| Abstract |
Children’s rehabilitation patients should be provided with appropriate rehabilitation programs in accordance with the developmental stages, apart from adult rehabilitation treatments, and careful consideration should be given to emotional and educational aspects in connection with home and schools. As a result, children’s rehabilitation programs require a carefully planned out system of rehabilitation medical care that provides continuous medical support based on the region in which patients live. However, the current rehabilitation medical system in Korea lacks support and servies are only available in ‘national’ or ‘regional’ level rather than ‘local’ level.
The regional rehabilitation hospitals, which were implemented in 2006 and first opened in 2008 under poor domestic conditions, have high expectations as regional base rehabilitation medical institutions, and within the facility, operating guidelines are set up to include the facilities sector for rehabilitation of children.
However, the specific facility standards given for rehabilitation of children are almost nothing other than the 30-bed standard for each ward. As a result, the six regional rehabilitation hospitals currently in operation have different facilities and functions, and the children who need rehabilitation in the regional area are moving around between hospitals, looking for the facilities they need.
Therefore, this study first summarizes the building facilities and scale standards of children’s rehabilitation facilities used by various institutions related to rehabilitation. In addition, by analyzing the architectural planes of the six regional rehabilitation hospitals and identifying the composition of each room in the children’s rehabilitation departments. The children’s rehabilitation departments of the regional rehabilitation hospitals are for children who need rehabilitation in the area. The purpose is to present architectural data to ensure proper rehabilitation.
In conclusion, this study suggests each rehabilitation facilities to run all 6 types of units in order to provide appropriate services to children’s patients around the region. |
