노인인구의 증가에 따라 노인성 질환이 증가하고, 대표적 노인성 질환직 하나인 치매도 점점 증가하고 있다. 이제까지 치매가 노화의 한 정상적인 과점으로 여겨져왔고 최근에 와서야 하나의 질병으로 인식하기 시작하였기 때문에, 그간 치매노인의 의료복지적 측면의 관리가 소홀하였고 가족의 어려움이 켰었다. 본 연구는 치매노인 시설을 이용하고 있는 치매노인 가족간호자를 대상으로 치매노인의 일상생활 기능손상정도 및 건강상태, 가족간호자의 간호부담정도, 사회적지지, 치매노인과 가족간호자의 삶의 질 정도, 그리고 그들이 어떤 사희복지적지지 서비스를 이용하려 하는 지를 파악하여, 앞으로의 치매노인과 그 가족간호자의 부함을 경감하고 삶의 질을 개선할 수 있는 대안마련의 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 수행되었다.

This study aimed to investigate the nursing needs of hospitalized children's mothers and the quality of care in a pediatric unit. A secondary data analysis was conducted using mixed methods design. The qualitative data from 8 mothers of hospitalized children gathered through an in-depth interview were analyzed to investigate nursing needs. The quantitative data from 194 hospitalized children's mothers were analyzed to examine the quality of care in the pediatric unit using IBM SPSS 24.0. The results of qualitative research were categorized into 4 themes: dignity and respect, explanation, participation and collaboration, and nursing practice. The importance of quality of care, performance, and quality index were $8.76{\pm}1.19$ (0~10), $.30{\pm}.19$ (0~1), and $7.52{\pm}1.62$ (0~10), respectively. The quality of care scores differed according to the stage of development of the children (F=2.75, p=.044), and the score of the quality index of nursing skill varied according to the age of the mother (t=-2.08, p=.039). The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of strategies to improve the quality of nursing care for children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to figure out the effect of nurse staffing in nursing home on the quality of care and quality of life of the residents, using Castle & Engberg's conceptual framework. Methods: A total of 31 studies published between 1996 and 2021 were selected from 6 databases, searched for keyword such as "Nurse staffing", "Nursing staff", "Outcome", "Quality of care", "Quality of life", "residents outcomes", "nursing home", "long-term care". By using Castle & Engberg's conceptual framework, systematic review was conducted. Results: More time provided by nursing staff, high level of licensed nurse staffing, good relationship between nursing staff and residents, and generous supervision system have a positive effect on resident outcomes. Conclusion: Establishing regulatory strategies of having mandatory Registered Nurse is needed because nurse staffing in nursing homes was related to resident outcomes. In addition, it is necessary to conduct further research about quality of life beyond quality of care for residents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of family cohesion and self-care agency on the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected during September 2-20, 2016 by distributing questionnaires to and retrieving them from 197 elderly participants aged 65 years or older in two senior welfare centers located in "B" metropolitan city. Results showed that family cohesion of community-dwelling elderly was significantly positively correlated with their self-care agency (r=.434, p<.001) and quality of life (r=.544, p<.001), while self-care agency was significantly positively correlated with quality of life (r=.571, p<.001). The factors that had the biggest effect on the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly were identified in the order of self-care agency (${\beta}=0.413$, p<.001) and family cohesiveness (${\beta}=0.365$, p<.001). These variables were found to have an explanatory power of 42.8% for quality of life (F=74.31, p<.001). Therefore, a strategy to improve self-care agency and family cohesion may be helpful in improving the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing sleep quality of nursing students, focusing on depression, smartphone usage before sleep, and academic score. Among nursing students in the 3rd and 4th grades of two universities, 196 subjects were randomly selected. Data were collected from April to July 2021 using tool of sleep quality(PSQI-K), depression(Korean BDI-II), and smartphone usage before sleep, and the effect on sleep quality was analyzed through Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. As a result of the study, two factors, depression and smartphone usage before sleep, had 39.0% explanatory power for the sleep quality of nursing students, and were statistically significant. That is, the higher the depression level and the more frequent smartphone usage before sleep, the worse the sleep quality level. However, academic score was not a significant variable. In conclusion, in order to improve the sleep quality of nursing students, it is necessary to reduce the pattern of sleep disorders related to depression and to correct the lifestyle by reducing smartphone usage before sleep.

한국경제 수준의 향상과 보험제도의 도입으로 병원을 찾는 대상자의 수가 증가하게 되었다. 아울러 저렴한 보험숫자가 병원슷가가 병원의 경영난을 초래하게 되므로 병원주는 이를 극복하기 위한 과학적이고 체계적인 병원관리에 관심을 갖게 되었다. 특히 간호부(과)에서도 목적 지향적인 계획과 업무수행에 관심을 갖게 되어 그 관리체계나 간호의 질이 향상하기 시작하였다. 간호의 질을 향상시키기 위한 간호관리란 그 내용이 방대하므로 본 논문에서는 수간호원의 역할에 중점을 두었다. 즉 간호의 질 향상을 위한 평가 중 소급평가로써 퇴원환자 기록지 감사, 퇴원예정환자면접 및 병실 집담회에 관한 내용과 동시 평가로써 환자 기록지 감사 및 환자 면접 내용에 관해서 논하였다. 또한 인력관리를 위해서는 간호원-환자간의 관계, 간호원-의사간의 관계, 직무평가, 업무평가 및 간호인력 활용에 관해서 미국과 한국의 차이점을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 한국의 간호관리는 병원표준화 심사실시 및 간호원의 계속적인 노력으로 많은 향상을 보았으나 아직까지는 간호업무 수행절차에 관한 평가에 불가하므로 목적 지향적인 업무체계화와 한국병원상황에 적합한 평가도구의 틀개발과 질적간호를 위한 적정간호인력의 확보에 관한 노력이 계속되져야 한다고 본다.

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between the needs for hospice care and quality of life in cancer patients. Methods: Data were collected from 127 cancer patients hospitalized at a university hospital in Chonbuk between October, 2006 to March, 2007. Two instruments were used: cancer patients' need for hospice care, developed by Kang and Kim and quality of life developed by Tae et al. Results: The mean scores were 3.11 out of 4 for hospice care needs, and 5.25 out of 10 for quality of life. The correlation between needs for hospice care and quality of life was moderate and negative (r=-0.395, P<0.01). Among the four groups of needs, physical need was the most strongly correlated with quality of lifer (r=-0.388, P<0.01). The need for hospice care was significantly different according to participants' religion (t=6.02, P<0.05), and duration of disease (F=3.45, P< 0.05). Quality of life was significantly different according to participants' monthly income (F=3.38, P<0.05). cancer stage (F=8.10, P<0.01) and chemotherapy (t=6.09, P=0.015). Conclusion: The results suggested that the cancer patients' hospice care needs should be answered in order to improve their quality of life. While doing so, participants' characteristic need should also be considered.

본 연구는 수면의 질, 우울, 불안, 인지기능을 확인하고 이들의 상관관계를 알아보는 서술적 상관관계연구 연구이다. K도 G시, D시에 위치한 10곳의 경로당에서 65세 이상 일반노인 130명을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 대상자의 일반적 특성의 빈도, 백분율을 산출하였고 대상자의 수면의 질, 불안, 우울, 인지정도의 평균, 표준 편차을 산출하였으며, 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 수면의 질, 불안, 우울, 인지정도를 t-test와 one-way ANOVA로 분석하였으며, 대상자의 수면의 질, 불안, 우울, 인지정도의 상관관계 검정은 Pearson's correlation coefficient를 실시하였다. 연구결과는 수면의 질, 불안, 우울, 인지기능의 상관관계는 불안과 수면의 질(p=-.422), 우울과 수면의 질(p=-.552)간에 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 불안과 우울은 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 노인이 지각하는 수면의 질과 우울, 불안, 인지기능의 정도를 파악하고 노인수면증진을 위한 간호중재 개발에 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the job satisfaction and quality of life of nurses in a integrated nursing care service ward (INCSW) and a general ward (GW). A total of 88 nurses working in INCSW and GW were invited and followed up for 6 months over 3 times. There was no significant difference in job satisfaction between INCSW and GW for 6 months, while there was a difference in quality of life: overall quality of life (1st p=.033, 2nd p=.030), and overall general health (1st p=.049). Comparison of two groups by period in job satisfaction, there were statistically significant differences of the item 'recognition from the organization and professional achievement' (2nd versus 3rd, p=.037) and 'interpersonal interaction with respect and recognition' (1st versus 3rd, p=.005; 2nd versus 3rd, p=.006) in the INCSW. Comparison of two groups by period in quality of life, there was a statistically significant difference of the item 'overall quality of life' (1st versus 3rd, p=.025; 2nd versus 3rd, p=.010) in the INCSW. Development of various nursing strategies (such as manpower arrangement that reflects the nursing skill levels, patient needs, job training and organizational culture before placement) can be helpful for improving nurses job satisfaction and quality of life in INCSW and GW.
