8% in 2023, 36.3% in 2023, and 34.1% in 2024 are most efficiently available.

이 논문은 장기요양서비스의 질 향상을 위하여 서비스 목표라 할 수 있는 '좋은 돌봄'의 개념을 정립하고 그 구성요소를 찾아내며, 좋은 돌봄을 산출할 수 있는 조건에 대해 탐색했다. 또한 서비스 질을 어떻게 측정하는 것이 바람직한가에 대해서도 모색하였다. 이를 위하여 정부가 채택하고 있는 질 확보전략을 비판적으로 평가하고, 돌봄의 근원적 속성을 탐구한 선행 문헌들을 검토하고 지난 5년간 서비스 제공 경험에서 축적된 서비스 현장의 지혜를 질적연구방법을 통해 담아내고자 하였다. 연구 결과, '좋은 돌봄'은 개개인의 총체적 삶의 질(total quality life)이 가능한 최대로 보장될 수 있도록 단순히 신체적 기능적 욕구 충족만이 아니라 진정한 관심이 결합되어야 한다. 좋은 돌봄을 위한 가장 중요한 조건은 '좋은 돌봄관계'를 형성하는 것이다. 돌봄제공자와 돌봄수급자 간 관계가 시장규범에 훼손되지 않고, 상호신뢰 및 존중과 진정한 소통으로 돌봄수급자 욕구를 중심에 둔 개별화된 서비스를 제공하여야 한다. 평가체계는 전면적인 상대평가보다는 시설서비스의 핵심적 질에 대하여는 기관규모별 절대기준 인증체계를 마련하고, 인증기준 이상 부분은 기관마다 자율적으로 특성화하는 것이 바람직하다. 방문 재가서비스 평가는 이용자 만족도, 돌봄종사자 만족도, 재가서비스기관의 사례관리체계 등이 평가내용으로 구성되는 것이 적절하다.

Background: Legal regulations and fees have been established in Korea to provide visiting oral health care services to individuals with long-term care insurance (LTCI). However, beneficiaries of this service are very limited. Therefore, to improve the Korean system we propose a comparative analysis with the Japanese system. Methods: This study is a descriptive analysis based on secondary data, such as statistics, laws, and service record forms from Korea and Japan. The most recent institutional documents were obtained through a Google search. The variables investigated were financial resources of LTCI, co-payment structure, monthly limit of LTCI benefits, care levels of LTCI, service providers, service costs, contents of service, and the number of cases of service. Results: In both Korea and Japan, LTCI is financed through a combination of taxes and insurance premiums. However, the monthly limit for receiving LTCI services in Japan is about 2.4 times higher than in Korea. Visiting medical and dental treatment is also possible in Japan. Furthermore, nursing staff can provide daily oral health care services according to dental hygienists' instruction unlike Korea. Oral health care services in Korea are focused on oral hygiene and prevention of oral diseases, while Japan additionally provides oral function screening, patient education for oral health management, and training for nursing staff to enhance oral function, eating, and swallowing of the patients. Conclusion: We concluded that the possibility of visiting dental treatment, differences in monthly limit of LTCI benefits, oral function assessment and guidance, as well as collaboration with other healthcare professionals contributed to the difference in the frequency of utilization of visiting oral health care services between Korea and Japan.

Methods: The subjects of this study were 227 rehabilitation professionals (social worker, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech-language therapist, special education teacher, and staff of institutions for the disabled who were working at community rehabilitation centers. The data were collected over 65 days (2008. 09. 10~11. 14). The results were analysed statistically by the Chi-square test. Results: The results are as follows: Long-term care service was established in Korea by the Ministry of Health in July, 2008. But there are limits to their being able to provide various rehabilitation services for chronic patients and old people. According to a recent survey, almost all rehabilitation professionals (N=227) stated that home visit rehabilitation therapy is necessary. Conclusion: In Korea, the long-term care service has a nursing service and a service supporting physical activities of daily living, but not physical therapy. So, home visit rehabilitation services should include physical therapy, rehabilitation exercise, and pain management.

Purpose: This paper was aimed to investigate the effect of laugher therapy on the pain, depression and sleep disturbance in elderly patients who admitted in long term care facility. Method: This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 40 elderly patients (20: experimental group, 20: control group, 65 or older) were recruited. Visual analogue scale was used to measure level of pain level, Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form Korea Version (GDSSF-K) for depression. Sleep Scale for sleep. The laugher therapy was given twice a week for four weeks (8 times). Each therapy consists of preparatory, action and finishing stage. Data were analyzed by PASW 18.0.

본 연구는 Xanthopoulou 등(2007)의 확장된 직무요구-자원모형을 기반으로 요양병원 간호사의 소진에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위해 시도되었다. 요양병원 간호사 167명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 2018년 8월 25일부터 2018년 9월 6일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 연구도구는 Maslach Burnout Inventory, Copenhagen Psyco-social Questionnaire version II, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 및 Thomas & Ganster (1995)가 개발한 도구를 사용하였다. SPSS WIN 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관계수, 위계적 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 요양병원 간호사의 소진은 직무 요구(r=.24, p=.002)와는 정적 상관관계를 보이고, 회복탄력성(r=-.43, p<.001)과 사회적지지(r=-.41, p<.001)와는 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 요양병원 간호사의 소진에 회복탄력성(${\beta}=-.28$, p<.001), 사회적 지지(${\beta}=-.20$, p=.016), 직무요구(${\beta}=.17$, p=.016) 순으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 이들 변수의 설명력은 32.0%로 나타났다. 따라서 요양병원 간호사의 소진 예방 및 감소를 위해 직무요구를 줄이고 회복탄력성과 사회적 지지를 향상시킬 수 있는 중재의 수행을 적극적으로 권장한다
