The Meaning of Illness among Korean Americans with Chronic Hepatitis B: Jin-Hyang Yang, Hae-Ok Lee, Myung-Ok Cho; J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(5):662-675. Published online October 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.5.662

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This ethnography was done to explore the meaning of illness in Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B.

Methods

The participants were 6 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 6 general informants who could provide relevant data. Data were collected from iterative fieldwork with ethnographic interviews within Korean communities in two cities in the United States. Data were analyzed using causal chain analysis developed by Wolcott.

Results

The analyses revealed three meanings for the illness: hidden disease, intentionally hidden disease, and inevitably hidden disease. The contexts of meaning of illness included characteristics of the illness, social stigma, structure of health care system and communication patterns and discourse between health care providers and clients.

Conclusion

The meaning of illness was based on folk illness concepts and constructed in the sociocultural context. Folk etiology, pathology and interpretation of one's symptoms were factors influencing illness behavior. These findings could be a cornerstone for culture specific care for Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B.

Analysis of Research Papers Published in the Journal of the Korean Academy of Nursing-Focused on Research Trends, Intervention Studies, and Level of Evidence in the Research: Hyun-Sook Shin, Myung-Sun Hyun, Mi-Ok Ku, Myung-Ok Cho, Sook-Young Kim, Jea-Sim Jeong, Geum-Hee Jeong, Gyeong-Ae Seomoon, Youn-Jung Son; J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(1):139-149. Published online February 28, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.1.139

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study aimed was done to analyze recent trends in nursing research published in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing by focusing on the content of nursing interventions and their level of evidence.

Methods

A total of 209 studies published between 2007 and 2008 were reviewed using analysis criteria developed by the researchers.

Results

The number of quantitative studies was greater than that of qualitative studies. There was a slight increase in the number of qualitative studies and studies including elderly populations, which reflects the recent population trend in Korea. More randomized controlled trials with a low risk of bias were needed to support more evidence-based nursing practice. Concerning the low rate of ethical consideration, stricter application of research ethics needs to be encouraged.

Conclusion

The findings of this study suggest the recent trends in nursing research and the direction of nursing research and review in the Journal.
