Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of discharge planning on patient satisfaction, the readmission rate and preparedness for discharge in the elderly admitted to the emergency room (ER) for pulmonary disease. Methods: A quasi-experimental intervention study design was used. Older adults with pulmonary health problems in the ER in one general hospital were randomly allocated to either an experimental (n=21, 74.2 years) or control group (n=19, 70.7 years). The experimental group participated in a discharge planning program by a geriatric nurse practitioner. Data were collected from medical records, physical measurements and structured questionnaires including information on demographics, patient satisfaction, readmission, and preparedness for discharge. Results: Participants in the experimental group had significantly better outcomes with regard to patient satisfaction with nursing services (p=.003) and preparedness for discharge (p=.034). However, there was no significant effect on the readmission rate (p=.392) Conclusion: The results suggested that a discharge planning program could bolster nursing service satisfaction and preparedness for discharge in older patients admitted to the ER for pulmonary health problems. To clarify the effects of discharge planning on older patients admitted to the ER, a larger sample population, better instruments for various measures, a new manual on discharge planning and frequent follow-up will be necessary.

연세대학교 의과대학 영동세브란스병원에서는 1989년 3월부터 1997년 9월까지 외래와 전화추적이 가능하였던 654명(남자 354명과 여자 300명)의 다한증 환자를 대상으로 흉부교감신경절제술을 시행하였다. 다한증에 대한 흉강 내시경을 이용한 수술기법은 기존의 개흉술보다 선명한 수술시야를 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 단순기관 삽관을 이용한 마취 유도기법으로 마취시간의 단축과 수술시간의 단축, 그리고 입원기간의 단축이 가능하게 되었다. 시간절약뿐만 아니라 수술기법이 쉽고 미용효과를 최대로 살릴수 있는 2 mm주사침 흉강경을 이용한 흉부 교감신경 절제술은 최근 다한증에 가장 확실한 치료법이 되었다. 수술기법의 변화는 수술의 결과를 향상시켰으며, 수술 후 만족도를 95%이상으로 향상시켰다.

Purpose: Loneliness may be a typical psychological consideration in chronically ill patients, linking with low life satisfaction. We aimed to determine if loneliness would be independently associated with life satisfaction in pneumoconiosis patients hospitalized in long-term care facilities. Methods: We recruited 164 patients from 3 pneumoconiosis-specialized hospitals in M and S cities, South Korea, and measured loneliness and life satisfaction by using the University of California Los Angeles loneliness and life satisfaction index-Z scales. The Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine an independent association between loneliness and life satisfaction after adjustment for age, the levels of dyspnea and bronchitis-emphysema symptom, length of institutionalization, marital status, previous coal work experience, perceived socioeconomic status, and presence of caregivers. Results: The mean of loneliness was 46.4. We found a significant association between loneliness and life satisfaction (standardized beta=-0.16, p=0.049), independent of all the covariates. Conclusions: Loneliness was an independent associate of life satisfaction in patients with pneumoconiosis who were institutionalized in long-term care facilities. Thus, a nursing intervention strategy for relieving loneliness is needed to increase life satisfaction in these patients.
