RESUMO

The history of medicine has been continuously devaluated in medical education but its importance should not be ignored as for other medical humanities. The educational value of the history of medicine could be summarized as follows ; it allows the students 1) to understand the humane aspect of medicine by telling them how medicine has dealt with human health-disease phenomena in each era of the human history. 2) to improve the professionalism by recognizing that medicine is a profession with a long tradition that dates back to the Hippocratic era 3) to improve current medical practice by understanding the limitations and uncertainties of medicine. 4) to understanding the historical changes of the disease phenomena 5) to develop the basic competence of learned intellectual. 6) to integrate the tradition of their own institutions with themselves.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The xenotransplant clinical trial with human subjects seems to be technically feasible, however, it needs the strict regulatory framework from the domestic as well as the international level to make sure the safety of the human subject and the general public. METHODS: The authors reviewed and introduced the current regulations regarding the xenotransplant clinical trial in Korea focusing on the recently stipulated act (Advanced Regenerative Medicine and Biopharmacology Act, ARMBA) and the role of the related government agencies and health institutions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Korea is ready to conduct the xenotransplant clinical trial with human subjects in the current regulatory framework satisfying the requirements of the international guidance. The responsible governmental agencies would collaborate in control the xenotransplant clinical trial under the ARMBA and other related acts and guidance.

RESUMO

This study aims to correct the Chinese characters of (Po Goo Nyo Goan) and its Korean pronunciation by re-examining the circumstances around the establishment of this hospital, and to discover its naming principle which is associated with the Confucian political philosophy of the Joseon Dynasty. Although is the first modern women's hospital in Korea, most historical studies of this institute have been conducted on limited documents and records. Many published studies use the incorrect names in many ways, so the correct name of the hospital is still in confusion. however, was named with four or five of the Chinese characters given by the Joseon government (King Gojong) at the time of its establishment. The Joseon government gave the name of Seonnyeoboguwon to the first modern women's hospital established by Mary Scranton, the name of which was changed to . Some records left by the female missionary doctors who worked in show the romanization and meaning of the name of the hospital. The romanization of clarified the Korean pronunciation of "(nyeo)" at that time. English translation name of the hospital has always shown that the place provided "extensive" medical treatment to women. It proves the fact that the first Chinese character of the name is , not which is expressed in many documents today. The hospital was named according to Confucian ideals just like the other modern hospitals established around the same time, such as Jejungwon, Gwangjewon , Gwanghyeyeowon. The Joseon government commonly used similar Chinese characters during the naming of these hospitals, characters that imply the ideal of the good Confucian king's favor for many people of Joseon. was unique in having the character "(gwan)" in its name, not "(won)" as in other hospitals. It seems to stem from the characteristic of "women's hospital." Po Gu Nyo Goan, the unprecedented women's hospital, was probably imagined as a hospitable accommodation where women provided kindness to people in need. This may have been the reason why , which has the meaning of accommodation, was chosen instead of that primarily meant medical facilities. Correcting the name of helps to eliminate the confusion in current historiography and to promote the understanding of the historical significance of this hospital.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Physicians in both Western and Eastern countries are being confronted by changes in health care delivery systems and medical professionalism values. The traditional concept of "In-Sul" (benevolent art) and the modern history of South Korea have led to cultural differences between South Korea and other countries in conceptualizing medical professionalism; thus, we studied medical students' perceptions of professionalism as described in essays written on this topic. METHODS: In 2014, we asked 109 first-year medical students who were enrolled in a compulsory ethics course to anonymously write a description of an instance of medical professionalism that they had witnessed, as well as reflecting on their own professional context. We then processed 105 valid essays using thematic content analysis with computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. RESULTS: Thematic analysis of the students' essays revealed two core aspects of professionalism in South Korea, one focused on respect for patients and the other on physicians' accountability. The most common theme regarding physician-patient relationships was trust. By contrast, distributive justice was thought to be a non-essential aspect of professionalism. CONCLUSIONS: In Western countries, physicians tend to promote justice in the health care system, including fair distribution of medical resources; however, we found that medical students in South Korea were more inclined to emphasize doctors' relationships with patients. Medical educators should develop curricular interventions regarding medical professionalism to meet the legitimate needs of patients in their own culture. Because professionalism is a dynamic construct of culture, medical educators should reaffirm cultural context-specific definitions of professionalism for development of associated curricula.

RESUMO

When thinking about priority setting in access to healthcare resources, decision-making requires that cost-effectiveness is balanced against medical ethics. The burden of disease has emerged as an important approach to the assessment of health needs for political decision-making. However, the disability adjusted life years approach hides conceptual and methodological issues regarding the claims and value of disabled people. In this article, we discuss ethical issues that are raised as a consequence of the introduction of evidence-based health policy, such as economic evidence, in establishing resource allocation priorities. In terms of ethical values in health priority setting in Korea, there is no reliable rationale for the judgment used in decision-making as well as for setting separate and distinct priorities for different government bodies. An important question, therefore, is which ethical values guiding the practice of decision-making should be reconciled with the economic evidence found in Korean healthcare. The health technology assessment core model from the European network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) project is a good example of incorporating ethical values into decision-making. We suggest that a fair distribution of scarce healthcare resources in South Korea can be achieved by considering the ethical aspects of healthcare.

RESUMO

End-of-life care decision making has become a matter of serious ethical and legal concern in the three Far East Asian Countries of China, Japan, and Korea. Researchers in the three countries collaboratively conducted a comparative descriptive study with respect to physicians' perspectives concerning end-of-life care decisions. In spite of cultural similarities, each country has its own unique set of social, cultural, and political circumstances. So the content and scope of policies and laws on end-of-life decision reflect the differing views of people based on their social status, moral values, religious beliefs, and economic status.

RESUMO

Islet xenotransplantation represents an attractive solution to overcome the shortage of human islets for use in type 1 diabetes. The wide-scale application of clinical islet xenotransplantation, however, requires that such a procedure takes place in a specifically and tightly regulated environment. With a view to promoting the safe application of clinical islet xenotransplantation, a few years ago the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA) published a Consensus Statement that outlined the key ethical and regulatory requirements to be satisfied before the initiation of xenotransplantation studies in diabetic patients. This earlier IXA Statement also documented a disparate regulatory landscape among different geographical areas. This situation clearly fell short of the 2004 World Health Assembly Resolution WHA57.18 that urged Member States "to cooperate in the formulation of recommendations and guidelines to harmonize global practices" to ensure the highest ethical and regulatory standards on a global scale. In this new IXA report, IXA members who are active in xenotransplantation research in their respective geographic areas herewith briefly describe changes in the regulatory frameworks that have taken place in the intervening period in the various geographic areas or countries. The key reassuring take-home message of the present report is that many countries have embraced the encouragement of the WHO to harmonize the procedures in a more global scale. Indeed, important regulatory changes have taken place or are in progress in several geographic areas that include Europe, Korea, Japan, and China. Such significant regulatory changes encompass the most diverse facets of the clinical application of xenotransplantation and comprise ethical aspects, source animals and product specifications, study supervision, sample archiving, patient follow-up and even insurance coverage in some legislations. All these measures are expected to provide a better care and protection of recipients of xenotransplants but also a higher safety profile to xenotransplantation procedures with an ultimate net gain in terms of international public health.

RESUMO

Three East Asian countries, Korea, China, and Japan, have shared a similar cultural background throughout history. This is the basis of the assumption of Asian values in the field of bioethics. However, different processes of modernization and healthcare systems have resulted in considerable differences. Along with the aging process, end-of-life care issues have been increasing in importance in these three countries. We conducted a study of 899 lay persons in 3 countries regarding their perspectives about end-of-life decisions; favorable ways of decision-making in end-of-life care; institutional and legal devices; withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment; and euthanasia. We confirmed several similarities and noted some differences among the three countries.


Tres países del Este Asiático, Corea, China y Japón, han compartido una cultura bioética similar. Sin embargo, los procesos diferentes de modernización y los sistemas de cuidado de la salud han resultado en diferencias considerables. Junto con los procesos de envejecimiento, los temas del cuidado al final de la vida han ido creciendo en importancia en estos tres países. Realizamos un estudio con 899 personas legas en los tres países respecto a sus perspectivas sobre decisiones al final de la vida; formas favorables de toma de decisiones en el cuidado al final de la vida; disposiciones institucionales y legales; retirada de tratamiento de sostenimiento vital; y eutanasia. Confirmamos varias similitudes y notamos algunas diferencias entre los tres países.


Três países asiáticos, Coreia, China, e Japão, têm compartilhado uma semelhante formação cultural através da história. Esta é a base da aceitação de valores asiáticos no campo da bioética. Contudo, diferentes processos de modernização e sistemas de cuidado à saúde resultaram em consideráveis diferenças. Ao logo do processo de envelhecimento, temas sobre cuidados no final-de-vida incrementaram em importância nestes três países. Nós conduzimos um estudo em 899 pessoas leigas nos 3 países considerando as suas perspectivas sobre decisões a cerca do final-de-vida; modos favoráveis de tomada de decisão em cuidados de final-de-vida; dispositivos institutionais e legais; suspensão de tratamento de sustentação da vida; e eutanasia. Nós confirmamos inúmeras semelhanças e notamos algumas diferenças entre os três países.

RESUMO

To develop an international consensus regarding the appropriate conditions for undertaking clinical trials in xenocorneal transplantation, here we review specific ethical, logistical, scientific, and regulatory issues regarding xenocorneal transplantation, and propose guidelines for conduct of clinical xenocorneal transplantation trials. These proposed guidelines are modeled on the published consensus statement of the International Xenotransplantation Association regarding recommended guidelines for conduct of clinical islet xenotransplantation. It is expected that this initial consensus statement will be revised over time in response to scientific advances in the field, and changes in the regulatory framework based on accumulating clinical experience.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To establish the consensus about the conditions for undertaking clinical trials in xenocorneal transplantation in Korea, specific issues regarding the xenocorneal transplantation on ethical and regulatory aspects are addressed, and the guidelines to conduct clinical trial of the xenocorneal transplantation are proposed. METHOD AND RESULTS: Chapter 1 reviews the key ethical requirements and progress of a Korean regulatory framework for clinical trials of xenocorneal transplantation. Chapters 2-7 provide recommendations on source pigs, quality control of porcine corneal procurement, preclinical efficacy required to justify a clinical trial, strategies to prevent transmission of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV), patient selection for clinical trials, and informed consent in xenocorneal transplantation using either cellularized or decellularized porcine graft, which are essentially based on the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA) islet xenotransplantation consensus statement. The consensus statement of the inclusion criteria for the patients' selection has been made by the executive board members in Korean External Eye Disease Society. CONCLUSIONS: This consensus statement will be a good initiative for Korean Food and Drug Administration to discuss final regulatory guidelines in conducting clinical trials of xenocorneal transplantation in Korea and for International Xenotransplantation Association to develop International Consensus Standards of Xenocorneal Transplantation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aims to explore the improvement of medical curriculums by examining the relationship between attributes of the Korean physicians and their needs for specialized departments and professionals for enhancing Korean physicians' social competence. METHODS: The uniqueness of this study is in its conduction a survey about the Korean physicians' needs of specialized departments and professionals for physicians' social competence or not, unlikely that previous studies focused on reviews. Subjects of this study are 288 physicians among the members of the Korean Society of Medical Education and The Korea Intern Resident Association. The hierarchical regression analyses are conducted. RESULTS: The authors present the results. First, the needs of specialized departments decline if physicians have ever majored on basic medical and learned professionalism ethics. Second, the older physicians are, the much more learned professionalism ethics and the needs of leadership competence physicians have, the necessities of specialized professionals are reduced. Finally, the physicians' needs of patient-oriented communication and sympathy of human in society as well as professionalism ethics increase recognitions of the importance of specialized professionals. CONCLUSION: These results show that strengthening systemic and educators' individual capacity for successful social competence curriculums is important.

RESUMO

Contemporary medical ethics is far from the traditional concept of "In-Sul (benevolent art)" or "Yul-Li (倫, ethics), which emphasizes so much the personality or the character of a doctor. Nowadays, medical ethics should be considered as "professional ethics" which regulates the acts and medical practices of ordinary doctors in their daily practice. The key concepts of the professional ethics are "autonomy", "integrity", and "professional standard" established by medical organizations such as medical societies or associations. Most of Korean doctors have not been familiar with the concept of professional ethics or professionalism, which is due to the modern history of Korea. However, the concept of professional ethics is really critical to Korean doctors from the perspective of professional dignity and social respect to this profession. The current healthcare system of Korea is suffering from many problems of both private and public sector. Nonetheless, the professional ethics is urgently demanded for that very reason.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Xenotransplantation research has been being actively conducted in Korea. However, there are numbers of socio-ethical issues involved in this research, and it is necessary to know public attitudes toward the research, inducing "public consensus" for the sound development of the technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A telephone survey consisting of 10 questionnaire items was conducted to investigate the attitudes of Koreans on social and ethical issues related to xenotransplantation. Participants were randomly selected in proportion to the 2009 Korean population census. The response rate was 22.3%. Finally, 500 sets of data were collected and analyzed with SPSS® 12. A statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. RESULTS: In the first phase of the study, 69.8% of the respondents were positive about xenotransplantation while 29.0% were negative. However, after being informed of the specific benefit and risk, 58.4% of the respondents stated that xenotransplantation research should be continued, while 38.6% of them indicated that these studies should be prohibited; 63.0% of the respondents agreed with lifelong surveillance after xenotransplantation, while 34.0% disagreed. To avoid triggering immune response in the transplantees, 63.0% of the respondents also approved of the necessity of genetic modification of pigs. If xenotransplantation proves to be safe, 56.8% of the respondents said that they would accept it if necessary; 69.8% of the respondents would recommend it for their family members and friends as a therapeutic option if they are in need. Men were more positive than women about the necessity of animal experimentation for xenotransplantation research, the necessity of lifelong surveillance, and the necessity of genetic modification of pigs. There was no significant difference between the religious and non-religious group except about the issue of lifelong surveillance. CONCLUSION: Korean people have relatively positive attitudes toward xenotransplantation research and animal experiments regarding xenotransplantation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aims at to make intermediate-term evaluations of a curriculum by investigating its development, operation and outcomes 2 years after its revision. METHODS: A survey using 5-point-Lickert scale questionnaires was given to the group of directors who developed the curriculum, instructors who only used it in their classes, and a student group from the first and second grades. Focus group interviews were performed in the professor groups. RESULTS: Curricular reform was evaluated as being systematic, democratic, and positive in general. Both groups answered questions positively about the relevance of the integrated curriculum and introduction of clinical medicine (ICM), graded as 3.4 (professor) and 3.5 (student). As for problem-based learning (PBL) and the patient-doctor-society (PDS), the professor group responded more positively than students. The 'web-based learning center' was recognized positively by many more students (4.01) than professors (2.75). With regard to the education outcome, professors gave 3.3 points and students 3.5 to an item that asked 'whether students attained the learning goal or not?' Professors, through interviews, showed their satisfaction with the attempt to reform the curriculum, but they pointed out that long-term evaluations should be performed. CONCLUSION: The interim evaluation of the revised curriculum, from its planning to its effects, affirmed by several suggestions to be successful in the long run through 1) enhancement of systematic participation and communication, 2) further integration, 3) steady evaluation, 4) greater effort on professional development, and 5) active interaction between professors and students.
