Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to the wellbeing of the family caregivers of the elderly with a stroke.
Methods
The subjects of this study were 199 elderly treated in four oriental hospitals in Korea, and their primary family caregivers. The data was collected by interviewsand a self reported questionnaire, during the period from October, 2003 to April, 2004.
Results
The results of this study were as follows. The mean score of wellbeing of family caregivers was 60.6412.63. The factors related to wellbeing of family caregivers were sex, age, education, depression, illness severity, ADL, paralysis, and speech disability in elderly characteristics. Among family caregivers characteristics, education, relation, and burden were significantly related. In situational variables, family income and the previous relationship between the elderly and family caregivers were related to wellbeing. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of wellbeing was the burden of family caregivers. A combination of the depression of elderly and age of family caregivers accounted for 50.3% of the variance of wellbeing.
Conclusions
On developing the nursing intervention for improving wellbeing of family caregivers, many factors should be considered, especially caregiver burden, and elderly depression.

Purpose
This study was performed to explore the effect of senior simulation on nurses' attitudes toward the elderly.
Method
Twenty-seven nurses working in various settings such as acute hospitals, community health centers, geriatric hospitals, and clinics were recruited. Among them, 25 subjects completed the whole experimental protocol. Aging Semantic Differential Scaling was utilized to evaluate attitudes toward the elderly and ‘ Suit for Experiencing Being Aged’ from the Sakamoto Model was provided for the experiment. Before and after the experiment subjects filled out questionnaires.
Result
Attitude score before experiment was 4.36, which indicates neutral attitude. Objective attitude scores were not different significantly after experiment. However subjective statements indicated attitude changes in a positive way.
Conclusion
Senior simulation can affect nurses' attitude toward elderly in subjective way. That is, nurses became more empathetic and understanding to elderly's physical limitations and felt more initiative nursing approach were needed in caring elderly.

Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to discuss and address the state of the knowledge development and the nature of knowledge regarding fatigue.
METHOD: This study analyzed the 63 fatigue related articles published from 1990 to 2001. The analysis schema was 'Alternative linkages among philosophy, theory, and method for nursing science' (Kim, 1993).
RESULT: The 63 articles had been studied only within 5 types among all 96 types of linkages. Most of the articles (59 among 63 articles) had been studied within scientific realism and deductive logic. Fifty-three articles among 59 articles were the type of explanatory and predictive theory, grasping reality by the etic method on the controlled setting.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests more development of knowledge regarding fatigue with various logics, especially with discovery logic such as inductive and retroductive or methods in multiple designs on various subjects under various philosophy needed for nursing practice.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of coping mechanisms on
uncertainty and depression.
The subjects were 71 cancer patients selected from Junbook National University
Hospital, and the data collection period was from June 21 to October 19 of 2000.
Uncertainty was measured by using Mishel's Uncertainty Scale, problem- focused
coping, and emotional-focused coping. The data was collected by a questionnaire
developed by Lee (1984), and then depression measured by using Beck's depression
scale.
Data was analyzed with SPSS/WIN 7.5 program by Pearson Correlation Coefficients, and
Path analysis.
The results were as follows :
1. The mean uncertainty score was 59.17, the mean problem-focused coping score was 48.78, the mean
emotional-focused coping score was 42.52.
2. The mean depression score was 15.77.
3. Uncertainty in illness was significantly related to depression (p=0.003) and emotional-focused coping (p=0.028), but
uncertainty was not associated with coping mechanisms.
4. When analyzed multiple regression between uncertainty, problem-focused coping, emotional- focused coping, and
depression, more specifically emotional-focused coping showed a stronger association with depression than
problem-focused coping.
5. Depression was highly correlated with economic status (p=0.015), educational background (p=0.005), duration of
disease (p=0.045).
6. Problem-focused coping and emotional-focused coping appeared to function as moderators instead mediators on the
relation between uncertainty and depression. In addition, as a whole, uncertainty showed a significant moderating
effect on depression, while problem-focused coping did on depression. Finally, limitation of present findings were
discussed and implications for future studies are suggested.
