Purpose: This study aims to identify the general characteristics, subjects, and methods of research on the health of North Korean refugees through a systematic literature review. Methods: A total of 140 studies on health were reviewed using the analytical framework developed by the researchers. Results: The quantitative research comprised 90.7% of the studies, whereas the qualitative research were 7.9% of them. Approximately 81.4% of those reviewed have publication dates spanning 2006 to 2015. Only 13.6% of the studies were conducted with the approval of an institutional review board. The subjects of studies were psycho-social health (151.8%), behavioral health (28.5%), cognitive health (15.0%), physical health (12.2%), integrated health (7.8%), and spiritual health (2.8%). Within the quantitative studies reviewed, the most commonly used study design was survey research (86.0%). The two sampling methods used most often were convenience sampling (53.5%) and snowball sampling (19.4%), and the most commonly used data-collection method were questionnaires (94.6%). As for the qualitative studies, the most commonly used study design was phenomenology. Conclusion: The results suggested that the reviewed studies focused on physical health more than psycho-social health, and physiological measurement more than questionnaires. Ethical considerations need to be expanded.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the infant-rearing experiences of parents during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and provide foundational data for the development of infant-rearing support programs during pandemic situations. Methods: Convergent mixed methods were used to better understand the research outcomes by converging both quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 149 parents with infant-rearing experiences during the pandemic responded to a self-report survey, and 10 parents participated in the interviews. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method, descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression. Results: Analysis of qualitative data yielded the following three categories: five theme clusters, ten themes, and thirty-nine subthemes. The factors influencing infant-rearing behavior were nuclear family (β=.34, p<.001) and rearing stress (β=-.39, p<.001). The explanatory power of the regression equation was 26.6%. Conclusion: Infectious disease disasters, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can quickly alter infant-rearing conditions, causing heightened parental anxiety. This may affect infant-rearing behaviors and hinder healthy infant development. Future research should develop a comprehensive tool to measure holistic health-related parenting behaviors across the different stages of child development. Additionally, pediatric nurse practitioners can play an active role in educating parents, supporting parenting, and promoting healthy infant development in their communities, making pediatric nurse practitioners a highly relevant and necessary healthcare profession during infectious disease disasters. Thus, there is a need to improve institutions and build infrastructure at the national level to support them.

중학교 '전기와 자기' 에 대한 개방적 탐구 과제는 관찰을 통한 서술적인 결과 처리가 특징인 정성적 과제와, 변인통제를 통한 정량적 결과 처리가 특징인 정량적 과제로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 두 종류의 과제에 대한 중학교 2학년 학생들의 탐구 수행 특징을 탐구 과정을 중심으로 분석하는 것이다. 학생이 작성한 '탐구 보고서' 및 '탐구 활동 평가서' 그리고 연구자의 관찰 및 면담 자료를 분석하였다. 정성적인 과제에 대한 탐구에서는 자신의 생각과 다른 뜻밖의 관찰을 인지하고 처리하는 것이 어려운 점이었고, 정량적인 과제에 대한 탐구에서는 여러 개의 변인을 다루고, 신뢰롭고 타당한 측정을 하며, 정량적으로 결과를 처리하는 것이 어려운 점이었다. 정성적인 과제에 대한 탐구에서는 자신이 제시한 탐구 방법 및 결과의 부족한 점을 인지하고 있었는데 반해, 정량적인 과제에 대한 탐구에서는 부족한 점을 거의 인지하지 못했다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 실험실습과는 다른 개방적인 탐구를 지도할 때, 정성적인 과제의 경우 뜻밖의 관찰 결과를 신뢰롭고 타당하게 처리하도록 지도하는 것이 중요하며, 정량적인 과제의 경우 여러 개의 변인을 다루는 방법 및 신뢰롭고 타당한 측정 방법을 지도하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Purpose: Patient education is a dynamic and continuous process that should be implemented during the entire time of hospital stay and even afterward. Studies have shown the typically poor quality of patient education in Iran and its failure to convey the required knowledge and skills to patients. The purpose of this study was to survey the experience of nursing students in regard to the challenges of patient education in hospitals. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using the conventional qualitative content analysis approach on a sample of 21 undergraduate nursing students (4th semester and beyond), which was drawn from the Qom Nursing and Midwifery School through purposive sampling with maximum variation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted over a period of 45 to 75 minutes, and were analyzed using the conventional qualitative content analysis. Results: Results were derived from the experiences of 21 nursing students (nine males, 12 females) about the research subject. The primary themes identified in the study were the student-related, patient-related, instructor-related, education environment-related, and curriculum-related barriers to patient educations. Conclusion: Participants believed that patient education in Iranian hospitals is faced with many challenges. Nursing instructors and curriculum planners should ensure more emphasis on patient education at the initial semesters of nursing education curriculum and make sure that it is included in the evaluation of students. Hospital officials should provide a dedicated education environment with suitable facilities, tools, and atmosphere for patient education. Also, special education programs need to be developed for less educated patients.

Polymer separations are used to obtain information on molecular distributions (molecular-weight distribution, chemical-composition distribution, functionality-type distribution, etc.). The existing methods, such as size-exclusion chromatography are reliable, but imperfect. New methods and improvements to existing methods are being studied and some of the results will be discussed. In addition, comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography allows the complete characterization of two mutually dependent distributions. LCxSEC chromatograms provide a very good qualitative impression of the distributions, but calibration is not straightforward. Finally, progress in mass spectrometry allows much better information to be obtained.
