In this study, we investigated that consumers could differentiate between levels of claims and clarify how a visual aid influences consumer understanding of the different claim levels. We interviewed 2,000 consumers in 13 shopping malls on their perception of and confidence in different levels of health claims using seven point scales. The average confidence scores given by participants were 4.17 for the probable level and 4.07 for the possible level; the score for the probable level was significantly higher than that for the possible level (P < 0.05). Scores for confidence in claims after reading labels with and without a visual aid were 5.27 and 4.43, respectively; the score for labeling with a visual aid was significantly higher than for labeling without a visual aid (P < 0.01). Our results provide compelling evidence that providing health claims with qualifying language differentiating levels of scientific evidence can help consumers understand the strength of scientific evidence behind those claims. Moreover, when a visual aid was included, consumers perceived the scientific levels more clearly and had greater confidence in their meanings than when a visual aid was not included. Although this result suggests that consumers react differently to different claim levels, it is not yet clear whether consumers understand the variations in the degree of scientific support.

PURPOSE: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education for school is extremely important in the community. In Korea, the curriculum for health care training including CPR has been established by law since 2009. The aim of this survey was to investigate the current status of CPR training in school from the viewpoint of program administration and their aids. METHODS: In January 2012, we conducted an interview survey with 243 health teachers regarding their educational status and confidence, current education condition for school, teaching materials, and opinion on governmental health policy. The characteristics of survey respondents were compared according to elementary, middle, and high school. According to their place of work, we focused on teaching methods and programs for implementation of adequate CPR practices. RESULTS: Half of the participants worked in elementary schools, 29% in middle schools, and 20% in high schools. Ninety-four percent of elementary respondents reported having ever run a CPR curriculum, and 51% of middle school respondents and 41% of high school respondents administered CPR education in 2011. The median time for CPR lessons was two class hours [interquartile range (IQR): 1~2]. The median number of students per lesson was 30 (IQR: 26~71). Among those who had been trained, 84% of the elementary school, 56% of middle school, and 55% of the high school had performed manikin practice. Healthcare textbooks (58%), group-used manikins (31%), visual aids (24%), and only 6% of individual practice manikins were secured for use as CPR teaching aids. CONCLUSION: Wide variations in CPR curriculums and educational materials were observed among different school levels, and the standard program administrations and equipment were insufficient. Therefore, strategies and guidelines for program administration should be established as soon as possible.

INTRODUCTIONThe aim of the study is to investigate the effect of using Automated External Defibrillator (AED) audiovisual feedback on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a manikin training setting.
MATERIALS AND METHODSFive cycles of 30 chest compressions were performed on a manikin without CPR prompts. After an interval of at least 5 minutes, the participants performed another 5 cycles with the use of real time audiovisual feedback via the ZOLL E-Series defibrillator. Performance data were obtained and analysed.
RESULTSA total of 209 dialysis centre staff participated in the study. Using a feedback system resulted in a statistically significant improvement from 39.57% to 46.94% (P=0.009) of the participants being within the target compression depth of 4 cm to 5 cm and a reduction in those below target from 16.45% to 11.05% (P=0.004). The use of feedback also produced a significant improvement in achieving the target for rate of chest compression (90 to 110 compressions per minute) from 41.27% to 53.49%; (P<0.001). The mean depth of chest compressions was 4.85 cm (SD=0.79) without audiovisual feedback and 4.91 (SD=0.69) with feedback. For rate of chest compressions, it was 104.89 (SD=13.74) vs 101.65 (SD=10.21) respectively. The mean depth of chest compression was less in males than in females (4.61 cm vs 4.93 cm, P=0.011), and this trend was reversed with the use of feedback.
CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, the use of feedback devices helps to improve the quality of CPR during training. However more studies involving cardiac arrest patients requiring CPR need to be done to determine if these devices improve survival.

During endoscopy, most endoscopists insert endoscopes into the esophagus without visual aid in order to minimize the discomfort to patients. However, studies have shown that visual guided insertion imposes little discomfort, is safe and can increase the diagnostic rate of abnormal pathology of the throat. As for the treatment of hypopharyngeal lesions, cases of endoscopic treatment are rare and any guidelines have not been clearly defined yet. However, endoscopic treatment may be feasible in selected cases. Several procedures, such as endoscopic mucosal resection with cap (EMR-C) and saline injection polypectomy can be applied. We experienced seven patients who had benign hypopharyngeal masses that were removed endoscopically without serious complications. Compared to surgical treatment, endoscopic removal of the benign hypopharyngeal tumors does not require general anesthesia; it is simple, less invasive and less costly. Therefore, endoscopy should be regarded as a treatment option. However, further studies are required before widespread application of endoscopic removal for the definitive treatment of hypopharyngeal masses, including malignancies.

PURPOSE: Patients and their caretakers need to understand various problems and requirements in the dying process so that they may prepare for death for the rest of their remaining life. Accordingly, a systematic audio-visual resource was developed to educate hospice patients and their families at the palliative care ward about the process of dying. METHODS: For the development of an audio-visual resource, a initial education material was produced in the form of simple and accessible Power Point handouts based on literature study. Then, the program was completed through five rounds of a process, including expert advice, revision, update and evaluation. RESULTS: The final version of the program was filmed with cooperation of the medical literature information division. Using the program, patients and families were educated through five phases over three sessions for a total 26 minutes and 34 seconds. CONCLUSION: The significance of this study lies in the fact that it was conducted after the establishment of the palliative care ward, which made it easier for nurses provide the education. It is expected that the program may be used by hospice specialists as well as nurses as an education resource for hospice patients and their families.

OBJECTIVES: Few disciplines in medicine encompasses such wide diagnostic and treatment modalities as cardiology. A traditional text and education system is limited in its efficacy to convey such variety. In order to address this problem, a comprehensive computer-aided education system that compiles and links the current knowledge of cardiovascular diseases is proposed. An availability of such system through CD-ROM and world wide web will contribute undoubtedly to the promotion and betterment of current understandings of cardiology all over the world. METHODS AND RESULTS:1) The information about the cardiovascular diseases has been complied and organized. Multimedia medical information includes text, audio features that allow the users to study actual sounds, and visual aids (slides, real-time demonstration, and schematic illustrations).2) Cardiology education system can be approached according to "Disease module" or "Laboratory test module". One can readily look up the disease of interest and see the results of different tests. Or one can choose the laboratory test or physical examination and study the differences among the diseases. "Self test module" is also available to help user's self assessment of his/her understanding of cardiovascular diseases.3) This cardiology education program is conveniently stored in CD-ROM and can also be accessible through the world wide web (http://med.chungbuk.ac.kr/~mccho/ web-cardiology/alogo.html). CONCLUSION: A multimedia approach for the study of cardiovascular diseases has been developed and is now avaliable in CD-ROM. The same information can be obtained from our home page through the world wide web.

OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we aimed to develop an oral examination smart chart application for tablet personal computers (PC). We evaluated the time required to perform an oral examination and assessed the degree of user's convenience by using this application. We determined to make our application cost and human resource effective by automatically computerizing the statistics to facilitate its application in oral health services such as national oral health research. The development of this application for tablet PCs was aimed at recording the results of oral examinations. METHODS: We produced flow charts and designed the program screen, which would replace the existing paper chart. To evaluate the efficiency of the application, 1 preventive dentistry professor and 6 dentistry students performed an oral examination on 41 subjects. We performed the oral examination in duplicate using a tablet PC and a paper chart. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 program. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The time required for oral examination by the study group (the group using the application) and the control group (the group using paper) were 131.93+/-10.14 and 151.85+/-7.77, respectively; the difference between these values was statistically significant (P-value=0.002). The oral examination could be performed faster in the study group (the group using the application) than in the control group; therefore, we noted that the time taken for oral examination was reduced by using the application. CONCLUSIONS: The tablet-based system has been shown to save time by omitting the step of entering the paper chart data into a computer. Further, the findings of this study can be used to establish an oral health index database with the help of additional resources. Moreover, it would facilitate creating awareness among the patients with regard to their oral health indices through the use of visual aids.
