Yang-Sook Yoo, Eun-Ju Lee, Ok-Hee Cho
J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(3):409-419.   Published online June 28, 2013

AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to describe and explore the experience process of life of patients with Crohn's disease.

Methods

Using a grounded theory methodology, 24 interviews were performed with 7 men and 5 women, 17-47 years of age, suffering from Crohn's disease.

Results

'Tuning of two conflicting lives' was identified as the core category, and 5 subcategories were identified and they were integrated into the core category. The identified outcomes were 'Living a withdrawn life', 'coping flexibly', 'drifting with tangled emotions' and 'maintaining long-term remission'.

Conclusion

When caring for these patients, it is important to identify needs, allow patients to express what they want at that moment and support them in maintaining a daily life that can be perceived as normal.

Factors Influencing Problem and Pathological Gambling in Participants of Horse Race Gambling
Mi-Yeul Hyun, Ok-Hee Cho
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(4):589-598.   Published online August 31, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.4.589
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine risk factors for pathological gambling of horse race participants.

Methods

The participants, 508 horse race gamblers, completed the DSM-IV criteria of pathological gambling, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-K) and Symptom Checklist-47-Revision (SCL-47-R). Data were analyzed using t-test, χ2-test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression analyses. Behaviors related to horse racing, alcohol abuse, and mental health were analyzed between problem or pathological gamblers compared to recreational gamblers.

Results

The prevalence rates of recreational, problem, and pathological gambling were 36.6%, 39.4%, and 24.0%, respectively. Frequency of gambling (≥4/day), frequency of racetrack visiting (≥3/month), accompaniment (alone), and mental health (SCL-47-R scores) were all associated with increased risks of problem and pathological gambling. Expenditure on betting (≥200,000 won/day) and alcohol abuse (AUDIT-K 8-20 scores) group members had higher levels of gambling pathology than recreational gamblers.

Conclusion

Problem and pathological gambling are highly associated with alcohol abuse and mental health disorders, suggesting that clinicians should carefully evaluate this population.

Depression and Risk Factors in Patients with Crohn's Disease
Ok-Hee Cho, Yang-Sook Yoo, Suk-Kyun Yang
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(2):207-216.   Published online April 30, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.2.207
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was conducted to determine the risk factors among patients with depression with Crohn's disease.

Methods

Data were collected by questionnaire from 276 patients who were diagnosed with Crohn's disease at a tertiary hospital located in Seoul. Measurements included patients' demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, depression level, and health-related quality of life. Data were analyzed using t-test, χ2-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and logistic regression analyses.

Results

The incidence rate of depression (BDI-II≥14scores) was 31.9% (n=88). Univariate analysis revealed that being a woman, school graduation status, economic status (low), BMI(<18.5Kg/m2), disease duration (≥3 years), CDAI (≥150 scores), frequency of hospital admission (≥2), extra-intestinal manifestation (arthralgia, stomatitis), administration of 5-aminosalicylic acid, and disease related quality of life (SIBDQ<50 scores) were associated with depression. Multivariate analysis revealed that economic status (low), school graduation status, and quality of life (SIBDQ<50 scores) were more likely to report high level of depression.

Conclusion

Future research should consider managing depression as an essential component of comprehensive care for patients with Crohn's disease. In addition, further research is needed to develop strategies to better improve quality of life among patients with Crohn's disease who are depressed.

Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infections in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy
Kyeong-Sook Cha, Ok-Hee Cho, So-Yeon Yoo
J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(2):298-305.   Published online April 30, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.2.298
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) after craniotomy.

Methods

This study was a retrospective case-control study of 103 patients who had craniotomies between March 2007 and December 2008. A retrospective review of prospectively collected databases of consecutive patients who underwent craniotomy was done. SSIs were defined by using the Centers for Disease Control criteria. Twenty-six cases (infection) and 77 controls (no infection) were matched for age, gender and time of surgery. Descriptive analysis, t-test, χ2-test and logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis.

Results

The statistical difference between cases and controls was significant for hospital length of stay (>14 days), intensive care unit stay more than 15 days, Glasgrow Coma Scale (GCS) score (≤7 days), extra-ventricular drainage and coexistent infection. Risk factors were identified by logistic regression and included hospital length of stay of more than 14 days (odds ratio [OR]=23.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]=2.53-216.11) and GCS score (≤7 scores) (OR=4.71, 95% CI=1.64-13.50).

Conclusion

The results of this study show that patients are at high risk for infection when they have a low level of consciousness or their length hospital stay is long term. Nurses have to take an active and continuous approach to infection control to help with patients having these risk factors.
