지난 이태 동안, 미국간호협회에서는 5개 분과위원회의 간호원들이 모여 ''간호란 무엇인가?''라는 문제에서 그 기준을 모색하기 위해 고심해 왔다. 공중 보건간호나 노인병간호, 모자보건간호, 일반 내$\cdot$외과간호, 정신과 간호등 다섯 분과위원회는 각분야의 업무평가 기준을 확립하기 위하여 수차 회으를 통하여 각분야의 간호업무 본질을 조사하였다. 이들의 조사결과는 ''간호란 무엇인가''를 확실히 하여 다른 사람을 이해시키고 업무수행 능력의 측정의 기준이 될 것으로 기대한다. 최근에 다섯개분과의 간호원들은 이 결과를 보고하기 위해서 저널지에서 토론하였는데 이 토론 가운데는 각 분과 위원회의 유사점을 비교했고 상반되는 점들을 서로 알게 되었다. 간호원들의 능력을 측정하는 수단 이외에는 어떤 분과도 간호업무의 실행능력 측정의 방법에 대해서 아무 전례도 가지고 있지 못했다. 각 분과회의는 장시간에 걸쳐 맡겨진 분야를 연구하여 초고(草稿)를 만들고 다시 수정하고 난 후에 실무간호원 및 고문으로부터 여러가지 의견을 받아 들였다. 이렇게 하여 간호기준은 여러가지 단계를 거쳐 완성되어 가고 있으며 각 부분이 끝나는 대로 발행될 것이다. 제일 먼저 ''노인병간호'' ''정신과 간호''의 업무기준이 곧 발행될 것이다. 모자보건위원회는 마지막 평가를 받기 위해 각 주에 있는 위원회에 그 간호기준을 보낼 계획이다. 일반 내$\cdot$외과간호 위원회에서는 이미 만들어 놓은 간호 기준을 50명의 전문 간호원들로 페널 디스커?을 가질 계획이며, 공중보건간호위원회는 9월에 열릴 회의에서 마지막 단계로 들어 갈 것으로 보고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to provide evidences throught integrative review of non-pharmacological intervention studies for constipation in the elderly in Korea. Through the domestic search engines RISS and KISS, eleven studies were selected by searching for theses and academic journals published in Korea from 2010 to January 2023. According to the study result, relevant studies were 11, and non-pharmacological interventions included abdominal massage, foot massage, acupressure, moxibustion, lifestyle intervention, carbonated water intake, and complex therapy. Constipation, sleep quality, and depression were confirmed as effects of the intervention. However, there is no study confirming the quality of life related to constipation in the elderly, so it is necessary to develop and apply a non-pharmacological intervention program for constipation considering the quality of life of the elderly.

This study was conducted to develop a supportive nursing intervention plan for the young-old by identifying the essence and meaning structure of re-employment experience after retirement. Participants of this study were selected by convenience sampling of seven Korean young-old individuals from 60 to 74 years of age who had re-employment experience after retirement in C city. Data were collected from June to August of 2016 based on an in-depth interview and tape-recording. The interview data were analyzed by the phenomenological analysis method developed by Giorgi. The analysis revealed the following constituents; confusion in response to the change of life, recognizing that it is not easy to work again, adaption to new changes, opening a new life. It is becoming increasingly important that nurses, who have played an important role in elderly nursing because of the increase in average life expectancy and overall elderly population, take care of extended tasks throughout the society, away from clinical work. Therefore, a social support system and nursing guidelines necessary for continuous nursing intervention should be provided so that the elderly, including those at early retirement age, can be satisfied with their life after retirement.

This study examined the effects of taping therapy on knee pain and depression in older adult women. A nonequivalent control group pre-post design was used. A total of 63 older adult women in the senior welfare center were recruited and assigned to the experimental group (31) or control group (32). Taping therapy was provided to the experimental group three times a week for two weeks. Data were collected before and after the intervention program. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, Chi-square test, and t-test with SPSS Statistics Win 21.0 program. Knee pain (t= -9.91, p<0.001) and depression (t= -4.59, p<0.001) were decreased significantly in the experimental group. The results show that taping therapy is an effective nursing intervention for decreasing knee pain and depression in older adult women.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of a gerontological nursing clinical practice course using action learning on undergraduate nursing students. The subjects were 75 undergraduate nursing students from Y University. Data were analyzed using SPSS/Win 21.0. There were significant improvements in problem solving (t=3.58, p<.001) and communication (t=4.15, p<.000) in the experimental group compared to the control group. This study provides evidence that gerontological nursing courses improve undergraduate nursing students' problem solving and communication skills. Accordingly, this course would be a useful teaching and learning method in nursing programs of outcome based curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of flow experience and learning competency on learning satisfaction after virtual simulation-based nursing practice education for the elderly. The subjects of this study were 72 nursing students and data were collected through online surveys from April 2 to May 7, 2021. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression analysis. As a result of the study, the learning satisfaction of nursing students after virtual simulation education showed a significant positive correlation with flow experience (r=.656, p<.001) and learning competency (r=.672, p<.001). The most influential factors on learning satisfaction were learning competency (𝛽=.459, p<.001) and flow experience (𝛽=.413, p<.001), and the explanatory power of the model was 60.9%. Therefore, in order to improve learning satisfaction after virtual simulation education, it is suggested to develop ways to promote flow experience in practice and improve individual learning capabilities.

This study aimed to explore and understand the meaning and essence of their experiences in the context of Vietnamese daughter-in-law and rural elderly women's lives. Van Manen's hermeneutics phenomenological method was used. Participants of the study were 8 people who live with a Vietnamese Daughter-in-law. Data was collected through individual in-depth interviews. 8 essential themes and 28 themes were derived from the data analysis. The rural elderly women who had Vietnamese Daughter-in-law had to continuously provide support for their son's family and were subject to a high level of stress due to the differences between Korean culture and Vietnamese culture. The findings can be used to develop a practical and comprehensive community nursing intervention based on the perspectives of all family members. For further study, exploratory study on the grandson who has a Vietnamese mother or the son who has a Vietnamese wife is recommanded.

This study is a descriptive survey study to investigate the quality of sleep and to compare the factors relating quality of sleep in the young-old people and the old-old people. The subjects of the study were 200 elderly people who live in the G-region applying convenient expression method. Using a structured questionnaire, sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and health-related characteristics, depression, and quality of sleep were examined. We analyzed ${\chi}^2-test$, t-test, ANOVA(scheffe's test), Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression using IBM SPSS WIN/21.0. The results of the study were as follows. The quality of sleep was significantly worse in the old-old people than in the young-old people. In young-old people, only depression (r=-.22, p=.038) showed a significant negative correlation with sleep quality. Old-old people was a significant negative correlation between sleep quality and depression (r=-.19, p=.045) and subjective health status (r=-.29, p=.002). In the young-old people, job, chronic illness, and economic level were significant influencing factors in the quality of sleep. In the old-old people, chronic disease, subjective health status, and smoking were significant influencing factors. The results of this study can be used as basic data for establishing tailored strategy for ages that can improve health of the elderly.
