Background: Like many other countries, falls and related injuries in older adults are great concerns in South Korea. In particular, falls are common in medical institutions, often causing the increase of the length of hospitalization. Objects: The purpose of this review was to help understand and address falls in hospitalized individuals in South Korea. Methods: The review was conducted on literature published in Korean from 2010 to 2022, searched in the Korea Citation Index and PubMed. Keywords used for the search were as follows: falls, fall risk, fall risk assessment, hospital, inpatient, intervention, Korea, and prevention. Results: A total of 54 articles were found and reviewed. The most common place of fall accidents was the inpatient room, where there were many cases of falls while walking. Loss of balance was the most common cause of falls, and many falls occurred in patients admitted to the internal medicine. Furthermore, a risk of falling increased with the type of medications taken. In terms of tools to assess patients’ fall risk, the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) was commonly used. Patient-specific fall prevention activities were common to address falls, and they decreased the frequency of falls and the fear of falling. Factors influencing the effectiveness of the fall prevention activities included attitudes toward falls, education, environmental factors, patient safety culture, and self-efficacy in preventing falls. Conclusion: Our results should help understand and address falls and injuries in medical institutions.

파이로 처리 방사성 폐기물 처분 시스템 A-KRS에 대한 결정론적, 확률론적 안전성 평가가 가능하도록 골드심 프로그램을 개발하였다. 처분장에서 핵종이 유출되어 다양한 처분 시스템 내 매질을 이동하는 것 에 관련된 주요 시나리오를 도출하기 위하여 처분 시스템을 구성하는 각 요소 별로, 그리고 처분 시스템 내 핵종의 이동에 관여하는 FEP을 인지 선별하여 수학적 모델을 개발하고 이를 골드심 템플릿 프로그램 으로 개발하였다. 이 프로그램을 이용하여 폐쇄후 방사선적 안전성 평가를 결정론적으로 수행하여 5개의 정상 및 비정상 시나리오를 평가하여 그 결과를 상호 비교하였다.
