Purpose
Despite the high prevalence of back pain and its subsequent effects in post-partum women, intervention programs are scarce. The purpose of this study was to test the effects of a back-pain-reducing program on post-partum women who experienced low-back pain during pregnancy.
Methods
A non-equivalent control-group pretest-posttest design was used. Pregnant women who attended a hospital for prenatal check-ups and experienced back pain participated in an intervention program (n=27), and the results were compared with women in a control group from another hospital (n=25).
Results
At 8 weeks post-partum, the pain intensity, functional limitations were lower in the intervention group than in the control group. However, differences in mean change of the pain intensity and functional limitations between 36 and 39 weeks of gestation and at 8 weeks post-partum were not statistically significant between the groups. Moreover, the flexibility, post-partum functional status, and post-partum depression did not differ significantly between the groups.
Conclusions
A back-pain-relief program in this study was not effective to reduce the back-pain intensity in post-partum women and to decrease the associated functional limitations. The implications for nursing practice and directions for future research are discussed.

Purpose
The purposes of this study were to examine the amount of daily fluid intake among nursing home residents and to explore the caregiver's perceived barriers to elderly's fluid intake.
Method
Data was collected from 111 nursing home residents and 64 caregiver's in 4 nursing homes. A random, non-consecutive three days of 24 hour fluid intake was measured and recorded. The caregiver's perceived barriers to elderly's fluid intake was assessed using a structured questionnaire.
Results
The average amount of daily fluid intake was 1,035(SD=359)ml with the range of 210ml to 2,050ml. About 52% (n=58) of the subjects had a less than adequate fluid intake. The amount of daily fluid intake was significantly associated with age, mental status, physical functioning, and the number of oral medications ordered. The most frequently mentioned caregiver's perceived barrier was elderly's concern about incontinence with increased fluid intake.
Conclusion
Inadequate fluid intake among nursing home residents is prevalent. To enhance adequate hydration of nursing home residents, an institution wide nursing intervention is necessary.

Purpose
The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among community-dwelling older women in Korea is not well known. This study examined the prevalence of UI and UI-related knowledge among community-dwelling Korean women aged 55 and over.
Method
A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study was conducted. Data were collected from 276 women aged 55 and over in a metropolitan city using a structured questionnaire.
Result
Of 276 respondents, 28.3% (n=78) reported experiencing UI. More than 50% of respondents incorrectly agreed with the statement that UI is the result of normal aging, with only 20.9% realizing that there is an exercise that can control urine leaks when one coughs, sneezes, or laughs. Older women who had sought treatment had higher mean score for UI-related knowledge.
Conclusion
This study revealed substantial misconception about UI among community dwelling older women, demonstrating that comprehensive educational programs need to be developed to increase knowledge of UI.

Abstract
PDF
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of respite care. The analysis was conducted by reviewing published intervention studies on the effects of formal respite care for caregivers of dementia patients, patients with dementia, and the prevented or delayed rate of institutionalization of the patients. METHOD Two computerized databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL) were searched to find respite care-related articles published from the year of 1981 to 2000. A total of 49 published articles were identified. Of them, nine studies, which met for the inclusion criteria of this study, were included. RESULTS Results revealed that there was little evidence of the effect of respite care on, not only caregivers' burden, stress, depression and well-being, but also the rate of institutionalization of the patients. It was noteworthy that dementia patients reported fewer problems in behavior, although cognitive functioning and activity of daily living abilities continued to decline. However, these findings should be carefully interpreted because of methodological problems, such as non-random sampling, non random group assignment, a small sample size, uncontrolled confounding variables, limited period of services, and no specific types of services. CONCLUSION It is recommended to conduct intervention studies of respite care being conducted in Korea with the corrections of methodological problems suggested from this study.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of the present study is 1) to explain major effect models (main, moderating, and mediating) of social support and statistical methods for testing the effect models and 2) to analyze and evaluate the consistency in the use of the effect models and its statistical methods in Korean nursing studies. A total of 57 studies were selected from Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing, Journal of Korean Academic Society of Adult Nursing, Journal of Korean Women's Health Nursing Academic Society, Journal of Fundamentals of Nursing, Journal of Korean Community Nursing, Journal of Korean Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Academic Society, and Journal of Korean Pediatric Nursing Academic Society published in the year of 1990-1999.
In results, most studies on social support performed in Korea Nursing Society were about a main effect model. There are few studies on moderating or mediating model of social support. Thus, it was difficult to find research findings how, why, under what conditions social support impacted on health outcomes. Most studies on the moderating or mediating effect model of social support used statistical methods for testing main effect model rather than for testing moderating or mediating effect model. That is, there are inconsistency between effect models of social support and its statistical methods in Korean nursing researches. Therefore, it is recommended to perform studies on moderating or mediating effect model and use appropriate statistical methods.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study was to examine the health status of the daughter and daughter- in-law
caregivers who care for a cognitively and/or functionally impaired elderly, individual to identify factors that
were related to reported health outcomes, and to investigate the negative and positive impacts of family
caregiving. Data was collected from 120 daughter and daughter-in-law caregivers and care-recipients using
face to face interviews. Most caregivers were daughters- in-law (77.5%) and most care-recipients were female
(88.3%). Sixty-eight percent (n=81) of caregivers reported depressive symptomatology. General health also
deteriorated by caregiving. Caregivers reported several negative impacts (difficulties): care-recipients' problematic
behaviors, deterioration of their own health, pressure from social norms related to family caregiving in Korea,
intrafamily conflict, and economic problems. Contrary to the popular belief, caregivers reported diverse positive
impacts of family caregiving (68.3%): a sense of filial responsibilities, recognition from elderly, family members,
relatives, and society, education for the children, and familial harmony. Higher depression score was predicted
by lower family income, the presence of cognitive impairment of care-recipients, and higher level of social
conflict of caregivers. Poor general health of caregivers was predicted by older caregivers' age, lower
competing roles of caregivers, and poor emotional health. While not seeking to deny the negative aspects of
family caregiving, it is also necessary to understand positive aspects of family caregiving to see complete
picture of caring for an elderly family member.

Abstract
PDF
Little is known about the impact of family caregiving for the demented elderly in Korea. The purpose of this
study was to identify the current state of development of family caregiving research for the demented elderly in
Korea and to identify correlates of caregiver or health problems and burdens within the socio-political contexts of
Korea. A critical review of 17 family caregivers was carried out. The review revealed that various caregiving
impacts and correlates of caregiver burden or health problems have been studied in relation to demented elderly
family caregiving. Family caregiving for the demented elderly is a very complex phenomenon and various factors were
related to caregiver burden, or their emotional and physical health. Findings from studies reviewed have shown inconsistent,
inconclusive, and contradictory results. Furthermore, several conceptual and methodological problems were identified in
the studies reviewed: restricted conceptualization, unrepresentative study samples, inadequate sample size, inappropriate study
design, absence of comparison groups, inappropriate psychometric properties, and uncontrolled confounding factors. More
research, as well as directions for further research, is recommended to identify family caregiving the impact of for
the demented elderly, and to clarify the factors that explain results.
