The subjects of the research were 116 families of the stroke patients at 3 rehabilitation hospitals located in the city G. In the data analysis, knowledge related to stroke and education needs were analyzed by independent t-test and ANOVA. Post-test was analyzed by Tukey test. As a results, the general knowledge about stroke was 4.54 points out of the total of 6 points, and there was a statistically significant difference in religion and education level. The full score of the symptoms knowledge of stroke was 15 points. Stroke - related symptom knowledge was a total score of 15 points out of 10.34 points, and there was a significant difference according to degree of education and monthly income. The knowledge of risk factors related to stroke was 8.98 points out of a total of 16 points and there were significant differences in education level, marital status and occupation. Educational needs were measured as 4.70 points on the scale of 5 points, which showed significant difference in education level and income.

During pregnancy, the woman experiences physical and psycho-social changes. Such changes and other factors may become stress for the pregnant woman, making it difficult to maintain healthy and happy pregnant period. In this study, we identify factors for the stress, marital intimacy, family support, and fatigue, in order to provide the foundation for developing intervention programs and improve the quality of nursing. The subjects of there search were 185 pregnant women. Stress had a negative correlation with marital intimacy and family support, and positive correlation with fatigue. Family support, fatigue, adjustment to change due to pregnant, and breastfeeding experience were the influencing factors on the stress of pregnant women. A stress management program for pregnant women needs to be designed to help them with their physical and psychological adjustments. The program will be more effective when accompanied by the family support.

Data was collected by questionnaires from 102 families with a member having a dementia, at neurology departments of hospitals, temporary shelter for dementia patient, and nursing homes for the elderly. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. In results, the score of file-up stress showed a significantly negative correlation with the score of level of family hardiness(r=-.200, p=.026), social support(r=-.361, p=.004), relative and friend support(r=-.416, p=.001), and F-COPES(r=-.345, p=.048). The multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of file-up family stress was family cost for patients with dementia. The results contribute to the understanding of Korean family caregivers' perceptions of caregiveing. Further researches should be conducted with the consideration of Korean traditional custom that family should take care of the elderly family members.

The object of this descriptive survey research was to provide basic information source for building objective standards of DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) that can be clinically applied, by analyzing college students' awareness and attitude toward DNR. The participants of the study were 1,267 students from one college of Daegu, South Korea. The structured survey questionnaire was used for data collection, and the survey was conducted from 1-31 July, 2010. The error and percentage was estimated by SPSS 17.0 program, and analyzed with $x^2$-test. As a result of comparing the nursing students' and non-health care major students' awareness and attitude toward DNR, the significant differences were found in the necessity of DNR, reason for supporting DNR, reason for opposing DNR, and DNR decision-maker, among the awareness dimension; among the attitude dimension, significant differences were found in implication of family DNR and self-DNR. Comparing the nursing students' and non-health care major students' awareness toward DNR related information provision, researchers have found significant differences in the necessity of giving information on DNR, timing of the DNR information provision, result of the DNR-related information provision, and guidelines for the DNR information provision. In terms of the difference in DNR's necessity recognition by the demographic information, the significant differences existed based on the religion and the history of blood donation; in terms of the differences in attitude toward DNR decision-maker, the differences were found on the religion and the number of siblings. For the attitude toward family member's DNR, the significant differences existed for the sex, age, economic status, religion, the number of siblings, the history of familial illness and death, and experience of blood donation; the attitude toward the DNR for the self was significantly differed by the sex, economic status, the number of siblings, and the history of familial illness and death. To establish the standards for DNR based on the study, we suggest more well-designed future studies.

정부는 보건의료취약지역의 주민에게 보건의료를 효율적으로 제공케 함으로써 국민의 의료균형과 보건향상에 목적을 두어 보건진료원을 1981년부터 훈련 배치하였다. 본 연구는 사전 Pre-test, Post-test, Control Group Design에 의하여 이들 보건진료원이 배치되기 이전에 baseline data를 수집 분석하여 3년 후(1984년)에 보건 진료원의 활동성과를 종합적으로 평가하기 위해 실시된 것이다. 본 연구에서 농어촌 벽지에 보건진료원이 배치됨으로써 보건진료원 투입 전 후, 투입지역과 비투입지역(대조지역, control area)간 비교분석에 의하여 보건진료원이 보건의료서비스 접근성의 변화에 준 순효과가 종합적으로 평가될 수 있다. 그러나 본 보고서는 1981년에 농어촌 벽지 4,083 가구의 표본에서 수집된 자료를 이용하여 벽지의 보건의료서비스 접근성의 현상분석에 치중하고 있다. 보건의료서비스는 의료 서비스와 예방서비스로 구분되었고 예방서비스는 모성보건, 영유아보건, 가족계획으로 세 분류 되었다. 보건의료서비스와 접근성은 Aday와 Andersen의 모형에 의하여 4개 component로 나누어 분석되었고, 각 component의 특성은 지표(indicator)에 의하여 설명되고 있다.
