Objectives : This study was aimed to facilitate mutual comprehension between Western and Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) by analyzing recognition of medical school students on traditional medical prescription and treatment such as herbal medicines and acupuncture. Methods : We conducted a survey targeting medical school students of four medical schools from April through May 2009, and analyzed 208 cases responded. Results : Survey results revealed that medical school students took knowledge of traditional medicine from TV programs and on the Web in general. They thought they had considerable traditional medical knowledge but did not almost understand for professional contents. Regardless of some positive recognition for traditional herbal medicine, negative perspectives were more common and its safety and efficacy on the drug reference were considered as a major reason. On the other hand, recognition on acupuncture was comparatively positive. Scientific data for both herbal medicine and acupuncture are lacking in reality but the attitude only for acupuncture was different. Of the survey respondents, 57.8% had negative attitude against diagnostic methods of TKM and 59.1% opposed to the usage of modern medical equipments by TKM doctors. With regard to the future position of TKM, they tacitly approved that TKM would be absorbed into the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and importance of TKM objectification, followed by Government's support. Conclusions : Medical school students neither affirm nor deny TKM as a whole but the state of awareness for each item was similar to the physician. In terms of TKM its internal and external innovation would be required to continuously establish objectification of TKM prescription and scientific research on treatment technology.

환자가 의사를 상대로 의료사고에 대한 민사책임을 추궁하기 위하여 소송을 제기하게 될 때, 의사의 의료과실과 환자에게 발생한 손해 사이에 인과관계가 존재하는지 여부는 소송의 승패를 좌우한다. 의료과실소송에서는 의료가 지니는 특수성으로 인하여 다른 민사사건과 달리 인과관계의 존부의 판단이 쉽지 않다. 또한 의료과실소송에서는 진료기록을 비롯한 정보가 의사에게 집중되어 있고, 환자의 의료지식은 의사에 비하여 상대적으로 부족하다. 따라서 원고인 환자가 부담하는 인과관계에 관한 증명책임의 완화가 판례를 통하여 인정되고 있다. 이에 본고에서는 우리나라에서 의료민사책임에서 인과관계를 어떻게 인정하는지에 관한 법리를 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 우리나라 판례의 태도를 인과관계가 문제되는 유형별 - 일반적 의료행위의 경우, 설명의무의 경우, 의료과실과의 인과관계가 없는 경우 - 로 나누어 고찰하기로 한다.

본 연구는 입원환자의 만족도과 병원추천의향에 미치는 영향 요인을 연구하기 위해 '2018년 의료서비스경험조사' 원시자료중 입원의 경험이 있는 593명의 자료를 분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과, 환자의 입원 경험은 의사 요인, 간호사 요인, 시설 및 행정, 보건의료제도의 4개 요인으로 분류되었다. 의사 요인, 간호사 요인, 시설 및 행정 요인, 보건의료제도 요인은 성별, 연령, 교육수준 등의 인구사회학적 요인과 건강관련 요인을 통제한 다중회귀분석에서, 입원환자의 만족도와 병원추천의향에 각각 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 입원환자의 만족도를 제고하기 위해 의사, 간호사 등 의료진과 병원의 시설 및 행정지원 서비스가 총체적으로 환자중심적인 태도와 방향으로 개선하는 노력 외에도 보건의료제도에 대한 신뢰와 만족을 제고하기 위한 다각적인 방안이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

To assess comparatively the administrative behavior of vaccination and satisfaction of physicians by the provision method according to the National Expanded Programme on Immunization (NEPI) between 2005 and 2006 Demonstration Project in Korea. A questionnaire was performed at 582 and 64 physicians in Daegu metropolitan city and Gunpo city on 2005 (a response rate of 39.3%, 45.3%, respectively). Also, we sampled 31, 56, and 28 physicians in Gangneung city, Yangsan city, and Yeongi county on 2006 (a response rate of 35.5%, 98.2%, and 60.7%, respectively). We analyzed these data set using descriptive analysis and $\chi^2$-test through SPSS for Windows (12.0). Most question categories in Daegu metropolitan city and Gunpo city on 2005 were higher than those in the 2006 Demonstration Project regions. These were 'preparing and signing informed consent to vaccination', 'doing physical examination before periodic immunization', 'searching past shot history and inputting the current shot record through the immunization registry management program by physician', 'filing a medical record', 'satisfying the impact of 2005 and 2006 Demonstration Project and achieving the expectation of this Project', and 'improving the immunization coverage rate', et al. In conclusion, we show that the attitudes and practices of physician should be more sensitive to free vaccination services by private clinics and hospitals than public health centers. In the near future, the government must consider the opinion of physicians in implementing the NEPI by the affordable method of the public-private dynamics.

충남지역에 소재한 모 대학 병원에 1986년 11월부터 1987년 11월까지의 기간중에 입원한 환자 1,400명중 본 조사에 응한 1,319명을 조사대상으로 병원써비스의 사회적 작용 과정 측면에서의 의료기술외적 제조건들이 병원 선택 태도에 미치는 영향을 설문지 조사방법으로 실시한 바 아래와 같은 결과를 얻어 요약한다. 1. 창구직원의 친절, 환자의 병실 방문 요청에 대한 의사 또는 간호사의 반응, 의사의 병세 설명에 대한 성실성, 주치의의 진료성실성, 의사에 대한 환자의 신뢰감, 간호사의 친절, 간호사에 대한 환자의 신뢰감, 병원의 청결, 환의의 청결, 침구의 청결, 병원식, 배선원의 친절, 병원의 휴식분위기 등 모든 조건이 비록 결정적인 병원선택의 조건은 아니나 복합적으로 작용하여 병원선택의 기준이 되고 있다. 2.사회적 작용 과정 측면에서의 병원써비스 조건들은 의료시설 또는 의료기술을 동기로 병원에 입원한 경우보다 단순히 교통조건을 동기로 병원에 입원한 경우가 차후 병원선택의 태도에 더욱 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정된다.

Purpose. This study examined Korean clinical nurses' intentions to care for SARS patients and identify determinants of the intentions. Theory of planned behavior was the framework to explain the intentions of Korean nurses for SARS patients care. Methods. A convenient sample of six hundreds and seventy nine clinical nurses from four university-affiliated hospitals located in Seoul and in Kyung-gi province was used. Self-administered (83-items) questionnaire was used to collect data. Intentions, attitude, subjective norm, perceive behavioral control, behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs were the study variables. All items were measured using 7point Likert scale (-3 to +3). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation method, and stepwise multiple regression methods. Results. Intentions and attitudes toward SARS patient care among Korean clinical nurses were moderate, but their subjective norm and perceive behavioral control of SARS patients care were negative. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that attitude toward SARS patient care, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm were the determinants of the intentions for SARS patients care as theory proposed. Among the behavioral beliefs, 'SARS-patient caring would be a new experience', 'during SARS-patient caring, I should be apart from my family', 'after completing SARS-patient caring, I would be proud of myself being able to cope with a stressful event' and 'with my SARS-patient caring, patients could recover from SARS' were the significant determinants. Among the normative beliefs, colleague approval, spouse approval, and physician approval were significant determinants of the intentions. Among the control beliefs, 'SARS-patient caring would be a challenge' 'SARS-patient caring is a professional responsibility', 'tension during the care of SARS patients' and 'support from team members' were the significant determinants of the intentions. Conclusions. Korean clinical nurses in this study were not willing to care for SARS patients and showed negative attitude toward the care. They believed their friends and family were not approved their care for SARS patients. Nurses were in conflicts between professional responsibilities to care for SARS patients and personal safety. This study was the first to understand stress and burden of Korean clinical nurses who are in front line to care for newly developed communicable disease such as SARS. Under the circumstance where several fatal communicable diseases are predictable, conflicts between professional responsibility and their personal risks should be taken into considerations by nurses themselves and by nursing administrators in order to improve quality of care.

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of musculoskeletal problems in elderly Korean women and their actual and current use of dietary supplements by conducting a descriptive survey. Methods: The 1-month study began on April 3, 2012. A total of 150 elderly women from City D responded to the survey questionnaire used in this study. Results: Among the respondents, 55.3% used dietary supplements, although they had not consulted a physician for a definitive diagnosis of their condition but reported a self-perceived musculoskeletal problem instead. In addition, they engaged in healthy behaviors such as exercising and dietary supplement intake, without receiving any medical treatment. Compared with the nonusers, the dietary supplement users self-perceived a relatively more serious musculoskeletal problem (t =4.566, p<.001). Among the most commonly used supplements, multivitamins ranked first, followed by glucosamine and omega-3. Conclusion: Nurses should thoroughly monitor and maintain a positive attitude toward their patients' use of dietary supplements in order to appropriately educate them about the proper use of supplements.
