Purpose: This study was done to understand the meanings and nature of experiences of the burnout of nurses working in oncology wards. Methods: The hermeneutic phenomenology developed by van-Manen was used. The period for data collection was from November, 2006 to May, 2007. This study took place in 3 university hospitals in B & U cities. Nine nurses working in oncology wards participated. Data collection was done through individual in-depth interviews. Results: The eight most common themes demonstrated by participants from this study were 'being fed up with endless demands', 'collapsing in front of deaths', 'gasping for breath due to overwhelming tasks', 'uncontrollable suffering of body', 'gradually loosing self-esteem', 'frustration from the work world', 'beleaguered relationships', and 'desire to escape'. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that there is a need to develop a preventive burnout program for nurses working in oncology wards.

목적: 본 연구는 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 긍정심리자본과 죽음인식을 확인하고 임종간호 수행에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 임종간호 수행의 질적 수준 향상을 위한 근거자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 방법: 서울시에 소재한 일 상급종합병원에서 근무하는 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사 127명을 대상으로 자가보고 설문지를 통해 긍정심리자본, 죽음인식, 임종간호수행을 조사하였고, 기술 통계, 피어슨 상관관계 및 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 긍정심리자본과 죽음인식, 임종간호 수행 간에는 모두 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 임종간호 수행에 미치는 영향요인은 긍정심리자본의 하위 영역 중 희망, 회복탄력성, 지난 1년 이내 가족, 친척 또는 친구의 죽음 경험이었으며 임종간호 수행에 대한 설명력은 32.1%로 나타났다. 결론: 혈액종양내과 병동에 근무하는 간호사의 임종간호 수행의 질적 수준 향상을 위하여 희망과 회복탄력성을 포함한 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was performed to understand the perceived importance and performance frequencies of nursing interventions and identify the core and major interventions in oncology units. Methods: Questionnaires using 151 nursing interventions were given to 45 nurses. The performance frequency was measured through the database of the nursing process recording system for 1 year. Results: The perceived importance of the nursing interventions averaged out to be 3.5 among 4 and on average 36.5 times of nursing interventions were performed on each patient. Fifteen core nursing interventions including 'pain management' were identified and they made up 82.7% of the entire performance frequency rate. And 26 interventions including 'drug administration: Amphotericin-B' were identified as major nursing interventions and occupied 10.6% of the entire performance frequency rate. Conclusion: Since the core and the major nursing interventions were identified and these occupied 93.3% of the all nursing interventions, these results can be utilized as baseline data for establishing the guidelines and standards of nursing interventions and providing systematic education for oncology nurses in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to set the strategy that clinical nurses can efficiently cope with the stress from bereavement care, by examining and analyzing stress factors and coping methods of nurses' bereavement care. Methods: A total of 628 nurses were recruited from four university hospitals, two cancer specialized hospitals, and three public hospitals. Stress was measured using the bereavement care stress measurement tool, and coping was done using the cope with stress scale. Results: The stress level about bereavement care of the nurses working in the cancer unit was significantly higher than the level of the nurses working in the general unit. However, there was no difference of coping level between nurses working in cancer unit and general unit. Conclusions: It is important to ensure the methods that contrive to perform bereavement care efficiently by generating hospice nurses and by activating the system for nurses specialist who perform bereavement care.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand how patients experience everyday life in an isolation unit for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Method: The data were collected from 25 patients with HSCT at the isolation unit from January to March in 2008 in one general hospital in Korea. The data were collected by participant observations and ethnographic interviews and were analyzed using ethnographic method. Results: Four themes regarding environmental area emerged: 'barrier pulling up the drawbridge', 'very strange world', 'small and restricted space tied by IV and other treatment lines', and 'loud noise in a silent space.' Three themes regarding patients emerged: 'facing fear and anxiety', 'continuation of loneliness and lethargy', and 'compromising with a very long, dull, and boring time'. These themes describe how patients with HSCT suffer from continuous physical and psychosocial problems in a confined space, while endeavoring to control these problems and to search for hope for a new life. Conclusion: The results of the study provide an in-depth understanding of the experience and culture of patients in an isolation unit for HSCT. They would be used in developing practical programs to decrease patient's culture shock including fear and anxiety at isolation unit for HSCT.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the experiences of women under 40 years of age with gynecologic cancer. Methods: Semi-structured individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 Korean female patients aged 21~39 years with gynecologic cancer. The data were analyzed using Corbin and Strauss' grounded theory approach, including open coding, context analysis, and integrating categories. Results: Grounded theory analysis revealed nine categories and a core category of 'the journey to find my life after losing the life as a typical woman.' The categories that emerged as the conditions are 'Unwelcomed guest, cancer,' 'Completely devastated life as an ordinary woman,' 'Uncertain future,' 'Losing my physical characteristics as a woman,' and 'Life tied with treatments.' The actions/interactions were 'Decrease of interpersonal relationships,' 'A lonely battle to overcome alone,' and 'The power to overcome hardships.' The consequence was 'Live my own life.' Conclusion: This study contributes to the development of a substantive theory of the experience of gynecologic cancer in young women, which has been on the rise in recent years. The study's results are expected to be used as a basis for providing nursing care to help young women with gynecologic cancer adapt to their disease.

연구목적 말기 암 환자에서 우울증이 암의 경과 및 예후와 관련성이 있다고 알려져 있으며, 암 환자의 생존율과도 부적 관련성이 보고된 바 있으나 국내에서는 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 완화 병동에 입원한 말기 암 환자에서 우울 증상과 생존율의 관련성을 분석하였다. 방 법 2015년 10월부터 2018년 8월까지 한 대학병원의 완화 병동에 입원한 291명을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 진행하였으며, 대상자는 혈액종양내과 전문의가 최종적으로 진단 확정한 2개월 미만의 예상 생존 기간을 가진 말기 암 환자로 하였다. 생존기간은 완화 병동에 입원 후부터 완화 병동에서 임종 시까지의 기간으로 하였으며, 3일 이내 사망하거나 일반 병실로 전실 및 다른 병원으로 전원을 간 환자는 제외하였다. 입원 시 Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)으로 우울증을 평가했으며, 291명의 환자 중 146명(50.2 %)이 PHQ-9를 완료했으며, 145명(49.8 %)은 의식 저하 또는 환자의 거부로 인해 평가되지 않았다. 결 과 Kaplan-meier 생존 분석에서, 4주 생존율은 우울하지 않은 군(PHQ-9<10)에서 45.4%, 우울증 군(PHQ-9≥10)에서 18.7%였다. 우울증의 중증도에 따라 Cox 비례위험 모델에서, 중등도(moderate), 중증(moderately sever) 및 고도(severe)의 우울증 군의 사망 위험은 최소(minimal) 우울증 군보다 각각 2.778, 1.882 및 3.423배 높았다. 결 론 완화 병동에 입원한 말기 암 환자 중, 우울증이 있는 군에서 우울증이 없는 군보다 생존기간이 짧았다. 우울증 치료가 말기 암 환자의 생존율을 증가시키는지를 알기 위해 추가 연구가 필요하다

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 1) 죽음에 대한 태도와 대처정도, 생애 말기환자 간호인식 및 간호수행 정도를 파악하고, 2) 그들 간의 상관관계를 살펴보고, 3) 생애 말기환자 간호수행에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 함이다. 방법: 3개 대학병원의 임종 다빈도 부서인 종양내과병동, 중환자실, 응급실에 근무하는 187명의 간호사를 대상으로 하였다. 연구 도구로는 '다차원 죽음에 대한 태도 척도', '죽음에 대한 대처정도 척도', '생애 말기환자 간호에 대한 인식 척도', '생애 말기환자 간호에 대한 수행 척도'를 사용하였다. 자료는 기술 통계, 상관관계, 다중 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 결과: 첫째, 생애 말기환자 간호수행은 결혼 유무, 종교, 근무 부서, 말기환자 간호에 대한 교육 참여 여부에 따라 의미 있는 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 생애 말기환자 간호수행은 죽음에 대한 태도(P=0.014), 죽음에 대한 대처(P=0.003), 생애 말기환자 간호인식(P<0.001)과 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 생애 말기환자 간호수행이 근무부서(P<0.001), 생애 말기환자 간호인식(P<0.001)에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 생애 말기환자 간호수행이 근무 부서, 생애 말기환자 간호인식에 영향을 받으므로, 근무 부서에 따라 차별화된 생애 말기환자 간호인식을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육이 필요하다.
