Job Analysis of Clinical Research Coordinators Using the DACUM Process: Hyun-Sook Kang, Haeng-Mi Son, Nan-Young Lim, Kyung-Sook Cho, Sung-Bok Kwon, Yeo-Jin Yi, Young-Sook Park, Eun-Hee Lee, Joo-Hyun Kim, Hye-Ja Han, Jung-Mi Baik, Younhee Jeong; J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(7):1027-1038. Published online December 31, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.7.1027

Purpose

This study was done to analyze the job of clinical research coordinators (CRCs).

Methods

Through the "developing a curriculum (DACUM)" workshop, the definition of CRCs' role was described and CRCs' duties and tasks were identified. Finally, the developed duties and tasks were validated for importance, difficulty, and frequency.

Results

A CRC is defined as the one who coordinates and performs tasks related to clinical research/trials among investigators, participants, and sponsors according to the Good Clinical Practice at institutions conducting clinical trials. Twelve duties and 78 tasks were identified on the DACUM chart which represented the importance, difficulty, and frequency of tasks represented as A, B, and C respectively. Based on determinant coefficient (DC) of the task, the highest ranked task was confirming the eligibility of participants for research (DC=8.03) and the lowest was inventory management for clinical study materials (3.95).

Conclusion

In this study, the job of a CRC was analyzed through the DACUM process and it was found that CRCs were doing various duties and tasks. Based on these results, it is suggested that it is necessary to develop CRC education programs considering the career ladder of CRCs.

Evaluation of the Korean Formal Educational Program for Training Care Workers for Frail Elderly: Yeo-Jin Yi, Hyun-Sook Kang, Sung-Bok Kwon, Joo-Hyun Kim, Young-Sook Park, Haeng-Mi Son, Eun-Hee Lee, Nan-Young Lim, Kyung-Sook Cho, Hye-Ja Han; J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(6):872-881. Published online December 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.6.872

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was done to evaluate the formal education program provided by the Korean government for care workers for frail elderly people.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional survey in which 438 certified care workers who had completed the education program participated. Data were collected from June to October 2009, using a self-report questionnaire consisting of satisfaction with, and understanding of the education program.

Results

The participants had a mean age of 46.7 yr, 87.9% were female and 58.2% were high school graduates. For the theory part of the education, the highest score for understanding was for 'supporting household & activities of daily living' while the lowest score for understanding was for 'care for death and dying'. For the practical education, the highest score for understanding was for 'talking with the client' and the lowest score was for 'first aid & basic life support'. There was a significant difference in satisfaction and understanding of the theoretical and practical parts according to educational level.

Conclusion

Continuing education programs are needed for care workers for elders, both in the theoretical and practical areas. Also the content of programs should address the weak points of this formal education program.

Evaluation of Nurses' Competency in Nurse-Patient Communication about Medications: Conversational Analysis Approach: Haeng-Mi Son; J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(1):1-13. Published online February 28, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.1.1

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop evaluation criteria for conversations about medication and to demonstrate conversational analysis with actual dialogues on medication as examples.

Methods

This study was a secondary analysis of qualitative research using conversational analysis which showed functional phases and patterns of dialogue about medication (greeting, identifying the patient, medicating, finishing). Nurse-patient conversations were videotaped and transcribed and 75 conversations were used for analysis.

Results

Not all functional phases were showed in the conversations about medication. Therefore, conversations about medication can be considered as incomplete dialogues. The evaluation-criteria were represented in terms of the structure and content of the dialogues. Structural evaluation-criteria were the same as the functional phases, as functional stage is the standard for evaluation. The criteria of evaluation for content suggested 3 domains, content, expression, and interaction with 20 items scored on a Likert-type scale of 5-points. Finally, analysis of actual conversations about medication according to the evaluative criteria were provided.

Conclusion

The results provide the basic data to develop educational programs and strategies to improve nurses' competency in conversation about medication.

Quality of Life and Illness Intrusiveness by Type-D Personality in the Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: Haeng-Mi Son; J Korean Acad Nurs 2009;39(3):349-356. Published online June 29, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2009.39.3.349

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of the type-D personality on quality of life and illness intrusiveness.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaire from 200 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Variables were measured with the Type-D Scale-14 (DS14), Korean Health Related Quality of Life Scale (KoQoLS), and the Illness Intrusiveness Rating Scale (ILRS).

Results

Of the patients, 38% were classified as type-D personality. Among the 10 subcategories of quality of life, the highest mean score was bodily pain (5.84±2.85) and the lowest was role limitation (1.52±1.20). Among 13 item of illness intrusiveness, the highest mean score was health (3.78±1.73) and the lowest was family relationships (2.14±1.58). There were significant differences in all the subcategories of quality of life between type-D and non type-D except for subcategories of bodily pain and role limitation. However, there were no significant differences in illness intrusiveness between type-D and non type-D.

Conclusion

Type-D is an important factor in quality of life in patients with CAD, but no correlations between type-D and illness intrusiveness were found. These results can be used as basic data for developing cardiac rehabilitation programs to improve quality of life in type-D patients.

The Life of Elderly Women Living Alone: Chunmi Kim, Moon Hee Ko, Moon Jeong Kim, Joohyun Kim, Hee Ja Kim, Jin Ha Moon, Kyoung Seon Baek, Haeng-Mi Son, SangEun Oh, YoungAe Lee, Jung-Sook Choi; J Korean Acad Nurs 2008;38(5):739-747. Published online October 12, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2008.38.5.739

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose

This study aimed to uncover the fundamental nature of living alone in female elderly.

Methods

The phenomenological research approach developed by van Manen was adopted.

Results

The theme was ‘taking a firm stand alone on the edges of life’. The composition elements of living alone experienced by elderly women were as follows: 1) Corporeality: participants perceived their bodies by their health status. Unhealthy participants were suffering with diseases and dependant on other persons, while healthy participants were free from family responsibility and kept on moving. 2) Spatiality: participants felt both freedom and loneliness while they stayed home. 3) Relationality: participants felt pity and yearning for their bereaved husband and sometimes talked to his picture. According to their children’s filial piety, participants were pleased or displeased. However, they incessantly devoted themselves to their children. 4) Temporality: participants considered the rest of their life as extra-time which was proceeding to death, and tried to keep themselves busy before they died.

Conclusion

A nurse should understand the multifarious aspects of elderly women’s life, and then intervene to consolidate their strengths for self-supporting the final years of life.
