Abstract PDF: PURPOSE: To identify nursing interventions performed by Chosunjok nurses in Yanbian using NIC.
METHODS
The sample consisted of 36 nurses working in 2 hospitals. The Nursing Interventions Use Questionnaire developed by the Iowa Intervention Project team was used for data collection. The instrument was translated to Korean using the method of back-translation.
RESULTS
Twenty-eight interventions were performed at least daily. Interventions in the Physiological: Basic domain were most frequently used at least daily. The most frequently used interventions was Positioning, followed by the interventions Pressure Ulcer Prevention, Intravenous (IV) Therapy, Hypothermia Treatment and Intravenous (IV) Insertion. The least frequently used interventions was Electronic Fetal Monitoring: Antepartum. Nurses working in special medical care units performed interventions most often, while nurses working in general surgical units performed them least. Nurses working in general medical, special medical and other care units performed interventions in the Physiological domain more often than the nurses working in general surgical units.
CONCLUSION
Chosunjok nurses in Yanbian performed physiological interventions frequently. Further studies will be needed to compare interventions performed by nurses in two countries.

A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of a Self-Efficacy Promoting Program: Bo Kyoung Cha, Hae Kyung Chang, Jung Nam Sohn; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(6):934-944. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.6.934

Abstract PDF: Purpose
This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of a self-efficacy promoting program and analyze its components.
Method
The material used for this study were 18 self-efficacy promoting program studies carried out from Jan. 1980 to Oct. 2003. The studies were analyzed in different categories: 1) types of dependent variables 2) sample characteristics 3) types of experimental treatment conditions 4) types of self-efficacy source and 5) total amount of time.
Result
1) The weighted mean of a self-efficacy promoting program ranged from 1.383 to 0.015 2) for the experimental treatment condition, exercise had a much larger effect in increasing general self-efficacy and self-care than education 3) the studies using 3 sources had a much larger effect in increasing self-care than the studies using 4 sources 4) a time period longer than 900 minutes had a much larger effect in increasing specific self-efficacy, general self-efficacy and self-care than in a time period shorter than 900 minutes. 5) effect size of specific self-efficacy was significantly higher than general self-efficacy.
Conclusion
These results can be used to guide the development of a self-efficacy promoting program for nursing practice.

Influencing Factors of Climacteric Women's Depression: Hae Kyung Chang, Bo Kyoung Cha; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(7):972-980. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.7.972

Abstract PDF: Purpose
This study was conducted to define the main factors influencing depression of climacteric women.
Method
The data was analyzed using a SAS 6.12 PC+ program for descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. Two hundred seventy climacteric women between 40 and 59 years old were recruited from 6 areas in Korea from Oct. 5, 2002 to Dec. 13, 2002. The reliability of the 7 instruments were tested with Cronbach's alpha which ranged from .82 to .95.
Result
The results were as follows : The mean depression score was 14.17, which was slightly high. The depression was influenced significantly by occupation, economic status, and menopause status. There were significant correlations between all the predictive variables and the depression(r=.73 ~ -.17, p <.05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that 59% of the variance in depression was significantly accounted by stress(53%), climacteric symptoms(3%), marital adjustment (2%), and health promotion behavior(1%).
Conclusion
In reducing the climacteric women's depression, the above major influencing factors should be considered.
