Effects of Blending Oil of Lavender and Thyme on Oxidative Stress, Immunity, and Skin Condition in Atopic Dermatitis Induced Mice: Young Mi Seo, Seok Hee Jeong; J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(3):367-377. Published online June 30, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.3.367

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of essential oil on oxidative stress, immunity, and skin condition in atopic dermatitis (AD) induced mice.

Methods

This study was a 3×3 factorial design. Factors were oil type (Lavender, Thyme, and 2:1 mixture of lavender and thyme oil [blending oil]) and treatment period (0 day, 7 days, and 21 days). The samples were 45 mice with AD and randomly assigned to nine groups of five mice per group. The dependent variables such as superoxide radical, IgE, degranulated mast cells, and epidermal thickness were measured. Data were collected from February to April in 2014. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, Two-way ANOVA, and Tukey's HSD test were performed using the SPSS WIN 20.0 program.

Results

Dependent variables were not statistically significantly different by the three oil types (p>.05). Essential oils such as lavender, thyme, and blending oil were all effective in reducing AD symptoms and especially 2:1 blending oil were most effective. There were statistically significant differences by the three treatment periods in all dependent variables (p<.001). There were statistically significant interactions between oil types and treatment periods in all dependent variables (p<.01). For decreasing superoxide radical, degranulated mast cells, and epidermal thickness, 2:1 mixed oil should be applied for at least 21 days. Otherwise to reduce IgE, 2:1 mixed oil should be used for at least 7 days.

Conclusion

These findings provide bases for developing effective interventions for AD patients to manage their AD symptoms.

Adaptation and Evaluation of the Incontinence Care Protocol: Kyung Hee Park, Heejung Choi; J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(3):357-366. Published online June 30, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.3.357

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was done to develop an evidence-based incontinence care protocol through an adaptation process and to evaluate the effects of the protocol.

Methods

The protocol was developed according to the guideline of adaptation. A non-randomized controlled trial was used for testing the effects of the new Incontinence Care Protocol. A total of 120 patients having bowel incontinence with Bristol stool type 5, 6, and 7 and admitted to intensive care units were recruited to this study. The newly developed incontinence care protocol was used with patients in the experimental group and conventional skin care was given to patients in the control group. Outcome variables were incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) severity, pressure ulcer occurrence and severity.

Results

The experimental group had significantly less severe IAD (t=6.69, p<.001), lower occurrence of pressure ulcers (χ²=7.35, p=.007), and less severity of pressure ulcers (Mann-Whitney=86.00, p=.009) than the control group.

Conclusion

Use of this incontinence care protocol has the effects of preventing pressure ulcers and inhibiting worsening of IAD and pressure ulcers. Therefore, this incontinence care protocol is expected to contribute to managing IAD and pressure ulcers.

Clinical Nurses’ Knowledge and Visual Differentiation Ability in Pressure Ulcer Classification System and Incontinence-associated Dermatitis: Yun Jin Lee, Seungmi Park, Jung Yoon Kim, Chul-Gyu Kim, Sun Kyung Cha; J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(4):526-535. Published online August 12, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.4.526

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose

This study was done to compare clinical nurses’ knowledge and visual differentiation diagnostic ability for the pressure ulcer classification system (PUCS) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).

Methods

A convenience sample of 602 nurses took the pressure ulcer classification system and incontinence-associated dermatitis knowledge test (PUCS & IAD KT) and completed the visual differentiation tool (VDT), consisting of 21 photographs with clinical information.

Results

The overall mean score for correct answers was 14.5 (± 3.2) in PUCS & IAD KT and 11.15 (± 4.9) in PUCS & IAD VDT. Incorrect responses were most common for statements related to stage III, IAD for PUCS & IAD KT, and suspected deep tissue injury (SDTI), un-stageable, and stage III for PUCS & IAD VDT. Significant correlations were found between PUCS & IAD KT and VDT (r= .48, p< .001). Factors affecting scores for PUCS & IAD VDT were PUCS & IAD KT, frequency of pressure ulcer, IAD management and participation in wound care education programs.

Conclusion

Results indicate that nurses have an overall understanding of PUCS & IAD, but low visual differentiation ability regarding stage III, SDTI, and unstageable ulcers. Continuing education is needed to further improve knowledge and visual differentiation ability for PUCS & IAD.

Prevalence Rate and Factors Associated with Atopic Dermatitis among Korean Middle School Students: Ji Won Oak, Hea Shoon Lee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(7):992-1000. Published online December 12, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.7.992

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose

The purpose of this study was to verify prevalence rates of atopic dermatitis (AD) in middle school students in Korea and to define AD and associated factors.

Methods

This study was conducted using secondary analysis of raw data from the ‘The 6th Korean National Adolescent Health Behavior Survey, 2010’ conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control. The participants were 37,570 students. General characteristics and health behavior-related characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ²-test and logistic regression analysis.

Results

Results are as follows. 1. There were 8,494 middle school students (22.6%), who had been diagnosed with AD during the last 12 months. 2. Factors associated with AD in middle school students were gender (p< .001), grade level (p= .001), father’s education (p< .001), mother’s education (p= .032), regular dietary habits (breakfasts, p= .025; lunches; p= .003), stress (p< .001), recognition of subjective awareness of one’s health conditions (p< .001), hand washing before meals at school (p= .013), and cessation education for both smoking (p= .002) and alcohol (p= .031).

Conclusion

Results of the study indicate that in order to alleviate AD symptoms in these students, there is a need to develop nursing interventions and education programs taking into consideration these variables and verifying the effects of interventions and programs.
