본 프로젝트는 1993년 6월부터 9월까지 태국의 International Community Maternal and Child Health Nursing Training Program에서 이루어진 것으로 17개국 참석자 중 8개국 참가자들이 태국의 권케지역(태국 북동부)중 한 농촌지역을 택해 1개월간의 가정방문과 Group Work을 통해 지역사회 진단후 진단내용을 근거로 사업계획을 시행한 것이다. 조사지역 -Ban Nang Loob Village-은 우리나라의 일차보건의료를 수행하는 가장 말단지역인 이(里)에 해당하며, 이 중 5세 미만의 영유아가 있는 어머니들을 조사대상으로 하였다. 조사가구는 75가구였으며, 자료수집도구는 일반적인 특성, 환경상태, 지역사회 조직, 모자보건에 대한 지식, 태도, 실천과 관련된 내용으로 총 52개 문항이었다. 자료수집은 면접과 관찰을 통해 이루어졌으며 면접은 통역을 위해 태국 권켄대학의 간호대학 교수들과 함께 시행하였다. 본인이 참석한 그룹에서는 모자보건사업 중 모성건강에 관한 조사만 이루어졌으므로 이 지면에 소개된 프로젝트는 모성건강문제에 국한된다. 본 조사에서는 3가지 모성 건강과 관련된 문제가 나타났는데 이를 문제의 정도, 심각성, 예방가능성, 지역사회의 관심정도로 점수화하여 총계를 낸 후, 가장 커다란 문제점으로 '모성의 임신과 산욕기 동안의 합병증에 대한 지식부족'이 제기되어 이를 기초로 Master Plan, Operational Plan, Time Frame, Budget이 제시되었다. 본 프로젝트에서 제시된 사업계획은 담당지역의 Health Center, 권켄 간호대학, 지역사회 주민조직의 협조로 지역주민의 모자보건사업 활성화를 위해 실제로 시행될 계획이다.

Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The subjects were recruited from a community health center in D metropolitan city and were assigned to the experimental or control group. Weekly 50-minute session intervention was delivered to the experimental group over 12 weeks. 8 weeks and 12weeks after intervention, the changes in cognitive function, depression, and IADL in the groups were measured and compared. Data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and post-hoc test with Bonferroni correction using SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: When compared with their counterparts (n=15), the elders in the experimental group (n=12) showed significant improvement in cognitive function and depression at week 12. The mean scores of IADL at week 12 were not significantly different between the groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Kynesio-taping therapy (KTT) on chronic joint pain among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A pre-experimental design was used. KTT was employed on 23 consenting community older adults visiting a community center. KTT was applied on the painful joint for 3-4 days. Pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale. Results: Frequent locations of pain were waist (43.8%), knee (28.1%), shoulder (12.4%), and head (9.4%). Time of severe pain during the day was mid-day (47.8%), early morning (21.7%), and evening (13.0%). Pain relief management included hospital visitation (65.2%), medication (17.4%), and application of a poultice (13.0%). Pain scores were significantly decreased after KTT compared to pretest scores acquired prior to taping (p<.001). Conclusions: KTT is a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and effective form of pain relief in older adults with chronic joint pain. Clinical practitioners can consider KTT as a complementary method of chronic pain control in older adults.

This descriptive exploratory study was conducted to analyze the results of developmental screening test using DDST and the follow-up diagnostic evaluation in one public health center, and to evaluate the feasibility of developmental screening in nursing. Samples were 373 children under 6 years who visited the public health center. Mothers' satisfaction on the developmental clinic was also determined. Summaries of the results were as follows:v 1. 0.5% of children in height and 1.9% of children in weight were included in below 3 percentile of Korean children's growth chart, but none of them showed developmental delay. 2. The results of DDST showed 92.1% of subjects were classified as normal, 3.7% as abnormal, and 4.2% as questionable among 354 children. 3. Most of children who showed the abnormal development at the first DDST were confirmed having the developmental delay at the follow-up diagnostic evaluation. On the other hand, most of children who showed the questionable development at the first DDST revealed having the normal development in follow-up screening test. 4. The result of the DDST was influenced by the birth order of the subject and delivery type. 5.The mean satisfaction score by mothers on developmental clinic was 4.35 in 5 Likert scale. In conclusion, we could certain the feasibility and usefulness of developmental screening in community and child care nursing. To fulfil the increasing needs of mothers with infants on the child development, nurses have to provide anticipatory guidance and parent education in addition to the developmental screening test. We hope to expand the developmental screening in nursing field not only of clinical setting but also of community.
