Nursing of today has as one of its objectives the solving of problems related to human needs arising from the demands of a rapidly changing society. This nursing objective, I believe, can he attained by the appropriate application of scientific principles in the giving of comprehensive nursing care. Comprehensive nursing care may be defined as nursing care which meets all of the patient's needs. the needs of patients are said to fall into five broad categories: physical needs, psychological needs, environmental needs, socio-economic needs, and teaching needs. Most people who become ill have adjustment problems related to their new situation. Because patient teaching is one of the most important functions of professional nursing, the success of this teaching may be used as a gauge for evaluating comprehensive nursing care. This represents a challenge foe the future. A questionnaire consisting of 67 items was distributed to 200 professional nurses working ill direct patient care at Yonsei University Medical Center in Seoul, Korea. 160 (80,0%) nurses of the total sample returned completed questionnaires 81 (50.6%) nurses were graduates of 3 fear diploma courser 79 (49.4%) nurses were graduates of 4 year collegiate nursing schools in Korea 141 (88,1%) nurses had under 5 years of clinical experience in a medical center, while 19 (11.9%) nurses had more than 5years of clinical experience. Three hypotheses were tested: 1. “Nurses had high levels of concept and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of the T-test. Conclusions of this study are as follow: Before attempting the explanation, of the results, the questionnaire will he explained. The questionnaire contained 67 questions divided into 9 sections. These sections were: concept, content, time, prior preparation, method, purpose, condition, evaluation, and recommendations for patient teaching. 1. The nurse's concept of patient teaching: Most of the nurses had high levels of concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching. Though nursing service was task-centered at the turn of the century, the emphasis today is put on patient-centered nursing. But we find some of the nurses (39.4%) still are task-centered. After, patient teaching, only a few of the nurses (14.4%) checked this as “normal teaching.”It seems therefore that patient teaching is often done unconsciously. Accordingly it would he desirable to have correct concepts and knowledge of teaching taught in schools of nursing. 2. Contents of patient teaching: Most nurses (97.5%) had good information about content of patient teaching. They teach their patients during admission about their diseases, tests, treatments, and before discharge give nurses instruction about simple nursing care, personal hygiene, special diets, rest and sleep, elimination etc. 3. Time of patient teaching: Teaching can be accomplished even if there is no time set aside specifically for it. -a large part of the nurse's teaching can be done while she is giving nursing care. If she believes she has to wait for time free from other activities, she may miss many teaching opportunities. But generally proper time for patient teaching is in the midmorning or midafternoon since one and a half or two hours required. Nurses meet their patients in all stages of health: often tile patient is in a condition in which learning is impossible-pain, mental confusion, debilitation, loss of sensory perception, fear and anxiety-any of these conditions may preclude the possibility of successful teaching. 4. Prior preparation for patient teaching: The teaching aids, nurses use are charts (53.1%), periodicals (23.8%), and books (7.0%) Some of the respondents (28.1%) reported that they had had good preparation for the teaching which they were doing, others (27.5%) reported adequate preparation, and others (43.8%) reported that their preparation for teaching was inadequate. If nurses have advance preparation for normal teaching and are aware of their objectives in teaching patients, they can do effective teaching. 5. Method of patient teaching: The methods of individual patient teaching, the nurses in this study used, were conversation (55.6%) and individual discussion (19.2%) . And the methods of group patient teaching they used were demonstration (42.3%) and lecture (26.2%) They should also he prepared to use pamphlet and simple audio-visual aids for their teaching. 6. Purposes of patient teaching: The purposes of patient teaching is to help the patient recover completely, but the majority of the respondents (40.6%) don't know this. So it is necessary for them to understand correctly the purpose of patient teaching and nursing care. 7. Condition of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (75.0%) reported there were some troubles in teaching uncooperative patients. It would seem that the nurse's leaching would be improved if, in her preparation, she was given a better understanding of the patient and communication skills. The majority of respondents in the total group, felt teaching is their responsibility and they should teach their patient's family as well as the patient. The place for teaching is most often at the patient's bedside (95.6%) but the conference room (3.1%) is also used. It is important that privacy be provided in learning situations with involve personal matters. 8. Evaluation of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (76.3%,) felt leaching is a highly systematic and organized function requiring special preparation in a college or university, they have the idea that teaching is a continuous and ever-present activity of all people throughout their lives. The suggestion mentioned the most frequently for improving preparation was a course in patient teaching included in the basic nursing program. 9. Recommendations: 1) It is recommended, that in clinical nursing, patient teaching be emphasized. 2) It is recommended, that insertive education the concepts and purposes of patient teaching he renewed for all nurses. In addition to this new knowledge, methods and materials which can be applied to patient teaching should be given also. 3) It is recommended, in group patient teaching, we try to embark on team teaching.

The government has adopted a policy to introduce Home Health Care Program, and has established a three stage plan to implement it. The three stage plan is : First, to amend Article 54 (Nurses for Different Types of Services) of the Regulations for Implementing the Law of Medical Services; Second, to tryout the new system through pilot projects established in public hospitals and clinics; and third, to implement at all hospitals and equivalent medical institutions. In accordance with the plan, the Regulation has been amend and it was promulgated on January 9,1990, thus establishing a legal ground for implementing the policy. Subsequently, however, the Medical Association raised its objection to the policy, causing a delay in moving into the second stage of the plan. Under these circumstances, a study was conducted by collecting and evaluating the opinions of physicians, nurses, non-medical personnel and patients on the need and expected result from the home health care for the purpose of help facilitating the implementation of the new system. As a result of this study, it was revealed that: 1. Except the physicians, absolute majority of all other three groups - nurses, non-medical personnel and patients -gave positive answers to all 11 items related to the need for establishing a program for Home Health Care. Among the physicians, the opinions on the need for the new services were different depending on their field of specialty, and those who have been treating long term patients were more positive in supporting the new system. 2. The respondents in all four groups held very positive view for the effectiveness and the expected result of the program. The composite total of scores for all of 17 items, however, re-veals that the physicians were least positive for the- effectiveness of the new system. The people in all four groups held high expectation on the system on the ground that: it will help continued medical care after the discharge from hospitals; that it will alleviate physical and economic burden of patient's family; that it will offer nursing services at home for the patients who are suffering from chronic disease, for those early discharge from hospital, or those who are without family members to look after the patients at home. 3. Opinions were different between patients( who will receive services) and nurses (who will provide services) on the types of services home visiting nurses should offer. The patients wanted "education on how to take care patients at home", "making arrangement to be admitted into hospital when need arises", "IV injection", "checking blood pressure", and "administering medications." On the other hand, nurses believed that they can offer all 16 types of services except "Controlling pain of patients", 4. For the question of "what types of patients are suitable for Home Health Care Program; " the physicians, the nurses and non-medical personnel all gave high score on the cases of "patients of chronic disease", "patients of old age", "terminal cases", and the "patients who require long-term stay in hospital". 5. On the question of who should control Home Health Care Program, only physicians proposed that it should be done through hospitals, while remaining three groups recommended that it should be done through public institutions such as public health center. 6. On the question of home health care fee, the respondents in all four groups believed that the most desireable way is to charge a fixed amount of visiting fee plus treatment service fee and cost of material. 7. In the case when the Home Health Care Program is to be operated through hospitals, it is recommended that a new section be created in the out-patient department for an exclusive handling of the services, instead of assigning it to an existing section. 8. For the qualification of the nurses for-home visiting, the majority of respondents recommended that they should be "registered nurses who have had clinical experiences and who have attended training courses for home health care". 9. On the question of if the program should be implemented; 74.0% of physicians, 87.5% of non-medical personnel, and 93.0% of nurses surveyed expressed positive support. 10. Among the respondents, 74.5% of -physicians, 81.3% of non-medical personnel and 90.9% of nurses said that they would refer patients' to home health care. 11. To the question addressed to patients if they would take advantage of home health care; 82.7% said they would if the fee is applicable to the Health Insurance, and 86.9% said they would follow advises of physicians in case they were decided for early discharge from hospitals. 12. While 93.5% of nurses surveyed had heard about the Home Health Care Program, only 38.6% of physicians surveyed, 50.9% of non-medical personnel, and 35.7% of patients surveyed had heard about the program. In view of above findings, the following measures are deemed prerequisite for an effective implementation of Home Health Care Program. 1. The fee for home health care to be included in the public health insurance. 2. Clearly define the types and scope of services to be offered in the Home Health Care Program. 3. Develop special programs for training nurses who will be assigned to the Home Health Care Program. 4. Train those nurses by consigning them at hospitals and educational institutions. 5. Government conducts publicity campaign toward the public and the hospitals so that the hospitals support the program and patients take advantage of them. 6. Systematic and effective publicity and educational programs for home heath care must be developed and exercises for the people of medical professions in hospitals as well as patients and their families. 7. Establish and operate pilot projects for home health care, to evaluate and refine their programs.

1. 연세(延世) 조사내용(調査內容)과 근소(近少)한 차(差)는 있으되 그것과 거의 대동소이(大同小異)하여 1인(人) 1일당(日當) 평균(平均) 섭취열량(攝取熱量)은 권장량에 $7{\sim}8%$ 미달(求達)이다. 섭취(攝取)된 열량(熱量)도 시범(示範)(어곳) 부락(部落)의 평균(平均) 84.5%와 비교(比較)(부평) 부락(部落)의 82.2%를 곡류(穀類)에 의존(依存)하고 있는 고로 위(胃)의 부담(負擔)만을 늘여주고 있다. 따라서 소화기계통(消火器系統)의 질병(疾病)도 줄이고 소정(所定)의 열량(熱量)을 섭취(攝取)하기 위(爲)해서는 곡물(穀物)의 일부(一部)를 지방(脂肪)으로 대치(代置)해야 될 것 같다. 2. 체력증진(體力 增進)과 보건향상(保健向上)을 위(爲)해서 가장 중요(重要)한 것이 단백질(蛋白質)인데 이것도 1인(人) 1일당(日當) 평균(平均) 권장량(勸奬量)에 미급(未及)한 68.3% 밖에 섭취(攝取)하지 못하고 있고, 그나마도 곡물성(植物性) 단백(蠶白) 위주(爲主)이다. 동물성(動物性) 단백(蛋白) 대(對) 곡물성단백(植物性蠶白)의 비(比)는 1 : 3이 건강유지(健康維持)에 이상적(理想的)인 것으로 알려져 있는데 그 중(中)의 동물성(動物性) 단백(蛋白)이 겨우 13.6g에 불과(不過)하여 1 : 3의 비(比)에 부족(不足)된다. 3. 무주염류중(無株鹽類中)에서 Ca은 시범부락(示範部落)에서 1인(人) 1일당(日當) 평균(平均) 497.6mg 비교부락(比較部落)에서도 역시(亦是) 8mg의 차(差) 밖에 없는 505.5mg를 섭취(攝取)하고 있는 실정(實情)인데 이것도 권장량에 35%나 미달(未達)되고 섭취(攝取)된 Ca라 할지라도 50% 이상(以上)은 곡류(穀類)나 채소(菜蔬) 등(等)의 곡물성(植物性)이 급원(給源)이다. 따라서 수산등(蓚酸等)이 많은 곡물성(植物崔)에 기인(基因)하는 Ca 는 체력이용도(體內利用度)가 저조(低調)함으로 실질적(實質的)으로는 더욱 부족(不足)할 것으로 예상(豫想)된다. 따라서 양질(良貿)의 Ca 급원(給源)을 보다 많이 섭취(攝取)토륵 노력(努力)해야 할 것이다. Fe는 빈혈(貧血)의 예방(豫防)과 적혈구형성(赤血球形成)에 불가결물(不可缺物)인데 다행(多幸)히도 권장량(勸奬量)을 훨씬 초과(超過)한 147%(두 부락 평균(平均) 흡수율(吸收率) 표(表))나 섭취(攝取)하고 있다. 곡류(穀類)나 채소(菜蔬) 등(等)의 급원(給源)이 풍부(豊富)한 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 4. Vitamin류(類)에서 Vt-A와 $Vt-B_2$는 각각(各各) 1인(人) 1일당(日當) 40% 와 32%가 권장량(勸奬量)에 미급(末及)한데 반(反)해서 Vt-B_1$은 우연하게도 권장량(勸奬量)을 그리고 niacin은 초과(超過) 섭취(攝取)하고 있는 현상(現象)이다. Vt-C도 훨씬 많은 양(量)이 초과(超過)되고 있다. 그러나 이것은 조리전(調理前)의 재료(材料) 식품(食品)에서 산출(算出)된 것이고 조리시(調理時)의 손실량(損失量)을 고려(考慮)치 않았기 때문에 실지흡수량(實地吸收量)은 이보다는 약간(着干) 적은 양(量)일 것으로 예상(豫想)된다. 또 본조사(本調査)가 5월(月)인고로 계절적(季節的)으로 많은 양(量)이 생산(生産)되는 상추와 시금치 등(等)의 채식급원(菜食給源)이 그 원인(原因)(초과)을 이룬것이 아닌가 생각된다. 이상(以上) 종합적(綜合的)으로 볼 때 한두 가지의 식품(食品)에서 권장량(勸奬量)을 혹은 그 이상(以上)의 양(量)을 섭취(擺取)하고 있는 것을 제외(除外)하며는 전반적(全般的)으로 1인(人) 1일당(日當) 평균권장량(平均勸奬量)에 미달(未達)이고 더군다나 이들 두 부락(部落)은 식생활개선(食生活改善) 시범부락(示範部落)이면서도 곡류의존(穀類依存)의 전통적(傳統的)인 식생활(食生活)에서 벗어나지 못하고 있는 감(感)이 짙다. 개인소득(個人所得)과도 관계(關係)가 크기 때문에 부득이(不得已)하겠지만 각농가(各農家)에서 생산(生産)되는 우유(牛乳)나 양유(羊乳) 또는 계란등(鷄卵等)이 자가소비(自家消費)가 아니고 오히러 시판위주(市販爲主)가 아닌가 생각될 때 앞으로 좀 더 1선농민(1線農民)들의 실지생활(實地生活)에 부합(附合)될 수 있는 새로운 어떤 식생활(食生潘) 개선책(改善策)과 지도(指導)및 계몽(啓蒙)이 적절(適切)히 이루어져야 소기(所期)의 성과(成果)를 얻을 수 있지 않을가 생각된다.
