Purpose: This study aimed to develop an evidence-based nursing practice guideline for preventing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Methods: The guideline adaptation process was conducted through the 24 steps based on the guideline adaptation manual of Korean Hospital Nurses Association. Results: The newly developed guideline to prevent PPCs consisted of four domains and 30 recommendations. The number of recommendations in each domain was 7 for assessment of PPCs, 17 for nursing interventions to prevent PPCs after general anesthesia, 4 for education (intended for patients and medical staff), and 2 for monitoring and recording. Conclusion: The developed guidelines will contribute in standardization of nursing practice and PPCs prevention and management. We recommend the dissemination and utilization of these guidelines nationwide to improve the quality of postoperative pulmonary complication prevention.

Objectives : The aim of this preliminary study is to suggest a clinical approach on prostate cancer through the analysis of existing clinical practice guidelines or clinical studies. Materials and Methods : The data related on the treatment of prostate cancer were collected using various search engines such as Pub Med, KIOM OASIS, CNKI. Then, data were analyzed to evaluate the validity of recommendation of treatment. Results : Prostate cancer has the highest prevalence around the world. Recently, the incidence of prostate cancer in Korea is rapidly increasing. Especially, it was reported that incidence rate rose up to 80% by age 80 years. In recent studies, applying combined traditional and conventional medicine were reported to improve the survival, quality of life, immune function, and suppress of tumor growth in prostate cancer. However there has not been an objective and systemic clinical guideline for prostate cancer in Korean Medicine. Accordingly, it has been difficult for doctors to apply optimized therapeutic treatment in clinics. This study will show a preliminary approach to establish clinical practice guideline for prostate cancer of Korean Medicine. Conclusion : Further objective and systemic clinical studies by Korean Medicine are needed to develop more advanced clinical practice guidelines of prostate cancer.

Objectives Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are becoming crucial in medical decision-making worldwide, there are very few development guidelines for children. Therefore, this preliminary study aimed to assess the status of worldwide except east asia-CPGs recommending complementary and alternative medicine interventions (CAM-i) in children worldwide except east asia in order to help developing Korean medicine CPGs (KMCPGs) for children. Methods To identify the current status of CPGs including CAM-i that have been developed so far, the author searched the related databases, and selected CPGs for children. The data related to the status of evidence-based CPGs, the materials related to the characteristics of CAM-i, and the details of recommendations for CAM-i were selected from the obtained findings. Results A total of 106 CPGs were identified based on the searches, of which 11 were finally selected as pediatric CPGs. These pediatric CPGs have been developed since 2007 to target various diseases. The countries developing these CPGs include the United Kingdom, Scotland, Australia, and the United States, with the U.K. having the largest share. The majority of CPGs used MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane library as databases. The most frequently recommended topic was acupuncture, followed by herbal medicine. Many CPGs suggested that more research was needed. Conclusions Through this study, the author was able to identify the characteristics of the developed pediatric CPGs that include CAM-i. More preceding studies are needed for the development of pediatric KMCPGs. It is hoped that this report can be used as the foundation for future development of pediatric KMCPGs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate nutritional knowledge, practice of eating behavior guidelines, and problematic dietary habits in working high school students in comparison with non-working high school students. A survey questionnaire was formulated to obtain information on demographic variables, body size, part-time jobs, nutritional knowledge, practice of eating behavior guidelines, and dietary habits. The developed questionnaire was given out to 515 students attending a vocational high school in Yongin, Gyeonggi-Do. Those who had been working 5 hours or more per day for at least a month at the time of survey administration were defined as working students for this study. Proportions of working students were similar between male and female students (i.e. 49.5% for male, 50.5% for female). No significant difference was found in scores of nutritional knowledge between working ($8.43{\pm}2.29$) and non-working students ($8.60{\pm}2.19$). However, some dietary habits were found to be dependent on working status. While approximately 43% of non-working students reported skipping a meal, about 57% of working students did so (p<0.01). The proportion of students with any drinking experience was significantly higher among working students (92%) compared to non-working students (80%) (p<0.001). Working students were found to drink alcoholic beverages more often than non-working students (p<0.001). The mean score of practice of eating behavior guidelines was lower in working students than non-working students. The magnitude of this difference was modest ($51.33{\pm}0.63$ in working students, $53.40{\pm}0.51$ in non-working students), but reached statistical significance (p<0.01). Based on the findings from this study, it is suggested that specific behavior-oriented messages to improve certain problematic dietary habits need to be directed toward working high school students.

This study compared levels of health and dietary behavior practices and health beliefs according to the stage of weight loss behavior change of Korean male workers. A self-administered survey questionnaire was collected from 411 male adult workers residing in Seoul, Kyeonggi, Chungcheong region. Practices of health related behavior, including smoking, drinking, exercise, work related physical activity, and dietary behavior according to dietary guidelines were evaluated. In addition, the levels of perceived benefit, perceived barrier, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, and perceived cue to action from the health belief model were measured according to the stages of weight loss behavior change. Significant differences in BMI, level of daily exercise, and practices of dietary behavior according to dietary guidelines were observed among stages of weight loss behavior change. Subjects who were in action/maintenance stage showed a more desirable level of health behavior and health belief model variables, except perceived barrier. Based on the findings of this study, it is suggested that subjects with different stages of behavior change need an appropriate specific nutrition education method and material for improvement of nutrition education efficacy.

Objectives This study was aimed to evaluate clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) of traffic injuries, which has already been developed at domestic or outside of country, and to explore the Korean medical treatments included in the CPGs. Methods Twelve electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI {Chinese Academic Journals, CAJ}], Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], KoreaMed, Korean Medical Guideline Information [KoMGI), National Guideline Clearinghouse [AHRQ], Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Initiative Website [COMET], Turning Research into Practice [TRIP], The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE], and Medical Research Information Center [MedRIC]) up to July 2021 were searched. Only systematically developed CPGs for traffic injuries were selected and appraised. The appraisal was conducted by using Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE) II tool. Results Six CPGs were included and evaluated. All CPGs were appraised as highly recommended because they exceeded 60% in more than 4 among 6 domains of AGREE II, including domain of 'rigor of development', and 30% in the rest. Recommendations related to Korean medicine treatments such as on manual therapy related to Chuna were given in 6 CPGs, 4 for acupuncture, 1 for Qigong and 1 for Taping. Conclusions The 6 CPGs were developed up to now through a systematic development methodology and there were many recommendations for Korean medical treatments related to manual (Chuna) treatment, acupuncture and Qigong. However, the evidence for the side effects and risk factors of Korean medical treatments was scantly reflected in CPGs. Therefore, it is considered that balanced CPG with benefits and risks should be developed, covering Korean medical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

An economic evaluation is required in order to apply to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) for a listing in the national drug formulary. To assist companies in preparing the necessary documents, HIRA published guidelines for the economic evaluation of pharmaceuticals in 2006. The guidelines are composed of two parts: guidance and explanatory notes. Each guideline reflects the best practice which meets both the theoretical consensus within the academic community and local situations, like data availability. To enhance the transparency of evaluation, guidelines emphasize the reproducibility of data and analysis result. That is, all evaluation processes are required to be described in enough detail to be replicated by reviewers. With growing experience and theoretical development in this area, HIRA guidelines will be revised periodically.

Objective: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are typically managed with dual antiplatelet therapy of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and $P2Y_{12}$ receptor inhibitor. In this study, we discussed current and previous antiplatelet therapy guidelines and compared with guidelines of the USA (ACC/AHA), Europe (ESC) and Korea (KSC). Method: This study investigated from ACC/AHA Joint Guidelines (the USA), ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines (Europe) and Korea Society of Interventional Cardiology (Korea) web site, respectively. Results: It is significant that difference between the current and the previous guidelines was integration of terminology from clopidogrel to $P2Y_{12}$ receptor inhibitors since prasugrel and ticagrelor, new antiplatelet drugs, has been added. The other difference was all three guidelines has differences in dose of aspirin. The most notable difference was class of recommendation(COR) in $P2Y_{12}$ receptor inhibitors. ACC/AHA and Korean guidelines recommend clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor with COR IB; whereas, ESC recommend prasugrel and ticagrelor with IB which is higher than clopidogrel with IC. Conclusion: This research addresses important movement to revise the Korean existing guideline recommendations. New Korean antiplatelet therapy guideline should be avoiding obvious differences in ACC/AHA and ESC guidelines and harmonizing international guidelines.
