Purpose
This descriptive study was done to identify the relationship between health literacy and health status and to provide basic data for developing nursing interventions for Korean-Chinese elders living in Yanbian, China.
Methods
For data collection, intentional sampling of 300 elders was used. The questionnaire was composed of 5 items based on "Ministry of Health, the People's Republic of China (2008)" to measure health literacy, 33 health status items from the "Korean Health Status Measure for Elderly People" developed by Shin (2002), revised for use in China, and 9 general characteristics. Data were analyzed using SPSS Win 13.0 program.
Results
Total level of health literacy was relatively high (68.7%). Elders had high scores for taking medicines according to doctor's instruction, but lower ones for full comprehension through communication with doctors. Health status was high for emotional, physical, and social function in that order. There were significant differences between general characteristics and health status for gender, age, marital status, education, family, smoking, and alcohol consumption in that order. Results of multiple regression analysis for factors influencing health status showed that self-report health level was the most influential, followed by health literacy, age, gender.
Conclusion
Health literacy is the main factor affecting health promotion among minority elders indicating a need to develop health promotion programs for elders who have low health literacy.

Abstract
PDF
This study, was done to compare the nursing education systems of China and South Korea (Korea), then,
on the basis of this comparison, to examine the direction of nursing education in China. The results the
study are as follows:
1. Nursing education in Korea was influenced by social change, political policy, but as it was
established, nurses in Korea, were able actively involved in presenting nursing education development proposals
to the government, and in developing nursing education through their own efforts. Nursing education in
China developed through the political policy of a socialist Country. During the period of modernization after
1977, a nursing education developed very quickly, In 1983, the first baccalaureate nursing education program
was established and, in 1992, the first masters program was opened.
2. In Korea, there are two nursing education systems; diploma and baccalaureate, and there is only one entry
level, high school graduation. In China today, on the other hand, there are three types of nursing education
systems; technical, diploma, and baccalaureate, and they have middle school and high school graduation as
the two levels of entry.
3. There are similarities between China and Korea in curriculums for nursing education which include the major
nursing concepts. But in descriptions of the education objectives, China the emphasis is on training the
'expert' in clinical nursing which is not consistent with their educational philosophy. Korea differs from
China in that the focus is on training for 'multiple ability' to be used in both clinical and community
environments.
4. In Korea, the curriculum is organized with the theoretical and clinical experience combined. The curriculum is
oriented to the life cycle and human developmental process. In China, however, the curriculum is
organized so that after finishing the theoretical part of the curriculum, the students begin a one year
intensive field experience in which the major clinical field is the hospital, and the focus is on disease
oriented care and research ability.
5. In order for nurses to be proposed to address nursing education system needs follows : to change as The new
nursing education system should be baccalaureate education in order to improve the education level in all
nursing education programs, to develop doctoral programs, to open nurse specialist programs, and to
develop a new curriculum based nursing philosophy and health delivery system change. New nursing
curriculum for health care in China in the 21st century should be directed by a framework based
on nursing philosophy, objectives and nursing content.
In conclusion, the study will contribute China nursing education system revolution for policy develop and
curriculum research. According to these results, in the future, nurses in China should be more actively
involved in research and in a nursing education revolution, Also they should be involved in building
information networks and in developing long term projects in nursing education.

Abstract
PDF
This study was done to investigate the lives of the daughters- in- law caring for parents with dementia and participate in their lives through having quality time with them. Data were collected by depth interviews and interpreted through the hermeneutic circle as follows. These daughters-in-law have conflict between social custom and subjective self. They had ambivalence toward their demented partents-in- law and were fighting a battle between rationality and emotions in their mind. These daughters-in law and mothers-in- law did not get along and the parents' dementia aggravated the relationships. They were alienated from their family by the parents with dementia. The indifference of their family especially their husbands, made these subjects live in misery. They cared for the demented mother-in-law with hatred. Even though they had this yoke, there daughters- in-law were not able to throw off the shackles of convention.
