The purpose of this study is to determine values and value changes of the four year course nursing college students. The survey was conducted against 262 students of the nursing college, from all classes (freshman, sophomre, junior and senior). This study was conducted during the period of first through 15th of December 1984 in accordance with the L.V. Gordon's "Survey of Interpersonal Values (SIV)". The results of the study were as follows; 1. Those nursing students surveyed show that conformity (16. 32) took the highest place and reconition (10.21) lowest in the general value orientation. In accordance with the Gordon's SIV, those of other woman college students indicate 14%ile?5%ile, respectively. 2. Changes in values by class indicate that freshman, sohpomore and senior students showed similar pattern but junior students showed significantly lower other other classes. The difference should be considered on the basis of statistics (p<.05). Accordingly, the hypho-thesis 1 of this study has been supported. 3. Significant variation has been shown by each class in each factor such as support, conformity, independence and benevolence but no variation has been indicated in leadership and recognition. 4. There was difference in values between higher class (jounior and senior) students with clinical. experience and starting class (freshman and sophomore) students without clinical experience. The study indicates- the values of higher class students is lower than that of starting class students (p<.05). Therefor, the hyphothesis 2 of this study has been supported. 5. There was no significant difference in values between entering students and graduating students (p<. 05). Thus, the hyphothesis 3 of this study has been rejected. The results of the fnding of the study show that there is no positive influence in forming the values, for the students. Therefore, it is concluded that new strategy and special educational program should be established for formulation of the right values for the nursing college students.
This study attempted to measure self-disclosure changes of nurses a result of human relations training. The study population consisted of 49 nurses in Seoul. The instrument used in this study was the Self-disclosure questionnaire developed by Jourard in 1958, was designed to measure verbalized aspects of self-disclosure defined as a voluntary act of revealing personal data about oneself including beliefs, values, feelings and perceptions to another person. The SDG instrument is devided into six areas; attitude, taste and interest, personality, money, work and body. The main findings were summarized as follows; 1. After training, the subjects disclosed more than bsfore. 2. Subjects tended to very the amount of self-disclosure with respect to the category of information to which an item about the self belonged. Two clusters of aspects emerged, a high disclosure cluster including Attitude, Tastes and Interests, Personality and Work, and a low disclosure cluster comprised of Money and Body. 3. Before and after training, there was significant difference in the self-disclosure to the peer nurses. Subjects showed the highest self-disclosure to friend, with lesser amounts to patient. 4. Charge and head nurses showed the highest differences in self-disclosure resulting from human relations training.
The study was carried out to measure the degree of work stress among clinical nurses, and to identify factors influencing the work stress. Data was collected from 215 staff nurses working in the Seoul National University Hospital from the end of February to first of march, 1984. The results and suggestion of study were: 1. Nurses perception of work stress. 1) Mean score of total work stress of nurses was 4.467, when maximum score was 6. High degree of work stress is evident among nurses. 2) The highest rank of stress factor was interpersonal relationship with physicians, night duty, heavy work load, inadequate working condition and payment were other stress factors. 2. Relationships between situational variables and degree of stress. There was significant correlation-ship between nurse's total work stress score and educational levels (r=0.153, P=0.032)
For nursing as a science to establish a unique system of knowledge, nursing researches should include philosophical activities such as critique, analysis and synthesis. As a consequence of these activities, nursing science comes to add up more abundant content of knowledge and have a more refined scientific system. In short, nursing science can be developed in respects of tools and methods through philosophical researches, i.e., philosophy of nursing science. Traditionally, the task of supplying individual science with pertaining methodological principles has been due to philosophy, or philosophy of each Scientic discipline. Philosophy of nursing science establishes a dem arcation between nursing and non-or pseudo-nursing, so that the unique natne of nursing can be revealed. Systematizing the particular knowledges or informations discovered through empirical resear ches, philosophy of nursing science, as a part of rational activities to construct its scientific theories. Owing to philosophy of nursing science, conce ptual frameworks or theories settled in various branches of nursing science can be integrated into a holistic system. Philosophy of nursing science can include argu merits on standards, values, goals and intents of nursing behavior, so that their interrelational networks can be understood. Philosophical discussions can offer nursing sci ence positive ways to more extensive development, preventing it from indulging in particular or exclusive inclination. And philosophy of nursing science in itself should also keep a liberal attitude to overcome preconceptions concerning methodology of nursing science.
The problems of growth & development due to maladjustment are gradually increasing while need or the treatment of children's diseases is decreasing. The level of developmental deficiency or delay correlates with neonatal birth weight and also with gestational age, i.e. degrees of prematurity. Therefore, developmental defects and potential risk factors are more Common in premature infants than in full term infants. The purpose of this study is to define the difference in the growth & developmental status between premature and full term infants, and to define the relation between the developmental status and the physical growth during the first 3 years' Data were collected from January 10, 1985 to April 6, 1985 at 3 hospitals including St. Mary's Hospital, and through home visiting. The subjects of this study consisted of 70 premature infants (G.A.<37wks. & B.W.<2.5kg) and 94 full term infants (G.A. ≥37 wks. & B.W.≥2.5kg). The study method used was a questionnaire, anthropometric assessment and DDST for normative data of growth & development. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and t-test. The results of the study were as follows: Hypothesis: 1 : That the prematures will differ from the full term infants in the physical growth status during the first 3 years was partially supported (P<0.02)
This study was attempted to identify the difference between body image of the patients with lower limb fracture and that of normal persons, and to examine if supportive group care could offer an apportunity for positive change in body image of the patient with lower limb fracture under the Quasi-experimental design. The subjects for this study were obtained by taking convenient sample of soldiers; the experimental group were 44 lower limb fractured patients hospitalized on the orthopedic Surgery unit in S Army General Hospital, while the control group were 44 normal enlisted men serving in the B Army regiment. Supportive group nursing care was given to the lower limb fractured patients who belong to the experimental group. Pre-and post-tests were administered to the experimental and the control group.The instruments to measure body image of the subjects were body Cathexis Scale developed by Scord and Jourard (1953) and Body Meaning Scale developed by the reseacher. The reliability coefficients by Cronhach's alpha-test were .95 in body Cathexis Scale and . 89 in Body Meaning Scale in this study. Data for this study were collected over a period 12 days from the 12th to the 24th of October, 1984 by the questionnaire. Data were analyzed by computer. Frequency, Percentage and chi-square-test were used to examine general chacteristics of the subjects. t-test was used to analyze the hypotheses. Analysis of variance was used to test difference in body image between groups classified by the general characteristics. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to identify the correlation between Body Cathexis Scale and Body Cathexis Scale and Body Meaning Scale. The results of this study were as follows: 1. No significant difference was found between the experimental and the control group on general characteristics of the subjects (p>.05). 2. Hypothesis I; "There will be a difference in body image between patiens with lower limb fracture and normal persons," was supported(Body Cathexis t=6.91, p<.001, Body Meaning t=5.66, p< . 001). 3. Hypothesis II; "The will be a difference in body image of patients with lower limb fracture between after and before, supportive group nursing care was provided," was supported (Body Cathexis t-5. 90, p <. 001, Body Meaning t=4.45, p<. 001). 4. There was no significant difference in body image between groups classified by the general characteristics (p>.05). 5. The correlation between Body Cathexis Scale and Body Meaning Scale: It was reported that Body Cathexis Scale correlated with Body Meaning Scale in total subjects of the experimental and control group (r=.744, p<. 001). That is, there was relatively high correlation between two scales. Body Cathexis Scale correlated with Body Meaning Scale in the experimental group(r=.738, p<. 001) and in the control group (r=.352, p<. 001). That is, there was more than moderate correlation between two scales. In conclusion, it was found that there was a difference in body image between patients with lower limb fracture and normal persons, and supportive group nursing care offered an opportunity for positive change in body image of the patient with lower limb fracture.
