OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to develop Treatment Guidelines for Alcohol Use Disorder-the Korean Addiction Treatment Guidelines-using the Adaptation method. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: As the Adaptation method of Guidelines, the ADAPTE Manual, which is developed by ADAPTE collaboration is applied. In Part 1 : preparatory work prior to the beginning of Adaptation is performed. In Part 2 : the core phase of the Adaptation in which we searched the guidelines and performed a systematic review of the literature. The two guidelines (of the AU and the UK) are selected by gone through the methodological quality and currency evaluation for guidelines. And, in order to choose the proper recommendations, the contents were evaluated with regard to the applicability and acceptability of guidelines to the domestic. Finally, in Part 3 : the adapted guideline is reviewed externally, with review and plan update. Therefore, in this way, the Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, comprised of 55 recommendations, was developed. CONCLUSION: In this study, Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder were developed by application of the Adaptation method of ADAPTE. These are the first evidence-based Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, which were modified and accepted in accordance with Korean circumstances within the range not damaging the validity of the treatment worth, and it is expected to contribute to improvement in quality and efficiency enhancement of Korean treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the structural characteristics of a scientific network of psychiatry and the effect of social networks on the performance of scholars. METHODS: The data were extracted from 261 articles published from 1996 to 2013 in the Journal of the Korean Neuropsychiatric Association, and were transformed into a co-author and their affiliation matrix. We used measures from network analysis (i.e., degree centrality, weighted degree centrality, eigenvector centrality, betweenness centrality) for evaluating the effect of co-authorship network on the performance of scholars (h-index). Netminer 4.1 was used for the network analysis. RESULTS: Both co-authorship and affiliation network demonstrated power law distribution. Coauthor's centralities were correlated with research achievements. Results from poisson regression analysis showed that the eigenvector centrality has a significant positive influence on the h-index and the weighted degree centrality has a significant negative influence on the h-index. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the small world phenomenon exists in the psychiatric coauthorship network, and finds collaboration patterns and effects on scientific performance. The results suggest that in order to achieve better research performance it would be helpful for scholars to work with other well-performing scholars and avoid other scholars who previously worked together.

PURPOSE: Online courses have become common in health sciences education. This learning environment can be designed using different approaches to support student learning. To further develop online environment, it is important to understand how students perceive working and learning online. The aim of this study is to identify aspects influencing students' learning processes and their adaptation to self-directed learning online. METHODS: Thirty-four physiotherapy students with a mean age of 25 years (range, 21 to 34 years) participated. Qualitative content analysis and triangulation was used when investigating the students' self-reflections, written during a five week self-directed, problem-oriented online course. RESULTS: Two categories emerged: 'the influence of the structured framework' and 'communication and interaction with teachers and peers.' The learning processes were influenced by external factors, e.g., a clear structure including a transparent alignment of assignments and assessment. Important challenges to over-come were primarily internal factors, e.g., low self-efficacy, difficulties to plan the work effectively and adapting to a new environment. CONCLUSIONS: The analyses reflected important perspectives targeting areas which enable further course development. The influences of external and internal factors on learning strategies and self-efficacy are important aspects to consider when designing online courses. Factors such as pedagogical design, clarity of purpose, goals, and guidelines were important as well as continuous opportunities for communication and collaboration. Further studies are needed to understand and scaffold the motivational factors among students with low self-efficacy.

A brief emergency planning educational presentation was taught during work hours to a convenience sample of employees of various workplaces in Northern Missouri, USA. Participants were familiarized with details about how an emergency plan is prepared by management and implemented by management-employee crisis management teams - focusing on both employee and management roles. They then applied the presentation information to assess their own organization's emergency preparedness level. Participants possessed significantly (p < 0.05) higher perceptions of their organization's level of emergency preparedness than non-participants. It is recommended that an assessment of organizational preparedness level supplement emergency planning educational presentations in order to immediately apply the material covered and encourage employees to become more involved in their organization's emergency planning and response. Educational strategies that involve management-employee collaboration in activities tailored to each workplace's operations and risk level for emergencies should be implemented.

We propose the various Telemedicine applications on the DooRae (Distributed Object Oriented Multimedia Application Crafting Environment for Collaboration) framework(or platform). DooRae-Telemedicine supports the application development of the collaborative multimedia environment connected with the network(LAN, MAN, WAN) in the CBM(Computer based Multimedia) based. Also, it is not restrict on space between a doctor(s) and a patient(s) into cyberspace made by network. The kinds of Telemedicine in this paper have different distinction, and the development of these application system is possible on DooRae environment. DooRae-Telemedicine has a interaction, various communication type, a question and an answer, multi-session, application sharing and whiteboard which resembles chalkboard. Also, various supplementary functions such as video conference and voice conference for DooRae-telemedicine are what makes face-to-face medicine effective. Also it supports real or non-real type. The operating system developed on windows 95 and windows NT This research has been done creating multimedia-based telemedicine system for home PCs in network environment. Most of telemedicine used hardware and exclusive line of high cost as CATV broadcasting technique. But DooRae-telemedicine will contribute to change the Home-PC for better use of collaborations among doctor and patients through various modes o interactions in cyberspace.
