Social welfare facilities are used by a wide range of local residents, including vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. During emergencies like fires, confusion can arise as these individuals try to evacuate. Evacuation simulation results have shown that utilizing evacuation systems based on specific evacuation scenarios can significantly decrease the time required for evacuation compared to general evacuation procedures. By anticipating potential fires based on changes in social and facility environments, appropriate evacuation scenarios can be developed and applied to evacuation systems, thus contributing to the safety and security of individuals during emergencies. In conclusion, for social welfare facilities that serve a large number of people, it is necessary to expand the focus on performance-based design depending on the size of the facility, and to continuously develop and train for appropriate evacuation scenarios that align with changing facility environments.

The aim of this study is to evaluate satisfaction with critical pathway (CP) in nursing gastric cancer patients. From January to June 2008, non critical pathway group (NCPG, n=28) is used by general doctor’s order. However, from July to December 2008, critical pathway group (CPG, n=25) received the CP schedule applied by the PA on the pre operative day. The collected data were analyzed by chi-square, and student t-test using the SPSS/Win 12.0 program. Patient’s satisfaction increased with understanding of disease and treatment process, explanation of related study and treatment, education regarding activity status, and degree of confidence in doctor. Patient satisfaction was higher in the CPG than in the NCPG.
