Purpose
This study was a qualitative research study in which focus group interviews were used to collect data on the meaning of respite for family caregivers who are taking care of elders with dementia.
Methods
The focus group interviews and participants consisted of 2 family caregiver groups, for a total of 8 people taking care of their elders and 5 professional caregivers working in a geriatrics hospital or social welfare institutions. Content analysis was used and debriefing notes were referred in order to analyze the data.
Results
The meaning of respite in this research was measured using 4 main categories: 'Temporary break from routine', 'direct help', 'psychological comfort', 'valuables which cannot be taken easily' and 9 subcategories: 'Temporary diversion of attention', 'temporarily free from my duty', 'taking care of oneself', 'receiving economic help', 'empathize with others', 'comfort based on trust', 'resting together with the elder', 'no time to rest', 'cannot get out of one's obligatory duty'.
Conclusion
The findings of the study show that rest means not only a temporary relief from caretaking, but also a real respite based on the patients' stable state and comfort. These results indicate a new meaning for respite, that the first step of respite program has to begin even when the caregivers do not recognize the need for respite.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study is to develop self-efficacy promotion program and to test its effects on self-efficacy,
self-care, physiologic index of hemodialysis patients after applying this program to them.
Preliminary study was carried out to identify the levels and types of self-care, self-efficacy of hemodialysis
patients. To develop self-efficacy promoting program, several discussions with nursing professors and nurse
specialists on hemodialysis patients were made after in-depth literature review on the area. Through these processes,
the self-efficacy promoting program including 20 minutes long videotape and other counciling documents were
completed.
This videotape consisted of specific self-care techniques for hemodialysis patients including management of fistula,
measurement of blood presure and body weight, special diets, medications, exercise and rest, management of physical
problems and social adjustment.
Two group equivalent pre and post test quasai-experimental research design was used in this study. The total
subjects were 34 hemodialysis patients who received hemodialysis three time per week at 1 university hospital.
Seventeen experimental group subjects were matched with control group subjects in sex and age.
Data were analysed with the SPSS window program.
Homogeniety between experimental and control group pretest data was tested by 2 and t-test. There were no
significanct differences in general characteristics, illness history, specific self-efficacy and self-care between the two
groups.
The differences of general self-efficacy of two groups were tested with the Repeated Measure ANCOVA because
of significant differences of pretest data of general self efficacy between two groups. The differences of
self-efficacy and self-care of two groups were tested with Repeated Measure ANOVA and the differences of
physiologic indecies including blood potassium level and blood phosphorus level and interdialytic weight gain were tested by
t-test.
The results were as follows:
1. There was no significant difference in general self-efficacy between the two groups over four different
time, and no interaction by groups and by time.
2. There was significant difference in specific self-efficacy between the two groups over four different time,
and interaction by groups and by time.
3. There was significant difference in self-care between the two groups over four different time, and
interaction by groups and by time.
4. There were no significant differences of blood potassium level and blood phosphorus level, but there was
significant difference of interdialytic weight gain between the two groups.
From the results above, it can be concluded that the self-efficacy promotion program for hemodialysis patients
was effective to improve degree of specific self-efficacy and self-care and to decrease interdialytic weight gain.
Considering results, the followings are recommended:
1) Repeated studies are needed for another hemodialysis patients.
2) This program can be used for improving degree of self-efficacy and self-care of hemodialysis patients by
nurse practitioner and nurse educator.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between self-efficacy and self-care of hemodialysis patients. The subjects consisted of 140 hemodialysis patients who underwent hemodialysis at 2 university hospital. The data were collected by used the self-efficacy tool developed by Kim Ju Hyune(1995) and the self-care tool developed by literature review and indepth open openended questions to 10 patients. Also, the questionnaire in cluded phusiologic data which collected through review of the patients' charts. The statistical analysis was used the SPSS program for frequency, mean, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. The results were as follows: 1. The mean score for general self-efficacy of hemodialysis patients was 3.103(1-4point) and there were significant differences according to perceived health. The mean score for specific self-efficacy of hemodialysis patients was 3.113 (1-4point) and there were significant differences according to perceived health, side effects and complications which related hemodialysis. 2. The mean score for self-care of hemodialysis patients was 3.822(1-5point) and there were significant differences according to marital status and economic level. 3. The relationship between general self-efficacy and self-care was a positive correlation(P=.000). The relationship between specific self-efficacy and self-care was a positive correlation(P=.000). In conclusion, this study revealed the level of self-efficacy and self-care, and the positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-care on hemodialysis patients. Therefore, intervention is needer to promote self-efficacy for self-care of hemodialysis patients. Considering the vulnerable self-care area same as checking blood pressure and weight, fluid restriction, social adjustment, exercise and rest, further studies should develop self-efficacy promoting programs for self-care of hemodialysis patients.
