Method: Data was collected from 127 nursing students in February, 2008. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS/Win 12.0 program, using t-test, ANOVA, paired t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: The total mean scores were; anxiety 53.22/80, self-esteem 29.51/40 and self-efficacy in 59.76/85. Self-esteem and self-efficacy level were significantly different according to the level of Fundamentals practice and satisfaction with nursing as a major satisfaction(p=.001). The effect of the orientation program on clinical practice were a significantly increased in self-esteem and self-efficacy (p=.000). But in terms of anxiety, the effect was the opposite. So study to identify other factors causing anxiety and strategies to reduce the anxiety need to be considered.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore clinical nurses' experience of positive organizational culture in order to provide data for effective strategies of acquisition and retention of competent nurses. Methods: In this qualitative study, interviews with four focus groups of four to six nurses, 19 in total, were held. Compositional factors in groups included clinical experience, age, work place, and position. Interviews proceeded until data were saturated. Results: Fifteen sub-themes, categorized into six themes, emerged. Positive organizational culture themes included "Helping nurses to be organization members", "Allowing nurses to communicate with one another", "Helping nurses take an initiative to lead organization", "Having competent leader take charge of organization", "Enabling nurses to achieve organizational changes", and "Leading nurses to accomplish organizational performance." Conclusion: Results indicate that positive organizational culture is related to increases in occupational satisfaction and decreases in turnover through supportive organizational culture which makes it possible to reinvest expenses required for training new members to promoting quality growth in the organization and the prestige of professional nurses. In order to improve occupational satisfaction and sustained growth in nurses, it is necessary to provide nurses with positive work environments and require members to make active efforts leading to strategic changes.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to compare the effects of OSCE method and traditional evaluation method on nursing skills performance of students for the fever client. Method: The study was designed as a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group post test design with two classes of sophomore students attending fundamentals of nursing courses at one baccaleureate nursing school located in a metropolitan Seoul area. Control group was evaluated by using a traditional method and the experimental group was evaluated by using the OSCE method. Data were collected from April, 2001 to November, 2002. There were 35 students in the OSCE method group, 39 students in the control group. Data analysis was done using SPSS WIN 11.0. Result: The results showed that the students in the OSCE method group did significantly better in clinical nursing skills performance than the students in the traditional method group. And the OSCE method group showed significantly higher satisfaction score in the evaluation method than the control group. Conclusion: The OSCE method is an effective in evaluating clinical nursing skills performance for student nurses. It is necessary to explore more reliable ways to compare the evaluation method by the same student. Also, it is recommended to replicate similar studies in nursing education.

Purpose: To establish a database for breast cancer patients to save and manage clinical data and to preliminarily investigate its clinical application. Materials and Methods: Information on breast cancer patients hospitalized in our department from 2008.01 to 2013.01 were input into our breast cancer management system. SPSS 16.0 software was used as a convenient reference to evaluate the accuracy of the newly built database. Results: A database of 2403 breast cancer patients was successfully established. Information in the database clearly displayed capabilities of storage, addition, retrieval, statistical analysis and other functions. As the continuously updated database showed, the distribution of age, sex, nationality, allergy history, pausimenia and marriage of patients was identical to that achieved by SPSS analysis, indicating reliable and accurate data analysis. Conclusions: The described database is easy and convenient to operate and manage, and should prove suitable for application in clinical research and treatment.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to review the safety and durability of aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coiling of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms with small parent vessels (< 2.0 mm). Methods : Retrospective review of all ruptured aneurysm treated with stent assisted endovascular coiling between March 2005 and March 2009 at our institution was conducted. We report 11 cases of the Neuroform stent placement into cerebral vessels measuring less than 2.0 mm in diameter (range, 1.3-1.9 mm) in anterior cerebral artery. Clinical follow-up ranged from 3 to 12 months and imaging follow-up was performed with cerebral angiography at 6 months and 12 months after discharge. Results : Complete occlusion was achieved in 10 patients, and a remnant neck was evident in one. No stent displacement or no dislodgement occurred during stent placement. There was no evidence of thromboembolic complication, arterial dissection and spasm during procedure. We performed follow-up angiography in all patients at 6 months and/or 12 months from the first procedure. The follow-up angiographic data showed successfully results except one in-stent stenosis case. All patients improved clinical performances except one patient with severe vasospasm who showed poor clinical condition initially. Conclusion : We have safely and successfully treated 11 vessels smaller than 2.0 mm in diameter with self-expanding stents with good short and intermediate term results. More clinical data with longer follow-ups are needed to establish the role of stent-assisted coiling in ruptured aneurysms with small parent vessels.

제 1상 임상시험의 주목적은 신약 후보 물질의 독성을 평가하여 부작용 및 안전하게 투여할 수 있는 약물의 적정한 용량인 최대허용용량의 추정이다. 기존에 최대허용용량을 추정하는 방법에는 표준방법 (Storer, 1989; Korn 등, 1994) 그리고 NM방법 (Lee와 Kim, 2012) 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 많은 피험자들이 낮은 용량에 많이 할당되는 점을 보완하고 기존의 최대허용용량 추정법보다 적은 수의 피험자로 실험하기 위해서 기존 최대허용용량 추정법을 수정한 멈춤 규칙을 적용시킨 추정법을 제안하였다. 기존의 방법들과 새롭게 제시한 방법을 모의실험을 통하여 비교하였다.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the level of knowledge, self-confidence, and intention of basic life support (BLS) and identify the reason why clinical nurses lack confidence to initiate BLS at the cardiac arrest scene. Method: A cross-sectional survey was used with questionnaires which authors developed; a BLS knowledge questionnaire and a tool for measuring the level of self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. The subjects consisted of 396 nurses by convenient sampling from ten small to medium sized hospitals in Korea. Data were collected from March to August, 2008. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program with t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The percentile score of BLS knowledge was 40.6%, self-confidence 62.1%, and intention 73.0%. Clinical career rather than BLS knowledge has a significant effect on increasing the self-confidence and intention of performing BLS. A major reason for not performing BLS was lack of confidence in operating an AED (automatic external defibrillator). Conclusion: An effective and continuous training program especially including AED for CPR should be provided with clinical nurses to increase self-confidence and intention of performing BLS and to improve the survival of cardiac arrest patients in the hospital.
