This study was to identify the effective factors on the Depression in Diabetic patients with hypoglycemia. This study used 119 questionnaires from Diabetic patients with hypoglycemia in B city to collect data from October 1, 2015 to March 15, 2016. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 program using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test. Pearson's correlation coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The Depression in Diabetic patients with hypoglycemia showed a positive correlation with Non-Compliance of Treatment(r=42, p<.001), a negative correlation with Family support(r=-.38, p<.001). According to the result of multiple regression analysis, the significant factors influencing depression were Family support(${\beta}=-.29$, p<.001), Drug therapy(${\beta}=.21$, p=.020), Dietetic therapy(${\beta}=.23$, p=.014), Monthly average income over 3,000,000won (${\beta}=-.20$, p=.014), Monthly average income 2,000-3,000 thousand(${\beta}=-.17$, p=.033), it was explained by 30.0%. Based on these findings, it is suggested to develop and apply a family support program to reduce the depression of diabetic patients with hypoglycemia.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of ethyl chloride spray during arteriovenous fistula puncture on pain, depression, and noncompliance in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study used a randomized controlled trial design on adults with chronic renal failure who received hemodialysis treatment through arteriovenous fistula. Ethyl chloride spray was applied to 20 subjects in the experimental group during arteriovenous fistula puncture, and a placebo spray was applied to 20 subjects in the control group; the intervention was conducted 12 times for 4 weeks. A total of 33 participants were used in the final analysis. The outcomes were measured using the face pain rating scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and modified United States Renal Data System tools. Results: As a result of the pre-homogeneity test between the two groups, it was confirmed that the sexes were not homogeneous. Therefore, sex was treated as a covariate and analyzed. Puncture pain was significantly reduced in the experimental group (p<.001). However there was no significant difference between the groups in depression and noncompliance. Conclusion: Ethyl chloride spray was convenient and effective pain management intervention for both hemodialysis patients and medical staff.
