Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing activities and to analyze patient outcomes related to indwelling urinary catheterization. Method: A review was done of 628 medical records from five units for patients admitted between January 1 and June 30, 2006. Twelve nurses who worked in the same units were interviewed. Results: In the interviews, nurses reported considering several non-invasive interventions prior to catheterization but there were no medical records of this activity. Results from the in-depth interviews showed that infection control activities such as urinary bag management were conducted but again there were no medical records. Seventy-five percent of the catheters were removed without prescription. In the medical records there were no notes for approximately 15%, on the time of first voiding and 80%, on volume of first voiding after removal of catheter. There was a significant difference in hospitalization days between the group catheterized for 5 days or less and the group catheterized for 6 days or more. Conclusion: Results indicate a need to close the gap between recorded and described activities and between current and best evidence based practice. Further study is needed to develop a standard recording system and guidelines related indwelling catheterization to decrease the gaps identified in this research.

This study aims to investigate chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, nutritional status and both relation of patients with acute myeloid leukemia during 1st consolidation chemotherapy and the therapy-related cytopenic phase in order to determine more effective nutritional support. We review medical records of total 54 cases received first consolidation chemotherapy on P hospital in Busan. The duration of neutropenia(Absolute Neutrophil Count<$1000/{\mu}{\ell}$) is mean 14.78 days, neutropenia occur on mean 10th(9.54) day of chemotherapy(D10). The nutritional parameters of total protein, body weight, BMI showed no significant interval change during chemotherapeutic cycle except albumin, cholesterol. The neutropenia wasn't dependent on general factor of gender, age, comorbidities, Body Surface Area(BSA). The correlation wasn't revealed between neutropenia and nutritional status. In conclusion, although nutritional status didn't affect neutropenia, this study provides detailed information on the neutropenic response of acute myeloid leukemia patients during induction chemotherapy.

Methotrexate(MTX)는 소아 골육종 환자에서 $12g/m^2$의 고용량을 사용하고 있다. 현재, 소아 골육종 환자에서 신기 능에 따른 고용량 MTX의 임상 약동학은 연구되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신기능에 따른 MTX 약동학을 이용하여 구내염을 최소화하는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 환자들의 의무기록지를 후향적 방법으로 검토하였다. 한 병원에서 골육종으로 진단받고, 치료 받은 환자들을 대상으로 정상 신기능군과 비정상 신기능군으로 나누었다. 두 군에 MTX 투여 후 혈중 농도를 각각 비교하였고, 최고 혈중농도도 비교하였다. 혈중 농도와 구내염의 관련성, CL, AUC와 구내염의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 각 군의 terminal half-life, CL, Vss의 평균과 mea residence time(MRT)의 평균을 구하였고, 두 군간 각각을 비교하였다 $({\alpha}=0.05)$. 결과: 환자는 6명이었고, 평가 가능한 총 MTX 투여 회수는 34회였다. MTX 투여 후 최고혈중 농도, 24,48 시간의 혈중농도는 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 있었고, 72,96 시간에서의 농도는 두 군간 유의성이 없었다. 각 군에서 혈중농도와 구내염의 상관관계, 그리고 CL, AUC와 구내염의 상관관계는 발견되지 않았다. Vss를 제외한 모든 파라미터들(terminal half-life, CL, MRT)은 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다. 결론: 비정상 신기능 군에서 MTX 투여 시작 후 24, 48 시간에서의 혈중농도가 더 높고, 변동이 심했다. 또한 MTX의 CL는 감소했고, 혈중농도는 증가하였다. 이러한 사실로 MTX 투여 전 후 혈중 크레아티닌이나 또는 크레아티닌 청소율 모니터링이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있으며, MTX 투여가 끝난 직후 그리고 그 이후 24 시간 간격으로 혈중 농도를 측정해야함을 알 수 있다.

This study was tried to evaluate the level of completeness and the accordance in electronic medical records by comparing paper-based medical record in doctor's admission records, discharge summary, and nursing information records. Medical records of inpatients of neurology department that the 100 paper-based medical records in 2004 and 100 electronic medical records in 2006 were targeted. Existence of record items and doctor-nurse record accordance were evaluated in doctor's admission record, discharge summary, admission nursing information record, and discharge nursing information record. There were not any differences between electronic medical records and paper-based medical records in doctor's admission record and discharge summary. Electronic medical records had less missing records than paper-based medical records in admission and discharge nursing information records. Electronic medical records showed higher accordance than the paper-based medical record in doctor-nurse record generally, but there were statistically differences in only medication, allergy, smoking, and drinking (p<0.05). In this study, it was verified that the quality of electronic medical records are better than paper-based records in nursing information record and doctor-nurse record agreement.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate patients' characteristics and actual conditions of home-based services offered by a free-standing hospice center. Methods: A retrospective review was performed with the medical records of 75 patients who received home-based hospice care from a free-standing hospice center from January 2014 through December 2014. Results: Most patients (54.7%) were enrolled via self-directed referral. The reason for the service termination was death at home 25.3%, admission to a hospice ward 50.7%, hospitalization 22.6% and patients' refusal 2.7%. Seventy three patients had cancer, and two patients had ALS. Among all, 58.7% were in a dying phase, and 34.7% were almost completely bedfast at the time of their enrollment in this study. When they enrolled, the patients' physical symptoms were characterized as pain (89.4%), sleep disturbance (71.2%), urinary difficulties (35.8%) and defecation difficulties (47.8%). Among all, 77.4% terminated the home visit service within one month. The mean frequency of the home visits was 3.25 (${\pm}3.98$), and less than five in 82.7% of patients. The mean frequency of the phone service was 3.40 (${\pm}3.12$). The frequency of doctor's home visits was $1.21{\pm}0.79$ on average, and the figure increased when patients' conditions turned unstable. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop a home-based hospice care model with consideration of patients' characteristics and the actual service conditions delivered by free-standing hospice facilities.

This study was done to identify the evaluation of CPSCS for neurocritical patients and provide effective nursing interventions for these patients. Data were collected from medical records of 203 neurocritical patients over 18 years of age who were admitted to the ICU of C University Hospital during the period from January 2008 to May 2009 and from October 2011 to December 2011. Collected data were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA test, Person's correlation analysis, trend analysis, stepwise multiple regression. The average CPSCS score was $112.09{\pm}18.91$ and there was a significant trendency for higher severity to lead to higher CPSCS's scores(survival: J-T:9.795, die: J-T:5.415, p=<.001). The scores of the respective areas follows measurement of vital sign($3.74{\pm}2.15$), monitoring($28.97{\pm}4.31$), activity daily living ($34.99{\pm}3.66$), feeding($.19{\pm}.98$), intravenous infusion ($18.20{\pm}8.27$), treatment/procedure ($16.93{\pm}4.90$), respiratory therapy($8.61{\pm}7.07$). By means of stepwise multiple regression analysis, the intravenous therapy & medication, respiratory therapy, activities of daily living, and monitoring area that contains the model showed a significant (F=2073.963, p<.001), and they explained 98.1% of CPSCS. These findings provide information that is relevant in designing interventions to enhance CPSCS among neurocritical patients in hospital.
