This study investigated the correlation between the participation in health-related decisions and self-care competency and the factors influencing self-care competence of patients with chronic disease. The participants were 518 patients with chronic illnesses who were admitted to a public health center. Using a structured-questionnaire, the data was collected from January 1, 2019 to 31, 2019. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffé tests, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression with the IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. The mean scores on the participation in health-related decisions and self-care competency were 3.62±0.20 and 4.57±0.34, respectively. The main variables that distinguish significant differences between participation in healthcare decisions and self-care capabilities are gender, age, education level, diagnosis, and subjective health status. Self-care competency was positively correlated with the participation in health-related decisions (r=.66, p=.043). Factors influencing self-care competence were education (β=-2.23, p<.001), health concerns (β=0.14, p=.003), subjective health statues (β=2.57, p=.011), and age (β=-0.36, p=.048). The input variables explained .56 of self-care competence. The results of the study indicate that approaches focusing on enhancing the participation in health-related decisions could potentially improve self-care competency of patients with chronic disease.

This study was to investigate the factors influencing job satisfaction of nurses in long-term care hospitals focusing on burnout and burden. The participants were 206 nurses recruited from long-term care hospitals in B metropolitan city and C city. Data were collected from January to March, 2014 and analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The frequency of experience was $1.65{\pm}0.42$, which is 4~5 times per month and once or twice per week in the problematic behavior in dementia. The frequency of burden was $1.46{\pm}0.48$, which means one nurse can solve the problematic behaviors in dementia. Burnout was $2.53{\pm}0.61$, and job satisfaction was $2.87{\pm}0.45$. Negative correlations were found between burden and job satisfaction (r=-.256, p=.003), and between burnout and job satisfaction (r=-.718, p<.001). A factor influencing job satisfaction was burnout (${\beta}$=-.735), which explained 57%. It is suggested that Intervention programs should be developed to reduce burnout and burden, and to increase job satisfaction for nurses.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among the social support, depression, and health-related quality of life and the factors affecting the health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The subjects consisted of 134 patients who had received CABG from S general hospitals in Seoul, Korea, and the results were analyzed using the SPSS Win 21.0 program. The physical component summary (PCS) was significantly different depending on the age (F=4.616, p=.004), gender (t=3.657, p<.001), education (F=7.688, p=.001), current job (t=-4.363, p<.001), spouse (t=-3.065, p=.003), and underlying disease (F=3.078, p=.030) of the subjects. There were differences in the scores for the mental component summary (MCS) according to their gender (t=2.243, p=.027) and monthly income (F=2.821, p=.041). A significant negative correlation was found between social support and depression (r=-.415, p<.001). Social support had a statistically significant positive correlation with the MCS (r=.261, p=.002). Significant negative correlations were found between depression and the PCS (r=-.459, p<.001) and MCS (r=-.554, p<.001). The depression and underlying disease accounted for 36.7% of the variance in the PCS. The depression accounted for 34.1% of the variance in the MCS. Based on these results, nurses should develop nursing intervention programs for patients who have undergone CABG which take into consideration their depression.
