  • There has recently been an increased interest in women's health from, various disciplines, with different perspectives presented according to each profession's academic background. This has led to many instances of incorrectly defining, or misinterpretation, of the issues even among professionals. Nurse scholars as well as practitioners who work in women's health care need to have a clear conceptual understanding of women's health in order to build a body of knowledge, delineate curricular activities, and set directions for professional nursing interventions. In addition, a conceptual model that may be directly utilized in practice is needed to maintain and promote women's health issues. The purpose of this study was to apply a Hybrid model, analyzing conceptual definitions and discussions related to women's health gathered from review of the literature. Further to compare analyticals the concepts and properties observed from field work, so as to present a final definition of women's health and, build a conceptual framework for a united comprehensive perspective on the concept as well as on nursing practice. Data collection and analysis consisted of a theoretical stage, field work stage, and final analysis. A heterogeneous group of professionals and lay persons, 39 in all, participated in the field work. Study findings Include several subconcepts under the concept of women's health : a woman's whole life, holistic health, quality of life, awareness of being a woman, individual nursing, self care ability, reproductive health, and family health. Thus, a comprehensive definition was built, 1. e., "Women's health care be defined as improvement in the quality of life of women through attainment of holistic health throughout the life span. With reproductive health at the core, the concept is directly related to family and national health, and includes taking care of one's own health based on awareness of being a woman and utilizing self care activities. Women's health care issues are unique and allow various responses, therefore women's health professionals need to apply individual approaches to reach solutions in attaining holistic health and improving quality of life." The constructual factors of women's health were found to be reproductive functions, diseases more common in woman, self actualization, mental health, women's health policies, sexuality, midlife changes, and marital relations, with each factor having more than three properties. Positive factors affecting women's health were found to be a normal childbearing process, a healthy lifestyle, active health management, health information, support, and resources, and interpersonal relationships. Negative factors were found to be overwhelming role stress, cultural oppression, gender inequality, distorted sexual identity, economic difficulties, misuse and/or abuse of substances, and stress. The model of women's health may be visualized as a balance scale set upon a woman's life, supporting 4 concentric circles. The innermost circle and second circle incorporate conceptual definitions of women's health, and the outer two circles represent the constructional factors and properties of women's health. Each circle has its own color that symbolizes the conceptual meaning. Positive and negative factors are represented as weights at either end of the scale, and are affected by nursing intervention, i. e., health and wellness increase when positive factors are stronger, whereas disease and illness increase when negative factors are stronger. This model is only a preliminary effort and requires much discussion and testing to be further developed. Continuous research is also required.

  • Objectives: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic orofacial pain in a nationally representative sample of the Korean population. Materials and Methods: Data from the 8th wave Korean national health and nutrition examination survey, which was conducted from 2019 to 2020 were analyzed. This study included 5,780 Koreans (2,503 males, 3,277 females) over 40 years of age. The presence of subjective chronic facial pain lasting more than 3 months was evaluated based on a self-reported questionnaire. The risk of OSA was determined using the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Data related to anthropometric and sociodemographic factors; diagnostic history of hypertension, depression, and OSA; level of health-related quality of life and stress awareness; health-related behaviors, including smoking and alcohol drinking; and sleep duration were collected. The participants were classified into two groups according to the presence of chronic facial pain. Results: The level of health-related quality of life and stress awareness showed significant differences between the two groups. The sleep duration on weekends also presented significant differences. No significant differences were observed in the presence of snoring and observed apnea, while participants with chronic facial pain showed significantly higher levels of tiredness between the groups. The risk of OSA evaluated by STOP-BANG questionnaire showed significant differences between groups; however, the risk of OSA seemed to be higher in participants without chronic facial pain. Conclusion: The participants with chronic facial pain demonstrated decreased sleep duration, lower health-related quality of life, and increased stress and tiredness. Even though, the role of OSA in the development of chronic facial pain was inconclusive from the study, it is possible that ethnicity play a role in relationship between OSA and chronic facial pain.

  • 본 연구는 동기 부족을 겪고 있는 조현병 환자들에게 음악 치료가 자기 인식 및 내재적 동기 향상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해, 본 연구자는 2023년 10월 5일부터 11월 16일까지 8주 동안 매주 60분씩 음악적 정서 탐색에 기반을 둔 주도적음악 활동을 중심으로 한 음악치료 세션을 진행하였으며, 성인 남성 3명과 여성 3명, 총 6명이 연구에 참여하였다. 본 연구는 주로 정량적 방법을 사용하되 정성적 통찰로 보완하였고, 데이터 수집 및 분석은 네 번째부터 여덟 번째 세션에 걸쳐 집중적으로 이루어졌다. 연구 기간의 제한으로 통계적으로 유의한 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나, 심층 인터뷰를 통해 얻은 정성적 자료는 참가자들의 자기 인식과 내재적 동기가 향상되었음을 나타냈다. 특히 참가자들의 감정표현과 의사소통 능력이 향상되었으며, 이는 자기 인식, 내재적 동기의 향상뿐만 아니라 자신의 삶의 질에 대한 인식의 개선으로 이어졌다. 개인별 변이성이 관찰되었으나, 이러한 결과는 음악 치료가 조현병 환자의 자기 인식을 개선하고 내재적 동기를 재점화하는 효과적인 중재 방법임을 시사하며, 향후 긴 기간 동안의 연구를 통해 이러한 결과를 더욱 확증할 필요가 있음을 제안하고 있다.

  • 본 연구는 부산지역 병의원에 내원하는 성인을 대상으로 주관적 인식수준에 따른 삶의 질을 알아보고 영향요인을 분석하여 주관적 인식개선을 위한 방안마련과 함께 삶의 질 향상을 위한 기초자료로 삼고자 한다. 2015년 12월부터 약 9개월간 부산지역 병의원에 내원하는 성인들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 결과는 다음과 같다. 주관적 건강수준에서 여자가 3.16점으로 높았고, 연령은 높아질수록 낮았으며, 비 흡연자에서 3.17점으로 높았고, 주관적 구강건강수준은 연령이 높을수록 낮았고, 최종학력에서는 대졸이상이 3.04점으로 가장 높았으며, 흡연을 하지 않는 경우 2.87점으로 높았다. 증후증상 합은 여자가 1.41점으로, 연령이 낮을수록 증상의 인식이 없었다. 최종학력은 높을수록 월 소득은 많을수록, 비 흡연자에서 구강 내 증상 인식수준이 낮았다. 일반적 특성에 따른 삶의 질을 분석한 결과, OHIP-14는 최종학력이 높을수록, 전신질환 없는 경우 54.71점으로 높았으며, 단일문항 행복지수는 학력이 높을수록, 전신질환이 없는 경우 6.48점으로 높았다. 또한 5문항 행복지수는 학력이 높을수록, 전신질환이 없는 경우 3.82점으로 높았다. OHIP-14에 미치는 요인으로 증후증상 합이었으며, 행복지수, 주관적 구강건강상태순 등으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 행복지수에 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 변인은 OHIP-14이었으며, 주관적 건강상태, 학력_고졸이하, 만성질환 유무 순 등으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 삶의 질 향상을 위해서는 주관적인 인식수준의 개선이 필요하며, 인식수준개선을 위한 다양한 보건교육프로그램과 함께 정확한 정보를 전달할 수 있는 장의 마련이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
