Factors associated with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms for Patients with Parkinson's Disease: Hyo Jeong Song, Ji Hoon Kang, Eun Joo Lee, Jung-Sik Huh, Young-Joo Kim, Chul Soo Kim, Myung Ja Kim, Seung Kyo Chaung, Hye Ja Park, Hyung Chang Kang, Keun Heau Oh; J Korean Acad Nurs 2009;39(1):116-123. Published online February 28, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2009.39.1.116

Purpose

The study was done to identify lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and to evaluate the factors affecting LUTS for the people with Parkinson's disease.

Methods

The research design was a cross-sectional study with interviews using a structured questionnaire. The participants were 72 patients with Parkinson's disease who were seen in the Neurology clinic of a university hospital from September to November 2005.

Results

Mean score of LUTS for the participants was 10.11. In each symptom score of LUTS (range 0-5), weak stream was the highest 2.06, followed by nocturia 1.71, and urgency 1.61. The severity of LUTS was moderate to severe group for 51%. LUTS were significantly different by regular exercise. Positive correlations were observed between Hoehn and Yahr stage (stage of disease severity) and frequency and between Hoehn and Yahr stage and urgency (r=.280, p=.018; r=.328, p=.005). LUTS were significantly predicted by regular exercise (p=.001) which explained 15.0% of the variance in LUTS.

Conclusion

Regular exercise was found to be a very important factor associated with LUTS for patients with Parkinson's disease.

Predictors of health Promoting Lifestyle for the Korean Immigrants in the U.S.A: Myung Ja Kim, Hyo Jeong Song; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1997;27(2):341-352. Published online March 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1997.27.2.341

Abstract PDF

The study was to examine the relationships among health promoting lifestyle, level of anxiety, and perceived health status and to reveal those variables affecting health promoting lifestyle in Korean immigrants in the United States. The subjects were 425 adults chosen from Korean religious and social organizations located in New York from April 25th through July 5th, 1996. Data analyses were conducted by using pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows : Health promoting lifestyle was significantly different according to age, religion, occupation, and the length of residence in the US. Those insured and those with no chronic conditions revealed a significantly higher score in health promoting lifestyle. Significant differences in the level of anxiety were found according to education, marital status, occupation, family income, and the length of residence. Those with no chronic conditions experienced a significantly lower level of anxiety. In the subscales of the health promoting lifestyle profile, self-actualization and interpersonal relationship revealed higher scores, whereas the scores of stress management, health responsibility, and exercise were lower. Those subjects whose perceived health status was very good, showed the lowest level of anxiety and the highest score on the health promoting lifestyle profile. Negative correlations were observed between the health promoting lifestyle profile and the level of anxiety, and between the perceived health status and the level of anxiety. Health promoting lifestyle was significantly predicted by the level of anxiety(22.0%), age(2.0%), health insurance(1.1%), respectively.
