본 연구는 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료가 주 양육자가 인식하는 환아의 구강 건강과 관련된 삶의 질과 환아 가족의 일상생활에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 10세 이하의 건강한 환아와 그 환아의 주 양육자를 대상으로 연구가 진행되었다. 환아가 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료를 위해 내원한 당일, 치료 시작 전에 환아의 주 양육자가 설문지를 작성하고, 치료 후 6개월 이내에 동일한 주 양육자가 동일한 설문지를 다시 작성하였다. 총 43명의 환아가 연구 대상에 포함되었으며, Child Oral Health Impact Profile(COHIP)과 Family Impact Scale(FIS)의 대한민국 버전이 설문에 사용되었다. COHIP과 FIS 점수 모두 술 전에 비하여 술 후에 개선되었다. 성별은 COHIP 및 FIS 점수의 개선에 별다른 영향을 주지 않았으며, 연령은 COHIP 점수의 개선에 영향을 주지 않았다. 그러나 어린 환아의 경우 술 전 FIS 점수가 더 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 치수치료를 한 경우에는 COHIP 점수가 더 크게 개선되었으며, 구치부 기성금속관 수복을 한 경우에는 FIS 점수의 개선 정도가 적었다. 전치부 심미수복 여부와 전치부 조기 발거 여부는 COHIP 및 FIS 점수의 개선 정도에 영향을 주지 않았다. 결론적으로, 전신마취 또는 정주진정 하 치과치료는 주 양육자가 인식하는 환아의 구강 건강과 관련된 삶의 질을 개선시킨다.

본 연구의 목적은 한국사회가 고령화되고 있는 시점에서 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담과 사회지원이 건강 및 삶의 질과 어떤 관계가 있는지를 탐색하고, 부양자의 건강 및 삶의 질에 대한 부양부담과 사회지원의 상호작용을 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구의 참여자는 서울, 경기, 충청 지역에 거주하는 치매환자 가족부양자 207명(여: 106)이었으며, 그들의 평균 연령은 51.62(SD=9.25)세였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 심리검사는 다차원부양자부담설문지, 전겸구의 신체증상척도, 한덕웅과 장은영의 건강지각척도, 자기진술 부정정서질문지, Cambell의 주관안녕척도, MOS의 사회지원질문지, 권중돈의 치매노인 부적응문제척도이다. 분석 결과, 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담은 신체증상이나 우울과는 정적으로 건강지각이나 주관안녕과는 부적으로 관계하고 있었다. 사회지원은 치매환자 부양부담이 건강지각, 우울 및 주관안녕에 미치는 영향을 중재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 치매환자 부양에 따른 부정적 효과에 대해 완충 작용을 할 수 있는 것을 의미한다. 부양부담이 가족부양자의 신체증상과 우울의 변량을 30~40% 가량이나 설명하고 있었기 때문에 결과를 부양자의 건강이나 삶의 질의 중재를 중심으로 논의하였다. 사회지원이 부양부담 수준에 따라 다르게 작용하는 것 외에도 치매증상이 더 심각할 경우 사회지원이 적은 것 등과 관련해서도 선행연구를 바탕으로 논의하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among loneliness, life satisfaction, social support and perceived health status, and further to identify factors affecting loneliness among hospitalized patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive survey. A sample of 205 hospitalized patients with pneumoconiosis was recruited from August 10 to 27, 2011. The data were collected using structured questionnaire and were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: The mean score of loneliness was very high (46.5). The levels of loneliness depended on several factors including the duration of coalworker caregiver, personality, exercise, hobbies and reported complications. The reported loneliness was significantly correlated with life satisfaction (r=-.204, p=.003). family support (r=-.220, p=.002), professional medical team support (r=-.303, p<.001) and perceived health status (r=-.175, p=.012). The influential factors affecting loneliness were professional medical team support, life satisfaction, and personality, perceived health status, complication and family support, which explained about 21.8% of the variance. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that nursing intervention is needed to reduce loneliness, and to improve the perceived health status, social support and life satisfaction in the hospitalized patient with pneumoconiosis. These results can provide for evidence of nursing intervention to facilitate reduction of loneliness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a hospice palliative care performance measure which would cover more than just physical symptoms or quality of life. Methods: Through an intensive literature review, the author chose questions that measured aspects of physical, emotional, spiritual, social, or practical domains pertinent to hospice palliative care for inclusion in the scale. Content validation of the questions was established by 15 hospice palliative care professionals. A preliminary Hospice Palliative Care Performance Scale (HPCPS) of 20 questions was administered to 134 pairs of terminal cancer patients from 5 hospice palliative care units and their main family caregiver. A validation study was conducted to evaluate construct validity and internal consistency. Results: Factor analysis showed 14 significant questions in five subscales; Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, and Patient' rights. There were no significant differences between the ratings by patients and family members except for three out of the 14 questions. The measure demonstrated construct validity, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of the subscales ranged from .73 to .79. Conclusion: The HPCOS demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess effectiveness of hospice palliative care for terminal cancer patients in practice and research.

This study investigated the occupational experiences of social workers in child care facilities. The participants of the study were six social workers in child care facilities. This qualitative research used a Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) method that and classified the main findings into five categories and twelve sub-themes. This study revealed that child care professionals define themselves as "caregivers" and "role models." Positive effects of institutional life on a child were forming peer relationships and being able to use diverse services while negative effects included acquiring a social stigma, having problems in developing attachment between a child and a surrogate caregiver, developing passive attitude and weak will power from communal living. Meanwhile, conflicts with children and poor working conditions led to burnout for caregivers. Our recommendations on the direction of change for the facilities are: categorizing admitted children, supporting restoration of family functions, reinforcing support for children's preparation for an independent life, and developing expertise. This paper provides a better understanding of child care facilities as well as encourages further social discourse on institutionalized children in order to promote policy making and implementation.

The pandemic of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has contributed more challenges for mothers as the family's primary caregiver in overcoming the widespread infection. Pandemic-related information is essential for mothers to reduce uncertainty as well as to maintain the health of family members during this unprecedented situation. Adopting the framework of the Situational Theory of Problem Solving, this study extends the theory by, first, testing the mediating role of COVID-19 anxiety on mothers' information seeking and information forwarding, referred to as active communication action of problem solving, as well as preventive behavior; and second, by predicting the effect of information seeking on preventive behavior. Referring to an online survey from 371 Indonesian mothers, the findings suggest that in terms of direct effect, only problem recognition was found to have no significant effect on situational motivation. The results suggest that Indonesian mothers perceive COVID-19 as personally relevant so that they are motivated to solve the problem by seeking and forwarding related information. In addition, COVID-19 anxiety was found to play a significant role in predicting information seeking, information forwarding, and preventive behavior. The result of this study is expected to give insights for risk communicators and health professionals in Indonesia in communicating COVID-19, particularly to mothers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of husband's emotional support and mother-teacher partnership on maternal parenting stress. The participants in this study consisted of 216 mothers with children(aged 4-5years). Husband's emotional support was measured by the Parenting Alliance Inventory(PAI, R. R. Abidin, 1988) revised by R. R. Abidin and J. F. Brunner(1995). Mother-teacher partnership was measured using the Caregiver-Parent Partnership Scale(A. M. Ware, B. Barfoot, A. S. Rusher & M. T. Owen, 1995) revised by M. T. Owen, A. M. Ware and B. Barfoot(2000). Parental Stress was measured by the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form(PSI-SF, R. R. Abidin, 1995) revised by M. E. Haskett, L. S. Ahern, C. S. Ward and J. C. Allaire(2006). The data were analyzed through mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows: First, the mean score of husband's emotional support was higher than average and the mean score of mother-teacher partnership was an average level. Parenting stress was lower than average. Second, there were statistically differences in maternal parental stress according to number of children and mother's educational level. Third, husband's emotional support and mother-teacher partnership were influenced by maternal parental stress. The results of this study are important because they show mothers, fathers, and teachers ways to reduce maternal parental stress.

The number of grandparents who have responsibility for raising their grandchildren is growing. The present study examines the extent of this phenomenon and some of the issues these grandparents face in surrogate parenting. The sample consists of 69 grandparents(63 grandmothers and 6 grandfathers) of grandchildren who have lived with them at least 6 months without their parents. The grandparents raising grandchildren reported that caregiving bought negative changes in relations with their own children, economic situation and health condition. They concerned most about the issue of good mannered behavior of grandchildren and making good friends and needed social supports in terms of house cleaning and cooking and transportation for after school activities. Caregiver burden was related to the number of family members, the degrees of life changes, economic hardship due to caregiving, grandchildren's school performance and the relations with granparents' own children.

Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacon is an actively push-to-broadcast electronic signal and can be used for object identification. This paper uses such beacon-based identification and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for the elder health management service system to simplify the user interfaces and steps for preventive elder care. In the proposed system, an elder's family member, caregiver, or medical worker can conveniently and quickly record daily health management information. Besides, through the statistics and analysis of the data on the back end of the system, it is helpful for the elderly to refer to the data of daily care management and future management trends. Similarly, it is also an essential reference data for system maintenance and the new preventive health care services development.
