Purpose
The study was done to develop a shared decision-making scale for end-of-life patients in Korea.
Methods
The process included construction of a conceptual framework, generation of initial items, verification of content validity, selection of secondary items, preliminary study, and extraction of final items. The participants were 388 adults who lived in one of 3 Korean metropolitan cities: Seoul, Daegu, or Busan. Item analysis, factor analysis, criterion related validity, and internal consistency were used to analyze the data. Data collection was done from July to October 2011.
Results
Thirty-four items were selected for the final scale, and categorized into 7 factors explaining 61.9% of the total variance. The factors were labeled as sharing information (9 items), constructing system (7 items), explanation as a duty (5 items), autonomy (4 items), capturing time (3 items), participation of family (3 items), and human respect (3 items). The scores for the scale were significantly correlated among shared decision-making scale, terminating life support scale, and dignified dying scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 34 items was .94.
Conclusion
The above findings indicate that the shared decision-making scale has a good validity and reliability when used for end-of-life patients in Korea.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a nurse presence program on suicide prevention for elders with chronic disease.
METHOD: The subjects were recruited from two different elderly institutions located in D city and K province, Korea. Twenty subjects in the control group received no intervention and nineteen subjects in the experimental group received a nurse presence program.
RESULT: There were more significant decreases in suicide ideation, and the cortisol level and increases in life satisfaction in the experimental group compared to the control group.
CONCLUSION: According to the above results, a nurse presence program for elders with a chronic disease decreased stressful events like suicide ideation and increased self esteem through therapeutic interaction. These findings suggest that this program can be used as an efficient independent nursing intervention for elders in a critical situation.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of uncertainty, hope and quality of life in patients with breast cancer.
Method
The subjects of the study were 113 breast cancer patients treated at 3 university hospitals in Daegu and Busan from June 1 to September 30, 2003. Uncertainty was measured by the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), Hope was measured by Nowotny's Hope Scale, and quality of life by Ro's Korean Quality of Life(QOL). Data was analyzed with the SPSS program by t-test, ANOVA, Spearman's rank correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis.
Result
The scores of uncertainty were negatively correlated with hope and QOL(all p's<0.05). Uncertainty revealed that there was a negative correlation among subitems of hope such as confidence, relationship with others, possibility of future, and inner motivation(r=-.333, p=.000; r=-.230, p=.015; r=-.260, p=.006; r=-.291, p=.003). Uncertainty also showed a negative correlation among subitems of QOL such as emotional status, self esteem, and relationship with family(r=-.29, p=.004; r=-.326, p=.000; r=-.197, p=.044), whereas hope revealed a positive correlation among subitems of QOL such as emotional status, self esteem, relationship with neighbor, and relationship with family(r=.243, p=.011; r=.487, p=.000; r=.29, p=.001; r=.29, p=.001). The score of uncertainty was low in graduate school students and subjects using problem solving as a coping method. However, the score of hope was high in college students and subjects using a problem solving method, and the score of QOL was high in professionals.
Conclusion
Based on the study results, breast cancer patients experienced living with uncertainty and maintaining hope. Thus the study's findings can be useful in directing a comprehensive nursing care plan to improve QOL of breast cancer patients.

Abstract
PDF
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop Nurse's Suffering Experience Scale and to test the reliability and validity of the instrument.
METHOD: The subjects used to verify the scale's reliability and validity were 220 nurses who were taking care of the end stage cancer patients, while working at university and general hospitals in Daegu and Kyungbuk province from April 20. to July 10, 2001. The data was analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 8.0 program.
RESULTS: A factor analysis was conducted, and items that had a factor loading more than .40, and an eigen value more than 1.0. were selected. The factor analysis classified a total of seven factors statistically, and it's communality was 44%. The explanation of factors based on the conceptual framework and item content are as follows: The first factor was expanding self consciousness, the second factor was forming empathy with family, the third factor was professional challenge, the fourth factor was change of values, the fifth factor was spiritual sublimation, the sixth factor was helplessness, and finally the seventh factor was rejection to death. Cronbach's coefficient to test reliability of the scale was .8665 for total of 44 items. The Scale for Nurse's Suffering Experience developed in the study was identified as a tool with a high degree of reliability and validity. Therefore this scale can be effectively utilized for the evaluation of the degree of nurse's suffering experience in clinical settings.

PURPOSE: The Purpose of this study is to understand the meaning and the essence of suffering as viewpoint and to find the meaning and structure of the experience from encounters with patients in their terminal stages of illness. METHOD A descriptive design based on the phenomenological approach model developed by Collaizzi was used. The period of data collection was from August to November of 2000. Data collection was conducted by open-ended and audio-taped interviews. The participants were nine female nurses who were willing to take part in this study. RESULTS Results of this study were classified into five main categories. The main category clusters were "difficulty in experiencing suffering," "professional challenges to expert nurses," "formation of empathic relationships," "expanding consciousness through suffering," and "alleviation of the patient's suffering." CONCLUSION In conclusion, the implications for providing nursing care to end-stage patients in the throes of suffering is both rewarding and stressful. However, sharing these research results may help other nurses discover and experience deeper meanings in their own practice and careers.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop the Nurse Presence Scale and to test the
reliability and validity of the instrument. METHOD: The subjects verifying the scale's reliability and
validity were adult patients being treated in three artificial kidney unit in Pusan and Taegu from
August 1 to October 15, 2000. The data was analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 8.0 program. RESULT: A
factor analysis and was conducted items that had a factor loading more than .40, and an eigen value
more than 1.0 were seleclted. The factor analysis classified a total of seven factors statistically, but
the seventh factor was excluded because communality was less than 4%. Therefore, there were six
factors, and its communality was 62%. The explanation of domain and factors based on the conceptual
framework and item content are as follows: The first factor was 'interaction' in emotional areas, the
second domain was 'empathy' in cognitive areas, the third was 'attention' in emotional areas, the
fourth was 'openness' in emotional areas, the fifth was 'sensitivity' in behavioral areas, and the sixth
was 'physical assist' in behavioral areas. Cronbach's alpa coefficient to test reliability of the scale was
.9766 for a total 49 items. CONCLUSION: The Scale for Nurse Presence developed in the study was
identified as a tool with a high degree of reliability and validity. Therefore, this scale can be
effectively utilized for the evaluation of nurse presence in clinical settings.

Abstract
PDF
This study is a methodical research to develop a health behavior assessment scale for patients with
rheumatoid arthritis, and to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. The research procedure
was as follows;
1) The first step was to develop conceptual framework based on a comprehensive review of the
literature, in-depth interviews patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This conceptual framework was
organized in eight dimensions; pain management, exercise, rest, diet control, active committment,
self-management, positive thinking, interpersonal maintenance. Initially 56 items were selected from
164 statement.
2) These items were reviewed by panel of eight specialists and the Index of Content validity (CVI)
was calculated, and forty six items were selected which met more than 70% on the CVI.
3) 174 rheumatoid arthritis pateints were interviewed, and data was gathered from Jan. 25 to Feb.
18, 1999 for test reliabilities and validities of the scale. The item analysis was carried out and
40 items were selected. Factor analysis by varimax rotation was carried out to test construct
validity. The internal consistency by chronbach's alpha was calculated.
The findings were as follows;
1) Item analysis and factor analysis were carried out to test the validity of the health behavior
assessment scale. The item analysis was based on the corrected item`s to total correlation
coefficient (.30 or more), and information about the alpha estimate. However, this was only if
this item was deleted from the scale. As a result of the item analysis, forty items were selected.
Thirty items were selected by a initial factor analysis by varimax rotation, and ten items were
deleted because of factor complexity. In the secondary factor analysis, eight factors were labled
as 'positive thinking', 'exercise', 'rest', 'pain management', 'active committment',
'self-management', 'diet control', and 'interpersonal maintenance', each similar with the
conceptual framework.
2) Chronbach's alpha coefficient to test reliability of the scale was. 903 for total the thirty items.
The Scale for assessing health behavior developed in this study was identified to be a tool with a high
degree of reliability and validity. Therefore this scale can be effectively utilized for assessment in the
health behaviors of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of anticipated variables on hemodialysis that was impact patients' quality of life.
The subjects of the study were 104 patients who were over 18 years old. They were enrolled at Kidney dialysis unit in General Hospital located in T and M city, Republic Korea. And the duration of treatment was more than 6 months. They all met the research criteria and agreed to participate in the research. The research instrument have 25 questionnaire which were originally Ferrans' (1985) instrument to measure the quality of life for hemodialysis patients and later changed by Lee, Suk-Ja into the 35 items after eliminating repeated contents, the Cronbach's alphain this study was .87. The stress instrument was measured by 36 items which were modified and supplemented the instrument developed by Kim, Yong-Kyong(15) for hemodialysis patients, and the Cronbach's alphawas .9333. Depression instrument was 20 questions modified BDI(Beck Depression Inventory) to meet hemodialysis patients' conditions, and Cronbach's alpha was .92. The period of collecting data was from March 6 to June 25, 1999 and the data was analyzed by SPSS/PC, and the statistical techniques were ANOVA(variables analysis), Scheffe test, Multiple Regression.
The findings of this study were as follows:
1. The effect of general characteristics on hemodialysis patients' quality of life, the characteristics showing a statistically, significant difference were the existence of an occupation(t=6.7353, P= .0109), marital status (F=4.3550, P= .0290), economic status (F=4.6475, P= .0118) and presence of care support (F=2..4738, P= .0494).
2. The effect of general characteristics on the patient's stress, the characteristics showing a significant difference were gender (t= 4.1143, p= .0451), education level (F= 4.3550, p= .008), the existence of an occupation (t=8.7498, p= .0038), and presence of care support(F=3.1715, p= .0169).
3. The effects of general characteristics on depression, the characteristics were education level (F=3.7517, P= .0069), the existence of religion(t=9.4843, p= .0027), an occupation (t=15.3745, p= .0002), marital status (F=3.3400, P= .0223) and presence of care support (F=3.7605, p= .0069).
4. The Multiple Regression is used to identify the effect of anticipated variables on the patient's quality of life. The variables were depression (T=-9.656, P=.000), marital status (T=-2.287, P=.0243) and the regression expression was Y=117.62053 - 1.13618X1 + 2.66213X2(X1: Depression, X2 : Marriage), The explanation of the total regression expression appeared to be 52.578%.
