The Comparison of the Stress and Coping Methods of Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers: Hee Seung Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):538-543. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.538

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the stress and the coping methodes in the cancer patients and their caregivers.

Method

The stress method was measured by VAS(Visual Analogue Scale). The coping methodes was measured using the modified Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The phases of patient illness consisted of 1st(initial) stage, and 2nd(recurred) stage and 3rd(terminal) stage based on Lewandowski & Jones(1988) method. The data were collected by a survey of convenience sampling of 257 cancer patients and 196 of their caregivers from two hospitals in Seoul. The data were analyzed using paired t-test, unpaired t-test.

Result

The stress level of cancer patients was lower than their caregivers. The cancer patients used emotion-focused coping mode than problem-focused coping mode. The caregivers problem-focused coping mode over emotion-focused coping mode. In the problem-focused coping mode, the caregivers significantly used two coping strategies that were ‘positve cope’, ‘information seeking’ more than patients. In emotion-focused coping mode, the caregivers significantly used one coping strategies that was ‘wish’ more than patients. The patients tended to used two coping strategies that were ‘blame’ and ‘emotion expression’ more than the caregivers.

Conclusion

Further study needs to be done to positively identify these coping methods and develop interventions to assist patients and their caregivers.

Health Status among Community Elderly in Korea: Hye Ryoung Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):544-552. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.544

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study examined the health status among elderly in community.

Method

This is a survey using cross-sectional design. The subjects were 531 elders who were 65 and over in Pusan, Korea. Data were collected by 17 trained interviewers from April 10 to August 26, 2000. Functional status for physical health status, depression, loneliness, self-esteem for psychological health status, and social support for social health status were measured.

Result

About forty three percent of the subjects were found as the elderly who need support in physical status. About fifty six percent of the subjects were depressed. The mean score on the Loneliness scale was 40.4, which means relatively higher. For self-esteem, its score was lower than that of elderly who were examined in other studies. The subjects were living in the state of lower social support. The risk factors for vulnerable health status were being female, becoming older, lower income and education, and living alone.

Conclusion

This finding indicates that the elderly subjects in Korean community were in poor health status in physical, psychological and social aspects.

Nurses' Experience of Caring for Dying Patients in Hospitals: Myungsun Yi; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):553-561. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.553

Abstract PDF

Purpose

To develop a substantive theory that represents hospital nurses' experience on caring for dying patients.

Method

Grounded theory method guided the data collection and analysis. A purposeful sample of 15 hospital nurses participated during the period of 2001-2002. The data were collected by semi-structured individual interviews. All interviews were audio taped and transcribed verbatim. Constant comparative analysis was employed to analyze the data.

Result

“Putting oneself into shape while being faithful to feelings and emotions” emerged as the basic social-psychological process. Three different phases were identified: being faithful to own feelings and behaviors; putting oneself into shape; and mourning death. The first phase includes the categories of “establishing trust relationships” and “sympathizing with dying patients and their family members.” The second phase consists of “controlling feelings,” “adjusting ethical conflicts,” and “providing best patient-care,” and “helping family accept the death.” And the third phase consists of “overcoming sadness” and “releasing other negative feelings.”

Conclusion

The result of this study will help health professionals develop efficient support programs that support nurses caring for dying patients in hospitals. Further study needs to be done to verify findings.

Trajectory of Fatigue, Quality of Life and Physical Symptoms in Cancer Patients Receiving Radiotherapy: Young Hee Yang; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):562-569. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.562

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this longitudinal prospective study was to assess changes in fatigue and quality of life for a 6-week course of radiotherapy.

Method

A descriptive and longitudinal design was used to this study. Twenty-three subjects receiving radiotherapy from a radiotherapy clinic of a general hospital completed the questionnaires. Fatigue was measured using Lee's scale(1999) and quality of life using Yang's scale(2002) weekly for 6 weeks.

Result

Fatigue significantly increased(F=6.043, p=.000), and quality of life significantly decreased(F=3.938, p=.003) and physical symptoms also significantly increased(F=2.432, p=.039) during a 6-week radiotherapy. Multiple regression analysis revealed that fatigue at the first week and physical symptoms at the 6th week were the significant affecting variables(60.1% of the variance) on fatigue. And 63.2% of the variance in quality of life was explained by quality of life and fatigue at the first week and body weight change for 6 weeks radiotherapy.

Conclusion

Based on these results, the fatigue and quality of life at the beginning time of radiotherapy have a lasting impact throughout the course of treatment. It suggests that nurses provide patients with information about the occurrence of fatigue during radiotherapy and the practical methods of intervening physical symptoms.

Effects of a Short-term Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program in Patients with Chronic Lung Disease: Eui Geum Oh, Sun Hee Kim, Hee Ok Park, So Yon Bang, Chun Hwa Lee, So Hee Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):570-579. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.570

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to exam the effects of a short-term pulmonary program on lung function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life in chronic lung patients.

Method

Randomized controlled pre-post test design was used. The outcome measures were forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1, % predicted), 6 min walking distance (6MWD), Borg score after 6MWD, and Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRDQ). Experimental group performed the 4-week home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program composed of inspiratory muscle training, upper and lower extremity exercise, relaxation, and telephone visit. Patients in control group were only given education about self-management strategies. Thirty four patients with moderate-to-severe respiratory impairment were recruited, and 28 patients (19 in experiments, 15 in control) completed the study.

Result

Significant improvements in lung function, exercise tolerance, and health related quality of life were found only in the experiment group.

Conclusion

This study yielded evidence for the potential and beneficial effects of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with moderate to severe chronic lung disease. The program could be adequately utilized for improvement of health related quality of life in chronic lung patients.

Comparison of Maternal Self-esteem, Postpartal Depression, and Family Function in Mothers of Normal and of Low Birth-weight Infants: Young Mee Ahn, Jung Hyun Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):580-590. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.580

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The study investigates the degree of maternal self-esteem, postpartal depression, and family function in mothers of normal and of low birth-weight infants.

Method

A retrospective cohort design was applied to compare the variables of interest between a group of 73 mothers with normal birth weight infants and a group of 45 mothers with low birth-weight infants, using the maternal self-report inventory(MSRV), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS) and Family APGAR(FAPGAR).

Result

The total mean score was 82.57 for MSRV, 8.45 for EPDS, and 6.83 for FAPGAR with no differences between two groups. A positive correlation was found between MSRV and FAPGAR, while a negative correlations between MSRV and EPDS, and FAPGAR and EPDS. Regardless of the direction of the relationship, the degrees of the correlations were stronger in low birth-weight mothers group than in normal group.

Conclusion

No differences in MSRV, EPDS and FAPGAR between the normal and the low birth-weight group considered as beneficial effects of the follow-up management which low birth-weight group was engaged in. This suggested the early intervention(follow-up) for the family with risk factor(low birth-weight) could reduce negative outcomes such as the impaired maternal self-esteem and family function, and the occurrence of postpartal depression, retrospectively.

Effects of Upper Extremity Exercise Training Using Biefeedback and Constraint-induced Movement on the Upper Extremity Function of Hemiplegic Patients: Keum Soon Kim, Ji Yeon Kang; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):591-600. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.591

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training using biofeedback and constraint-induced movement on the upper extremity function of hemiplegic patients.

Method

A non-equivalent pretest-posttest design was used. Study subjects were a conveniently selected group of 40 hemiplegic patients(20 experimental subjects, 20 control subjects) who have been enrolled in two community health centers. After biofeedback training the subjects of experimental group were given constraint-induced movement, involving restraint of unaffected U/E in a sling for about 6 hours in a day over a period of two weeks, while at the same time intensively training the affected U/E. Outcomes were evaluated on the basis of the U/E motor ability(hand function, grip power, pinch power, U/E ROMs), and motor activity(amount, quality).

Result

1. After 2 weeks of treatment, the motor abilities of affected U/E(hand function, grip power, pinch power, ROMs of wrist flexion, elbow flexion and shoulder flexion/extension) were significantly higher in subjects who participated in exercise training than in subjects in the control group with no decrement at 4-week follow-up. However, there was no significant difference in wrist extension between experimental or control group. 2. After 2 weeks of treatment, the amount of use and the quality of motor activity of affected U/E were significantly higher in subjects who participated in exercise training than in subjects in the control group with no decrement at 4-week follow-up.

Conclusion

The above results state that exercise training using biofeedback and constraint-induced movement could be an effective intervention for improving U/E function of chronic hemiplegic patients. Long-term studies are needed to determine the lasting effects of constraint-induced movement.

Validation of Nursing Care Sensitive Outcomes related to Knowledge: Eun Joo Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(5):625-632. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.5.625

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the importance and sensitivity to nursing interventions of four nursing sensitive nursing outcomes selected from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Outcomes for this study were “Knowledge: Diet”, “Knowledge: Disease Process”, “Knowledge: Energy Conservation”, and “Knowledge: Health Behaviors”.

Method

Data were collected from 183 nurses working in 2 university hospitals. Fehring method was used to estimate outcome and indicators' content and sensitivity validity. Multiple and stepwise regression were used to evaluate relationships between each outcome and its indicators.

Result

Results confirmed the importance and nursing sensitivity of outcomes and their indicators. Key indicators of each outcomes were found by multiple regression. “Knowledge: Diet” was suggested for adding new indicators because the variance explained by indicators was relatively low. Not all of the indicators selected for stepwise regression model were rated for highly in Fehring method. The R² statistics of the stepwise regression models were between 18 and 63% in importance by selected indicators and between 34 and 68% in contribution by selected indicators.

Conclusion

This study refined what outcomes and indicators will be useful in clinical practice. Further research will be required for the revision of outcome and indicators of NOC. However, this study refined what outcomes and indicators will be useful in clinical practice.
