										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
This study was conducted to examine and compare satisfaction with Korean health care services for Americans, Chinese and Russians who resided in Korea.Methods A questionnaire was distributed to 252 participants (81 Americans, 89 Chinese, 82 Russians). Three focus group interviews were subsequently conducted in order to obtain a greater understanding of participants' experience and perspectives.Results The average satisfaction score was 3.09, with Americans and Russians showing significantly higher scores than Chinese. Overall, participants reported higher satisfaction in 'Facility', 'Quality of care' and 'Nursing services' as opposed to 'Information/education'. 'Care with cultural respect' as well as communication related services. Data from the focus group interviews were categorized into 12 sub-categories, 7 categories and 2 themes. The two themes were common experience and contrasting experience. Common experience included 4 categories, 'Quality of care', 'Hospital facility and health care system', 'Language barrier' and 'Information and education'. Contrasting experience included 3 categories, 'Medical cost', 'Health care personnel' and 'Accessibility'.Conclusion Results of this study provide basic knowledge on foreign residents' satisfaction and experience with Korean health care services. Further research is needed with foreigners from different cultural backgrounds. Administrative and educational efforts are required to improve communication skills and cultural competency.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
This study was done to test structural equation modeling of health-related quality of life (QOL) of men with obstructive sleep apnea in order to identify parameters affecting QOL and provide guidelines for interventions and strategies to improve QOL in these patients.Methods Model construction was based on 'The conceptual model of patient outcome in health-related QOL' by Wilson and Cleary, using the variables; age, physiological factors, social support, cognitive appraisal, symptoms and QOL. Participants were 201 adult male patients recruited at a tertiary university hospital in Seoul. Data were collected via questionnaires, polysomnography, and clinical records.Results Age and symptoms directly influenced QOL. Social support and cognitive appraisal about sleep did not have a direct influence on QOL, but indirectly affected it via symptoms. QOL was lower in patients who were younger and had more severe symptoms. Symptoms were more severe for patients with lower social support and more dysfunctional cognitive appraisal. When social support was lower, cognitive appraisal was more dysfunctional.Conclusion These results suggest it is necessary to not only manage symptoms, but also apply interventions to increase social support and cognitive appraisal about sleep in order to increase QOL in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
This study done to identify the experiences of families caring for patients with terminal cancer. The question was, "What is the caregiving experience of a family who has a member with terminal cancer?"Methods Grounded Theory was applied and in-depth interviews were done with 11 family members. Interviews were recorded with the interviewees' consent and were transcribed and analyzed. Participants' relationships to patients were 6 spouses, 4 daughters, and 1 mother. The ages of the participants were between 32 and 62, with an average of 47.5.Results The study showed "enduring with bonds" as the main category and the main factor affecting this category was the "patients' diagnosis of terminal cancer." The caregiving experience was divided into four stages: shock, confusion, struggle, and acceptance. Mediating factors were relationship with the patient, intimacy with the patient, social support, communication, and trust. Conclusively, participants underwent internal maturity, and changes occurred in family and social and personal life.Conclusion The families took care of the patients with responsibility and love. The study results should help with the understanding of a family with a member with terminal cancer and should be used to develop nursing, mediating, and consulting programs for these caregivers.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Korea. The specific aim was to identify major problems that people with CHB face and strategies that they are dealing with.Methods A grounded theory method was utilized. The data were collected by individual in-depth interviews from 12 CHB patients from one of the major hospitals in Korea.Results After constant comparative analysis, a core category emerged as “illness management with self-reliance and will.” Seven major strategies that were identified in dealing with the illness were maintaining receptive and positive attitudes; restraining excessive work and greed; searching for information; controlling illness information; adhering to practices for not spreading the viral disease; abstaining from alcohol and smoking and maintaining healthy eating habits; nd using alternative therapies. The outcomes that result from employing these strategies were identified as burden, depression and helplessness, stress for maintaining compliance, and dispirited interpersonal relationships.Conclusion The results of this study suggest that most people with CHB in Korea have problems in psychosocial area. Thus health professionals need to provide not only informational support but also emotional one to improve quality of life of the people with CHB.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  This study was aimed at exploring the current status of graduate programs for an advanced practice nurse(APN) to recommend future directions of APN education.Methods A total of 142 students enrolled in seven APN specialty programs, 67 professors who were involved in APN education, and nine nurse administrators participated in the study. Data was collected by questionnaires and focus group interviews.Results The current definition of APN was found not to be specific enough to represent expected roles of APN in regards to knowledge, attitudes, roles, and skills. Standard curricula employed regardless of the area of APN specialty, lack of qualified clinical practice settings, as well as prepared instructors were found to be problematic.Conclusion The following needs to be addressed: 1. redefining of APN roles, 2. tailoring specialty areas of APN, 3. consolidating educational programs, and 4. ensuring APN role models and faculty. Suggesting a CNS role in Korean APN, areas of APN should be rearranged toclarify their roles and educational programs need to be further developed to meet the expectations and quality of APNs. It is necessary to ensure APN's employment in the health care system by laws and policies to perform advanced nursing roles.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor disabilities and increasing dependence on others for daily life activities with consequent impact on patients' and caregivers' quality of life. The aim of this study was to elucidate the burden on primary caregivers of patients with PD, and identify related factors.Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study. Seventy-six primary caregivers of PD patients in a neurology outpatient clinic, Seoul, Korea completed structured questionnaires, of which 68 were analyzed. The structured self-report questionnaire included (1) demographic information on the caregivers, (2) information regarding the disease characteristics of the patients, and (3) the subjective and objective caregiver burdens as assessed on Montgomery, Gonyea, & Hooyman's scale.Results The mean age of the caregivers was 54.56 years, and spouses represented the largest proportion(47.0%). Caregivers of PD patients experienced high levels of burden (mean scores on the subjective and objective burdens were 45.22 and 34.90, respectively), which were comparable to the caregiver burdens in stroke, and higher than the caregiver burdens in general chronic disease. Older caregivers and spousal caregivers experienced significantly higher burdens (p=.004 and p=.019, respectively). A greater motor disability and higher modified Hoehn and Yahr grade were related to higher caregiver burden (p=.001 and p=.018, respectively).Conclusion Caring for PD patients is associated with a high level of caregiver burden. Therefore, healthcare professionals should identify the burden of caregivers who look after PD patients and develop comprehensive management strategies both for patients and their caregivers.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  The purpose of this survey was to investigate clinical nurses' understanding of delirium and their educational need of delirious patient care.Method A survey questionnaire regarding nurses' general perception and understanding of delirium, experience with delirious patients and educational need was developed and conducted with 179 clinical nurses in a university hospital in Seoul. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.Results Nurses thought that delirium was one of the most important nursing problems and they considered it to be more treatable than to be preventable. However, the majority of nurses were not confident in caring for delirious patients. Nurses reported that delirium happened most often after surgery, and that possible contributing factors could be changes in physical environment and anxiety/stress, as well as medication and long-term isolation. Thirteen nursing interventions were identified but half of the nurses utilized only one or two of the thirteen. The most frequently used intervention was reorienting the patient followed by medication and emotional support, presenting family, and close observation. 99.5% of nurses addressed the importance of professional education on delirium care, especially in the area of intervention and management.Conclusion The results support the strong need for development of a multi-component educational program on delirium care.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  This study was done to describe the research trend of Complementary and Alternative Medicine(CAM) in Korea and internationally.Method A Systematic review of CAM related literature published from 2000 to 2005 was done. A comprehensive search by using 34 CAM modalities as search terms to identify all articles dealing with CAM was undertaken from 4 databases: PubMed, RICHIS, KoreaMed, and Riss4U. A Total of 588 abstracts and 223 original articles were reviewed by two independent reviewers using systematic analysis guidelines. Data regarding the types of study design, characteristics of subjects and researchers, and classification of CAM modalities was recorded. The outcome measures of CAM were identified.Results CAM research has been rapidly increasing worldwide in the last decade. In Korea, nursing(53.5%) followed by medicine(42.7%) occupied the majority of CAM research in comparison to medicine(42.9%) and disciplines in CAM(25.0%), like homeopathy, internationally. Prevailing research designs in Korea were experimental and quasi-experimental, however, randomized clinical trials were found. Internationally, survey research was dominant, with the exception of randomized clinical trials that were mostly an experimental design.Conclusion The findings suggest that a robust research design in CAM research is needed to accumulate strong scientific evidence and to adopt nursing interventions from CAM modalities.

Purpose
  The purpose of this study was to explore Korean mothers' experiences of caregiving for their adult children with schizophrenia.Method A iterative descriptive qualitative research design was used to understand and explain the caregiving experience from the perspective of mothers. The data were collected by individual in-depth interviews and one focus group interview from 11 mothers. The ages of the participants ranged from 50 to 60 years old and the ages of their sick children ranged from late 20s to early 40s.Results Three major themes were identified from qualitative thematic analysis: (a) “emotional debris from the disease,” (b) “the disease that makes mothers dumb” (c) “space of rational reason.”Conclusions This study would provide health care professionals insights in establishing intervention for mothers by deeply understanding the process of recognition and acceptance of their children with schizophrenia.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  This study was to determine the effects of abdominal breathing training using biofeedback on stress, immune response, and quality of life.Methods The study design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design. Twenty-five breast cancer patients who had completed adjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled. The experimental group(n=12) was provided with abdominal breathing training using biofeedback once a week for 4 weeks. State anxiety, cancer physical symptoms, serum cortisol, T cell subsets(T3, T4, T8), NK cell and quality of life were measured both before and after the intervention.Results Though state anxiety, cancer physical symptoms, and serum cortisol were reduced after 4 weeks of abdominal breathing training using biofeedback, there was no statistical significance. It showed, however, improvement in quality of life (p=.02), and T3(p=.04).Conclusion Abdominal breathing training using biofeedback improves quality of life in breast cancer patients after a mastectomy. However, the mechanism of this beneficial effect and stress response requires further investigation with special consideration in subject selection and frequency of measurement. Nurses should consider this strategy as a standard nursing intervention for people living with cancer.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
  The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training using biofeedback and constraint-induced movement on the upper extremity function of hemiplegic patients.Method A non-equivalent pretest-posttest design was used. Study subjects were a conveniently selected group of 40 hemiplegic patients(20 experimental subjects, 20 control subjects) who have been enrolled in two community health centers. After biofeedback training the subjects of experimental group were given constraint-induced movement, involving restraint of unaffected U/E in a sling for about 6 hours in a day over a period of two weeks, while at the same time intensively training the affected U/E. Outcomes were evaluated on the basis of the U/E motor ability(hand function, grip power, pinch power, U/E ROMs), and motor activity(amount, quality).Result 1. After 2 weeks of treatment, the motor abilities of affected U/E(hand function, grip power, pinch power, ROMs of wrist flexion, elbow flexion and shoulder flexion/extension) were significantly higher in subjects who participated in exercise training than in subjects in the control group with no decrement at 4-week follow-up. However, there was no significant difference in wrist extension between experimental or control group. 2. After 2 weeks of treatment, the amount of use and the quality of motor activity of affected U/E were significantly higher in subjects who participated in exercise training than in subjects in the control group with no decrement at 4-week follow-up.Conclusion The above results state that exercise training using biofeedback and constraint-induced movement could be an effective intervention for improving U/E function of chronic hemiplegic patients. Long-term studies are needed to determine the lasting effects of constraint-induced movement.

										 Abstract  PDF
Purpose
This study was aimed to investigate the health related quality of life and related factors of organ transplant recipients.Method The participants were 188 people who had liver(86), kidney(81), or heart(24) transplanted. Data on the demographic characteristics, transplantation-related characteristics, symptom frequency or discomfort measured by Transplant Symptom Frequency and Symptom Distress Scale by Lough et al(1987), and health related quality of life measured by SF-36(version 2) were collected.Result Overall health related quality of life score was 492.1 for 100scoring and, 344.9 for norm based. Physical functioning showed the highest quality of life score (77.5) and vitality showed the lowest(51.1). The kidney transplanted showed the highest quality of life (504.4) and the heart transplanted showed the lowest(426.7) Quality of life was related with occupation(p=.016) and symtom discomfort(p<.0001).Conclusion The health related quality of life of transplated patients was lower than the norm of American. Further studies need to be done to identify the norm of Korean and to investigate the effect of releving symptom discomfort on the increasing the health related quality of life.

			In Ja Kim, Keum Soon Kim, Moon Ja Suh, Nam Ok Cho			
				Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2002;32(5):665-672.   Published online March 29, 2017			
									DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2002.32.5.665
							
							 
				
										
										 Abstract  PDF
 PURPOSE: It was identified that how many homebound bedridden elderlies and their primary caregivers were depressed, and which factors affected the bedridden elderly's depression.
 METHOD: The subjects were 191 homebound bedridden elderlies and their primary caregivers. The affecting factors were classified into two categories: bedridden elderly and their primary caregiver related factors. Then bedridden elderly's factors were classified demographic and disease-related factors again. The stepwise regression was used to identify significant factors.
 RESULT: The prevalence of bedridden elderly's and caregiver's depression was 77.8% and 67.0%, respectively. And the model explained 33.3% of variance of bedridden elderly's depression. Cognitively-impaired female elderlies who had depressed caregivers were found to be more depressed. And caregivers who perceived burden were identified to be more depressed.
 CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the health professionals need to identify bedridden elderlies and caregivers at risk of depression. Especially elderlies who is in poor cognition, those who are female, and those whose caregivers were depressed might be considered carefully in all counseling or follow-up. Also the primary caregivers must be helped to access already available formal and informal support.

										 Abstract  PDF
PURPOSE: This study aims to identify the ADL and IADL of bed-ridden elderly. Also it 
is used to show fuctional status, and to investigate the content and the level of nursing 
services provided. METHOD: The subjects were 191 elderly who received visiting nurse 
service through public health centers in the Seoul Metopolitan and Chungnam Province. 
Data collection was conducted by public health center nurses during four months in 
2000. Result: As for daily living activities, 100% of subjects had at least one difficulty 
in ADL and IADL. Among them, only 0.5% had moderate disabilities and 99.5% had 
severe disabilities by HFS, 27.9% were in a semi bed-ridden state and 72.1% were 
completely bed-ridden by JABC.
 The major service provided was a visiting nurse service which was preferable to the 
social welfare service. In the visiting nurse service, there was no significant difference 
according to the elderlys' functional status. 
In addition there was no standadization about the qualification of the visiting nurse, and 
single entry point for the nursing service. CONCLUSION: The researchers urgently suggest 
that a community based comprehensive service model has to be developed to respond to 
the needs of the elderly in Korea.

										 Abstract  PDF
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of biofeedback 
exercise training on muscle activity and activities of daily livings (ADL) in hemiplegic 
patients. An experimental group consisting of 17 people, was given biofeedback exercise 
training for 30- 60 minutes per week for 5 weeks, while a control group consisting of 
18 people, was given normal exercise with quasi-experimental design. 
 RESULT: The results of the study show that biofeedback exercise is effective for 
improving muscle activity in hemiplegic patients, especially in the hemiplegic limbs. 
However, this study found no significant differences in ADL and IADL between the 
experimental and the control groups. It implies that ADL and IADL may not be 
improved for a short period of time, such as 5 weeks, for people with more than five 
years of hemiplegia. The study suggests that the effect of biofeedback exercise on ADL 
and IADL should be determined in hemiplegic patients in acute stage.

										 Abstract  PDF
A phenomenological study was conducted to investigate the experiences of mothers pregnant via in vitro fertilization (IVF). Sample of nine mothers participated. Ten theme clusters emerged when the formulated meanings were organized into categories. During the infertility period, the participants were subject to self- depreciation, envy, anxiety, and depression. It changed their priorities in life from a job-oriented life to one where having a baby was the most important thing. After trying numerous alternative therapies, IVF became their last hope in having a baby. Since the success rate for IVF is low (only 20-30%), the participants for the treatment were overwhelmed with uncertainty, and it led to further anxiety, depression and despair. Success of pregnancy gave them extreme satisfaction, but they became very cautious in their day-to-day life because of their fear of abortion and early delivery. Some were even worried about the side effect of IVF during the pregnancy. Finally, the delivery of the baby gave them relief from the obligation of having a baby. Women did not have any difficulties in rearing a "test tube baby" except in the case of twins. Most women had no ethical difficulty in having a baby by IVF. However they did not wish this information to be revealed to other people. They again turned to IVF to have a son(s) when the resultory child(s) was a daughter(s). This is because of the strong preference for sons in Korean society.

										 Abstract  PDF
The purpose of this research was to uncover the expertise of ICU nursing in Korea, and to describe 
nurses' practice based on the degree of skill acquisition. A total of 18 ICU nurses participated in the 
study. The data was collected through individual in-depth interviews and it was managed using the 
NUDIST 4.0 software program. 
The data was analyzed using interpretive phenomenology suggested by Benner. Four properties of 
expertise of ICU nursing were identified. These are 1) concern and love toward patients; 2) knowledge; 3) 
skill, and 4) abilities in interpersonal relationships. And the characterisitcs of four levels of skill 
acquisition, that is advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert, were described with exemplars. 
The results of this study might help nurse researchers clarify and elaborate on the concept of expertise 
in ICU nursing, and enable them to understand how the process of skill acquisition occurs in the ICU 
setting. They might also help nurse managers establish educational goals for ICU nursing for student or 
novice nurses.

										 Abstract  PDF
The purpose of this study was to describe the perceived burden of the stroke patient's caregiver and 
related factors to analyze relationships between perceived burden and social supports. A convenient sample 
of 225 caregivers who take care for a stroke patient at home participated in this study. Caregiver's 
perceived burden was measured by the objective and subjective burden scale developed by Montgomery 
(1985). 
Related factors of burden were studied in terms of the patient's instrumental activties of daily living, cognitive 
function, caregiver's demographic variables and caregiver's illness intrusiveness. 
The results were as follows: (1) The mean of objective burden score was 4.5, and subjective burden score 
was 3.1. These scores show that caregivers perceive moderate level of burden. (2) Caregivers' objective 
burden was significantly related to caregivers's illness intrusiveness (r=.62), patient's IADL (r=-.33), and 
patient's cognitive function (r=-.15). The subjective burden was related to the caregiver's illness 
intrusiveness (r=.29), the patient's IADL (r=.24), and the caregiver's age(r=.23). (3) The percentage of 
stroke caregivers who perceived physical support was 49.1%. The percentage of those who perceived emotional 
support was 61.0%, and those who perceived financial support totaled 37.6%. (4) Caregivers who received 
any type of social supports perceived lower subjective burden, and caregivers who received physical or 
psychological support perceived lower objective burden. These results emphasized the necessity of a 
rehabilitation programs for stroke patients and support program for family caregivers.

										 Abstract  PDFThis study is based on grounded theory methodology by Strauss & Corbin(1998). Ten hospitalized subjects were interviewed for data collection. In the process of data analysis, 'acceptance' is found to be the causal condition, while 'health professionals' skillfulness', 'ward environment', 'history of hospitalization', and 'general conditions' were identified as context, 'felling of relief' as the core phenomenon, 'self-efficacy', 'support of others', and 'life style' as the intermediate situation, 'passive reaction', 'alternative reaction' and 'active reaction' as the strategy and 'stabilization', 'satisfaction', 'hope' and 'carrying out' as consequences. 'Feeling of relief' is found to go through the three stages of recognition-generation-maintenance after the five different patterns. 1) In case the health professionals are skillful, the ward environment is favorable, the general conditions of the patients improved and as a result the feeling of relief is strong, during the first hospitalization, the self-efficacy of the subjects tends to be strong. They proceed toward the goal set for themselves with a renewed hope and active or alternative reaction toward the feeling of relief. 2) The subjects tend to proceed toward the goal set for themselves with a renewed hope and active and alternative reaction toward the feeling of relief in case health professionals are skillful, the ward environment is favorable the general conditions of the subjects improved, self-efficacy is strong, and lifestyle is autonomous, during the second hospitalization even though support of others is merely superficial. 3) The subjects tend to stabilize, and satisfy themselves with the given situation with passive and alternative reaction to the feeling of relief in case health professionals are skillful and the ward environment is favorable but the general conditions worsened and accordingly the feeling of relief, is weak and life style is dependent during the second hospitalization although the subjects' self-efficacy is strong and support of others is specific. 4) The subjects tend to stabilize and satisfy themselves with the given situation with passive and alternative reaction to the feeling of relief in case health professionals are unskillful the ward environment is unfavorable, the general conditions improved, support of others is specific but life style is dependent and self-efficacy is weak during the first hospitalization. 5) The subjects tend to stabilize and satisfy themselves with the given situation in case health professionals are unskillful the ward environment is unfavorable but the general conditions improved support of others is specific and as a result self-efficacy is strong but life style is dependent.

										 Abstract  PDFTHE NECESSITY AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Recently the number of patients with chronic diseases and the aged patients is increasing steadily. Furthermore, due to the expansion of health insurance system, the number of patients hospitalized in the general hospital is increasing at a surprising speed. However, hospitals urge the early discharge of the patients for the efficiencies of hospital administration, and therefore, the number of patients who must be taken care of in their home is also increasing. Homecare nursing is one of the health care service for the patients at home who require continual attention and care, and now increasing attentions are given to it as one of the professional nursing fields. However, it was almost impossible to find a study on the actual experiences of the homecare nurses written by their own language in Korea, that it also posed a great difficulty in understanding their diverse experience. Considering these situation, this study will help understanding of them, and provide the fundamental data on their experiences for making policies to develop homecare nursing.METHODS
 OF RESEARCH: Phenomenological research method was employed to analyze the lived experiences of homecare nurses fundamentally. 
DATA COLLECTION: Data were collected from August 1998 to December 1998 from ten homecare nurses who worked for patients under the homecare nursing setting as model cases designated by Seoul Nurses Association and who agreed to the purpose of this study after listening to and understanding the explanation completely. The in-depth interview was carried at the time which was convenient both for the researcher and participants for one or two hours, and recovered with the approval participants. The first interview covered diverse and broad areas like the situation of homecare nursing, and their feelings and thoughts over it, and in the second and third interviews, more specific questions are asked.
DATA ANALYSIS: For the phenomenological analysis, contents analysis was employed. The data collected from the participants were analyzed into the following procedures according to Van Manen 's phenomenological analysis. 
1) Reserve the preconception of the researcher by restricting it inside parenthesis. 
2) Make a thorough observation of the lived experiences by insight process. 
3) Analyze the contents (Find out the repetitive factors) 
4) Interpret the essence found. 
5) State the meaning of the interpretation.
 RESULTS
 AND DISCUSSION: 
1. Fear and expectation for the first visit. (unfamiliarity, awkwardness, anxiety, shivering) 
2. Mingle with the family (feeling friendly with the family, becoming like a family member) 
3. Being proud of her own know-how (learning the know-how, organizing alternatives, building up 
confidence) 
4. Pity for the poor. (criticizing the current government, feeling ashamed, feeling anger) 
5. Difficulty of constructing cooperative system with physicians (strenuousness, frustration) 
6. Helplessness due to the lack of support system (difficulty to get supplies, 
annoyance, embarrassment by institutional restraints) 
7. Anxiousness for heavy traffic and parking (annoyance, hastiness) 
8. Ethical conflicts (pity for the patients and family, skepticism about lengthening life maintenance) 
9. Burden for the possible accident (pressure, anxiety, conflict, physical exhaustion) 
10. Establishment of identity as a professional (fulfillment, worth, joy) 
11. Being distressed at other's ignorance

										 Abstract  PDFThe purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of self-management relaxation training through biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation methods. The effectiveness of the experimental methods was tested by measuring the degree of symptoms of stress(SOS), the McNair's profile of Mood STates(POMS), the levels of ephinephrine, norepinephrine, pulse rate, blood pressure and natural killer cells. The subjects of this study were sixty six nursing students divided into four groups two groups were the biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation groups, the other two groups served as control groups. One was a group of sophomores with no experience at all, the other a junior group without self-management or relaxation training. This study was condicted for eight weeks of clinical practice from April, 26th 1998 to June, 20th 1998. Biofeedback training was done with software developed by J&J company(1-410 form for abdominal respiration training). Progressive muscle relaxation training was done with an audiotape recorded according to Jacobson's Theory. The data were analyzed with frequencies, means, and analysis of cobariance using the SPSS program and the significance level of statistics was 5%. The results of the study are : 1) The importance of clinical practice stress reduction is shown in that the level of symptoms of stress in the experimental groups in clinical practice was higher than in the group receiving only a lecture. 2) The relaxation training methods of biofeeback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in reducing the symptoms of stress under the clinical practice stress conditions. 3) The effectiveness of the biofeedback training relaxation method to reduce symptoms of stress was higher than that of progressive muscle relaxation. 4) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in reducing stressful mood states. 5) The relaxation training methods of bioffedback and progressive muscle relaxation were not effective in reducing epinephrine and norepinephrine levels. 6) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in increasing the number of natural killer cells. 7) The relaxation training methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation were effective in decreasing high systolic and diastolic values of blood pressure and high pulse rates. In summary, the relaxation methods of biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation in reducing clinical practice stress were effective in lowering the level of symptoms of stress and the profile of stressful mood states. They were also effective in lowering high blood pressure and pulse rates. The relaxation methods were effective in increasing the number of natural killer cells as part of the immune function. However, relaxation methods were not effective symptoms of stress was more effective than the progressive muscle relaxation method.

										 Abstract  PDF
 The study investigated the effects of nursing information given verbally and a booklet on the knowledge, physical symptoms, anxiety and daily activities of patients recovering from open heart surgery from just before discharge to six weeks after discharge.
 The convenience sample was of patients who had undergone open heart surgery in Seoul National University Hospital.
 The first 25 patients who agreed to participate in the study became the control group. They did not receive the intentional information but the usual nursing care. The next 28 patients became the experimental group who received a booklet about their post-discharge care which was discussed with them by the researcher before discharge.
 This study used a non equivalent group non-synchronized quasiexperimental design.
 The tool included a 30 items knowledge scale, a 9 item physical symptom scale, Spieberger's state anxiety scale, and a 28 items daily activity scale.
 The instruments were applied before discharge and at two and six weeks after discharge.
 For data analysis, frequency, t-test, Pearson's Correlational Coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were used.
 The results were as follows :
 1. Information given through the booklet was effective in increasing the knowledge of patients recovering from open heart surgery. The experimental group's knowledge was higher at 2 weeks after discharge than prior to discharge(P<0.05).
 2. There was no significant difference in physical symptoms between the two groups at two and six weeks after discharge.
 3. Information given through the booklet was effective in decreasing the State Anxiety two weeks after discharge(P<0.001) but at six weeks after discharge, there was no significant difference in anxiety between the control and the experimental groups.
 4. There was no significant difference in daily activity between the two groups at two and six weeks after discharge.
 5. There was a negative correlation between knowledge at discharge and at 2 weeks and anxiety at 2 weeks after discharge.
 There was a positive correlation between knowledge at discharge and daily activity at 2 weeks after discharge.
 There was a negative correlation between knowledge at 2 weeks and Physical symptom at 6 weeks after discharge.

										 Abstract  PDF
The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to daily activities of post myocardial infarction patients. Data were collected from Aug. 1 to Aug. 31, 1988 through an interview schedule lasting for about 30~60 minutes by the investigators. Tools for this study were a daily activities scale and a subjective physical symptom scale developed by the researchers, and Zung's self rating depression scale. The subjects were 45 men 18 women post myocardial infarction patients who were receiving follow up care at SNU Hospital. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, t-test, ANOVA, the Pearson moment Correlation Coefficient test, and Cronbach's a reliability test. The results were as follows. (1) Reliability of the daily activities scale was 0.91 by Cronbach's a. In the daily activities scale, items about transfer, exercise, and job related activities were most highly rated as meaningful to the post myocardial infarction patients, (2) The average daily activities score of these patients was 3.30 (maximum point; 4) all scores were high except for exercise and job related activities. (3) There was a significant difference in daily activities according to sex ; men had a higher daily activities score than women (T=2.32, P<0.05). (4) There was a significant difference in daily act ivities according to job status. Subjects having a job had a higher daily activities score. (5) The lower the depression score, the higher the daily activities score(lambda= -0.5748, P<0.05). (6) The lower the subjective physical symptoms score, the higher the daily activities score (lambda=-0.6015, P< 0.05).

										 Abstract  PDF
 This study intended to investigate the volume of respiration according to the postoperative time and positions among the upper abdominal surgery patients. Tidal volume and vital capacity were measured in three positions-supine, left lateral and sitting position-at preoperatively, 12 hours postoperatively and 36 hours postoperatively.
 Thirteen male and seven female patients who were admitted an smoking habit were excluded from the study.
 The study was conducted from March 15 to June 30, 1985 in Seoul National University Hospital.
 Tidal volume and vital capacity were measured by Wright spirometer in various positions at preoperatively, 12 hours postoperatively and 36 hours postoperatively.
 The results were as following :
 1) Vital capacity was significantly decreased at 12 hours preoperatively and 36 hours postoperatively than preoperatively. Vital capacity was not significantly different in Various positions, but sitting position revealed better than left lateral and supine position. Tidal volume was not significantly different in each position.
 2) Male patients showed significantly higher than female patients in tidal volume and vital capacity. Vital Capacity was not significantly different by sex in each position, but vital capacity was higher in sitting position than in lateral and supine position.
 3) There was not significantly different in tidal volume and vital capacity according to the type of incision and position, vital capacity was higher in sitting position than in left lateral and supine position.

										 Abstract  PDF
 This study was attempted to investigate the main factors affecting health perception of the patients following cardiac valve replacement surgery.
 Data were collected from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, 1984 through administration of questionnaire developed for this study by the researcher.
 The subject was 95 patients who received follow up care following cardiac valve replacement surgery at S.N.U.H.
 The data were analyzed by T-test, oneway ANOVA, pearson correlation and multiple regression according to dependent variables.
 The results were as follows.
 (1) Average self-health perception of those patients were 4.62, (maximum;7 minimum;1) and they showed on affirmative response for their health condition.
 (2) There was significant difference in health perception according to sex difference. Men had higher health perception than women. (t=2.83, p=0.006)
 (3) There was significant difference in health perception according to occupation. Those who had occupation showed higher health perception those who had no occupation. (t=3.25, p=0.002)
 (4) The longer post-operative period elapsed, the higher health perception was, and there was significant difference in health perception. (gamma=-0.2958, p=0.002)
 (5) The higher age was, the lower health perception was, and there was a significant difference in health perception. (gamma=-0.2485, p=0.008)
 (6) The fewer subjective psychosomatic symptoms were, the higher health perception was, and there was a significant difference in health perception. (gamma=-0.4988, p=0.0000)
 (7) The more active daily activities were, the higher health perception was, and there was a significant difference in health perception. (gamma=0.6359, p=0.0000)
 (8) The main factors predicting health perception are like these.
 Daily activities (42.7%), highest variable.
 Psychosomatic symptoms (7.29%)
 Elapsed period after cardiac valve replacement (1,89%)
 Existence of occupation (1.87%)
 Sex (1.78%)
 Age (0.8%)
