Quality improvement activities are especially important in middle to small-sized hospitals as well as in large hospitals. Hospital accreditation would play a crucial role in the re-establishment of the healthcare delivery system, which is now nearly collapsed in Korea. To achieve all these goals, it is also important to educate prospective medical personnel at college on the concepts of quality improvement and patient safety.

119 구급대원은 외상성 사건에 지속적으로 노출되며 이로 인해 다양한 사회심리적 문제와 삶의 질 저하를 경험할 위험이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 마음빼기명상 프로그램이 119 구급대원의 외상 후 성장과 회복탄력성에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다. $201^*$년 A소방본부 구급대원 26명을 연구대상으로, 2박 3일간 단기집중 마음빼기명상 프로그램을 적용하기 전과 명상 완료 후에 외상 후 성장과 회복탄력성 설문지를 이용하여 대상자의 상태를 측정하였다. 연구 결과 마음빼기명상 프로그램은 119 구급대원의 외상 후 성장을 $2.85({\pm}.67)$점에서 $3.60({\pm}.72)$점으로 유의하게 증가시켰고, 회복탄력성은 $2.45({\pm}.39)$점에서 $2.83({\pm}.48)$점으로 유의하게 증가시켰다. 결론적으로 마음빼기명상 프로그램은 119 구급대원의 외상 후 성장과 회복탄력성을 향상시키는 효과가 있었으므로, 본 연구에 적용한 마음빼기명상은 119 구급대원의 정신건강관리 프로그램으로 제안될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 의료종사자들의 교육 실태를 조사하고 의료 서비스에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 양질의 의료 서비스 제공에 유용한 자료를 마련하고자 2000. 2. 10부터 2000. 3. 10까지 서울, 경기 지역을 중심으로 341부의 자료를 설문 조사법으로 조사하여 의료 서비스 교육이 서비스에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 의료기관의 위치, 시설장비와 기구, 의료진의 태도에 관한 일반적 의료 서비스의 만족도는 서비스 교육을 받은 집단이 4.07, 교육에 참여하지 않는 집단이 3.97로 나타났으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<.05), 서비스 교육에 참여한 집단이 일반적 의료 서비스의 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 2. 의료기관의 이미지, 진료 수준, 홍보부문에서는 의료 서비스 교육의 경험이 있는 집단이 4.01, 교육의 경험이 없는 집단이 3.83으로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있으며(p<.05), 의료 서비스 교육을 받은 집단에서 서비스 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 3. 이행하고 있는 의료 서비스의 만족도, 개선사항, 의료인력의 적정성을 묻는 전반적 의료 서비스의 만족도는 서비스 교육의 참여 집단이 3.32, 서비스 교육에 참여하지 않는 집단이 3.34로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4. 의료 서비스의 교육과 인식에 따른 만족도는 일반적 특성별로 서비스 교육을 받고 마케팅의 필요성을 느끼고 있는 책임 치과위생사의 집단에서 만족도가 높고 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 5. 교육의 업무와 인식상태를 보면, 교육의 횟수는 1.83회로 나타났고 병원 내부의 서비스 교육의 만족도는 3.24로 낮게 나타났다. 6. 병원의 팀웍은 3.70으로 대체적으로 높게 나타났으며 업무 만족도는 3.56으로 나타났고, 의료기관의 추천도는 2.50으로 의료기관의 권유이사는 낮게 나타났다. 7. 의료기관 종사자들의 의료 서비스 교육의 필요성이 4.40으로 나타나 서비스 교육 필요성의 인식은 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 서비스 교육의 경험이 의료 서비스에 미치는 영향은 절대적이라고 사료되어지며, 본 연구의 결과 서비스 교육이 병원급에서 더 많이 이루어지고 있으나, 서비스 교육의 필요성을 인식하면서도 교육의 참여 기회가 부족함을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 의료기관 종사자들에게 다양한 교육의 참여와 의료기관에 적합한 내부 교육의 프로그램이 개발되어 좋은 의료 서비스가 창출되어야 함을 제언하는 바이다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the legal concept of a license and a qualification for health care personnel. We analyze the appropriateness of the qualification for the first-class paramedics and the sufficiency of 3-year job experience in substitution for college level academic major. Method: We reviewed Laws on Healthcare which stipulate academic and career qualifications for healthcare personnel for whom college-level academic training and job experience to get a license. Results: There is no legal consideration which permits major and educational background substituted by job experience. Only third-class hygienist who graduated from a high school or the equivalent with 3 year job experience can apply for first-class hygienist' national license examination without educational requirements. However, it is nothing to compare with first-class paramedics because the work of hygienist is not directly related to patients care and there is no need of doctor's supervision for hygienist' job. Paramedics have a major role in saving emergency patients in making prompt decision, applying appropriate emergency treatment, securing intravenous route, managing intubation, applying defibrillator, and etc. Conclusion: Ministry of Health & Welfare should grant license to paramedics and annul replacement of academic major background. In addition, it is imperative to broaden the scope of paramedics' job so that they can guarantee patient's life saving in emergency situation with quality major curriculum of college level.

Radioiodine ablation therapy has been considered to be a standard treatment for patient with differentiated thyroid cancer after total thyroidectomy. Patients may need to be hospitalized to reduce radiation exposure of other people and relatives from radioactive patients receiving radioiodine therapy. Medical staffs, nursing staffs and technologists sometimes hesitate to contact patients in radioiodine therapy ward. The purpose of this paper is to introduce radiation dosimetry, estimate radiation dose from patients and emphasize the safety of radiation exposure from patients treated with high dose radioiodine in therapy ward. The major component of radiation dose from patient is external exposure. However external radiation dose from these patients treated with typical therapeutic dose of 4 to 8 GBq have a very low risk of cancer induction compared with other various risks occurring in daily life. The typical annual radiation dose without shielding received by patient is estimated to be 5 to 10 mSv, which is comparable with 100 to 200 times effective dose received by chest PA examination. Therefore, when we should keep in mind the general principle of radiation protection, the risks of radiation exposure from patients are low and the medical personnel are considered to be safe from radiation exposure.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for surgical glove perforation during operation. Methods: During the month of december 2008, a total of 1,400 pairs of surgical gloves used in major operations was collected in a tertiary hospital. All gloves were examined immediately after operation using the standardized water-leak method to detect any perforation. Incidence of the glove perforation was counted according to the type of operation, operation time, the number of involved personnel, perforation sites, and the manufacturing companies. Results: Out of 2,800 gloves examined, 312 perforations were detected comprising 11.1% of samples. In terms of the type of operation, the perforation incidence varied from 5% to 20%, and the perforation rates in CS (20%) and NS (18%) (p<.001) were significantly higher than those in other departments. The 1st assistant or scrub nurse got glove perforation more frequently than the 2nd assistant or operator (p<.001). Longer operation time was associated with higher incidence of perforation evidently (p<.001). In terms of the sites, the thumb and index finger were more frequently perforated than other sites (4.1% and 3.4% respectively) without any differences between left and right side. Conclusion: Risk factors for glove perforation including the department of operation, operation time, participating personnel, and location of perforation should be taken into account to improve surgical safety.

The medical profession has the problem of lack of bioethics, due to the expansion of capitalism and mannerism after modernization. Therefore, the need of education of bioethics is increasing, however, the cramming system of education is insufficient for promoting personal morals. So the author studied ancient and present bioethics and searched for the cause of current bioethics absence and the method of overcoming it. Especially, studying the vocational features of oriental medical doctor as profession and the problems of education of bioethics in oriental medical college, the author searched for the directions of educations of bioethics. The conclusions are as follows. The current medical profession have ethical problems because of social moral hazard, evils of capitalism, change of doctor-patient relationship due to expansion of consumerism, limitation of autonomy due to commercialize of hospitals, decrease of knowledge monopolism of professionals, moral indifference and frailty, and a missdeed preference. The education of bioethics needs "Rest's 4 components" but the current education of bioethics in oriental medicine college lacks of time and is composed of the cramming system of education. So it needs various types of education system. Morals are subjective and discretionary personal character. Therefore, informational education is insufficient for enhancing morals and complex education for various personal attainments (various social indirect experience, philosophical speculation, mental serenity) is needed. It has to be done on the basis of educational method by experience not lecture, long term expectation, and basic understanding of bioethics.
