  • The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of fire officers' experience of traumatic events and subsequent forest healing on their occupational burnout. The results are as follows: First, the experience of traumatic events, social and psychological healing, and relieving stress by strolling had a significant effect on burnout. The more fire officers are exposed to traumatic events, the more they lose self-control in social and psychological aspects, and the lower the level of stress relieved through strolling, the higher the level of burnout. Thi sresult suggests that the more fire office rsare called out for fire fighting, the more they see their colleagues with severein juries, and the higher the level of mental and physical an xiety, the more they areex hausted. Moreover, for es thealing help store duce the irmental and physi calfatig uecaused by traumatic events, thu spreven ting them from suffering from burn out. Second, the experience of traumatic events, social and psychological healing, and relieving stress by strolling had a significant impact on occupational stress. The more fire officers are exposed to traumatic events, the more they lose self-control in social and psychological aspects, and the lower the level of stress relieved through strolling, the higher the level of occupational stress. This result indicates that to relieve job stress caused by fire fighting, increased forest healing activities, including various programs such as psychotherapy, developing interpersonal relationships and self-control, and creating a positive mind-set, can reducejobstress and help fire officers recover from it. Lastly, job stress had a mediation effect on the effects of the experience of traumatic events and forest healing on burnout. This implies that burnout can be prevented when fire officers gain high emotional stability through social and psychological healing and stress-relief strolling over a traumatic experience, and stronger support from the organization and family can keep them from being emotionally drained, thus contributing to the prevention of burnout.

  • 근래 자살예방에 대한 관심이 증가되면서 이에 대한 실질적인 전략들이 많이 개발되었다. 특히 서구에서는 지역사회 정신건강 기관에서 자살예방을 위한 치료 프로그램이 특성화되어 운영되는 것은 물론, 대학 및 병원과 연계하여 자살 충동의 원인이 되는 다양한 정신 병리적 혹은 사회 심리적인 원인들을 규명하고 이에 대한 계속적인 연구가 시행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음악치료가 자살의 중요한 요인인 우울에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 하여 자살예방을 위한 음악치료적인 접근을 제시하고자 하였다. 접근방법으로는 노래심리치료(Song Psychotherapy), MI(Music Imagery), 역할악기즉흥연주(Role Play Instrumental Improvisation)심리치료를 주요방법으로 구성한 음악심리치료 프로그램이 제공되었다. 연구대상은 우울을 동반한 정신적 외상상태로 자살을 시도했던 30대 여성이었으며 치료기간은 주 1회 90~120분의 7회의 세션이 실시되었다. 음악치료 전개에 따라 우울척도와 자살생각척도를 통해 변화를 양적 질적으로 연구 방법들을 사용하였다. 연구 결과 내담자는 음악심리치료를 통해 안정감과 편안함을 느끼고 방어나 저항 없이 자신의 감정의 생각, 그리고 내면의 세계를 탐구할 수 있었다. 이 경험들을 통하여 내담자는 자아개념과 새로운 가치를 발견하게 되고 부정적인 정서가 긍정적인 정서로 바뀌게 됨에 따라 우울감이 감소되었다. 또한 자살에 대한 생각보다는 현재 삶에 대한 구체적인 계획을 행동으로 옮기게 되었다. 특히 역할악기 즉흥연주 과정의 음악은 기분의 변화, 타인과의 관계변화, 태도의 변화 등 다양한 영역변화를 가져오는 주체로서 '치료' 그 자체로 사용되어졌다. 그리고 음악은 해결되지 않은 정신적 외상상태에 있었던 내담자의 심리적 위축과 긴장감, 무기력한 에너지 등을 표출시키고 본능과 감정을 그대로 경험할 수 있도록 하였다. 더 나아가 '거짓자아'와 분리되어 '참 자아'와의 통합을 이루어가도록 도움을 주었다. 결과적으로 음악심리치료는 우울을 감소시키고 자살충동 예방에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

  • Single Median Maxillary Central Incisor(SMMCI)는 상악 중절치 형성부전으로 하나의 상악 중절치가 정중앙에 위치하는 치아 발달의 해부학적 이상을 의미한다. 50,000명 중에 1명 꼴로 발생할 정도로 아주 드물며 각종 증후군 및 정중선 이형성을 보이는 발달장애와 연관되어 나타나는 것으로 보고되고 있다. SMMCI는 다른 이상과 연계되지 않고 독립적으로 나타날 수도 있으나 상염색체 우성유전인 전전뇌증(holoprosencephaly)의 경미한 발현일 가능성이 있으므로 유전자 상담이 필요하다. 또 특징적인 안모 및 구강 상태를 보이므로 환아의 바람직한 신체적, 정서적 발달을 위해 조기에 교정적 접근이 필요하다. 본 증례는 다른 이상 소견을 보이지 않는 세 명의 SMMCI 환아의 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

  • 문학 교육을 통해 중 고등학교 학생들의 일상생활과 삶을 들여다보고, 그들의 아픔을 치유하고 그들이 건강한 삶을 영위하도록 해야 하느냐에 대해서는 여러 가지 의견이 있을 수 있다. 하지만, 문학이 근본적으로 놀이이고, 만들기이고, 언어 예술이었다는 점에 대해서는 이론(異論)이 없을 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 과도한 입시경쟁, 맞벌이 가정의 증가, 가정 해체, 부모의 잦은 간섭과 무리한 통제 등으로 스트레스를 받고 있는 청소년들을 치유하는 일 역시 문학이 주도적으로 담당해야 한다는 논의는 반드시 필요하다. 시조는 우리 청소년들의 정신적 심리적 외상을 치유하는 효율적인 기재이다. 따라서 시조 교육을 통해, 좀 더 구체적으로 말하면, 시조에 담긴 전통의 전수와 창조적인 계승을 통해, 시조가 지니고 있는 세계 인식 능력과 세계를 재구성하는 능력의 함양을 통해, 시조에 면면히 흐르고 있는 생태주의와 대상에 대한 인식 태도의 복원을 통해, 그리고 시조에 쓰인 음성 언어의 회복을 통해, 우리 청소년들이 겪고 있는 정신적 심리적 외상을 치유하고 올바른 자아 정체성을 함양할 수 있는 시조 교육을 고민해야 한다. 시조 교육을 통해 시조에 대한 올바른 이해와 청소년의 트라우마를 치유하기 위해서는 '시조에 대한 이해와 학습자의 주관적인 경험과 상상력 선이해 활용하기 - 시조에 구현된 세계를 구체적으로 이해하고 형상화 방식에 대한 근본 태도를 경험하기 - 학습자의 생각과 느낌을 자유롭고 적극적으로 표현하기 - 학습자의 비판적 생각 표현을 중심으로 한 표현 활동하기 - 자아 정체성을 향상시키기 위한 학습자 활동 중심의 감상 표현 활동하기'의 수업 모형을 구안하여 한다. 그리고 학습 활동을 포함한 올바른 질문 제시의 기법도 필요하다. 그래야만이 학습자들이 시조를 통해 나를 표현하고 나를 절제할 수 있으며 나의 삶을 어떻게 설계할 것인지 '분명한 지도(Clear-Map)'를 그릴 수 있다.

  • Our conclusions for function evaluation tools of Stroke patients are as follows. 1. Evaluating tools of Activities of Daily Living, Katz Index, Barthel Index, Modified Barthel Index have high validity and reliability because of ease of measuring, high accuracy, consistency, sensitivity and sufficient stastistics, but they mainly measure motor function except sense, mentation, language, and social conception. Therefore cerebrovascular disease and brain injury in trauma patients with lacked acknowledgement and sensation, we are not able to apply these tools. 2. PULSES Profile is a useful scale for measuring the patient's over-all status, upper and lower limb functions, sensory components, excretary functions, and intellectual and emotional adaptabilities. It is recognized as a good, useful tool to evaluate patient's whole function. 3. Motor Assessment Scale was designed to measure the progress of stroke patients. The scale was supplemented with upper arm function items. We believe that the Motor Assessment Scale could be a useful evaluation tool with inter-rater reliability ,test-retest reliability. 4. The existing evaluation tools, Katz Index, Barthel Index, Modified Barthel Index, PULSES Profile, Motor Assessment Scale, mainly measured the rehabilitational motor function of sequela of cerebrovascular patients. On the other hand CNS & INH stroke scale can measure cerebrovascular disease patient's neurologic deficits and over-all stautus, which are recognition ability, speech status, motor function, sensory function, activities of daily living. Those scales have been recognized as useful tools to measure function of cerebrovascular disease patients and have increased in use. 5. Every function evaluation tool was recognized to have some validity and inter-rater, test-retest reliability in items of each evaluation tool and total scores of each evaluation tools, but it is thought that none of these scales have been fully validated and proved reliable. Therefore afterward, the development of a highly reliable rating system may best be accomplished by a careful comparison of several tools, using the same patients and the same observers in order to choose the most reliable items from each. 6. Ideal evaluation tools must have the following conditions; (1) It should show the objective functional statues at the same time. (2) It should be repeated consecutively to know changed function status. (3) It should be easy to observe the treatment program. (4) It should have the same result with another rater to help rater exchange information with treatment team members. (5) It should be practical and simple. (6) The patient should not suffer from the observer.

  • Atopic dermatitis is the fastest growing skin disorder among children from infancy to adolescence in Korea. The side-effects of atopic dermatitis not only include physical discomfort, but also psychological trauma which ultimately affects the developmental growth of children. This study was conducted in order to investigate the behavioral characteristics of an atopic dermatitis sufferer. As part of this research, the relative influence of behavioral problems and, self-perceived competence were analyzed in relation to the social competence of an atopic child. In total, 301 atopic and non-atopic children, between 2 and 6 years of age, and their mothers and teachers participated in the study. From this number, 109 children had atopic dermatitis, while 192 children did not. Mothers were asked to complete a parent-report questionnaire that required information on parental stress, according to the scale parenting methodology of Abbdin(1990) and Cho(1999). Teachers were subjected to teacher-report questionnaires which included topics on social competence, socia-emotional assessment and behavioral problems of an atopic child. Furthermore, children also completed questionnaires on self-perceived competence. According to analysis on K-CBCL, ITSEA, social competence, self-perceived competence and parental stress, children with atopic dermatitis showed higher scores in depression/anxiety and depression/withdrawal, compared to children in the normal control group. In relation to parental stress, daily stress, parental role stress, and stress related disease, mothers with atopic dermatitis children exhibited higher scores. In establishing relationships among the related variables, atopic children who demonstrated more social competence were more likely to suffer less from withdrawal, attention problems, and depression/anxiety. Stress related disease in mothers with atopic children was positively related to attention problems of the child. In terms of relative influences, behavioral problems was the most significant variable, accounting for 23% of variance. Lower behavioral problems was positively related to more social competence. In summation, this study investigated the general characteristics of atopic children. In conclusion, atopic children and their mothers had difficulty in dealing with this disease. It is our belief that an atopic child would not only require physical treatment, but also need appropriate psychological care.

  • 본 연구는 아동·청소년기 근친 성폭력 피해자들이 사건 이후 겪게 되는 다양한 심리적 변화와 현실을 그들의 목소리로 전달하여 새로운 시각을 제공해야 할 필요성과 상담을 통해 삶에 적응하기 위해 노력하는 개인적인 삶의 경험을 현상학적인 접근을 통해서 이해하고 기록하였다. 현상학적 방법론을 통한 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 참여자들은 부모의 정서적인 방치와 가족구성원의 폭력적 행동과 위협, 침묵을 강요하는 과정을 통해 대인관계에 대한 불신감과 낮은 자존감이 형성 되었고 일상생활에서 지속적인 어려움을 겪게 되었다. 둘째, 성폭력 사건에 의한 고통과 후유증은 사건이 알려지는 것에 대한 두려움과 자신에 대한 부정적인 생각, 대인관계의 어려움으로 나타나 현실부적응과 사회활동 회피를 반복하면서 역할의 갈등을 경험하게 하였다. 셋째, 아동·청소년기 근친 성폭력의 후유증은 PTSD를 통해 극단적으로 드러났다. PTSD의 경험은 참여자가 정신과에서 처방받은 약물이나 알코올과 같은 물질에 의존하고 환청과 환각, 망상의 경험으로 외부활동을 더욱 기피하게 하는 요소가 되었다. 넷째, 적응 과정을 통한 변화는 사건에 대한 직면과 분리, 삶에 대한 새로운 시선이다. 적응 프로그램을 진행하면서 과거의 상처로 인해 표현하지 못한 말과 감정을 표현하고, 자신의 삶을 살아가기 위한 목표를 세우고 앞으로 나아가려고 했다. 현실에서의 극복 경험은 참여자에게 자기존중감과 삶에 대한 자신의 능력을 신뢰하는 자기효능감, 건강한 자기조절능력에 대한 믿음을 향상시켰다. 본 연구는 개인의 삶에서 근친 성폭력 트라우마가 새로운 일상의 위기를 통해 재경험되고 각 과정마다 새로운 적응 과정을 반복하는 모델을 제시하는데 의의를 둔다.

  • This study is designed to find out proper nursing activities for the needs of the colostomy patients, i.e., mental and psychological as well as physical needs for rapid recovery, and to help them build up the follow-up care for proper social adjustment. The study is based on 268 cases out of 381 colostomy patient's records kept in Ewha Womans University Hospital, Yonsei Medical Center, and National Medical Center in between the period from Jan. 1953 to Jan. 1970. The items of study are mainly on etiology, sex, age, duration of hospitalization, mortality rate, seasonal frequency, time from the onset of illness to the admission of the hospital, signs and symptoms. 1. Frequency of onset by etiology: Neoplastic disease 112 cases (42%), Inflammatory disease 33 cases (12%), Congenital malformation 30 cases (11%), Intussusception 25 cases (9.3%), Trauma 24 cases (9%), Volvulus 17 cases (6.3%), and Crohn's disease 6 cases (2.2%). 2. By sex: male 167 cases (62.9%), and female 101 cases (37.1%). So the ratio of portion of male and female 2:1. 3. By age: under 1·year·old 27 cases (10.1%) highest, 41-50 yrs 54 cases (20.2%), 51-60 yrs 42 cases (15.5%), above 71 yrs 5 cases (1.9%). 4. Duration of hospitalization: the shortest is 2-days and the longest is 470 days. 1-20-days 52%, 40-60 days 14%. 5. Mortality rate: Under the 10-days-admission 19.5%, and the beyond 30-days-admission 3.9%. 6. Seasonal frequency: Higher in summer (32% ). 7. Signs and symptoms: abdominal pain (56%), abdominal distention (54%), vomiting (40%), bloody mucoid diarrhea (38%) , pain of anal region (18%), abdominal tenderness, anorexia, indigestion, constipation, disuria, tenesmus, high fever and chilling sensation, bile tingled vomiting. Nursing activities for the patient's physical needs are as follows: Skin care for colostomy region, Prevention of colostomy constriction and depression, Removal of an offensive odor, The use of colostomy bag-selection for, and demonstration of the use of inexpensive colostomy irrigation equipment, Personal hygiene, general skin care, care of hair, finger nails and toe-nails, Oral hygiene, sleep and rest, aquate, Daily activities, etc. Measures for regulation of bowl movement. Keeping the instruction of taking food, Preparing the meal and help for anorexia, Constipation and it's solution, Prevention of diarrhea, helping the removal of mucous, and stretch constricted steam as needed. Nursing activities for pt's socio-psychological needs are as follows; Help the patient to make decision for the operation, Remove pt's anxiety toward operation and anesthesia, To meet the pt's spiritual needs at his death bed, Help to establish family and friends cooperation, Help to reduce anxiety at the time of admission and it's solution, Help to meet religious need, Help to remove pt's anxiety for loosing his job and family maintenance, Follow-up studies for 7 cases have been done to implement the present thesis. The items of the personal interviews with the patients are as follows: Acceptability for artificial anus, The most anxious thing they had in mind at the time of discharge, The most anxious thing they hat·e in mind at present, Their friends and family's attitudes toward the patient after operation, Relations with other colostomy patients, Emotional damage from the operation, Physical problem of enema, irrigation, Control of diet, Skin care, Control of offensive odor, Patient's suggestions to nurses during hospital stay and after discharge. In conclusion, the follow-up care for colostomy patients shares equal weight or perhaps more than the post-operative care. The follow-up care should include the spiritual care for moral support of the patient, to drag him out of isolation and estrangement, and make him fully participate in social activities. It is suggested that the following measures would help to rehabilitate the colostomy patients (1) mutual acquaintance with other colostomy patients if possible form a sort of club for the colostomy patient to exchange their experiences in care (2) through the team work of doctor, nurse and rehabilitation specialists, to have a sort of concerted effort for betterment of the patient.

  • The goal of modern nursing is to provide comprehensive nursing care to patients. If comprehensive nursing care to children (within the hospital setting) is to be provided, consideration of the stage of growth and development of the child is especially important. From clinical observation, it appeared that nurses often disregarded individual requirements of children in giving nursing care. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to show that comprehensive nursing care which is based on an understanding of the growth and development of the child contributes to both the child and the mother's adaptability to the child's hospitalization. Method: Sixty children, three to three year of age, hospitalized at the Yonsei University Pediatric Ward ware studied. From April 1, 1973 to May 5, 1973, children admitted to the hospital were assigned to either an experimental or a compare groups. There were 30 children in each group. The sex and age of the children in each group was similar. In both groups were more male than female children. In the experimental group, each mother stayed with hot child continuously during his hospitalization. In the compare groups, the mother or some other member of the family stayed with the child. Each day on the child's admission the investigator visited the ward from 1-2 P.M. to 9-10 P.M., in order to provide comprehensive care for the experimental -group. The assistance given the nurses by the investigator was in the form of conferences regarding care and in giving direct care to the child and his mother. The compare group of children received nursing care as usually provided by the hospital. The instruments used to obtain the data for analysis were as follows: 1. The fear and anxiety reaction of the child was recorded by observation of the investigator for four areas: 1) separation from parent and relatives 2) reaction to Doctor and Nurse with white gowns 3) reaction to nursing care 4) reaction to injection and tests, etc. 2. Regression in area of eating, sleeping, and elimination were recorded by the investigator by questioning the mother and by observation. 3. Adaptability to the hospitalization was recorded by direct questioning of the children for areas of emotional and social adjustment. For children older than 3 years of age or children not seriously ill, using the simple I. Q. test this was possible for only 35 of the total 60 children. Result: 1. 55 percents of the total 60 children had been prepared by their parents for hospitalization. The children who had received prior preparation accepted hospitalization more readily than those who had received no preparation. (χ²=4.6 Ρ<0.05) 2. On admission 31.7 percent of the children expressed verbal fear of their discase or treatment. 25 percent felt that the disease was due to their mistake. 3. There was a significant difference in the reaction of the child to separation from the parent or relatives between the two groups. The experimental groups showed less anxiety due to separation than the compare group. (χ²=4.34 Ρ<0.05) In both groups there was less anxiety due to separation among school age (6-12 years) children than among preschool age (3-5 years) children. (χ²=9.22 Ρ<0.05) 4. More than half of the children in both groups reacted with fear and avoidance to doctor and/or nurses wearing white gowns. (χ²=0.06 Ρ<0.05) 5. The experimental group reacted more favorably to nursing in general than the compare group. (χ²=4.8 Ρ<0.05) 6. There was no difference in the fear and refused reaction to special tests and/or such as X-rays and injections, etc. between the groups. (χ²=3.77 Ρ<0.05) 7. More children in the compare group showed regressive tendencies in eating, sleeping, and elimination habits than in experimental groups. (χ²=2.3 Ρ<0.05 χ²=3.88 Ρ<0.05 χ²=4.9 Ρ<0.05) 8. There was a significant difference in the adaptability to hospitalization between the two groups. The experimental groups adapted more readily. (χ²=2.02 Ρ<0.05) 9. For children who had higher I.Q. s the adaptability to hospitalization was better regardless of the group. (χ²=5.03 Ρ<0.05) However, because of the small number of cases (60), this finding cannot be extrapolated without further verification. The date demonstrates that there was a greater adaptability to hospitalization by the child when comprehensive nursing care was given. By planning care and applying knowledge of growth and development to meet, nurses are in a position to prevent some of the psychological trauma associated with hospitalization.
