흉선 유암종 또는 흉선의 신경내분비 종양은 매우 드문 질환이며 재발이나 전이가 많아 예후가 좋지 못하다. 43세 남자 환자로 우측 흉부의 통증과 불편감으로 내원하였다. 단순 흉부 촬영상 우측 전종격동에 $7{\times}8$cm 크기의 종양을 발견하였으며 추가검사 후 수술적 절제를 시행하였다. 절제된 종괴는 조직학적, 면역조직화학적, 전자현미경적 소견상 흉선 낭종을 동반한 흉선의 비정형 유암종으로 진단 되었다. 수술 후 재발이나 전이 소견 없이 3개월째 외래 관찰중이다. 저자들은 흉선 낭종을 동반한 비정형 흉선유암종 1례를 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of e position change upon reported discomfort and bleeding complications during bed rest following a liver biopsy. Methods: The research design for this study was a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. Twenty-nine participants were assigned to the treatment group and twenty seven participants were in the comparison group. Following the biopsy, the treatment group participants had a position change from the supine without compression for two hours followed by compressive right lateral position for two hours. The comparison group maintained continuously the compressive right lateral position with sandbag for four hours. Results: There were statistically significant differences in reported discomfort between the treatment and comparison groups following the intervention. No significant differences were found in bleeding complications between the two groups. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the positional change is an effective nursing intervention in reducing discomfort without risk of bleeding following a liver biopsy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music therapy on the anxiety and distress in patients taking thoracentesis. Methods: The quasi-experimental design was used with a nonequivalent control group pre-post test time series. Participatns were divided into the experimental (n=20) or control group (n=20). Music therapy was given to the experimental group with a CD that was made by the investigator by themes. The research tools included the VAS Anxiety Inventory, and the Subjective and Objective Distress Inventory. Data were analyzed using SPSS 14.0 program by ${\chi}^2$-test and t-test. Results: There were statistically significant differences in state (VAS) anxiety and subjective distress between two groups. Conclusion: The music therapy was effective in reducing the anxiety and subjective distress of patients taking thoracentesis. In the future, music therapy will be useful in the field of nursing as a nursing intervention to alleviate stress and enhance well-being.

Purpose: This study was to compare the effects of early ambulation to usual care of late ambulation in patients with transarterial chemoembolization on back pain, discomfort, and puncture site complications. Methods: A nonequivalent control pretest-posttest design was used. Total 40 patients were recruited from a gastrointestinal unit of an urban general hospital in Seoul, South Korea. The experimental group began to ambulate after 4 hours of bed rest with a compression bandage after receiving transarterial chemoembolization. The control group stayed in bed with a compression bandage overnight. Results: Back pain was not significantly different between the two group. The experimental group reported significantly lower discomfort than the control group. There was no incidence of bleeding complications on puncture site between two groups. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that early ambulation with four hours of bed rest after femoral sheet removal did not cause bleeding complications compared to the usual care and even decreased patients' level of discomfort due to bed rest. Repetitive research on the effect of short bed rest is warranted for its clinical utilization.

양안시 이상의 문제를 연구하기 위하여 굴절 검사와 양안시 검사를 실시하였다. 조절과 양안시에 문제가 있는 대상자들은 굴절 이상 교정 외에도 다른 추가적인 처방이 필요하였다. 그 중 폭주 과다의 문제를 가지고 있는 2명의 대상자를 정하여 완전 교정된 안경, 또는 근방에서(+)ADD를 처방하고 4주 동안 시기능 훈련을 실시하였다. 4주 후 근업시 환자들의 불편감은 많이 해소되었으며, 타각적 검사 값들도 개선되었다. 임상에서 광학적 교정과 함께 시기능 훈련을 양안시 이상의 치료에 적극적으로 적용하고, 향후 연구를 통해 다양한 양안시 이상치료에 시도해도 좋은 결과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of postoperative oral care using cold therapy on nausea, vomiting and oral discomfort after laparoscopic myomectomy. Method: The study was conducted with an experimental group (n=29) and a control group (n=35) sampled from patients admitted to a women's hospital in a metropolitan city in Korea. Data were collected between October 10, 2011 and January 31, 2012 and analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and repeated measure ANCOVA with SPSS/WIN 19.0. Results: After the intervention, postoperative nausea (p<.001) and oral discomfort for patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than in the control group. There were significant differences in the presence of vomiting between both groups at 12 hours (p<.001) and 24 hours (p=.003) after leaving the recovery room. Conclusion: Oral care using cold therapy was found to be an effective nursing intervention for reducing postoperative nausea, vomiting and oral discomfort up to 24 hours after recovery in patients with laparoscopic myomectomy.

가철성 국소의치의 장착 과정을 적절하게 시행하였다면 장착 후의 문제들을 최소화할 수 있으나, 그럼에도 불구하고 기능, 심미, 발음상의 문제나 불편감 등의 문제들이 발생할 수 있다. 가철성 국소의치 장착 후 1주일 이내에 점검을 위한 약속이 이루어져야 한다. 환자들에게 의치를 사용하는 동안 겪었던 문제들에 대해 질문하고 구강조직과 의치를 철저히 검사해야 하며, 검사 과정 동안에 조직 손상 등을 발견할 수도 있다. 그리고 그 원인을 진단하고 적절한 치료를 시행하여 이러한 문제들을 해결하도록 해야 한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of foot reflexzone massage on state - anxiety and discomfort of ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: A quasi experimental design with a non equivalent control group and non synchronized design was used. The experiment was conducted from October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004. The subjects consisted of 40 patients admitted to C University Hospital. Twenty subjects were assigned to the experimental group and received foot reflexzone massage everyday for 3 days. The other 20 subjects were in the control group and received routine care. Foot reflexzone massage was done on both feet of the subjects for 30 minutes for 3 days using standard protocol. The 'State-Anxiety Inventory' developed by Spielberger was used to measure the degree of state-anxiety. Discomfort was assessed using the 'Symptom Distress Scale' of McCorkle and Young. Data was analyzed by a SAS program using t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank sum test and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results: State-anxiety and discomfort of subjects receiving foot reflexzone massage were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: These findings indicate that foot reflexzone massage could be an effective nursing intervention for relieving state-anxiety and discomfort in ovarian cancer patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on body temperature, shivering, and perceived thermal comfort of web-based evidence-based practice guideline for patients undergoing gastrectomy. Methods: Eighty patients scheduled for gastrectomy were recruited and assigned to the control or experimental group by sequential order. Before collecting data from the experimental group, a systematic educational program on evidence-based guidelines was provided to the nurses as well anesthesiologists. Data were analyzed using t-test and repeated measured ANOVA. Results: The experimental group showed higher body temperature from the induction of anesthesia until four hours after surgery compared to the control group. In addition, the levels of thermal comfort as well as satisfaction with thermal management were significantly higher in the experiment group. Conclusion: Use of evidence-based guidelines was effective in maintaining body temperature, lowering sensitivity to shivering, and promoting perceived thermal comfort. Therefore, adoption of evidence-based interventions in nursing practice is recommended.
