  • Purpose: Patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) apply various palliative care as well as drugs in their daily life to alleviate symptoms. There is a need to identify the influence of these efforts and patients' psychosocial status on the relief of CIPN symptoms. This short-term prospective study investigated how prescription drugs, non-pharmacological behaviors (exercise, massage, and heat therapy), and psychological states (social support, depression, and anxiety) affected CIPN symptoms. Methods: Participants scheduled to receive postoperative platinum or taxane-based chemotherapy were enrolled consecutively. CIPN was measured with the Neurotoxicity-12 subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity-12 instrument. Data were collected three times during the 4 or 5 cycles of chemotherapy. Results: At the end of the 2nd chemotherapy cycle, 93.1% of participants reported CIPN symptoms. Multiple regression analyses showed that a heat therapy (β= -.34, p< .001), massage (β= -.21, p= .012), and walking 5 times or more per week (β= -.26, p= .021) provided relieve for CIPN symptoms. Depression (β= .19, p= .027) significantly exacerbated CIPN symptoms. Conclusion: These results suggested that a comprehensive management program that includes walking, heat therapy, massage, and mood therapy should be encouraged. Moreover, patients should be educated at chemotherapy initiation to understand appropriate interventions that can relieve CIPN symptoms.

  • This study verified the effect of a combined forest/thermal therapy (FT/TT) program on participants with depressive symptoms and smoking or alcohol dependence. The participants included 20 people in the experimental group and 18 people in the control group. The experimental group participated in the FT/TT program for 2 nights and 3 days at the National Center for Forest Healing, in Hoengseong (National Hoengseong Supchewon), and a charcoal kiln operated by the Gangwon Charcoal Farming Association. The control group carried out their daily life for the same period. Psychological, physiological, and biochemical tests were conducted to determine the effect of the program. The results showed that there were significant improvements in stress, anxiety, depression, sleep quality, sleep satisfaction, and IL-6 levels. However, no significant difference was found in the cortisol, serotonin and melatonin levels between the experimental and control groups. Thus, the FT/TT therapy had psychological and biochemical effects on individuals with depression and nicotine or alcohol dependency. Further studies should be conducted to verify the effect of forest healing in various conditions.

  • Dental injections are routinely performed and can result in pain and anxiety in patients. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in dental injections for pain management in patients undergoing dental treatment. Indexed databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Cochrane Library, were electronically searched without a time limit up to February 2024. A risk of bias evaluation was performed using the Cochrane tool. A preliminary investigation using electronic and manual methods yielded 4,920,881 manuscripts. Based on the eligibility requirements, 13 randomized control trials (RCTs) were included. Self-assessed pain was determined using the visual analog scale, Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Controllability scale, or Wong-Baker face pain scale. Eight RCTs demonstrated a notable decrease in needle pain in patients undergoing dental needle injections using PBMT. Based on current evidence, PBMT may help reduce needle pain related to dental anesthesia. Further standardized studies are needed to assess the significance of PBMT for postoperative pain in patients undergoing dental injections.

  • 목적 : 당뇨병은 인단 발생하면 질병 경과의 조절은 어느 정도 가능하나 대부분 완치가 어렵고 평생동안 치료와 자기관리론 요하는 만성질환으로, 이러한 합병증은 혈당을 가능한 정상인에 가깝도록 유지함으로서 합병증의 발생 및 진행을 억제할 수 있다. 당뇨병 진단이후 만성질환에 대한 합병증 발생에 따른 두려움, 혈당을 정상화시키기 위한 생활습관의 갑작스런 개선, 당뇨병 치료를 위한 약물 복용 및 인슐린 주사, 당뇨병성 합병증의 발생 등은 정서적 스트레스로 작용할 가능성이 크다. 이에 저자들은 자가보고식 우울증 척도를 기준으로 당뇨조절과 관련된 요인들을 확인해보고자 하였다. 방법: 2004년 3월부터 2004년 9월까지 가톨릭대학교 성빈센트병원 내분비내과에서 치료 중인 환자 60명을 대강으로 하였으며, 이 중 Beck의 우울척도(Beck Depression Inventory, BDI)점수를 기준으로 20점 이하인 군을 비우울군, 21점 이상인 군을 우울군으로 하였다. 이들에 대하여 사회 인구학적인 변인, 혈액화학 검사, 단백뇨검사, 당화혈색소검사 및 Spielberger의 상태-특성불안 척도(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI), Bagby의 감정표현불능척도(Tronto Alexithymia Scale), 고경봉의 스트레스반응척도(Stress Response Inventory)를 사용하여, 우울군과 비우울군 간의 차이론 비교하였다. 결과: 1) 대상군 60명의 평균나이는 $50.3{\pm}9.7$세(연령분포 : $24{\sim}67$세)였으며, 이중 남자가 51.7%(31명), 여자가 48.3%(29명)이었고, 평균 유병기간은 $47.1{\pm}61.5$개월, 평균 신체질량지수는 $25.2{\pm}4.3$으로 측정되었다. 총 60명중에서 비우울군은 47명(평균나이 $48.9{\pm}9.8$세, 남자 51.1%(24명), 여자 48.9%(23명))이었고, 우울군은 13명(평균나이 $55.4{\pm}7.2$세, 남자 53.8%(7명), 여자 46.2%(6명))이었다. 2) 두군 간에서 평균연령이 우울군에서 유의하게 높았으나($55.4{\pm}7.2$세 vs. $48.9{\pm}9.8$세)(p=0.031), 성별, 신체질량지수, 당뇨병 유병기간, 교육정도, 직업 등의 인구학적 변인에서 유의한 차이는 없었다. 또한 혈중 크레아틴 농도가 우울군에서 유의하게 높게 측정되었으나$(0.91{\pm}0.14\;vs.\;0.8{\pm}0.14)(p=0.26)$, 공복 시 혈당, 식후 혈당, 당화혈색소 및 단백뇨검사 등의 검사에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) 우울군과 비우울군의 스트레스 반응척도의 평균점수는 각각 $59.7{\pm}24.9,\;31.5{\pm}22.0$으로 두군 간의 유의한 차이를 보이고 있었다(p=0.000). 4) 상태불안 및 특성불안, 감정표현불능척도에서는 우울군과 비우울군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 이상의 결과에서 우울증상이 있는 당뇨환자에 있어서 당조절의 지표라고 여겨지는 혈당 및 당화혈색소 등은 악화되어있지 않았으나, 당뇨병의 장기적인 합병증과 관련되어있을 것으로 생각되는 혈중 크레아틴의 농도가 증가되어있고, 스트레스에 매우 취약한 상태라는 점이 확인되었다. 우울증이 있는 당뇨환자의 치료에 있어서 이에 대한 통합적인 접근이 필요할 것이며, 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of the 3+1 curriculum implementation of nursing college in transition from a three-year to a four-year nursing education system. Method: This study employs a triangulation study including a questionnaire survey and a focus group interview. The data collected from 34 nursing colleges were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program and the interview data(9 department chairs of nursing colleges) were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The important results are as follows; Many colleges applied academic performance as student selection standards. Factors in students' satisfaction are acquiring the bachelor's degree and a lot more relaxed college life. Factors in students' dissatisfaction are anxiety about national nursing exam and absence of college's own specialized programs. Main points of 3+1 course policy making are strengthening character education and core-fundamentals education in nursing. After qualitative contents analysis, three management-related subjects and 7 sub-subjects emerged. Three subjects were the effects of the 3+1 course running, the difficulties in management and how to run the 3+1 course effectively. Conclusion: From the results of this study, we concluded with some practical implications for the 3+1 course running for reformed nursing schools.

  • Dental treatment of mentally challenged patients under general anesthesia is a series of challenging procedures not only for dental operators but also for dental anesthesiologists. Patients presenting with uncooperative behavior often resist the perioperative management for adesthestic administration. This case report suggests oral premedication as a conjuctive method for anestheitic induction. A 26-year-old male dental patient with autism was referred to dental treatment under general anesthesia. The patient refused to enter dental clinic office and was not able to receive preoperative assessment. In the day of operation, 15 mg of midazolam was given to the patient for oral premedication prior to anesthetic induction. Ater 20 minutes, the patient presented with drowziness and was transferred to the office. Anesthestic staff were able to achieve appropriate intravenous access and mask inhalation. The patient recieved 8 hrs long dental treatment and recovered in a noncomplicated way. Oral midazolam is commonly used to reduce anxiety for combative and irritated pateints. In this case, oral midazolam sedation was used as a preanesthetic management of a highly uncoopearive patient.
