  • The purpose of the study was to determine whether a delirium educational program has a positive outcome on nurses' documentation in patient records of delirium care. A one group pre-post design was used. A convenient sample of 60 consecutive records that included documentation by participating nurses in four medical wards of one regional general hospital in South Korea was audited two months before and two months after a delirium educational program. Although an educational program in this study positively changed nurses' knowledge and attitudes, these positive effects did not translate to improvement in the documentations of delirium care. There was no significant increase in the frequency of nursing documentation of delirium assessment following participation in the educational program. Furthermore, there was no significant increase in the frequency of nursing documentation of the use of non-pharmacological management following the documentation of keywords associated with delirium after participation in the educational program. The findings indicate the need to develop, implement and record a systematic risk assessment for delirium and assessment and management of existing delirium based on evidence-based guidelines in clinical practice in South Korea.

  • In the IoT environment, there is a huge amount of heterogeneous devices with limited capacity. Existing trust evaluation methods are not adequate to accommodate this requirement due to the limited storage space and computational resources. In addition, since IoT devices are mainly human operated devices, the trust evaluation should reflect the social relations among device owners. There is also a need for a mechanism that reflects the tendency of the trustor and environmental factors. In this paper, we propose an adaptable trust evaluation method for SOA-based IoT system to deal with these issues. The proposed model is designed to minimize the confidence bias and to dynamically respond to environmental changes by combining direct evaluation and indirect evaluation. It is expected that it will be possible to secure trust through quantitative evaluation by providing feedback based on social relationships.

  • The aging population, particularly those aged 65 and above, is on the rise, with projections indicating a substantial increase in the elderly demographic. This demographic shift brings challenges in managing age-related diseases, including head and neck cancers (HNCs). Frailty, often characterized by physiological decline and vulnerability to stressors, is a crucial factor affecting treatment outcomes of elderly cancer patients. Accordingly, the significance of assessing frailty in elderly HNC patients before their treatment should be emphasized, but current frailty assessment tools may not fully capture the unique challenges faced by HNC patients. Specific indicators, including respiratory and swallowing functions, are proposed for a more tailored assessment. This comprehensive review explores the impact of frailty on various treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, highlighting the need for personalized interventions. Furthermore, it suggests avenues for future research to enhance frailty assessment tools and investigate interventions aimed at improving treatment outcomes in elderly HNC patients.

  • 환경영향평가법 개정으로 전략환경영향평가가 도입되어 대상계획을 15개 정책계획과 86개 개발기본계획 체계로 개편하여 시행하였지만 최근 평가 대상계획의 확대에 대한 논의가 국가 환경영향평가 정책의 중요한 이슈이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각국의 법령이나 지침에 제시된 전략환경평가 대상계획을 비교하여 대상계획에 포함되어야 하는 계획들을 제안하고자 한다. 총 10개국의 전략환경평가 대상계획을 조사하였으며, 대상계획이 법령이나 지침에 명시되어 있는 독일, 프랑스, 이탈리아, 영국 및 네덜란드의 사례들을 우리나라 전략환경영향평가 대상계획과 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통해 다수 국가의 연방수준 계획에 포함되어 있으며 환경에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 도시계획 분야와 에너지계획 분야의 상위계획 중 광역도시계획, 도시 군 기본계획, 에너지기본계획, 전력수급기본계획들을 전략환경영향평가 대상계획에 포함할 것을 제안하였다.

  • 본 연구는 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정에서 강조하고 있는 과정중심평가의 초등학교 현장 적용 실태를 파악하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 초등교사(133명)와 초등학생(2,089명)을 대상으로 과정중심평가와 관련된 인식 조사를 실시하였고, 8명의 초등교사를 대상으로 심층면담을 진행하였다. 초등교사들은 과정중심평가의 도입에 대해 전반적으로 긍정적인 태도를 가지고 있었으며, 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정의 도입 이후 수행평가 유형이 증가하고, 전통적 평가방법의 활용이 감소하는 변화가 있었다. 초등학생들은 과학 수업에서 과정중심평가의 핵심 요소 중 하나인 개별적 지원이나 긍정적 피드백 등을 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 심층면담을 통해 과정중심평가에 대한 이해 부족, 실제 적용을 위한 시간 부족 등과 같은 초등교사의 과정중심평가 적용의 어려움을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과를 토대로 과정중심평가에 대한 교사 이해 제고의 필요성, 과정중심평가 자료 보급의 필요성 등을 제안하였다.

  • Recently, as organizational systems have become larger and more complicated, the evaluation for their efficiency and effectiveness has become more difficult but important. It is essential to understand the current strength and weakness of the organizational process. It can be a starting point for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the organizational systems, because the quality of system outputs depend greatly on the capability of system process. Particularly in such process-based industries as semiconductor, energy or software industries, an assessment of process capability is more highlighted to gain knowledge of the expected quality and reliability of system outputs. As a result, much attention has been given to the issues of process capability assessment in the process-based industries. However, most of the previous research in those industries is based on case studies, a more generalized method for process capability assessment is in need for help more companies improve their processes. Therefore, this study aims to propose a process capability assessment method and apply the proposed method to an energy company. This research argues that the process capability is composed of individual and organizational capabilities of the process. Then, the concept of Capability Maturity Model Integration, which was initially suggested to evaluate the software development process, was introduced to develop the assessment tools and process. Finally, the proposed method was applied to a Korean company in the energy industry sector to verify its utility. The research outputs are expected to help more firms assess their process capability and ultimately improve the process.
