  • The purpose of this study was to explore the structure of nursing needs during labor pain as perceived by women who have given birth. The phenomenological perspective of qualitative research theory guided the approach to the study. The sample consisted of 20 women who had undergone normal labor and had delivered a healthy baby at term. Collection of data was by means of in-depth interviews conducted 1-2 days after delivery in the admission room from March to may 1998. On average, the interviews lasted for about 30 minutes. Interviews were taken with the consent of the subjects. Data were analyzed by means of Giorgi's method and categorized according to the similarities of their contents. The investigator read the data repeatedly to identify themes and categories. Four categories were : 1) a sense of security 2) self esteem 3) willingness to learn 4) a sense of comfort. Under these categories there were twelve themes. I. A sense of security : (a) presence (b) conversation (c) touching II. Self esteem : (a) praise (b) encouragement (c) treating the women with respect (d) caregiver with good character III. Willingness to learn : (a) teaching (b) information IV. A sense of comfort : (a) self controlled pain relief (b) artificially controlled pain relief (c) skillfulness of caregiver The findings should sensitize nurses to the various needs of women in labor who are under their care. Further research should focus on developing instruments to assess the nursing needs of parturients. Researchers also need to identify ways to assess women's satisfaction with nursing needs.

  • 목적: 질병이 환자에 끼치는 주관적인 영향을 반영하고, 환자의 전반적인 경과와 예후를 나타내는 지표로써 삶의 질 개념이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이때 질병은 환자 자신뿐만 아니라 가족들의 삶에도 상당한 영향을 미치게 되고, 특히 아동이 질병에 이환 되었을 경우 이러한 영향은 더욱 커지리라고 생각된다. 이에 주의력결핍 과잉 행동장애 환아의 보호자를 대상으로 삶의 질의 정도를 알아보고, 삶의 질에 영향을 주는 다른 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: DSM-IV 진단기준에 의해 주의력결핍 과잉행동장애로 진단된 아동 38명의 보호자를 대상으로 하였고, 나이와 성별을 맞춘 정상아동 16명의 보호자를 건강대조군으로 하였다. 환아 보호자군과 건강대조군에 대하여 자체 제작한 사회인구학적인 변인에 대한 설문지, 한국판 세계보건기구 삶의 질 간편형 척도(WHOQOL-BREF)를 사용하여 각각 변인의 차이를 비교하였다. 결과: 1) 한국판 WHOQOL-BREF 척도에서 전체 삶의 질 총점과 전반적인 삶의 질, 척도내의 4개의 영역인 신체적 건강 영역, 심리적 영역, 사회적 관계 영역, 환경영역에서 환아 보호자군과 대조군에서 의미 있는 차이는 없었으나, 신체적 건강 영역의 하부척도인 일상생활수행능력 척도$(3.0{\pm}0.7\;vs.\;3.6{\pm}0.7)(p=0.008)$와 심리적 영역에 해당되는 자존감척도$(2.8{\pm}0.7\;vs.\;3.3{\pm}0.7)(p=0.049)$에서 유의하게 감소되어 있었다. 2) 전체 삶의 질 총점은 교육년수가 길수록 높았다(r=0.437, p=0.007). 3) 신체적 건강 영역 (영역 1)은 교육년수가 길수록 높은 점수를 보였고(r=0.370, p=0.024), 하부 척도 중에서는 수면과 휴식 척도가 교육연수와 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.429, p=0.008). 4) 심리적 영역(영역 2)과 관련 있는 요인은 없었으나, 하부 척도인 긍정적사고 척도는 교육년수가 길수록 점수가 높았으며 (r=0.346, p=0.036), 자존감 척도(r=-0.337, p=0.039)와 사고 학습 기억능력 척도(r=-.341, p=0.036)는 보호자의 나이가 많을수록 점수가 낮았다. 5) 사회적 관계 영역(영역 3)과 관련 있는 요인은 없었으나, 하부척도 중 성적활동 척도는 교육년수가 길수록 높은 점수를 보이고 있었다(r=0.344, p=0.037). 6) 환경 영역(영역 4)은 교육년수가 길수록 점수가 높았지만(r=0.482, p=0.003), 환아의 나이가 많을수록 낮은 삶의 질 수준을 보고하였다(r=0.328, p=0.044). 한편 하부 척도 중에서는 신체적 안전 척도(r=-0.414, p=0.010), 거주환경 척도(r=-0.429, p=0.007), 새로운 정보나 기술의 취득 척도(r=-0.382, p=0.018), 의료서비스 및 사회보장서비스 척도(r=-0.351, p=0.031)가 환아의 나이와 음의 상관관계를 보였으며, 신체적 안전척도는 보호자의 나이가 많을수록 삶의 질이 낮음을 보고하였다(r=-403, p=0.012). 한편, 새로운 정보나 기술의 취득척도(r=0.406, p=0.013), 여가활동 척도(r=0.464, p=0.004), 교통 척도(r=0.363, p=0.027)은 교육연수가 길수록 높은 점수를 보고하였다. 결론: 주의력결핍 과잉행동장애 환아의 보호자가 느끼는 주관적인 삶의 질은 건강대조군에 비해 나쁘지 않았다. 그러나 환아의 나이가 많을수록, 보호자의 교육연수가 낮을수록 스스로 느끼는 삶의 질의정도가 낮았으므로 이에 대한 관심이 필요할 것이다.

  • This study was designed and undertaken to identify the degree of burden of family caregivers for patients who had a stroke as the burden is related to the ADL of the patients. The data were collected from October 3rd, 1997 to March 20th, 1998. The subjects in this study were 126 caregivers as family members and 126 patients with strokes who were hospitalized in two oriental medicine hospitals and four general hospitals located in Taegue and Pusan City. The questionnaires consisted of questions regarding burden(25 items) of caregivers and ADL (25 items) of patients with strokes. Data were analyzed using percentages, mean, t - test and ANOV A done with the SPSS program. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The score for family caregiver's burden was higher than the middle score. 2. The family caregivers' age had statistically significant differences in the degree of burden. 3. The age and sex of patients affected the burden of caregivers significantly. That is, caregivers felt more of a burden when caring for the patient group in their sixties than in any other age group and female patients created more of a burden than male patients. 4. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of caregiver burden according to the level of patient ADL.

  • This study investigates differences by type of caregiving using data on three groups of caregivers, 177 from home stay situations, 189 from day care centers, and 138 from nursing homes. First, the result shows that characteristics of both caregivers and elders differ by type of caregiving. Second, caregivers in the home stay situation have the highest caregiving burden of the three groups. Third, from examination of the related variables, the caregiving burden of home stay caregivers is affected by family income, caregivers' health, type of job, and whether or not the elder has symptoms of dementia. Also, the study reveals that emotional services for elders reduce the aggravation of family relations and economic burden, but that instrumental services highly increase economic burden. It reveals that caregivers of elders in day care centers, especially those who are in bad health, are more likely to experience feelings of constriction, aggravation of family relations and economic burden. On the other hand, caregivers who receive more emotional services have better experiences in family relations, including relations with the elder. In case of the elders of nursing homes, if the main caregiver is a daughter-in-law, aggravation of family relations is higher than if the main caregiver is a spouse. Finally, the caregiver's burden is affected by their own health and income, and by whether the elder has symptoms of dementia or stroke.

  • Background: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of male spouse caregivers of breast cancer patients in China, assess their quality of life (QOL), and investigate the influencing factors. Materials and Methods: A total of 243 breast cancer patient-spouse caregiver dyads were recruited from four hospitals in Shanxi and Anhui province of China. A cross-sectional design was applied to collect data and the Chinese version of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) was used to measure caregivers' QOL, and the Chinese version of M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-C) was applied to measure patient symptom severity and interference. Pearson's correlation was used to examine the correlations between caregiver burden and QOL. The multiple regression analysis was used to determine the most predictive factors influencing QOL. Results: The scores of all SF-36 scales were above 50.0, which were much lower than that of general mainland Chinese males. Mental QOL was significantly worse than physical QOL. Spouses demographic characteristics, caregiving-related variables and patient symptoms were related to spouse QOL. Caregiver burden has a negative relationship with QOL. Conclusions: A decrease in life events and patient symptoms, as well as increase in spouse sleeping time and family income, ought to improve QOL.

  • Purposes: The purposes of this study were to identify factors related to burden and well-being in primary caregivers of patients who have had a stroke and examine the correlation between burden and well-being of the caregivers. Methods: Between April 2006 to June 2007 data were collected using self-report questionnaires and interviews with 85 primary caregivers of stroke patients in C University Hospital. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test and Pearson's correlation with SPSSWIN 15.0. Results: Factors related to burden of primary caregivers were sex and activities of daily living of the patients, and age, education level and satisfaction with income of the caregivers. The factors related to well-being of primary caregivers were sex of patients, and age and education level of caregivers as well as cohabitation with the patient. A negative correlation was found between burden and well-being of the caregivers (r= -.393, p<.001). Conclusion: These results indicate a need to develop a nursing intervention program for caregivers and education program for other family members to reduce caregiver burden. These programs should lead to improvements in the well-being of the caregiver.

  • Purpose : This systematic review was conducted to identify which dyadic intervention could be implemented for heart failure patient-family caregiver dyads to improve patient and/or their family caregivers outcomes. Method : Eleven databases were searched from their inception to July, 2021. This review considered any randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effectiveness of intervention including heart failure patient-family caregiver dyads. Two reviewers independently evaluated the methodological quality using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias and extracted details of the included studies. The studies included in this review were not suitable for meta-analysis and therefore the results were presented as a narrative summary. Results : Six studies including 900 dyads were included and mainly primary family caregiver of patients was spouse. Majority of dyadic intervention were focused on psychoeducational intervention excepting one study on mobile health intervention. All studies included in this review focused on patients' outcomes compared to family caregivers' outcomes and dyadic outcomes. Individual interventions improved quality of life among heart failure patients and their family caregivers in two articles. The overall quality of selected articles was low. Conclusions : This study provides moderate support for the use of a dyadic intervention to improve quality of life among heart failure patients and their family caregivers. More rigorous high-quality studies investigating interventions to meet the needs of patient and family caregivers in heart failure care are needed.

  • The aim of this study was to determine the factors contributing to the barrier of dental treatment for special needs patients perceived by the main caregivers of the patients. A questionnaire was developed with three parts: patient-related factors, caregiver-related factors, and factors for treatment barriers. Patient- and caregiver-related factors were analyzed for correlations with the barrier factors. Fisher's exact test and Chi-square test were used at the level of 0.05. A total of 52 caregivers (mean age [SD]=50.2 [11.5] years) for the patients with intellectual and cognitive disabilities (mean age [SD]=38.9 [21.3]) responded to the questionnaires. Oral hygiene status, need for assistance in tooth brushing, and cooperation for tooth brushing were correlated with the level of treatment cooperation of the patients (p<0.05). The above three factors were also correlated with the treatment barrier despite patients presenting oral symptoms (p<0.05). Two thirds of the caregivers felt the treatment cost as severe or a considerable financial burden. For patients, insurance types and need for assistance in tooth brushing, and for caregivers, education levels and financial status were significant factors contributing to financial burden (p<0.05). There were background factors of the patients and their caregivers associated with access to dental treatment for special needs patients. Deficient cooperative skills and financial burdens were the main obstacles to treatment access. Tooth brushing skills and oral hygiene status can be proxy measures to cooperative ability for dental treatment.
