研究室紹介
Professor Yunseon Choi's research lab focuses on palliative and end-of-life care, particularly advancing hospice and palliative care integration in clinical practice and public health systems. The lab investigates patient and family caregiver (FC) quality of life, with an emphasis on emotional distress, coping mechanisms, and psychosocial factors. It also explores public awareness and health system engagement related to advance care planning and chronic disease management, especially in the context of metabolic syndrome and adolescent mental health. The lab combines clinical, epidemiological, and health services research to improve holistic, family-centered care models.

15Emotional distress of FCs was the most important factor determining the overall and negative aspects of FCs' QOL, whereas various environmental factors were associated with positive coping. Appropriate support programs directed at these factors are needed to maintain and improve FCs' QOL.
In the United States, hospice and palliative care are two distinct expressions of the hospice interdisciplinary team approach to end-of-life care, which originated in Great Britain in the 1960s. The hospice movement developed largely as a home-care program and alternative to conventional care. Hospice regulations and reimbursement allowances limit services to patients who are expected to die within 6 months and who forego many common oncologic treatments. On the other hand, palliative care is a
A parallel version of the invaded cluster algorithm is described. Results from large scale (up to 4096 2 and 512 3 ) simulations of the Ising model are reported. No evidence of critical slowing down is found for the three-dimensional Ising model. The magnetic exponent is estimated to be 2.482±0.001(β/ν=0.518±0.001) for the three-dimensional Ising model.
CONTEXT: Advance care planning (ACP) and hospice palliative care (HPC) have potential benefits for individuals and health systems. Public awareness of them might increase their acceptance. OBJECTIVES: To examine public awareness of ACP and HPC and related factors including individuals' experience of health care among Korean population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study based on a nationally representative sample was conducted. Data from participants aged 15 years or older were examined. Socio-dem
연구배경: 대사증후군에서는 심혈관계 질환의 위험이 증가하는데, 이는 염증성 싸이토카인과 혈전생성 요소의 활성화가 원인으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 혈액의 점성 또는 염증상태를 반영하는 적혈구 수•용적률, 혈색소 농도, 백혈구수 및 분획들과 대사증후군과의 관계를 살펴보고자 한다. 방법: 일개 대학병원의 건강검진 수진자 399명 중 과거력과 흡연력에 대한 설문조사를 시행한 313명 중에서 전혈구 계산수치가 정상 참고범위에 포함되는 299명(남자 137명, 여자 162명)을 대상으로 하여 대사증후군과 혈액학적 지표들과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 결과: 연령, 성별, 흡연상태를 보정한 후 대사증후군 환자에서 적혈구수 및 총백혈구수가 많았으며(P<0.05), 특히 남성 대사증후군 환자에서 총백혈구수, 중성구수, 임파구수가 많았다(P<0.05). 대사증후군 구성요소의 개수에 따라 구성요소를 하나도 가지지 않는 군에서 4개 이상 가진 군까지 각 5개의 군으로 나누어서 분석시 남자에서 총
연구배경: 가정은 소아의 발달 과정에 있어 가장 중요한 영향을 주는 환경이고 우울과 불안은 소아 및 청소년기에 경험할 수 있는 가장 흔한 정신 문제이다. 이에 소아를 대상으로 가족기능 및 가정의 환경적 특성과 우울, 불안 성향과의 관계에 대해 알아봄으로써 일차의료에서의 소아 진료에 있어 가족중심의 접근방법에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방법: 2003년 5월 서울 시내 2개 초등학교 4학년 학생 193명을 대상으로 가족기능지수(Family APGAR), 소아우울척도(Children's Depression Inventory), 소아불안척도(Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale)를 이용해 자기기입식으로 가족기능 및 우울, 불안 성향에 대해 조사하였고 이와 함께 가정환경 특성, 즉 가족구조, 부모의 종교 유무와 학력, 가계 월소득의 조사를 시행하였다. 결과: 가족기능지수의 세 군 간(중증 가족기능장애, 중등도 가족기능장애, 건강한 기능군) 가정환경 특성
Introduction Patients with terminal cancer often experience various oral problems. Whether oral health status is associated with the survival of terminally ill cancer patients receiving palliative care remains unclear. Methods We analyzed the data of 59 Korean patients with terminal cancer receiving palliative care, including their oral health status, using a modified Korean version of the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT). Patients were categorized into “Good,” “Moderate,” or “Poor” groups bas
Hospice is defined by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO, USA) and WHO, as a program of care that provides comprehensive medical, nursing and support services to dying patients and their family. Despite its broad definition, however, hospice care in Korea has been focused mostly on terminal cancer patients. Thus hospice eligibility for patients with advanced cancer is relatively easier to predict than those with other fatal chronic illnesses such as heart, lung, renal o
