  • The purpose of this study was to investigate how attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control affect nurses' pressure ulcer (PU) prevention behavior among general hospital nurses based on the theory of planned behavior. A total of 111 nurses in four general hospitals in Korea participated in this study and replied to a survey on attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and behavior regarding PU prevention. Data were analyzed with multiple regressions by all participants, education level, working department, and hospital size group. In all participants, the more positive attitude and the higher subjective norm, the more PU prevention behavior. However, in the group of 'more than bachelor degree' and 'tertiary hospital', the more clinical experience, the more behavior. In the group of 'surgical ward & intensive care unit', the higher attitude, the more behavior. In the group of 'more than bachelor degree', the higher subjective norm, the more behavior. Therefore, personalized and tailored intervention for nurses may be provided depending on nurses' education level, work department, and hospital size to enhance PU prevention behavior by means of improving nurses' attitude, subjective norm toward PU prevention.

Methods:15 nurses in general hospital participated in sociodrama directed by psychiatrist. One week after acting sociodrama, they were requested to complete ward organizational feature scale(WOFS) and maslach burnout inventory(MBI). The other twenty nurses in same ward requested to complete questionnaire without participating in sociodrama at the same time. Results : Sociodrama group(N=15) showed significantly lower score in burnout when compared to control group(N=17). Nurse/physician relationship was significantly correlated with job satisfaction and burnout. After controlling for interaction between variables by multivariate regression analysis, only job satisfaction was significant predictive factor to burnout. Conclusion : Our result suggests that the sociodrama can be effective in reducing burnout of health care workers in general hospital.

  • Patients use the senses all the time, mostly simultaneously. Senses are never turned off even patients in serious condition use some of the senses. Space is the inexhaustible source of stimuli. So far we have thought that it is impossible to come up with a set of rules and guidelines that cover all the possible situations involving senses and when there have been usually no conscious coordination between different sensorial stimuli and the comprehensive perception of space always results from the engagement of combination of senses and other inputs based on knowledge and experience. This study concerns about patients' demand analysis through senses. The reflection of patients' demand to the ward planning can develope the healing environment.
