Effects of a Postpartum Back Pain Relief Program for Korean Women
Hyun Ei Oh, Young Sook Lee, Mi Jung Shim, Jin Sun Kim
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):163-170.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.163
AbstractAbstract PDF
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.

Trends in Patient Satisfaction from 1989-2003: Adjusted for Patient Characteristics
Sung Hyun Cho, Chang yup Kim
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):171-178.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.171
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

To identify trends in patient satisfaction adjusted for sociodemographic factors and health status from 1989-2003.

Methods

Five repeated cross-sectional surveys were used. The study sample included 290,534 household members 20 years of age and over from the five survey periods of 1989, 1992, 1995, 1999, and 2003. Satisfaction was measured using a five-point scale, ranging from “very satisfied” to “very dissatisfied.” Crude satisfaction rates, representing the proportion of patients satisfied (very satisfied or satisfied), were calculated for each survey period. Satisfaction rates adjusted for age, sex, marital status, education, and selfrated health status were calculated for each of the five years.

Results

Crude satisfaction rates increased from 15.4% in 1989 to 40.5% in 2003. The proportions of satisfaction and dissatisfaction were reversed after 15 years had passed. However, the satisfaction trend was not linear throughout the different years, with 1992 being the year with the lowest satisfaction rate (9.7%). These trends in crude rates did not change even after adjusting for patient characteristics. The odds of satisfaction in 1992 were 38% lower (odds ratio 0.62, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.64) than the odds in 1989. In 2003, the odds of satisfaction were 4.01 times (95% CI 3.89 to 4.13) the odds for 1989. Older, female, married, and less-educated people were more likely to be satisfied. Patients who rated their health as “very good” had the highest satisfaction rate, and those with “neutral” health ratings had the lowest. General hospitals achieved substantial improvement whereas pharmacies became the lowest-rated of all institutions.

Conclusions

The Korean health system has achieved better patient satisfaction rates over the past 15 years. Increased health expenditure, resources, and quality improvement efforts may have contributed to this progress.

Kyung Ja Lee, Myoung Sook Kwon, Mi Ja Kim, Seong Mi Moon
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):179-184.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.179
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge and the attitudes of Korean adults toward sexuality of elderly people.

Methods

This was a descriptive study using a convenience sample of 241 adults. The questionnaire had 34 items for knowledge and 26 items for attitudes.

Results

The result showed that, related to sexuality of elderly people, the level of knowledge was average and attitudes were conservative. The level of knowledge was significantly higher in groups that were highly educated and of low economic status (p<.05). Attitudes toward sexuality of elderly people were significantly more conservative in female, older, less educated, and high economic status group.

Conclusion

The findings suggest a need for more education for Korean adults regarding sexuality in elderly people.

Myoung Soo Kim, Jung Soon Kim, In Sook Jung, Young Hae Kim, Ho Jung Kim
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):185-191.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.185
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate an error reporting promoting program(ERPP) to systematically reduce the incidence rate of nursing errors in operating room.

Methods

A non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design was used. Twenty-six operating room nurses who were in one university hospital in Busan participated in this study. They were stratified into four groups according to their operating room experience and were allocated to the experimental and control groups using a matching method. Mann-Whitney U Test was used to analyze the differences pre and post incidence rates of nursing errors between the two groups.

Results

The incidence rate of nursing errors decreased significantly in the experimental group compared to the pre-test score from 28.4% to 15.7%. The incidence rate by domains, it decreased significantly in the 3 domains-“compliance of aseptic technique”, “management of document”, “environmental management” in the experimental group while it decreased in the control group which was applied ordinary error-reporting method.

Conclusion

Error-reporting system can make possible to hold the errors in common and to learn from them. ERPP was effective to reduce the errors of recognition-related nursing activities. For the wake of more effective error-prevention, we will be better to apply effort of risk management along the whole health care system with this program.

Transformational Experience of a Student Nurse with Diabetes: A Case Study
Hye Jung Choi, Young Sang Hong
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):192-200.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.192
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The current study was aimed to investigate the transformational experience of a female student nurse living with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

A case study of a 24-year-old diabetes patient was conducted, with interviews concerning the evolving process she had lived through during the period from her later high school years to her graduation from nursing college.

Results

Followings were identified as 5-transformation process: With her diabetes-related limitation, the participant experienced ‘ conflict involving choosing a college and major’. The participant tried to be in charge of managing her diabetes and stepped forward to ‘ adaptation to college life as a new environment’, and she learned more about the process of ‘ evolving awareness of caring’ and developed herself further through the process of ‘ integration of the nurse identity into self-identity’, and finally through the process of ‘ progression and preparation for getting a job’ she achieved her goals, being positive about the future.

Conclusions

The results of the study can provide individuals with diabetes a way of self-management and help the patients and their families in diabetes education. Further research will be needed to refine the results of this study and to learn more about the experiences of patients with type I diabetes in college years.

The Influence of Culture on the Experiences of Korean, Korean American, and Caucasian-American Family Caregivers of Frail Older Adults: A Literature Review
Eun Hi Kong
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):213-220.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.213
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this review is to explore cultural influences on the experiences of Korean, Korean American, and Caucasian American family caregivers caring for frail older adults in terms of the selection of a primary caregiver, caregiving motivation, support/help-seeking, and negative emotional responses(depression and burden).

Methods

Seven electronic databases were searched to retrieve studies from 1966 to 2005. Thirty-two studies were identified.

Results

This review supported cultural influences on the selection of primary caregiver, caregiving motivation, and support/help-seeking among the three caregiver groups. In Korean caregivers, the major primary caregivers were daughters-in-law while among Korean American and Caucasian American caregivers, the major primary caregivers were daughters or spouses. As a major caregiving motivation, Caucasian American caregivers reported filial affection while Korean caregivers and Korean American caregivers reported filial obligation. Korean caregivers reported higher extended family support, while Caucasian American caregivers reported higher utilization of formal support. Korean caregivers showed the highest levels of depression followed by Korean American caregivers and Caucasian American caregivers.

Conclusion

In order to develop culturally appropriate interventions and policies, more research is needed to further explain these differences among the three groups, especially regarding support/help-seeking and negative emotional responses.

Effects of Skin Rehabilitation Massage Therapy on Pruritus, Skin Status, and Depression in Burn Survivors
Young Sook Roh, Hee Cho, Jung Ok Oh, Cheon Jae Yoon
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):221-226.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.221
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

Hypertrophic scarring and depression are the principal problems of burn rehabilitation. This study was done to verify the effects of skin rehabilitation massage therapy (SRMT) on pruritus, skin status, and depression for Korean burn survivors.

Methods

A pretest-posttest design using a nonequivalent control group was applied to examine the effects of SRMT for 3 months in a group of 18 burn survivors. The major dependent variables-including pruritus, objective and subjective scar status, and depression-were measured at the beginning and at the end of the therapy to examine the effects of SRMT.

Results

Burn survivors receiving SRMT showed reduced pruritus, improved skin status, and depression. The remaining scar also showed improvement in skin pigmentation, pliability, vascularity, and height (compared to the surrounding skin) as measured on the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).

Conclusions

The findings demonstrate that SRMT for burn survivors may improve their scars both objectively and subjectively, and also reduce pruritus and depression.

Associations between Smoking and Depression in Adolescence: An Integrative Review
Sunhee Park, Dan Romer
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):227-241.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.227
AbstractAbstract PDF
Background

Although research has established the existence of an association between smoking and depression among adolescents, researchers have not reached consensus on the nature of the association.

Objectives

The purpose of this paper is to review the literature, to examine the nature of the relationship between smoking and depression in adolescence, and to suggest future research directions.

Method

A literature search was conducted from the following six databases: (a) Ovid MEDLINE, (b) CINAHL, (c) PubMed Unrestricted, (d) PsycINFO, (e) ERIC, and (f) Sociological Abstracts. The combinations of the words, “depression,” “smoking,” “tobacco,” “adolescent,” and “teen” were used for keyword searches to find relevant articles.

Results

In 47 of 57 studies, significant associations between smoking and depression were found. However, these significant relationships may either be spurious or unrelated to depression because a substantial number of studies did not adjust for confounders or did not use validated instruments to measure depression. Additionally, if the relationship is causal, its direction remains controversial. Five relationships have been suggested: (a) Depression causes smoking, (b) smoking causes depression, (c) there is a bidirectional relationship between smoking and depression, (d) smoking and depression occur due to confounders, and (e) subgroups with different relationships between the two conditions exist.

Conclusions

It is necessary to further explore the relationship between smoking and depression. Future research should consider the need for: (a) longitudinal research designs, (b) more accurate measurement of depression, and (c) the control of confounders between smoking and depression.

Subjective and Objective Caregiver Burden in Parkinson's Disease
Keum Soon Kim, Bog Ja Kim, Kyung Hee Kim, Myoung Ae Choe, Myungsun Yi, Yang Sook Hah, Sun Ju Chung, So Hi Kwon
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):242-248.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.242
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor disabilities and increasing dependence on others for daily life activities with consequent impact on patients' and caregivers' quality of life. The aim of this study was to elucidate the burden on primary caregivers of patients with PD, and identify related factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional descriptive study. Seventy-six primary caregivers of PD patients in a neurology outpatient clinic, Seoul, Korea completed structured questionnaires, of which 68 were analyzed. The structured self-report questionnaire included (1) demographic information on the caregivers, (2) information regarding the disease characteristics of the patients, and (3) the subjective and objective caregiver burdens as assessed on Montgomery, Gonyea, & Hooyman's scale.

Results

The mean age of the caregivers was 54.56 years, and spouses represented the largest proportion(47.0%). Caregivers of PD patients experienced high levels of burden (mean scores on the subjective and objective burdens were 45.22 and 34.90, respectively), which were comparable to the caregiver burdens in stroke, and higher than the caregiver burdens in general chronic disease. Older caregivers and spousal caregivers experienced significantly higher burdens (p=.004 and p=.019, respectively). A greater motor disability and higher modified Hoehn and Yahr grade were related to higher caregiver burden (p=.001 and p=.018, respectively).

Conclusion

Caring for PD patients is associated with a high level of caregiver burden. Therefore, healthcare professionals should identify the burden of caregivers who look after PD patients and develop comprehensive management strategies both for patients and their caregivers.

Effects of a Sun-style Tai Chi Exercise on Arthritic Symptoms, Motivation and the Performance of Health Behaviors in Women with Osteoarthritis
Rhayun Song, Eun Ok Lee, Paul Lam, Sang Cheol Bae
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(2):249-256.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.2.249
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

Tai Chi exercise, an ancient Chinese martial art, has drawn more and more attention for its health benefits. The purpose of the study was to identify the effects of a Sun-style Tai Chi exercise on arthritic symptoms (joint pain and stiffness), motivation for performing health behaviors, and the performance of health behaviors among older women with osteoarthritis.

Methods

Total of 72 women with the mean age of 63 years old were recruited from outpatients clinic or public health centers according to the inclusion criteria and assigned randomly to either the Tai Chi exercise group or the control. A Sun-style Tai Chi exercise has been provided three times a week for the first two weeks, and then once a week for another 10 weeks. In 12 weeks of study period, 22 subjects in the Tai Chi exercise group and 21 subjects in the control group completed the posttest measure with the dropout rate of 41%. Outcome variables included arthritic symptoms measured by K-WOMAC, motivation for health behavior, and health behaviors.

Results

At the completion of the 12 week Tai Chi exercise, the Tai Chi group perceived significantly less joint pain (t=-2.19, p=0.03) and stiffness (t=-2.24, p=0.03), perceived more health benefits (t=2.67, p=0.01), and performed better health behaviors (t=2.35, p=0.02), specifically for diet behavior (t=2.06, p=0.04) and stress management (t=2.97, p=0.005).

Conclusion

A Sun-style Tai Chi exercise was found as beneficial for women with osteoarthritis to reduce their perceived arthritic symptoms, improve their perception of health benefits to perform better health behaviors.
