본 연구의 목적은 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력과 환자 자가평가, 간호사 평가 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위한 것이다. 자료수집은 D시에 소재한 E대학병원 내과 및 외과병동에 입원한 성인 환자와 담당 간호사 각 89명, 총 178명을 대상으로 하였으며, 환자의 의료정보이해능력 측정은 입원환자용으로 수정된 의료정보이해능력 도구와 Single Item Literacy Screener를 이용하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력은 17점 만점에 평균 $11.45{\pm}4.22$점이었으며 정답률은 67.3%이었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 나이, 학력, 직업, 유인물 읽기 여부에 따라 차이가 있었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 환자 자가평가와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었으나 간호사 평가와는 유의한 관계가 없었다. 그리고 환자 자가평가와 간호사 평가 사이에도 유의한 관계가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력을 사정함에 있어 환자 평가는 임상현장에서 활용 가능성이 있지만 간호사에 의한 단일문항 평가는 주의가 필요함을 시사한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of perceived powerlessness in hospitalized elderly patients of the medical and surgical unit. Method: The instrument for this study was the Powerlessness Behavioral Assessment Tool(Miller, 1983). The reliability of the instruments was .85. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. Results: The results were as follows ; 1. The mean score of powerlessness was $35.02(SD={\pm}9.24)$ in a range of 19 to 64, and the mean of powerlessness was total 1.84. Among 4 subscales, the highest score was in the area of verbal response (M=1.98), and the lowest score for powerlessness was in the area of daily activities(M=1.74). In all items, 'verbal expression of fatalism' showed the highest score(M=2.78), and 'verbal expressions of giving up' showed the lowest score(M=1.38). 2. There were significant differences in the level of powerlessness according to hospitalization experience(t=-3.03, p=0.006), medical treatment experience(t=.291, p=.004). Especially, there was significant difference according to the hospitalization experience of the hospital in all sub- scales. Conclusion: Based on these conclusions, nursing education for patient's diseases and treatment can be used for proper nursing intervention in reducing the level of powerlessness of hospitalized elderly.

Objectives : Polyneuropathies are diseases of multiple peripheral nerves. They are usually characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. It is generally regarded that the natural courses are poor, so we wanted to study the effects of Oriental medical treatment on a patient with polyneuropathy. Methods : We treated by conservative Oriental medical treatment a woman of 68 years who was diagnosed as a polyneuropathy and was hospitalized at Seoul Oriental Hospital, Kyungwon University, from 12th Mar. to 31st May, 2003. Changes of functional disability were checked by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), muscle atrophy was checked by measuring circumference of the thighs, calves, arms, and sensory impairment was checked by a sensory test. Results : 1. Functional disability caused by motor impairment was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment 2. Muscle atrophy was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment 3. Sensory impairment was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment Conclusion : We treated a patient who was diagnosed with polyneuropathy for over 80 days and recorded good effects of Oriental medical treatment on polyneuropathy.
