신체형장애의 정신역동에 대하여 이론적 고찰을 하였다. 신체화(身體化)란 본능적 욕동을 방어하는 과정에서 생긴 갈등을 정신적으로 처리하지 못하고. 신체 증상으로 처리하는 것을 말한다(Moore 1990). Ford(1983)는 인생을 사는 방법 중의 하나라고 하였고, Dunbar(1954)는 정신 에너지가 신체증상으로 바뀌어진 것이라고 했다. Schur(1955)에 의하면, 신체화(身體化)는 갈등에 의해서 일어나는 하나의 퇴행현상이라고 한다. Schur는 이런 현상을 '재(再) 신체화(身體化)(resomatization)'라 했다. 갈등의 신체화(身體化) 반응중 가장 흔한 것이 통증(痛症)(pain)이다. 통증(痛症)은 어린시절의 경험에서 유래한 무의식적 의미를 가지고 있다. 통증(痛症)(pain)은 사랑 획득의 방법이며, 잘못한 행동에 대한 벌로 사용되기도 하고, 속죄(贖罪)의 수단이 되기도 한다. 통증(痛症)중에서도 흉통(胸痛)(chest pain)은 특별한 의미를 갖는다. 일반적으로 '가슴이 아프다'는 말은 '마음이 아프다'는 의미와 같이 쓰인다. 그리고 가슴은 마음을 상징하고 마음은 심장을 생각나게 하여 마음의 아픔을 심장의 통증(痛症)(pain)으로 인식하는 경향이 높다. Kellner(1990)는 적개심과 분노, 특히 억압된 적개심이 신체화(身體化)의 중요한 인자라고 하였다. 정신분석가인 Bacon(1953)dms '심장동통(心臟疼痛)에 대한 정신분석적 관찰'에서 정신분석 시간에 사랑받고 싶은 욕구가 좌절된 환자가 이로 인한 분노와 두려움 때문에 왼편 가슴에서 왼쪽 팔로 뻗쳐 내려가는 심장동통을 호소하는 증례(症例)들을 발표했다. 그녀는 심장동통과 관계된 욕구들이 의존욕구와 공격욕구라고 하였다. 신체형장애의 정신치료에서는 공감적인 관계와 치료적 동맹이 필수적이며, 증상시작의 시점을 중심으로 유발인자를 가려내고 증상과 유발인자의 관계를 이해하도록 돕는 것이 출발이다. 증상을 통하여 표현되고 있는 환자의 심리내적인 갈등을 발견하여 해석해 주는 것이 치료의 과정이다. 이런 기법을 기초로 치료한 세 사람의 신체형장애 증례를 소개하였다. 첫 번째 소개한 히스테리성 실어증을 가진 H군은 억압된 분노가 역동적인 원인이었다. 유발인자와 관련지어 해석을 해주었고, 이차이득을 얻은 후에 회복되었다. 두 번째 소개한 심장노이로제에 빠진 치과의사의 경우는 아버지의 사랑을 잃을 것에 대한 불안이 역동적 원인이었다. 유발인자와 관련지어 증상을 해석하였고, 아버지의 사랑을 잃을까봐 두려워하는 마음속의 아이를 보여주었고, 이제는 어른이 되었으니 자신의 주인이 되어 살라고 교육적인 해석을 듣고 호전되었다. 세 번째 부인은 심한 흉통발작으로 내과에서 의뢰되어 왔는데 의존욕구의 좌절과 이로 인한 분노, 그리고 분리 불안이 역동적 원인이었다. 이 부인은 holter monitor를 메자 증상이 극적으로 사라졌는데 이것을 계기로 자신의 중상이 심인성이라는 것을 알고부터 치료동맹이 이루어졌고, 그 후 정기적인 정신치료 시간에는 증상과 유발인자들 사이의 관계를 해석해 주었다. 이를 통하여 분리불안이 증상과 관계되어 있다는 것을 이해하고 환자는 증상이 일어나도 덜 두려워하게 되었고, 해외여행이나 사회적인 활동이 가능해졌다.

Objectives : Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) can be divided into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) related NCCP and non-GERD related NCCP. Our study was designed to examine the differences in clinical characteristics and psychological mood states between the two clinical syndromes. Methods : After some cardiologic evaluations such as treadmill exercise, coronary angiography, and echocardiography, 27 patients with NCCP were enrolled in this study. They were divided into patients with GERD related NCCP (12 patients) and those with non-GERD related NCCP (15 patients) using the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and the ambulatory 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring. Clinical characteristics such as typical reflux symptoms and psychological mood states were measured. Patients who showed scores more than 10 on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) or Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were defined as depressed or anxious group. Anxiety sensitivity Index (ASI) was also measured in all patients. All parameters were compared between patients with GERD related NCCP and those with non-GERD related NCCP. Results : The two groups showed a difference in typical reflux symptoms. Patients with non-GERD related NCCP had higher scores on the BDI, BAI and ASI than those with GERD related NCCP. Among all NCCP patients, 14 patients (51.9%) were suggested to have possible depression or anxiety disorders. Conclusion : The non-GERD related NCCP was shown to be associated with psychological mood states such as anxiety and depression. Thus, we suggest that routine measurement of psychological mood states should be necessary in the evaluation and treatment of NCCP.

Congenital coronary arterial fistulae are the most prevalent hemodynamically significant congenital coronary artery malformations. Definition of congenital coronary arterial fistula is a direct communication between a coronary artery and the lumen of one of the four cardiac chambers or coronary sinus or SVC, pulmonary artery or pulmonary vein close to the heart. It is often associated with additional congenital or acquired heart disease. A 49 year old male patient was admitted with the chief complaints of anginal pain and exertional dyspnea for 9 months. He was diagnosed as the right coronary arterial fistula combined with right coronary arteriosclerotic stenosis and old inferior myocardial infarction by cardiac evaluation. The right coronary arterial fistula was communicated between the just distal portion of acute marginal branch and coronary sinus. The operative procedure was as followings; after suture ligation of fistula opening in the coronary sinus under beating heart, coronary arterial bypass grafting with saphenous vein was performed at the just proximal portion of the posterior descending branch under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged without anginal pain at the 8th postoperative day.

The most common symptom of aortic dissection is chest pain, which is similar to acute coronary artery syndrome, making it difficult to diagnose with clinical pattern, requiring various diagnostic methods. About 10-15% of the aortic dissection patients are accompanied by changes in the ST segment by the dissecting flap of the coronary opening, which can lead to delayed diagnosis of aortic dissection, or can adversely affect the patient by administration to unnecessary drugs such as nitroglycerin, thrombolytic agent, and anticoagulants. It is difficult to distinguish aortic dissection from an acute myocardial infarction only through a 12-Lead electrocardiogram at the pre-hospital. The application of cardiac ultrasonography through medical direction to chest pain patients who show ST segmental changes in pre-hospital phase will contribute to the diagnosis of aortic dissection and the improvement of survival rate, such as anticoagulant administration, to patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Otalgia consists of primary otalgia associated with disorders of the ear itself and referred otalgia due to disorders of organs that share the same innervation with the ear. Disorders of the oral cavity and laryngopharynx served by the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves are common causes of referred otalgia. Chest pain from myocardial infarction spreads through the afferent pain pathway, especially through the sympathetic nerves in the cardiac plexus and the phrenic nerve, resulting in a typical chest pain or referred pain in the left upper extremity. However, pain spreading through the vagus nerve can theoretically cause referred otalgia. This association between the heart and ear has not been widely acknowledged, even though a referred otalgia can occasionally be the only symptom of the tragic disease, myocardial infarction, and should be taken seriously. We report a patient who complained of left otalgia as the only symptom of myocardial infarction.

We have experienced a case of ventricular septal defect due to blunt chest trauma. A 22 year old male patient was admitted due to chest pain after Motor cycle accident on July 1st,1993. On 5th hospital day, sudden onset of dyspnea was noted and auscultation represented newly developed systolic murmur. A cardiac catheterization and Left ventriculogram revealed ruptured septum at the apical portion. Because there was open wound on anterior chest wall and congestive heart failure was medically controlled, the patient was discharged for elective operation. He was readmitted on August 14th, 1993.At operation, ventricular septal defect was found in apico-posterior muscular septal area, about 2.0 x 1.5 cm in size. The defect was repaired by double velour patch with interrupted suture and ventriculotomy was closed with Teflon felt. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful and discharged 10 days postoperatively without complication. The patient have been followed up~ for 2 months. He is on functional class I with small amount of residual shunt at the ventricular septum.

Cardiac cathererization has become a routine diagnostic procedure indicated for evaluation of a wide varity of cardiac conditions. Patients are admitted to the coronary care unit after cardiac catheterization. These conscious patients report feeling uncomfortable in the CCU, but no studies have been done on the effects of bed rest, sand bags on the femoral puncture site and restricted mobility for 4 to 12 hours or longer postprocedure. The main objective of this thesis is to provide basic data to nursing on interventions which de-crease the uncomfortableness experienced by patients in the CCU following cardiac catheterization. In this phenomenological study, the various discomforts felt by the patients were collected and classified. The study subjects were a convenience sample of 29 patients who were admitted to the CCU of a general hospital in Inchon following cardiac catheterization. They were conscious, so they were able to communicate without difficulty. The data were collected over an U days period from July 21, to October 14, 1994. The subjects were interviewed using unstructured open questions and the interviews were tape recorded with the patient's permission The data were analyzed using the Van Kaams phenomenological method. Reliability and validity were exammed by two professor of nursing science, one head nurse, one staff nurse and one cardiologist. The results of the study are summarized as follows ; 1. The 129 descriptive statements by the postcardiac catheterization patients of discomfort were organized into 19 themes. 2. The 19 themes were divided into 3 categories ; physical, psychological, and environmental aspects. 3. The problems concerning the physical aspect were the discomfort of restriction of movement, dysuria, medical devices, pain in the puncture site, symptom is related to the procedure of cardiac catheterization, headache and dizziness, leg painand tingling sensation, and chest pain. The problems concerning the psychological aspect were regret resulting from dependency, economic burden, dissatisfaction with medical personnel, dissatisfaction with medical service system, anxiety about the result of the procedure, concern about the prognosis, loneliness, and concern over treatment procedure. The problems concerning the environmental aspect were influence from neighboring patients, noise, and maladaptation to environmental change. The necessity for holistic care which satisfies physical, psychological, and environmental need must be emphasized in order to solve these discomforts.

In this paper, we propose a the effects of new chest compressions in the implementation of chest compressions during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and to provide basic data for high-quality CPR. On March 12, 2019, the research target used the SPSS 22.0 Version as an experimental study using randomized cross-design of 30 emergency medical services students who completed BLS Health Care-provider. The study also showed significant differences in chest depth and average rate of pressure($34.61{\pm}1.29$, $39.40{\pm}1.08$, <0.001, $105.46{\pm}4.23$, $107{\pm}3.84$, <0.001) depending on chest compressions. There was also a significant difference in the convenience and degree of pain of chest compressions(<0.001). In addition, new chest compressions appeared close to vertical and showed statistically significant differences(p<.001). Based on the results of this study, we can see that the accuracy of the new chest compressions during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation is increased, and the depth of chest compressions is improved, improving the quality index of chest compressions. However, it will be necessary to further study the use of the new chest compressions to identify the potential for clinical use.
