목적: 의료수준의 발전과 더불어 대중들의 건강요구와 건강증진에 대한 기대 수준도 점점 높아지므로 간호사는 대상자의 요구를 이해하고 양질의 간호를 제공하여 환자의 건강상태를 바람직한 방향으로 변화시켜야 한다. 따라서 이 연구는 환자가 인지한 간호에 대한 경험과 대상자가 경험한 간호에 대한 만족도를 파악하고, 그 관계를 규명함으로써 환자 간호의 질향상과 간호 만족도 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 일 종합병원의 127명의 입원 환자가 간호 경험정도와 제공받은 간호에 대한 환자 만족도 정도를 규명하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구결과: 첫째, 입원환자의 간호 행위에 대한 간호 지각도의 정도는 각 항목별 비교 분석한 결과 신체적 간호행위에 대한 지각도가 평균평점은 2.74로 가장 높았으며, 또한 환자가 지각한 간호행위에 대한 만족도는 기술-전문적 간호행위(M= 3.55)의 만족도가 가장 높았다. 둘째, 일반적 제특성과 전체 간호행위의 지각도와 차이가 있는지 분석한 결과 연령(p< 0.1)에 따라 유의한 차가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 연령이 높을수록 간호행위에 대한 지각도가 높게 나타났다. 그리고, 간호행위에 대 한 지각도의 하부영역 분류중 신체적간호행위에 대한 지각도는 입원과(p< 0.05)에 따라 유의한 차가 있는 것으로 보였다. 또한 일반적 제특성과 전체 간호행위의 만족도와의 관계에서는 입원과(p< 0.05)에 따라 유의한 차가 있었다. 일반외과 환자가 내과 환자보다 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 입원환자의 간호 행위에 대한 환자의 지각도와 만족도간의 관계(r= 0.39, p= 0.00)는 서로 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구의 대상은 1개 종합병원에 국한된 것이므로 연구결과를 일반화 할 때는 신중을 기해야 한다. 연구결과에서 보여주듯이 정신적 간호행위가 가장낮은 지각도로 나타났듯이 간호사는 환자들의 정신적 지지의 간호가 잘 이루어 지도록 노력해야 할 것이며, 또한 교육적 간호행위의 만족도가 가장 낮게 나타났으므로 보다 더 환자와 간호사간의 정보교환이 잘 이루어지도록 해야 한다. 연구결과를 기초로 하여 전 진료과 병동으로 확대 반복 연구를 제언하며, 환자의 간호 만족도를 향상시키기 위해 전문적 지식 및 긍정적 의사표현등을 포괄하여 간호사의 적극적 간호행위가 수행되어야 할 필요가 있다.

This study aims at developing dialog system to improve the quality of life of the elderly with a dementia. The proposed system mainly consists of three modules including speech recognition, automatic search of the time-sorted dialog database, and agreeable responses with the recorded voices of caregivers. For the first step, the dialog that dementia patients often utter at a nursing home is first investigated. Next, the system is organized to recognize the utterances in order to meet their requests or demands. The system is then responded with recorded voices of professional caregivers. For evaluation of the system, the comparison study was carried out when the system was introduced or not, respectively. The occupational therapists then evaluated a male subjects reaction to the system by photographing his behaviors. The evaluation results showed that the dialog system was more responsive in catering to the needs of dementia patient than professional caregivers. Moreover, the proposed system led the patient to talk more than caregivers did in mutual communication.

The goal of this study is to review and define the role of nurses' who are engaged in Korea Oriental medical treatments in oriental medical hospitals. We think this study can contribute to the development of 'Korea Oriental medical science & nursing science' and 'Public health care'. A large portion of nurses's role in Korea Oriental Medicine(KOM. 한방/한의학) is assistance to doctors treatment. But besides of these role, we think there are many things that are riskless for nurses to do alone. But in present situation, few nurses in KOM. have enough knowledge to treat these medical treatments alone. So we believe this study will provide a way for nurses to participate more actively in KOM. public health care. With the goal of this study, we checked all medical treatments that have been practiced in oriental medical hospitals, and classified these treatments with some groups. And we organized a inquiry. At this inquiry, we ask 'What is the adequate role of nurses in Korea Oriental medical treatment? & What kind of treatment can nurses do?' We got 58 responses from nationwide 121 hospitals. From these response, more than half of them said nurses can do following medical treatment in the oriental medical hospital: 1. starting and ending part of following treatments; External treatments by instrument, by hydrotheraphy, by herb, by suction, moxibustion, Manipulative therapies on soft structure, Living and mind-body therapies. 2. pulling out Acupuncture. 3. boiling herb, judgement on dosing temperature, assisting in dosing, 4. assisting Diet, 5. operating from Living and mind-body therapies. 6. leading Physical training However, these results are coming out from present situation. So, after well-oriented instructions for nurses, this study will be need to carry out again. From this study, we suggest a desirable curriculum for students who study 'Korea Oriental Nursing Science.' That is to say, at basic course students take 4 subject for 6 credits. And at as an expert course, it should be dividend into Clinical Nursing Specialist in KOM., Self-care Nursing Specialist, Regimen Nursing Specialist and take 17 credits per each course.

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the extent to which end-of-life care stress, death awareness, and prior decision-making attitudes of nurses at a hospice and palliative nursing institution have an impact on end-of-life care performance. The subjects of this study were 200 nurses working at a hospice and palliative nursing institution. Data collection for this study was conducted from August 9 to September 30, 2021, using two methods: written questionnaire and internet survey. The data analysis method used Pearson's correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship between the subjects' end-of-life care stress, death awareness, prior decision-making attitude, and end-of-life care performance. Hierarchical Regression was used to identify factors affecting the subject's end-of-life care performance. The results of this study showed a significant correlation between end-of-life care performance and death awareness (r=.22, p=.002), and end-of-life care performance and prior decision-making attitude (r=.20, p=.004). And prior decision-making attitude and death awareness had a significant impact on end-of-life care performance. As death awareness and prior decision-making attitudes increased, end-of-life care performance increased, and end-of-life care stress did not appear to be a statistically significant factor influencing end-of-life care performance. In order to improve hospice nurses' ability to provide end-of-life care, intervention that takes into account the influencing factors is required.

This study examined effects of gender role conflicts and nursing professionalism on turnover intention among male nurses. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire from 106 male nurses using convenient sampling methods from November 8, 2014 to November 30, 2015. Stepwise regression showed that job satisfaction had the greatest effect on turnover intention(${\beta}=0.427$, p<.001), followed by nursing professionalism and gender role conflicts. These variables together explained 30.2% of the turnover intention in male nurses(F=16.14, p<.001). In conclusion, strategies for improving male nurses' job satisfaction and nursing professionalism and for reducing gender role conflicts should be developed to reduce turnover intention of male nurses.
