The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of bowel preparation convergence program for colonoscopy. This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 75 clients, who were scheduled for colonoscopy, was included. The experimental group was given bowel preparation convergence program including audiovisual education, walking-exercise and telephone counseling. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire and colonoscopy monitoring and were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 program. The experimental group reported significantly higher compliance of taking bowel preparation agents and test satisfaction(p=.002; p=.001), lower test difficulty and test discomfort than those of the control group(p=.002; p=.001). There were significant differences in level of bowel cleansing and test time required except compliance of diet restriction between groups(p<.001; p=.001; p=.108). This findings indicate that bowel preparation convergence program can be an effective nursing intervention for colonoscopy. The convergence intervention for diagnostic test is needed to be developed in clinical practice.

This study is a literature analysis study that analyzed program intervention research papers to understand the characteristics of lifestyle intervention programs to prevent cardiovascular disease. The final 18 papers were selected by applying search terms such as "cardio-cerebrovascular disease" and "intervention" through electronic databases such as Pubmed. As for the criteria for selecting program participants in the study, physiological criteria were mainly used, and there were many programs that mediated physical activity and eating habits. Education was the most widely used intervention type, and there were many studies that combined and applied several interventions. During the intervention period, long-term interventions averaged more than 22 weeks, and biophysical indicators were most frequently used as effect indicators for measuring the intervention effect. Through this study, it is suggested that environmental and social support is needed to develop intervention programs considering the interrelationship of various lifestyle habits and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the main results of the nursing intervention program for reducing depression in menopausal women in Korea and to investigate the effects of systematic review of literature. Research methods were searched for RISS, KMbase, KoreaMed and KISS as domestic databases and limited to domestic papers published in last 10 years from 2006 to 2015. The analysis of 14 articles showed that exercised therapy among the various nursing intervention programs provided significant effects on reducing depression. The intervention methods provided oral education, demonstration training, and practical training, 6 sessions, 60 sessions per session, 5~10 weeks for intervention, and 6~12 weeks for intervention. Depression in menopausal women is not a temporary or short-term emotional state. So it is necessary to provide appropriate exercises that can be applied for their own, regardless of daily life.
