산업의 발전과 함께 소비3자의 욕구는 제품의 질적, 감성적 향상을 요구하고 있으며, 또한 최근 각종 공학의 눈부신 발전에 힘입어서 자동차의 성능, 안락성 등이 크게 향상되면서 운전자의 운전 중 피로감 제거에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 주관적인 피로감 평가 방식 중 졸림감(KSS), 피로감 용어 및 신체 불편도를 이용하여 평가를 수행하였다. 졸림감 및 피로감 용어는 차종 및 자세에 따라 약간의 차이가 있었지만, 대체적으로 시간이 지남에 따라 불편함의 정도가 심해졌다. 신체 불편도에 대한 평가결과 엉덩이, 요추, 어때, 좌우 발목 부위가 불편한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 차종별 또는 운전자세에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이기도 했다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해서 동환경 시스템의 기초 데이터를 확보할 뿐만 아니라, 자동차를 설계하는데 있어, 보다 안락하고 편안한 운전환경을 만들 수 있는 기초자료로써 활용이 가능할 것이다.

운전자가 고속도로와 시내도로에서 3시간 동안 주행했을 때 주관적인 운전 피로감 및 졸림감, 신체적인 불편도를 주관적 평가지를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험결과 운전 피로감은 모든 주행조건에서 운전시간이 경과됨에 따라 유의하게 증가하였고 졸림감은 고속도로 주행시 운전시간에 따라 유의하게 증가하였으며 시내 주행에서 고속도로 주행보다 더 많은 신체부위에서 불편도가 높았다. 따라서 운전 피로는 운전시간에 따라 증가하고 고속도로에서는 졸음, 시내주행에서는 신체적인 불편으로 인한 피로가 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 대장암환자 치료와 신체기능과의 관련요인을 규명하고자 시도되었다. 2009년 12월 15일부터 2010년 1월 30일까지 한 종합병원 외과에 내원한 대장암환자 110명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 자료분석은 치료시점과 신체기능과의 관련요인은 ANOVA를 이용하여 분석하였으며 방사선치료 시기 및 장루유무 등과 신체기능과의 요인은 t-test로 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 치료시점은 성기능에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(F=3.482, p<0.05), 둘째, 오심구토, 식욕저하, 치료부작용은 복원수술 전, 성기능은 복원수술 후에 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 셋째, 장루유무의 경우 성적만족은 장루가 없는 경우가 63.40점으로 장루가 있는 경우의 45.69점 보다 높은 반면 배뇨문제에서는 장루가 있는 경우가 28.17점으로 장루가 없는 경우의 14.69점보다 유의하게 높은 불편감을 가진 것으로 나타났다.(t=1.548, p<0.05). 결론적으로 대장암 환자 치료의 신체기능을 향상하기 위해서는 기능상태와 증상불편감을 개선시킬 수 있는 중재프로그램의 개발과 적용에 관한 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of depression, discomfort, spirituality, physical care, and opioid use on pain with terminally ill cancer patients in the hospice units. Method : The convenient sample of this study consisted of 58 terminally ill cancer patients at three hospice units in university-affiliated hospitals. Patients were interviewed with structured questionnaires. The data was analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multivariate multiple regression. Result : The results of this study were as follows : 1) The mean age of the participants was approximately 57 years. Regarding diagnosis, stomach cancer showed the highest frequency (24.1%), followed by lung cancer (17.2%) and rectal cancer (13.8%). Regarding motivation for admission to the hospice unit, the majority of the participants indicated pain control (67.2%), followed by spiritual care (39.7%), and symptom relief (27.6%). 2) The mean pain level measured by VAS was 5.13 (${\pm}2.61$). Regarding pain type, the highest pain frequency the participants experienced was deep pain (53.4%), followed by multiple pain (20.7%), intestinal pain (17.3%), and neurogenic (5.2%) and superficial pain (3.4%). 3) Regarding the factors influencing pain, the pain level was significantly affected by the depression level (P<0.01) and the opioid use (P<0.01). Conclusion, In summary, the higher the level of pain the terminally ill cancer patents had the higher the depression level as well as the opioid use. Thus, health care professionals need to continuously provide holistic care for them to die comfortably.

This study is to find a service that improves the subjective happiness of cancer patients that receive radiation therapy. One hundred and one cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy were enrolled in the survey to verify the self-consciousness and symptom distress that could affect the subjective happiness. Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation were conducted with the SPSS 20.0 program. Symptom distress of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy showed highest in the order of fatigue, appearance changes, dizziness, loss of appetite, and sleep disorders. And lower symptom distress, higher private self-consciousness were significantly correlated with higher subjective happiness among patients receiving radiation therapy for cancer. Study findings reflect the necessity of an integrative approach combining physical, psychological and emotional interventions during a radiotherapy period. For this cause, it would be necessary to supplement previously existing service programs and organize a patient-friendly system that could affiliate regional cancer centers or Public health centers with the hospitals in which the patients are being treated.

구강내 작열감 증후군은 객관적 징후없이 구강점막에 작열감을 나타내는 만성동통장애이다. 다양한 원인요소들이 제시되어 있지만, 이러한 요소들의 관련성에 대해서는 아직 분명하지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로, 이러한 구강내 기능이상의 근본적이고 효과적인 치료를 위해서는 다양한 임상적 관찰과 원인요소의 분석등이 계속 연구 조사되어져야 할 것이다. 저자는 구강내 작열감 증후군의 증상을 호소하는 112명의 환자의 임상적 특징에 대해 조사하고자, 환자군과 대조군에 대해 구강내 작열감 증후군에 관한 설문조사 및 구강검사와 혈액학적 검사를 시행하였으며, 점도계를 사용하여 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자의 자극이 전타액의 점도를 측정하였다. 또한, 환자의 심리적 요인을 파악하고자 간이정신진단검사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강내 작열감 증후군은 주로 페경기 전후의 여성에서 많이 나타났으며, 호발부위는 혀, 치주 및 치조점막, 구개, 협점막의 순이었다. 2. 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자에게서 대조군 비해 구강건조감, 미각 및 수면장애, 빈혈, 소화기 장애, 두통과 기타 다른 신체불편감의 호소 등이 더 많이 나타났다. 3. 혈액학적 검사결과, 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자중의 26%와 12%에서 각각 혈중 엽산농도와 철분농도의 저하를 나타냇다. 4. 자극시 분비된 전타액의 점도는 40대와 50대이상의 연령군에서 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자가 정상인에 비해 높았다.(p<0.01). 5. 구강내 작열감 증후군 환자군의 간이정신진단검사의 각 증상차원 및 전체지표의 T점수의 평균치는 정상범위내에 있었으며, 신체화(SOD)와 우울 (DEP)차원의 평균치가 가장 높았다.

Purpose: To examine the difference of physical discomfort and childbirth satisfaction between postpartum women with and without having taken Epidural Analgesia. Method: The subjects were divided into one group of 128 primipara taken Epidural Analgesia and the other of the same 70 women who were not taken it. Data were collected by questionnaires of their own physical discomfort and birth satisfaction at postpartum 1 to 2 days in OBGY hospitals, and data were analyzed using SPSS Program. Result: Women having taken epidural analgesia appealed higher physical discomfort than those without it in the lower limbs exercise discomfort, difficult urination, urinary retention, nausea & vomiting, whereas appeared vice versa in breast pain. Among indicators for childbirth satisfaction, women having taken epidural analgesia preferred the same delivery method later again more than those without it. Conclusion: It is confirmed that the method of epidural analgesia is not an absolute way to control labor pain, rather stir physical discomfort after childbirth and does not fully increase the women's childbirth satisfaction. Therefore, it is proposed that nurses should provide the pregnant women the right knowledge and information, thereby enabling them to select the useful method of childbirth to their own course of childbirth and health-recovering after the delivery.

Purpose: This study was to identify the relationship between physical suffering, emotional state, and nursing needs of pregnant women in preterm labor and the difference depending on general characteristics. Methods: The participants in this descriptive survey, selected by convenience sampling, were 126 pregnant women who were hospitalized after being diagnosed with preterm labor at 3 university hospitals. Results: The level of personal hygiene was assessed in physical suffering, level of fear was assessed by the emotional state, and level of perterm labor was assessed by the nursing cares. In the analysis, physical suffering, emotional state, and nursing needs in the subjects all showed a significantly positive correlation. Differences in physical suffering, emotional state, and nursing needs depending on general characteristics were as follows; age, job, family type, economic condition, smoking, drinking admission days, previous delivery type, and artificial insemination. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the nurse should focus on the domain of personal hygiene, and teaching contents specific for abdominal breathing exercises for relieving the women's fear and anxiety should be added.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of video-audio information provision on physical discomfort, anxiety and nursing satisfaction of the clients for gastroscopy. Methods: The study design was nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The subjects were 50 patients who visited H hospital health examination center for gastroscopy. Video-audio information developed by the authors was used as educational material for the treatment group. The data were collected between September 15 and November 15, 2010. The study instruments were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Physical Discomfort Scale, and the Nursing Satisfaction Scale. Results: The level of anxiety and physical discomfort in the treatment group were not significantly different from that in the comparison group (t=-0.28, p=.781; t=-0.34, p=.741). The level of clients' satisfaction with nursing care in the treatment group was significantly higher than in the comparison group (t=-4.12, p<.001). Conclusion: Use of video-audio information was effective in the increase in satisfaction with care. Therefore, it could be useful in the nursing practice, and be utilized as a way of nursing intervention to improve nursing satisfaction.
