Background: The purpose of this study was to identify factors inhibiting access of people with disability to health check-ups as well as identify pertinent solutions for improvement. Methods: Twenty-three people with disability older than the age of 19 who took respective health check-ups within the last 3 years were selected as participants. For the data collection, the 1:1 intensive interview was used. The data were analyzed by the grounded theory by Corbin and Strauss. Results: The results comprised nine categories, 23 subcategories, and 179 concepts. The central phenomenon was 'failure to obtain check-ups.' Causal conditions were observed as a 'lack of communication method,' 'physical difficulties,' and 'staff unfamiliar with people with disability,' Interventional conditions comprised 'physical accessibility,' 'staffs' competency,' and 'assistant manpower.' The active strategy was included 'to investigate the professional medical institution,' 'to find the medical institution of convenient traffic accessibility,' 'to overcome communication difficulties through equipment,' and 'to overcome linguistic barriers through sufficient communication.' Whereas, 'utilization of ancillary equipment,' 'the education of staffs on people with disability,' 'universal design manual,' and 'customized check-ups' were included in the passive strategy. Such processes arose in the contextual conditions of 'lack of expectations for daily lives' and 'lack of government support.' As a consequence, the subjects participated experienced the 'disadvantages,' 'discrimination,' and 'reduced reliability of the health check-ups.' Conclusion: The subjects who participated in this study emphasized 'staffs familiar with people with disability' and 'systems customized for people with disability' are mandatory to secure complete health check-ups for people with disability.

The hospice activities in Korea have still stood in the premature stage, although the contemporary hospice program, which professionally accommodates terminally ill patients, appeared in the history 35 years ago. Especially, the availability of the facility hospice is not only poor in number, but also lack of a guideline for the conduct of the facility. Saemmul Hospice has keenly felt the necessity of more facility hospices and has interchanged experiences and informations with people interested in hospice. However, the number of facilities has fallen short of one's expectations, and many problems have been revealed in order to maintain the operation. This paper was written in order to improve these atmospheres and to help more terminally ill cancer patients properly. This paper clarifies in detail the principle of management, the method of practice in each departments of Saemmul Hospice, expected effects and supplemental items. We try to provide concrete and practical informations and to help extensively for all peoples who are to begin or currently working. 1.Facility: It secures, maintain, and manage the hospice environment for all around care of patients effectively. 2.Education and Volunteer: It trains and manages hospice volunteers devoted to hospice. 3.Financial: It manages donation by healthy soul with an effective method. 4.Administration and Organization: It executes the administration efficiently and constitutes the organization to operate. 5.Medical and Nursing: It offers the maximum professional supports to a hospital. 6.Medicine and alternative medicine: It improves the quality of life of patients by medical and pharmaceutical approach and by other possible methods available. 7.Nutrition: It helps patients to have diets in accord with the order of the creation. 8.Belief: It offers spiritual care which allows the profound relationship with God. 9. Funeral ceremonies: Funeral ceremonies may heal grieves of families faced with their deaths. 10. Bereaved families: It supports the families after the deaths of patients. 11.Reception and consultation: It seeks to help the patients who meet the purposes for which Saemmul Hospice is established. 12.Publication: It allows publicity activities for Saemmul Hospice. Facility hospice programs are able to overcome the disadvantages that the other type of the hospice possess, like as the economic burdens of the families, and the patients' losses of comforts of home after being transferred to a hospital. Facility hospice can provide home atmosphere with professional manpower and facilities like hospital to the patients. Therefore, it can also improve patients' qualities of life and make them comfortable death. We anticipate that the hospice program in Korea would be more active to let more people be indebted to maintain the nobel human dignity and to cross beautifully in the most painful process of dying in the journey of their lives.

통합보건지소의 운영실태를 조사하고 이를 평가함으로써 지역주민에게 더욱 효율적이고 지역주민의 요구에 부합하는 서비스를 제공하는데 필요한 사업방향을 제시하는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 경상북도의 통합보건지소 3개소와 경상남도의 통합보건지소 2개소, 총 5개소의 통합보건지소를 2000년 12월 부터 2001년 1월까지 방문하여 보건지소 통합 전후의 인력, 시설, 장비, 진료 및 보건사업의 내용과 통합운영의 문제점 및 개선방안에 대한 면담을 실시하였다. 조사 대상 통합보건지소의 통합 전후 인력변화는 전체 인력은 6.8명에서 9.6명으로 2.8명 증가하였으며, 근무자 수는 통합보건지소는 6-14명으로 변이가 컸다. 통합 전후의 인력은 의사와 치과의사, 간호인력은 비슷하였고, 임상병리사와 방사선사는 한 명도 근무하지 않다가 3개 통합보건지소에 배치되었다. 보건지소 통합 후 일반진료와 치과진료는 약간 증가하였고, 방사선검사와 물리치료, 임상병리검사는 크게 증가하였다. 보건사업의 변화는 방문보건사업 건수와 이동진료 건수, 보건교육 연인원은 통합 전에 비하여 통합 후에 크게 증가하였으며, 예방접종과 자궁경부암 검진은 비슷하였다. 고혈압과 당뇨병 등록 환자수는 약간 증가하였다. 보건지소 통합 이후에 검사건수가 증가하였으나 서비스의 질은 높아졌다고 보기 어려우나, 방문보건, 이동진료, 보건교육사업은 크게 증가하여 긍정적인 현상으로 보인다. 보건지소 통합의 문제점은 인력간 업무의 내용의 불명확성, 과다하게 넓은 건물의 관리의 어려움, 보강되지 않은 장비, 운영비의 미책정, 보건교육을 위한 전문교육의 부족 등이었다. 향후 통합보건지소 기능 활성화를 위하여 의사, 간호인력 및 행정직을 배치하기 위한 최소배치 기준을 보건지소의 기준과는 별도로 설정하여야 할 것이며, 진료 및 방문서비스의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 기본장비를 확충하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 인력간 업무의 분장을 명확히 하고, 업무관련 가이드라인을 개발하여 제공함으로써 업무의 효율성을 증대시켜야 한다.

적정기술이 현장에서 널리 활용되기 위한 조건 중의 하나는 그 기술을 적용하기 위한 용이함과 경제성이 뒷받침 되어야 한다. 특히 질병의 진단은 전문 인력, 장비, 그리고 시약 등의 비용이 높아, 다른 분야에 비하여 개발도상국에 적용되기 가장 어려운 분야이다. 최근, 주변에 가장 흔한 소재 중의 하나인 종이를 기반으로, 특수한 시설이나 장비가 필요 없이도, 누구나 쉽게 배워서 제작하고, 사용할 수 있는 종이 진단칩 기술이 속속 개발되고 있다. 본 기술들은 특정 질병의 진단에 현장에서 신속하게 제작이 가능한 기술로 활용 가능한 현장진단 칩으로 연구되고 있으며, 그 활용 가능성이 커지고 있다. 이 기술들의 완성도가 높아지면, 개발도상국의 가장 큰 의료문제들을 해결하여, 궁극적으로 인간의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.
