Our medical care system is trying to diversify in order to meet the client's needs, and to adjust to a medical environment which is changing very rapidly. Because current nursing theory and practice focus on holistic care, health care management, education, and research, contrary to the traditional emphasis on only assisting a physician, more autonomy and specialization for the implementation of nursing are required. Considering these trends and actual needs, the category of clinical nurse specialist should be established as soon as possible. In order to develop strategies for implementing this new professional specialty, the authors conducted a field survey and literature review of the current system in Korea. As a result, various obstacles and constraints were discovered as follows : 1) There are few accredited educational programs for the training of CNS's. 2) Several hospitals already have staff designated as clinical nurse specialist (CNS) even though the term CNS is not yet standardized or adopted in nationwide. 3) The role of the CNS is not clearly understood by the medical societies, or even nursing societies. A nurse who works in specific nursing areas such as central supply, kidney dialysis, intensive care, coronary care, etc. for a long time, considers herself /himself a CNS. Based upon the above findings, the following alternatives are recommended. 1) The role of the CNS should be defined according to specified functions and authority : professional autonomy ; counselling and educating patients and their familes, nurses, and even other medical personnel ; research on improvement of nursing ; and management of the nursing environment including medical resources, information, and cases. 2) the qualification of CNS should be attained only by a nurse who has an RN license and clinical experience of more than 3 years in a specific nursing field: passes a qualifying examination; and contributes to the professional development of peers, colleagues, and others. A master's degree should only be optional, because of the insufficient of graduate programs which are well designed for the CNS. 3) The CNS should initially be a head nurse rather than line staff in order to deal with as wide an experience base as possible. 4) The nursing specialty could be divided into two areas such as a clinical field and a community field. The clinical field could then be categorized by the Styles' classification such as diseases and pathogenics, systems, ages, acuity, skills/techniques, and function/role ; the community field could be classified according to work site.

통풍은 관절염뿐만 아니라 심혈관질환 등을 유발하는 만성염증질환이다. 하지만 대부분의 환자들이 단순히 관절질환으로 인식하고 있어 치료에 장애로 작용한다. 이 연구를 통해 간호사 주도의 통풍환자 대상 교육이 환자의 통풍에 대한 인식 개선 및 질병 경과에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 교육전문 간호사가 상급종합병원 류마티스내과 외래에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 통풍에 대한 일대일 교육을 시행하였고 환자의 만족도 및 복약순응도, 혈중 요산치의 변화 정도를 측정하였다. 교육을 받은 환자군의 진료만족도는 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며 두 번째와 세 번째 외래 방문 시에 측정한 복약순응도와 혈중 요산치는 대조군에 비해 교육군에서 유의하게 개선이 되었다. 결론적으로 간호사 주도 환자교육은 진료 만족도 개선 및 질환 경과의 호전에도 도움이 되는 것으로 확인되었다.

Results: Knowledge on the control of communicable disease was improved from 9.7 points (possible range : 0-15) before program to 11.9 points after program. Attitude was improved from 53.6 points (possible range : 15-60) before program to 55.7 points after program. Confidence in practice was changed from 45.9 points (possible range : 14-56) before program to 50.0 points after program. Even though all three areas were improved after educational program, knowledge showed the largest change among them. Conclusion: We can conclude the educational program was effective because knowledge, attitude, and confidence in practice on the control of communicable were statistically significantly improved after educational program.
