The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge and performance of cancer pain management of nurses and nurses' aides in long-term care hospitals. Subjects were 84 nurses and 72 nurses' aides recruited from seven long-term care hospitals in Gwangju city and Jeonranam-do. SPSS/WIN 21.0 was used for data analysis by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. The mean scores of knowledge of cancer pain management were 16.84, and the score for performance was 2.88. There were significant differences in the knowledge of cancer pain management according to education level, job, and cancer pain management guidelines. Significant differences in performance of cancer pain management were observed according to education level, job, number of beds, cognition of cancer pain management guidelines, and clinical practice guideline for cancer pain management. Knowledge, number of beds, and clinical practice guideline for cancer pain management affected in performance of cancer pain management. Education program for cancer pain management and clinical practice guideline for cancer pain management are needed to improve performance of cancer pain management of nurses and nurses' aides in long-term care hospitals.

Introduction : Animal studies cannot be applied directly to Occupational Therapy(OT) intervention protocol. However, animal models still provide essential evidences and knowledge to improve OT practice and to develop OT theories as well as human studies do. The purpose of this scholarly paper is to explore the potential of animal models to inform OT theory and practice particularly as it relates to neuroscience. Body : The animal models provide related knowledge for a better understanding of the mechanism of diseases and related neural networks. Based on this knowledge, researchers can test their hypothesis of neural disease. In addition, accumulated animal studies contribute to introduce the new approaches to human diseases and to improve the effectiveness of treatment. Conclusions : Animal models of neurological disease are critical and have the potential to improve OT practice and theory in many ways. Therefore, OT researchers need to pay more attention to animal models in addition human studies.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships between nursing students' knowledge on dementia, care performance, and empathy, thus providing the foundation of dementia patient nursing intervention strategies for nursing students. For the analysis to examine the relationships, this study used descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The analysis showed that the higher students' year of study and the higher their interest in dementia (F=5.02, p=.008), the higher their knowledge on dementia (t=-4.03, p<.001), and also that the higher their satisfaction with clinical training (F=3.91, p=.023), the higher their care performance. It was found that nursing students' knowledge on dementia and their care performance (r=.21, p=.023) were positively correlated at a statistically significant level. Based on the results, this study suggests the need to develop and utilize education programs that can help students gain knowledge on dementia prior to clinical training so that they can have more knowledge on dementia and be encouraged to practice caring for patients with dementia.

이상에서 견관절 불안정성의 수술과 관련된 합병증은 매우 다양하며 심각한 합병증을 초래하여 불량한 임상결과를 가져올 수 있으므로 초기 진단에서부터 환자 선정에 세심한 주의를 기울여야 하며 합병증 발생 가능 요인에 대해 충분히 인지하여야 한다. 술자의 지식 및 수기가 수술 성패의 중요한 요인이므로 만족스러운 임상결과를 얻기 위해서는 부단한 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to explore the levels of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)-related knowledge, attitudes and preventive behaviors performance and to identify predictors of MERS-related preventive behaviors performance among clinical practice students in a tertiary hospital. The participants were 480 nursing and medical clinical practice students. Data collection was conducted using self-reported questionnaires in June of 2015 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression using the SPSSWIN 24.0 program. The MERS-related knowledge (9.56 out of 13 points) was high, attitudes towards MERS, such as severity cognition and prevention about MERS was positive (4.15 out of 5 points), and MERS-related preventive behaviors performance level was moderate (3.02 out of 5 points). Female students, having education experience regarding MERS, taking vaccination for influenza H1N1 infection in the last year, having the intention of taking influenza H1N1 in the current year, having fear of MERS infection, higher knowledge and more positive attitudes about MERS were predictors of better MERS-related preventive behaviors performance. These results show that general characteristics associated with MERS-related preventive behaviors performance should be considered to improve preventive behaviors of clinical practice students. Furthermore, this study highlights the need to develop effective and useful MERS education programs that provide essential knowledge and attitude about MERS that clinical practice students must acquire to promote the MERS-related preventive behaviors performance.

최근 가축을 사육하고 있는 현장에서 번식장애 즉 불임증을 호소하는 농가들이 예전에 비해 부쩍 늘어가고 있는 추세에 발맞추어 임상수의사들이나, 인공수정업무를 행하고 있는 인공수정사, 사육농가들이 번식장애를 예방 또는 치료의 목적으로 호르몬 제재를 사용하거나 번식효율을 제고하고 저 이를 사용하고 있는 경우가 허다하게 볼 수가 있다. 허나, 이러한 호르몬 제재들의 그 유효성분, 적용 축종, 투여방법, 안전성 및 부작용 등을 정확하게 숙지한 상황에서 사용하지 않으면 오히려 호르몬 제재의 오, 남용으로 인한 번식장애를 유발할 가능성이 높다고 하겠다. 필자 역시 전국각지에서 가축들을 사육하고 있는 농가들이 방문 내지는 인터넷, 전화 등의 유선통신로부터 많은 질문을 받아온 결과 상당히 많은 분들이 정확한 진단이나 지식이 없이 무분별하게 사용하고 있는 실태를 보고 경악을 금치 못했던 기억을 새삼 떠올려짐을 어찌할수 없음을 밝혀둔다. 따라서 우리 임상전문수의사들의 생식기검사가 이뤄진 후 정확한 진단하에서 사용되고 있는 호르몬 제재는 기술(旣述)한 바와 같이 별반 문제점이 발생할 소지가 적으나, 이외의 비전문가들이 사용하는 경우는 오히려 호르몬제재를 사용하지 않는 경우보다도 나쁜 악영향을 초래할 가능성이 높다고 하겠다. 이에 우리임상전문수의사 뿐만 아니라 수의관계업무에 관련하는 모든분들에게도 최근 호르몬 및 그 제재에 대한 정확한 지식을 숙지하여 나갈 필요성을 절감하여 이에 대해 상세한 고찰을 하여 나갈까 한다. 이 글을 읽어보는 수의사들에게 조그마한 도움이 되었으면 하는 바램을 피력하고 싶다.

This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the self-confidence in performing patient safety management in nursing students. As a result of the analysis, 7.0 points in knowledge of patient safety management, 3.86 points in attitude of patient safety management, 3.47 points in clinical decision making ability, and 4.15 points in self-confidence in performing patient safety management. Self-confidence in performing patient safety management was positively correlated with knowledge of patient safety management(r=.216, p<.01) and attitude of patient safety management(r=.375, p<.01), clinical decision making ability(r=.467, p<.01). The self-confidence in performing patient safety management was influenced by clinical decision making ability(β=.409, p<.001) and attitude of patient safety management(β=.198, p=.011), explanatory power was 26.3%.

Electroencephalography (EEG) provides the most accurate and quickest diagnosis of epilepsy. It is also an important examination for the real-time evaluation of brain function and seizures, no matter where. In the field of epilepsy, it is appropriate for a clinical pathologist with considerable knowledge of EEG and clinical experience to perform the role of a Physician Assistant (PA). The electrode attachment method is based on the international 10-20 system. The EEG reading is mainly taken by longitudinal bipolar montage. However, a reading using only one montage may result in an error. Hence, two or more montages should be used for readings according to the clinical situation. In the EEG, electric potentials are seen as contour lines. The most important principle in EEG reading is under-reading, not over-reading. The higher the repetitions of the EEG recording, the greater the sensitivity of the reading. For a good reading, the EEG recording must be of good quality. So, the relationship between the neurologist and the EEG technician is very important. In the future, it is expected that the field of activities of the EEG technician with abundant EEG reading experience and clinical practical knowledge will be further expanded.
