  • The purpose of the study is to explore and describe the lived experience of family members with gastric cancer patients using the grounded theory methodology. The participants were ten spouses of gastric cancer patients who had some kind of treatment at the hospital. They were asked open-ended and descriptive questions in order for them to talk about their experiences in their own terms. As the interveiw progressed the questions became more specific to discuss themes and working hypotheses that emerged from the analysis of previous interviews. All interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed for the analysis. Constant the core category that was emerged from the comparative analysis is “magmaggam” which can be described as a psychological distress due to a high level of uncertainty regarding the health of the patient and the future of the caregivers. Psychological distress includes several emotional feelings such as frustration. anxiety, fear, guilty, and self depreciation. Subcategories or strategies related to the core category are 1) managing illness, 2) using folk medicine, 3) giving the patient a reason to live, 4) being patient, 5) losing reality, 6) anticipatory experience on the patient's death and parting, and 7) changing interpersonal relationships. The results of this study would help clinical nurses to develop nursing intervention to help spouses of gastric cancer patients establish efficient coping strategies in dealing with the problems they face.

  • 본 연구는 바른체형운동 프로그램이 정신장애인의 폐활량 및 우울감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 경북 P시에 거주하고 정신장애 판정을 받았으며 정신재활프로그램에 참여하는 정신장애인을 대상으로 실시하였다. 참여한 피험자에게 연구목적과 내용을 설명하였고, 연구 참가동의서를 받은 19명을 최종 선정하여 10명은 운동군, 9명은 통제군으로 분류하여 12주간 바른체형운동 프로그램을 실시하였고, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 우선 폐활량의 변화를 살펴본 결과 PEF (최대호기속도)와 FEV1/FVC (1초간 노력성 호기량의 노력성 폐활량에 대한 비)가 바른체형운동 적용 후에 증가하여 호기기능이 유의하게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 바른체형운동 프로그램 참여에 따른 운동군의 우울감의 변화는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았으나 우울정도의 감소폭이 통제군보다 운동군에서 훨씬 크게 나타나 바른체형운동이 정신장애인의 우울감 정도의 감소에 긍정적인 변화를 나타냈다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 프로그램 참가자들의 특수성으로 인한 표본 수의 한계로 인해 통계적 검증의 한계가 명확히 존재함을 고려하여 참여자들의 주관적 경험을 심층적으로 이해하는 것을 목적으로 한 질적분석(qualitative research)을 병행하여 실시하였다. 프로그램 참가자 중 동의하는 사람에 한해 심층적 면담을 실시하였으며 이를 통해 참여자들이 표현하는 내용의 의미단위를 검토하여 분류하고 세분화하는 작업을 통해 주제분석(thematic analysis)을 실시한 결과, 전반적으로 바른체형운동 프로그램에 참여한 정신장애인들의 우울감 정도가 줄어든 것을 알 수 있었다. 우울감의 변화과정은 ′변화의 시작′, ′프로그램에 대한 흥미′, ′신체적 건강의 필요성에 대한 인식′, ′신체적 건강증진′, ′신체적 기능의 회복′, ′부정적인 습관(자세)의 변화′, ′우울감의 감소′, ′할 수 있다는 자신감′, ′미래에 대한 희망′과 같은 3개의 주제와 6개의 하위 주제로 나타났다. 따라서 바른체형운동이 정신장애인들의 신체적 건강증진을 위해 심폐지구력을 높여 신체적 건강증진을 도모할 뿐 아니라 더 나아가 정신적 우울감의 감소에도 효과성을 높여 정신적 건강증진에도 도움을 줄 수 있는 프로그램으로 정신장애인의 삶의 질 증진을 위해서는 보급이 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • In general the prevalence of old people is high and frequently have multiple diseases and symtoms requiring treatment. The nature of illness in the elderly has to be faced, and drugs do have an important part in the treatment of that illness. The purpose of this study were to describe health status and medication, and to provide some basic data for elderly's health education, especially for the right medication. Body mass index, self perceived health status, activities of daily living, disease and experience of past operation were surveyed to recognize the 249 elderly's actual health status. The degree of the elderly's understanding the way of medication, experience of side effects, experience of drug combination and incidence of drug adverse reaction along with drug combination were examined for medication. The aged $women(BMI; 10.7\pm13.3\%)$ overweighed the aged $men(BMI; 4.0\pm10.4\%)$. $69.0\%$ of them recognized their health good. Their activities of daily living were diminished following by the age group(p=0.0068) and relationship with self perceived health status were very significant(p=0.0005). They(192 elderly) suffered from multiple disease such as $osteoarthritis(49.5\%)$, $hypertension(32.0\%)$, gastric $disorder(16.1%)$, $diabetes(14.6\%)$, $osteomalacia(10.9\%)$, cardiovascular $disease(9.9\%)$, senile $cataract(5.7\%)$, skin $rash(5.2\%)$, liver $disease(4.2\%)$, kidney $disease(3.6\%)$, spinal cord $problem(3.6\%)$, respiratory $disease(2.1\%)$ $tuberculosis(1.0\%)\;etc(1.0\%).$ $28.3\%$ of them replied that they had an operation for appendictis senile cataract, peptic ulcer, spinal cord problem, pleurisy, hemorrhoid and the rest. Most of $them(87.4\%)$ knew the way very well how to use drugs, and $21.6\%$ of the replied 171 elderly experienced adverse drug reaction. Drug compliance rate were $high(83.6\%)$. In our study 56.9% of the 167 elderly took several medicine together. And $18.9\%$ of the 95 elderly who did drug combination had an experience of drug interaction. One person kept average 5.5 kinds of drugs at home among 243 elderly. They kept $digestives(79.4\%)$, $ointments(68.7\%)$, $vitamins(59.7\%)$, $analgesics(59.7\%)$, cold $medicines(45.3\%)$ antiarthritic $drugs(33.3\%)$, health $foods(27.7\%)$, antihypertensive $drugs(25.1\%)$, anti peptic ulcer $drugs(24.7\%)$, $laxatives(19.8\%)$, $antacids(16.5\%),\;antibiotics(l6.5\%)$, hypoglycemic $agents(10.3\%)$, cardiac $stimulants(7.0\%)$, $diuretics(4.5\%)$, antiarrhythmic $drugs(4.9\%)$, anti anginal $drugs(4.1\%)$, $hypnotics(3.3\%)$, $etc(38.3\%)$. With this result, we ascertain that polypharmacy in the elderly caused by multiple disease is common, which lead to drug interaction. So our task is to educate elderly how to use drugs in order to maximize their efficiency and to minimize their adverse effects.

  • The principal objective of this study was to assess dietitian's awareness and performance with regard to food suppliers' selection guidelines and purchase guidelines for the receipt of safe food materials. A questionnaire was administered to 203 dietitians working at an elementary school in Gyeonggi North province, and 190 responses were ultimately returned. Excluding responses with incomplete answers and significant missing data, 161 responses(79.3%) were ultimately utilized for data analysis. We determined that meat/poulty and seafood were purchased mainly by manufacturer's branch(59.8% and 78.3%), and processed food and kimchi were generally purchased by producer's cooperatives(47.7% and 44.9%). 78.3% of the contracts were made via informal purchasing and the frequency of contracts was less than 3 times per year(53.4%). Market studies were conducted individually(54.7%), and by group(47.2%). Dietitian and parents volunteered(50.3%) or dietitians, and school and foodservice staffs(45.3%) participated - together in receiving and inspection. School contracted with $4{\sim}5$(39.1%) and $6{\sim}8$ food suppliers(29.8%). Dietitians(42.3%) or school councils(40.2%) evaluated food suppliers once per semester(60.2%). The majority of dietitians(96.3%) conducted sanitary education for food suppliers once per semester (68.3%). All 13 guidelines which were usually used to evaluate food suppliers were thought to be important(more than 4) based on a 5 scale(1: never important, 5: very important). Among them, 'sanitary storage status of food products(4.85)', 'have a chill car(4.83)' and 'proper control of refrigerator, freezer and storage room(4.81)' were the most crucial guidelines. As dietitians evaluated food supplier's-observances of 13 guidelines, 'have a chill car(4.89)', 'hold medical examination of employees(4.89)' and 'hold liability insurance for handling product(4.80)' were fulfilled relatively well. The guidelines for conducting education for their employees(4.45) and keeping their establishment and equipment sanitary(4.79) were important, but were not observed well(3.39 and 3.37). Additionally, the difference between the importance and the observance score of the 'HACCP certificate' were fairly significant(4.44 and 3.54). Dietitians tended to report that purchasing management related to the removal of foodborne illness factors(4.71), return confirmation(4.50) and purchase specification(4.32) were important. The difference between importance and performance was highest in the process of changing food suppliers when the contracts were violated more than three times. Dietitian's age, education work experience and employment type had no observable effects on how important they considered purchase management to be, but their work experience significantly affected performance in terms of the removal of foodborne illness factors(p<0.05). As supplier management is the most critical factor, it is clearly desirable to educate suppliers at specialized training centers and to supervise suppliers in accordance with the established sanitary guidelines.
