The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music intervention programs for children with ADHD in Korea through systematic review and meta-analysis. For this, nine researches of 1,856 articles published from 2000 to 2019 were reviewed which are experimental studies with the control groups in accordance with selection criteria. As the result of systematic review on four criteria, two or more in each of musical activities, intervention goals, and evaluation tools were employed in most of the nine studies, and there were frequently found studies on sociality and attentiveness. As the result of meta-analysis, there were shown that the overall effect scored medium effect size, and attention deficit and sociality marked low, while problem behavior did medium effect size. It is meaningful that this study showed the importance of using standardized evaluation tools in music intervention for children with ADHD, and it could be used as basic data to develop music intervention programs for them,

The purpose of this study was to examine the anxiety, depression, uncertainty, social support, and QoL and to identify the factors influencing QoL in women with thyroid cancer. A descriptive survey was performed from April to October in 2014 with self-reporting questionnaires for depression, uncertainty, social support, and QoL. Participants were 106 women with thyroid cancer who visited a outpatient department of endocrine surgery in a hospital. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. As the results of this study, the mean scores of global QoL were moderate. Anxiety was significantly influenced physical functioning, emotional functioning, and social functioning. Uncertainty was significantly influenced physical functioning and cognitive functioning. Therefore, from the results of this study, nursing practice focused on anxiety and uncertainty relieving care for female thyroid cancer patients to improving QoL.

Meta-analysis was conducted to examine effects of computer based virtual reality on clinical rehabilitation in Korea. The data were analyzed as the ICF categorizations. The papers used in this study were located through domestic data search engines. The fifteen studies were selected among the studies published between 1995 and 2014. The PEDro score was used for qualitative assessment. The sample size and the average and standard deviations of pre and post tests were analyzed through a meta-analysis. The PEDro scores of the selected studies were 6 points higher and 338 participants were involved. The effect size of combined data was 1.030, activities and participation 1.120, sensory function 1.199 as indicated by a "large effect size" and the effect size of mental function was 0.557 as indicated by a "medium effect size." As a result, virtual reality program as a adjunctive therapeutic methods has proven the effect. In particular, the effects were demonstrated in activities and participation, sensory function. However there was no evidence of the effectiveness of mental function.

This research analyzes the actual condition and trend in 119 research papers about sadness mediation program for senior citizens, which were published from 1990 to 2014, to find an expansive way for seniors. And the result is as in the following: publish year of subjects is 2010 to 2014, research plan was done by experimental-control group plan, and we quoted the most of the yardstick from foreign research, in the case of the seniors stays in their own house. Art therapy is the most common way of mediation, and most programs were done less than 10 times, once in a week, and less than 60 minutes in once. And variable of efficacy is verified in the order of physical ability, self-worth, and cognitive function. As the first research that analyzes the trend of sadness mediation program for senior citizens, this research is expected to help setting the direction of future research. that is related to convergence.

It was conducted to investigate effects of the group art-therapy for abused children with depressed, anxiety, negative self image. The subjects were 4 children at OOcity OOgroup home. They lived at group home for 4years 5months with any treatment. Group art therapy had been conducted once a week from Sept. 2013 through Aug. 2014. There were 48sessions and each session lasted 60 minute. To verify the effects of Group art therapy(art activity, works & contents), researchers recorded the subjects' emotional reactions, attitudes, behaviors with the therapeutic purpose in each session and measured CDI, STAIC(TAIC, SAIC), Self-IQYA Korean version Inventory for validity. Pre test(Aug. 2013) & post-test(Aug. 2014) were executed. To do a sum of test reliability, the SPSS 21.0 program is used. The results were: firstly, abused children expressed their emotional state in the works, they changed behaviors and improved relations with friends.

본 논문은 만성질환 환자를 위한 인체 삽입형 시스템을 구현하기 위해서 의료용 통신 기술을 사용한 생체신호의 송수신 및 제어가 가능하며, 무선전력전송 기술을 통해 반영구적 사용을 가능하게 하는 IT융합형 인체 삽압형 시스템 플랫폼 원천기술을 개발하고 생리기능(혈당, 혈압, 심장박동 등) 감시가 가능한 이식형 융복합 시스템 기술에 관하여 분석하였다. 인체삽입형 생리기능 자동감시 시스템은 사후진단 및 치료에서 능동적인 조기진단과 예방으로 진화하고 있으며 신기술 및 융합 기술이 의료기기의 응용 범위를 더욱 확대하는 방향으로 가고 있다. 미국/유럽 등 선진국이 대부분의 시장을 차지하고 있으므로 국내개발 성공시 수입대체 효과뿐만 아니라 기술적 격차 극복을 통한 세계 시장 진출도 가능하다. 이 분야는 세계적 경쟁력을 가진 국내 IT 산업과의 강한 시너지를 통하여 복합 기술형 첨단 의료기기의 기술경쟁력을 제고하고, 진입장벽이 높은 미래 첨단산업 시장 진출에 의한 국가전략산업 육성에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between psychosocial factors and therapeutic flow in stroke patients and identify the factors influencing therapeutic flow. Total 168 stroke patients from 15 hospitals were measure for depression, stress, self-efficacy, rehabilitation motivation and therapeutic flow. Factors that affect the therapeutic flow correlation as s result of negatively correlated with depression(r=-.349, p<.001), stress(r=-.290, p<.001), self-efficacy(r=.528, p<.001), rehabilitation motivation(r=.186, p<.05) was found in the positively correlated. Finally the effect on therapeutic flow in stroke patients variables affecting self-efficacy(${\beta}=.443$, p<.001) and depression(${\beta}=-.155$, p<.05) were the order of analysis. These result demonstrate that the therapeutic flow of storke patients was a significant correlation on psychosocial factors, future study will continue to be needed.
