Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effect of warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat in postoperative colon cancer patients. Methods: A total of 40 participants with colon cancer who underwent colon cancer operation over 2hours were included from C University hospital in Seoul. The number of experimental group and control group is each 20 calculated by G*Power, and they were assigned by using nonequivalent control group no-synchronized design. In the experimental group, a warm scarf was applied to the neck for 120 minutes from entering the recovery room after the colorectal cancer surgery was completed. In the experimental group and the control group, xerostomia and sore throat were measured twice at 60-minute intervals. The degree of xerostomia was measured through the degree of wetness of the absorbent paper in mm, and the degree of sore throat was measured through the NRS (Numeral Rating Scale). Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from August 2018 to September 2020 and were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0 Descriptive statistics, x² test, Fisher's exact test, t-test were used to determine the participant's characteristics. The effect of warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat were separately estimated by Repeated Measures ANOVA. Results: The experimental group showed significant decrease of xerostomia and sore throat as time goes (p<.001). Conclusion: Results indicate that warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat in postoperative colon cancer patients is helpful method for relieving side effect of tracheal intubation.

Allogenic keratinocyte application is widely used for treatment of second degree burns. However, there is no significant body of report on application of allogenic keratinocyte to third degree burns. A geriatric patient visited our burn center showing second to third-degree burn on dorsum of her left hand. Considering the surface area and wound depth, surgery was indicated but her medical condition and age made the surgery high risk for a long operation. Therefore, chemical escharolysis, serial bedside debridement, and cultured allogenic keratinocyte (Kaloderm^®, Tegoscience, Seoul, Korea) application was done. The wound was completely epithelialized after four rounds of Kaloderm^® application. For third-degree burns where definitive surgical reconstruction is precluded due to medical comorbidity of the patient, we investigated the possibility of allogenic keratinocyte treatment which may allow to avoid high-risk anesthesia and surgery.

Unexplained pain and weakness, i.e., without obvious predisposing factors, are often encountered by physiatrists and efforts should be made to determine the cause. A 63-year-old male presented with radiating pain in his right arm and mild weakness of the right hand. An electrodiagnostic examination revealed distal symmetric sensory polyneuropathy in the upper and lower extremities, and denervation potentials in the forearm muscles, which were inconsistent with the cervical spine MRI images and symptoms. A predisposing undiscovered disease was revealed, i.e., squamous cell carcinoma in the lung; brain metastasis affecting the left primary motor cortex was also detected. Therefore, we concluded that the pain and weakness were related to paraneoplastic syndrome and brain metastases of the hand knob. The observed denervation potentials were characterized as trans-synaptic changes in the brain metastasis. This case highlights the importance of unexplainable focal pain and weakness in the increasing prevalence of cancer.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of resilience, family support, and spiritual well-being on posttraumatic growth(PTG) in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: The study collected data from January 20 to July 6, 2023 on 124 lung cancer patients who were admitted to hospital of C university in Seoul and received chemotherapy treatment. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, disease characteristics, resilience, family support, spiritual well-being and PTG. Data were analyzed using t-tests, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score for PTG in lung cancer patients was 55.17, resilience was 72.46, family support was 49.00, and spiritual well-being was 53.50. Significant positive correlations were found for PTG with resilience (r=.62, p<.001), family support (r=.40, p<.001) and spiritual well-being (r=.47, p<.001). Factors contributing to PTG of lung cancer patients were resilience (β=.50, p<.001), spiritual well-being (β=.20, p=.008), and gender (β =.14, p=.043). Conclusion: This study aims to provide basic data for the PTG intervention program by identifying factors affecting the PTG of lung cancer patients. It is necessary to develop new nursing intervention programs to improve PTG for patients with lung cancer based on strategies to enhance resilience and spiritual well-being.

자녀 교육에 대한 관심의 증대로 다양한 미디어를 활용하여 많은 유아 교육용 프로그램이 상용화되어 있다. 그 중 스마트폰의 활용 분야가 넓어지면서 자연스럽게 유아 교육 분야도 스마트폰에 접목이 되고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 동화책을 읽어주는 행위와 90년대 초중반에 유행했던 게임북을 스마트폰에 접목시켜 자녀와 부모가 함께 할 수 있는 유아 교육용 어플리케이션 설계를 제안한다. 본 논문의 어플리케이션은 동화를 보는 중 스토리 중간 중간 간단한 미니게임 및 문제 선택 결과에 따라 본래의 동화 스토리 또는 허구 스토리 동화로 진행되어 다양한 엔딩을 볼 수 있다. 또한 동요듣기, 악기다루기, 율동 배우기, 스트레칭 등 여러 옵션을 제공한다.

전문의약품은 의약품안전사용서비스(DUR)를 이용하여 병원에서 처방받은 약에서 부작용이 나타났을 때 기록하고 다음에 약을 처방받을 때 부작용이 나타난 약과 비슷한 계열의 약은 처방받지 않는다. 하지만 일반의약품은 약 구매 기록조차 남지 않아 어떤 약을 언제 처방받았는지 모르고 부작용을 관리할 수 없어 불편함을 겪는다. 이 연구를 통해 제안하는 어플은 처방내역과 복약관리, 약 추천, 약국 찾기로 구성된다. 일반의약품을 처방받은 날짜와 시간, 증상, 효과, 부작용에 대하여 기록하며, 기록을 분석하여 증상에 대한 약을 추천함으로써 치료 효과를 높일 수 있다. 환자가 스스로 투약에 관심을 가지고 기록을 관리함으로써 환자가 주체가 되어 질병을 개선할 수 있다.
