Purpose: This study was performed to systematically review the recently published nursing intervention studies. Methods: The literature was identified through the Korean Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), the Korean Information Service System (KISS), and National Assembly Library websites. Key words such as breast cancer, nursing, and intervention were used. The factors analyzed are as follows: 1) the characteristics of studies and study populations, 2) the classification of interventions, 3) outcome indicators and their effects, and 4) effective interventions. Results: Thirty two studies were included. Seventeen studies used a single intervention such as aerobic dance, TaiChi, foot massage, aromatherapy, or a stress-reduction method. Fifteen studies used combined interventions, including education, exercise, counseling, support, yoga or meditation. The data on 47 outcome indicators and their effects were segregated into psycho/spiritual outcomes, stress coping, physical outcomes, cardiorespiratory function, symptom management, arm and shoulder functions, fatigue, and quality of life. Some interventions had positive effects on stress, fatigue, and functions of shoulder. Conclusion: Various interventions are available for breast cancer patients, and some have had positive effects. However, more studies are required to develop evidence-based practice guidelines for nursing interventions.

Objectives: This study surveyed doctors of Korean medicine on how they treat hypertension in their Korean clinical practices. Methods: An invitation to take an Internet-based questionnaire was sent to doctors who were registered in the Association of Korean Medicine in September 2016. Participants were first asked general profile questions, which included age, gender, work experience as a practitioner, and specialties. Second, they were asked whether they had experience with hypertension treatment and additional questions related to hypertension. Results: A total of 991 replies were received to the questionnaire. Most of the Korean medical doctors (95%) had blood pressure units and had monitored blood pressure. A majority of the Korean medicine doctors (55%) had provided hypertension treatment. Acupuncture and herbal medicine were commonly used for the treatment of hypertensive patients. In addition, bloodletting, moxibustion, pharmacopuncture, cupping, Chuna, Qigong exercise, meditation, and Tai Chi were used. Many doctors also recommended lifestyle modification. The respondents said that Korean medicine improves general health conditions (42.6%) and has low adverse effects (29.9%). One of the most common opinions about the revitalization measures of Korean medicine was expanding health insurance benefits (20.8%). Conclusions: Through this survey, we found out information about the present situation of hypertension treatment in Korean medicine. In the future, it is possible that hypertension treatment using Korean medicine will be demanded and used by practitioners if it is covered by public health insurance.

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) as nursing interventions for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA statement guidelines. To search for studies related to the effects of CAT applied as nursing care in OA patients, a combination of the keywords 'osteoarthritis,' 'complementary and alternative therapy,' and 'nursing care' were used. Finally, 12 articles retrieved from five electronic databases were included for the analysis. Results: Twelve studies were classified into seven interventions: Tai chi exercise, yoga, qigong, massage. flax seed compress, music, and meditation relaxation, administered by a nurse, and were RCTs. Outcome variables used for pain evaluation were WOMAC and VAS. The duration of interventions varied from 2 to 12 weeks. All twelve interventions had a positive effect on the outcome variables. Conclusion: CAT applied in nursing care for patients with OA significantly reduced pain and improved mobility. When planning a nursing intervention program, it is recommended to combine multiple therapies, considering the duration of effects. In addition, it is recommended to design the study as an RCT to secure the evidence for practical application.

이글은 신유학의 최고개념인 태극에 대한 조선 유학자들의 수양론적 관심과 해명을 고찰한 것이다. 태극은 존재와 가치를 통관하는 궁극적 개념이지만, 조선유학의 태극에 대한 관심은 심성수양의 문제가 비중이 큰 것으로 보았다. 고려말 성리학자인 이색이 '복희와 요순을 본받아 내 마음의 태극으로 돌아간다'라 하고, 한국성리학의 이정표를 제시한 것으로 평가되는 이언적의 태극문변에서는 진리의 표준으로서 태극을 어떻게 체득, 실천해 갈 것인가라는 수양론적 문제가 중심이 됨을 볼 수 있으며, 이러한 관심은 조선유학사 전반을 관통한다는 것이다. 유가에서는 인간사회 자체를 성도(成道)의 장으로 인식하기에, 음식남녀의 일상생활을 떠난 도·불의 수련관을 비판하면서 제기된 유가의 수양론은 태극에 대한 해명에 있어서도 도·불의 수련과 차별화되는 이론 근거를 마련한다. 조선의 유학자들은 태극을 내외를 관통하는 실리(實理)이자, 성(誠)으로 파악하는 한편 '심위태극(心爲太極)'과 관련한 논의에서 이때의 태극을 마음의 통회처(統會處), 인극(人極), 도심(道心)으로 이해함을 볼 수 있다. 이는 한국 선도사(仙道史)의 중요인물로 간주되는 김시습·서경덕 같은 학자들에게도 해당되는 것으로, 조선의 유학자들은 도불을 수용해 들임에 있어서도 도덕적 자아의 확립과 그에 의거한 심성수양이라는 문제 의식을 확고히 한다는 것이다. 적연부동(寂然不動)한 마음의 중(中)으로서의 태극을 체득하려는 공부론은 주정(主靜), 정좌(靜坐), 조식(調息)을 미발시의 공부법으로 수용하게 되며, 이는 도·불의 수련법을 합리적으로 재해석하여 유가 경(敬)공부의 일환으로 편입해 들이는 것이라 하겠다.
