Seo, Soyoung , Jang, Soong-nang
J Korean Acad Nurs 2022;52(1):105-119.   Published online February 28, 2022
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.21193
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose
This study aimed to measure willingness to use (WTU) and appropriate payable cost of visiting nurse service for the elderly and explore their impact factors.
Methods
The study included 752 participants selected from data that were completed in 2017 for the elderly aged over 60 nationwide. Logit and Tobit regression analysis were performed to confirm the influencing factors.
Results
The study found that 39.1% of the elderly in the community were WTU the visiting nurse service, and they reported that the cost per visit was 12,650 Korean Won. The factors influencing WTU were having less than moderate subjective health status (OR = 1.63, p = .011), being part of a social participating groups (OR = 1.50, p = .046), or participation in senior health promotion programs (SHPPs) (OR = 1.96, p = .003). The cost was also influenced by less than moderate subjective health status (β = 4.37, p = .021), being part of a social participating groups (β = 4.41, p = .028), or participation in SHPPs (β = 4.87, p = .023). Additionally, elderly people living alone who were used as covariates were highly WTU (OR = 2.20, p = .029).
Conclusion
This study provides evidence to predict demand for visiting nurse service and reflects consumer value in setting the service cost. This is the first study to derive cost from consumers' perspective regarding the service for the elderly. As it is the result of an open-ended survey, follow-up studies are needed to estimate more reliable and reasonable results.

Kim, Sook Young , Cho, Eunhyung , Joung, Sun ei
J Korean Acad Nurs 2021;51(2):138-149.   Published online April 30, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.20239
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose
This study aimed to explore the characteristics of dispatched nursing, a type of private nursing called Hasutsu, during the Japanese colonial period in Korea. This specialized and professional nursing was a form of a dispatched nursing service provided by nurses associations.
Methods
This study reviewed a literature on visiting nursing, a literature on dispatched nursing, focusing on data collected during the Japanese colonial period from August 1910 to August 1945. Study design was a document research study of historical records. Results: The dispatched nursing service was established by the Japanese nurses in Korea. More than 60 nurses associations operated to meet the demands in the modern Korean nursing period. It was found that some associations tried to raise the nursing fees. Also, the practice of employing visiting nurses who did not have a license was criticized severely in the newspapers. Considering that the data was limited in this study, the existence of Korean nurses association employing Korean visiting nurses has not been specifically identified.
Conclusion
The findings reveal some aspects of dispatched nursing provided by the nurses associations in that era. The nurses associations developed their own specialized service independently by dispatching nurses to fulfill the needs of people not only with cheaper nursing fares than hospitals but with convenient nursing care services, including customized care for infectious diseases. A study of modern historical records of Korean nurses would facilitate deeper research into Korean nursing history.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.1999.29.2.383
AbstractAbstract PDF

Recently, the hospitals in Korea has positively changed one way or another. Therefore hospital managers must focus on the nurses' role in terms of consumers' perception of overall image of hospitals and the degree of satisfaction of the consumers To achieve the purposes, the questionnaire was developed and distributed to 280 people who had a direct experience with nursing services subjected hospitals in Seoul at the time of screening. among them, 229 responses were turned out to be useful and used for final analysis. The measurement instrument for hospital nursing service quality evaluation was modified from the SERVQUAL model originated from Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry(1988). For data analysis, SPSS/ PC and PC-MDS program were used. The results were as follows : 1) The perception map showed that the seven subjected hospitals were divided into three groups. It could be interpreted that the hospitals in the same group had a strong competitive relationships. Because the nursing services' scores of hospitals C and E were higher than those of other hospitals, they could be served as a benchmark for the other hospitals. 2) The marketing place of hospital nursing services was divided by four. Since service generally had a strong point in nearby service market segment, Aiming an nearby hospital nursing services market segment by the hospital nursing services department was regarded as a good repositioning strategy. 3) When consumers evaluated the quality of hospital nursing services, they were greatly affected by the hospitals' overall image or other characteristics. Therefore, for improving hospital's nursing services, hospital nursing services department requires a great deal of labor to improve hospitals' overall image or other characteristics.

Eun Young Kim
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(2):372-378.   Published online March 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.2.372
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to measure the functional status of stroke patients cared for in different long-term care settings.

Method

We assessed all stroke patients in two home health care agencies, four nursing homes and one geriatric hospital in Korea (n=171) using the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), which comprises Activity of Daily Living (ADL), urine incontinence, bowel incontinence, a Cognitive Performance Scale (CPS),and being understood and understanding others. Data was collected by face-to-face surveys with patients.

Results

The mean ADL score, urine incontinence score, bowel incontinence score, CPS, and being understood score and understanding others score were lowest for the patients receiving home health care, and highest for the patients in nursing homes. Low scores described poor and high scores good functional status. The results showed significant differences in physical and cognitive function scores between the three groups of patients.

Conclusion

This study suggests that there may be large differences between the patients in these three types of long-term care settings. These findings can be used to help develop and implement efficient long-term care programs.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.1.111
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was conducted to identify health problems and support received from the health and welfare service using MDS-HC(Minimun Data Set for Home Care) in the aged living at home.

Method

Eighty-one elderly persons were selected from those listed in community-welfare service centers in Seoul and Kyunggi Province between December 2002 and January 2003.

Result

Eleven health problems per elderly person on average were identified, and the frequent care needs were in order: preventive health measure, health promotion, visual function, depression & anxiety, communication disorders, social function, pain, environmental assessment, oral health, cognition and falls. The number of health problems by the level of ADL was ‘ ADL 1(Independence)’ 9.87, ‘ ADL 2(Partial independence)’ 12.78, ‘ ADL 3(Dependence)’ 13.73. Utilization of formal health & welfare services among the elderly was ‘ meals on wheels’ 40.7%, ‘ home helper’ 38.2%, ‘ visiting of social welfare worker’ 21.0%, ‘ physical therapy’ 19.6%, ‘ day care center’ 12.3%, ‘ volunteer's service’ 9.9%, ‘ home visiting care’ 3.7%, ‘ occupational therapy’ 3.7%, and ‘ speech therapy’ 2.5%.

Conclusion

The results suggest that using the MDS-HC 2.0 is applicable to help decide criteria for both health and welfare service supplied to the elderly.

Minji Kim, Mona Choi, Yoosik Youm
J Korean Acad Nurs 2017;47(6):806-816.   Published online January 15, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2017.47.6.806
AbstractAbstract PDF
Abstract Purpose

As comprehensive nursing care service has gradually expanded, it has become necessary to explore the various opinions about it. The purpose of this study is to explore the large amount of text data regarding comprehensive nursing care service extracted from online news and social media by applying a semantic network analysis.

Methods

The web pages of the Korean Nurses Association (KNA) News, major daily newspapers, and Twitter were crawled by searching the keyword ‘comprehensive nursing care service’ using Python. A morphological analysis was performed using KoNLPy. Nodes on a ‘comprehensive nursing care service’ cluster were selected, and frequency, edge weight, and degree centrality were calculated and visualized with Gephi for the semantic network.

Results

A total of 536 news pages and 464 tweets were analyzed. In the KNA News and major daily newspapers, ‘nursing workforce’ and ‘nursing service’ were highly rated in frequency, edge weight, and degree centrality. On Twitter, the most frequent nodes were ‘National Health Insurance Service’ and ‘comprehensive nursing care service hospital.’ The nodes with the highest edge weight were ‘national health insurance,’ ‘wards without caregiver presence,’ and ‘caregiving costs.’ ‘National Health Insurance Service’ was highest in degree centrality.

Conclusion

This study provides an example of how to use atypical big data for a nursing issue through semantic network analysis to explore diverse perspectives surrounding the nursing community through various media sources. Applying semantic network analysis to online big data to gather information regarding various nursing issues would help to explore opinions for formulating and implementing nursing policies.

Dasom Kim, Insook Lee
J Korean Acad Nurs 2017;47(5):577-588.   Published online January 15, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2017.47.5.577
AbstractAbstract PDF
Abstract Purpose

This study was intended to integrate the evidence of home care service intervention for mothers and children in vulnerable groups through an integrative literature review.

Methods

We searched the MEDLINE (PubMED), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, DBpia databases. The quality of the articles was assessed by one doctoral researcher and verified by one professor of community health nursing who had participated in the systematic review of literature. A framework was developed to identify the intervention patterns in the selected papers and categorize various elements. The extracted intervention elements were grouped into potential themes, which were verified by assessors on whether they clearly reflected the interventions in the papers.

Results

Among 878 searched papers, we selected 16 papers after excluding literature that does not satisfy the selection criteria and quality evaluation. The intervention elements of 16 selected papers were categorized into six themes. The extracted intervention elements were divided into the themes of Patient-specific/Situation-specific care planning and intervention, Emphasis on self care competency, Intense home visit by developmental milestone, Reinforcing and modeling mother-child attachment, Communication and interaction across the intervention, Linkage with community resource and multidisciplinary approach.

Conclusion

As a result of the analysis of proper interventions of home care services for mothers and children in vulnerable groups, it was found that it is necessary to consider indispensable intervention elements that can standardize the quality of home care services, and conduct studies on developing intervention programs based on the elements.

Jiyeon Kim, Hongsoo Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2016;46(6):836-847.   Published online December 30, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.6.836
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between utilization of home care services under the national long-term care insurance system and family caregiver distress.

Methods

A secondary data analysis was conducted in this study using data collected in 2011 and 2012 from the Korean version of International Resident Assessment Instrument (interRAI) Home Care assessment system. The study sample included 228 clients receiving community based home care and their family caregivers in Korea. Descriptive statistics, χ2 test, t-test, and Heckman selection model analysis were conducted using SAS 9.3.

Results

Presence of family caregiver distress was significantly associated with days of nurse visits (β=-.89, p=<.001) and home helper visits (β=-.53, p=.014). Level of caregiver distress was also significantly associated with days of nurse visits (β=-.66, p=.028). Other factors which were significantly associated with caregiver distress were depression, cognitive function, inadequate pain control, social support for older adult, and caregiver relationship to the older adult.

Conclusion

The results of this study show that visiting nurse service and appropriate support programs for Older Adults and family caregivers experiencing caregiver distress should be developed and provided to families based on the health care needs of older adults and their family caregivers for effective and sustainable home care.

Hye Mi Ahn, Hyeongsu Kim, Kun Sei Lee, Jung Hyun Lee, Hyo Seon Jeong, Soung Hoon Chang, Kyeong Ryong Lee, Sung Hea Kim, Eun Young Shin
J Korean Acad Nurs 2016;46(6):804-812.   Published online December 30, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.6.804
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This research was done to identify the hospital arrival rate and factors related to prehospital delay in arriving at an emergency medical center within the golden time after symptom onset in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

Data used in the research was from the National Emergency Department Information System of the National Emergency Medical Center which reported that in 2014, 9,611 patients went to emergency medical centers for acute myocardial infarction. Prehospital time is the time from onset to arrival at an emergency medical center and is analyzed by subdividing arrival and delay based on golden time of 2 hour.

Results

After onset of acute myocardial infarction, arrival rate to emergency medical centers within the golden time was 44.0%(4,233), and factors related to prehospital delay were gender, age, region of residence, symptoms, path to hospital visit, and method of transportation.

Conclusion

Results of this study show that in 2014 more than half of AMI patients arrive at emergency medical centers after the golden time for proper treatment of AMI. In order to reduce prehospital delay, new policy that reflects factors influencing prehospital delay should be developed. Especially, public campaigns and education to provide information on AMI initial symptoms and to enhance utilizing EMS to get to the emergency medical center driectly should be implemented for patients and/or caregivers.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.4.562
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

In this study the costs and benefits of a home health care program were examined to evaluate the economic feasibility of the program.

Methods

The study participants included 349 patients in the community who had been registered at a home health care center for 5 years. The costs and benefits of the program were analyzed using performance data and health data. The benefits were classified as the effects of pressure ulcer care, skin wound care and catheters management. The program effect was evaluated on the change of progress using transition probability. Benefits were divided into direct benefit such as the savings in medical costs and transportation costs, and indirect benefits which included saving in productivity loss and lost future income.

Results

Participants had an average of 1.82 health problems. The input cost was KRW 36.8~153.3 million, the benefit was KRW 95.4~279.7 million. Direct benefits accounted for 53.4%~81.2%, and was higher than indirect benefits. The net benefit was greater than 0 from 2006 to 2009, and then dropped below 0 in 2010.

Conclusion

The average net benefit during 5 years was over 0 and the benefit cost ratoi was over 1.00, indicating that the home health care program si economical.

Mi-Aie Lee, Eunjeong Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2016;46(3):364-374.   Published online June 30, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.3.364
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was performed to investigate the relationship among reciprocity, emotional labor, nursing service quality and intent to leave, and to identify factors influencing nursing service quality and intent to leave.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional survey. Participants were 300 nurses working at five general hospitals in two provincial cities in Gyeongsang Province, Korea. From May 1 to June 30, 2014, data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS/PC ver 20.0 programs.

Results

There were relationships between reciprocity and nursing service quality, and intent to leave, and between emotional labor and intent to leave. Participants' general characteristics, reciprocity and emotional labor explained 48.4% of variance in nursing service quality and participants' general characteristics and these two independent variables explained 31.9% of intent to leave.

Conclusion

These findings indicate that from the perception of hospital nurses, reciprocity and emotional labor are both very important factors to improve the quality of nursing service and decrease the intent to leave. So nursing managers should try to develop various personnel management programs focused on human emotions, and create a mutual respectable organizational culture and work environment.

Eui Geum Oh, Hyun Joo Lee, Yukyung Kim, Ji Hyun Sung, Young-Su Park, Jae Yong Yoo, Soohee Woo
J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(5):742-751.   Published online October 30, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.5.742
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of home care nursing services provided by community health nurses and to identify barriers to the services.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted with three types of community health care nurses. Participants were 257 nurses, 46 of whom were hospital based home care nurses, 176 were community based visiting nurses, and 35 were long term care insurance based visiting nurses. A structured questionnaire on 7 domains of home care nursing services with a 4-point Likert scale was used to measure activities and barriers to care. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0 program.

Results

Hospital based home care nurses showed a high level of service performance activity in the domain of clinical laboratory tests, medications and injections, therapeutic nursing, and education. Community based visiting nurses had a high level of service performance in the reference domain. Long term care insurance based visiting nurses showed a high level of performance in the service domains of fundamental nursing and counseling.

Conclusion

The results show that although health care service provided by the three types of community health nurse overlapped, the focus of the service is differentiated. Therefore, these results suggest that existing home care services will need to be utilized efficiently in the development of a new nursing care service for patients living in the community after hospital discharge.

Development and Application of a Performance Prediction Model for Home Care Nursing Based on a Balanced Scorecard using the Bayesian Belief Network
Wonjung Noh, GyeongAe Seomun
J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(3):429-438.   Published online June 30, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.3.429
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was conducted to develop key performance indicators (KPIs) for home care nursing (HCN) based on a balanced scorecard, and to construct a performance prediction model of strategic objectives using the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN).

Methods

This methodological study included four steps: establishment of KPIs, performance prediction modeling, development of a performance prediction model using BBN, and simulation of a suggested nursing management strategy. An HCN expert group and a staff group participated. The content validity index was analyzed using STATA 13.0, and BBN was analyzed using HUGIN 8.0.

Results

We generated a list of KPIs composed of 4 perspectives, 10 strategic objectives, and 31 KPIs. In the validity test of the performance prediction model, the factor with the greatest variance for increasing profit was maximum cost reduction of HCN services. The factor with the smallest variance for increasing profit was a minimum image improvement for HCN. During sensitivity analysis, the probability of the expert group did not affect the sensitivity. Furthermore, simulation of a 10% image improvement predicted the most effective way to increase profit.

Conclusion

KPIs of HCN can estimate financial and non-financial performance. The performance prediction model for HCN will be useful to improve performance.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2014.44.1.86
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was conducted to examine and compare satisfaction with Korean health care services for Americans, Chinese and Russians who resided in Korea.

Methods

A questionnaire was distributed to 252 participants (81 Americans, 89 Chinese, 82 Russians). Three focus group interviews were subsequently conducted in order to obtain a greater understanding of participants' experience and perspectives.

Results

The average satisfaction score was 3.09, with Americans and Russians showing significantly higher scores than Chinese. Overall, participants reported higher satisfaction in 'Facility', 'Quality of care' and 'Nursing services' as opposed to 'Information/education'. 'Care with cultural respect' as well as communication related services. Data from the focus group interviews were categorized into 12 sub-categories, 7 categories and 2 themes. The two themes were common experience and contrasting experience. Common experience included 4 categories, 'Quality of care', 'Hospital facility and health care system', 'Language barrier' and 'Information and education'. Contrasting experience included 3 categories, 'Medical cost', 'Health care personnel' and 'Accessibility'.

Conclusion

Results of this study provide basic knowledge on foreign residents' satisfaction and experience with Korean health care services. Further research is needed with foreigners from different cultural backgrounds. Administrative and educational efforts are required to improve communication skills and cultural competency.

Effectiveness of Home Health Care Service for Elders after Spinal Surgery
Myunghee Jun, Ji Young Jung
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(7):1009-1018.   Published online December 31, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.7.1009
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was done to evaluate effectiveness of home healthcare services (HHCS) specialized for elders who received spinal surgeries.

Methods

A non-equivalent control group pre-post test quasi-experimental study was performed. HHCS was developed based on the Rice model of dynamic self-determination for self-care. For data collection, a control group (n=23) and an experimental group (n=23) were selected by matching age, BMI, pain, general characteristics and type of spine surgery. Measurement tools to evaluate uncertainty and knowledge were developed by the authors. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ) were used to evaluate pain levels. Muscular strength in the legs was measured using a digital muscle tester and tape ruler. Questionnaires were used to evaluate disability in performing ADL and psychological distress levels.

Results

The experimental group showed significant decrease in uncertainty (p=.028), increased knowledge (p=.038), and partially decreased pain (p=.003-.331). Partial muscle strength increased significantly (p=.021-.644). Disability in performing ADL and psychological distress in the experimental group decreased significantly compared to control group (p=.002, p=.004).

Conclusion

Results indicate HHCS is an efficient home care nursing program for these elders. Further experimental studies with larger samples are required to confirm effects of HHCS.

Kyung Mi Sung
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(7):984-991.   Published online December 12, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.7.984
AbstractAbstract PDF
Abstract Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a school-based intervention program for middle school adolescent girls with depression.

Methods

The study was a pretest–posttest repeated-measure design with a nonequivalent control group. Fifty eight students with depressive symptoms were recruited from two middle schools in Seoul, Korea. The data were collected from the intervention (n= 30) and the comparison group (n= 28). The research instrument was Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale.

Results

The intervention group greatly improved from baseline to 10 weeks and then saw a slight positive change between 10 and 13 weeks.

Conclusion

The results of this research show that depression intervention programs are effective for young female adolescents. Thus the investigation has important school-based treatment implications, and should be integrated into school curriculums by school health nurses for early intervention of depressive symptoms in middle school adolescent girls.

Multilevel Analysis of Health Care Service Utilization among Medical Aid Beneficiaries in Korea
Yang Heui Ahn, Ok Kyung Ham, Soo Hyun Kim, Chang Gi Park
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(7):928-935.   Published online December 12, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.7.928
AbstractAbstract PDF
Abstract Purpose

The current study was done to identify individual- and group-level factors associated with health care service utilization among Korean medical aid beneficiaries by applying multilevel modeling.

Methods

Secondary data analysis was performed using data on health care service reimbursement and medical aid case management progress from 15,948 beneficiaries, and data from 229 regions were included in the analysis.

Results

Results of multilevel analysis showed an estimated intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 18.1%, indicating that the group level accounted for 18.1% of the total variance in health care service utilization, and that beneficiaries within the region are more likely to share common features with regard to health care service utilization. At the individual level, existence of disability and types of medical aid beneficiaries showed a significant association, while, at the group level, social deprivation index, and the number of beneficiaries and case managers within the region showed a significant association with health care service utilization.

Conclusion

The significant influence of group level variables in health care service utilization found in this study indicate a need for group level approaches, such as policy change and/ or promotion of community awareness.

Comparison of Benefit Estimation Models in Cost-Benefit Analysis: A Case of Chronic Hypertension Management Programs
Ji Young Lim, Mi Ja Kim, Chang Gi Park, Jung Yun Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(6):750-757.   Published online December 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.6.750
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

Cost-benefit analysis is one of the most commonly used economic evaluation methods, which helps to inform the economic value of a program to decision makers. However, the selection of a correct benefit estimation method remains critical for accurate cost-benefit analysis. This paper compared benefit estimations among three different benefit estimation models.

Methods

Data from community-based chronic hypertension management programs in a city in South Korea were used. Three different benefit estimation methods were compared. The first was a standard deterministic estimation model; second, a repeated-measures deterministic estimation model; and third, a transitional probability estimation model.

Results

The estimated net benefit of the three different methods were $1,273.01, $-3,749.42, and $-5,122.55 respectively.

Conclusion

The transitional probability estimation model showed the most correct and realistic benefit estimation, as it traced possible paths of changing status between time points and it accounted for both positive and negative benefits.

Og Son Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(3):403-410.   Published online June 13, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.3.403
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was to identify the current status of vaccination against the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus among university students from the fields of nursing and allied health from a local community and verify factors influencing vaccination.

Methods

The study included 227 students in the fields of nursing and allied health from a provincial university. Data were obtained from these participants between May 31 and June 11, 2010 by using self-report questionnaires.

Results

The rate of vaccination against the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus for these participants was 14.5%. No difference was observed in this regard between majors and school year. Factors that influence vaccination against this virus included previous vaccination against seasonal influenza and participants' attitudes toward general vaccination.

Conclusion

The results suggest that for effective pandemic (H1N1) 2009 vaccination of university students from the fields of nursing and allied health, students who have not been vaccinated should be intensively managed. Developing a vaccination program that encourages a positive attitude toward vaccination is recommended.

Eun Jeong Hwang
J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(3):393-402.   Published online June 13, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.3.393
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was done to assess the educational needs that should be considered in developing curriculum for staff in charge of public health services in public hospitals.

Methods

The participants in this study were staff in charge of public health services in 130 public hospitals. The Borich's Needs Assessment Model which analyzed the relation of 'required competence level' and 'present competence level', was utilized. Data were collected from October to November 2007 using a structure self-report questionnaire. The return rate was 66.9%. The Cronbach's alpha score was 0.959.

Results

The mean scores for 'required competence level', 'present competence level' and Borich's need were 4.02, 3.44, and 2.30 respectively. According to public health service items, 'strategies to recognize the present condition and analyze problems' had the highest score for Borich's need, but 'establishment of annual or monthly objectives' had the lowest score for Borich's need.

Conclusion

Education was found to be very important for staff carrying out public health services. Ultimately the results of this study may be utilized to develop education program for staff carrying out public health services in public hospitals.

Hyang-Sook Kim, Mee Ock Gu
J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(1):80-91.   Published online February 28, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.1.80
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was conducted to test the effects of a community health promotion project for farmers cultivating garlic. Bandura's self-efficacy theory (1986) and Chaskin's community capacity framework (2001) were used as the theoretical framework.

Methods

A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Study participants were 72 garlic farmers (intervention: 36, control: 36). The community health promotion project consisted of health promotion program and community capacity building strategies and was provided for 12 weeks (8 during farming off-season and 4 during farming season). Data were collected between February 23 and May 31, 2009 and were analyzed using chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA using SPSS/WIN 12.0.

Results

For the experimental group, significant improvement was found for self-efficacy, farming related health behavior, physical fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, upper body flexibility, lower body flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, balance, agility), farmer's syndrome, and health related quality of life as compared to the control group.

Conclusion

The findings of the study indicate that the community health promotion project for garlic farmers is effective and can be recommended as a nursing intervention for health promotion of garlic cultivating farmers.

Comparison in Weight, Height, Degree of Obesity and Body Mass Index Among Different Methods for Body Shape Classification in School-Age Children
Young-mee Ahn, Min Sohn, Sun-Ha Choi
J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(6):775-784.   Published online December 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.6.775
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The study was conducted to describe body shapes of school age children using the degree of obesity index (DOI) and body mass index obesity index classified by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (M-BOI) and Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (S-BOI).

Methods

In this cross sectional descriptive study health screening data for school children collected in 2007 was used.

Results

Data were analyzed for 2,193 4th-6th grade boys (52%) and girls who attended 4 schools in rural areas. DOI determined that only 44.3% of students had average weight. This proportion was much lower than the results of other methods (74.3-77.6%). All three methods defined girls (51.3-61.8%) as skinnier than boys. Skinny and average body shaped children classified by DOI and obese children classified by S-BOI were heavier and taller and presented higher degrees of obesity (DO) and BMI scores than by other methods. M-BOI and S-BOI presented statistically significant positive correlations with weight, height, DO and BMI, while DOI was not correlated with height.

Conclusion

BMI based body shape classifications provide a more rigorous classification of body shape which are favorable for school health professionals with limited resources and policy makers for internationally comparable references.

Eun-Kyung Kim, Yun Mi Kim, Myung Ae Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(3):349-358.   Published online June 30, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.3.349
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to estimate nursing costs and to establish appropriate nursing fees for long-term care services for community elders.

Methods

Seven nurses participated in data collection related to visiting time by nurses for 1,100 elders. Data on material costs and management costs were collected from 5 visiting nursing agencies. The nursing costs were classified into 3 groups based on the nurse's visit time under the current reimbursement system of long-term care insurance.

Results

The average nursing cost per minute was 246 won. The material costs were 3,214 won, management costs, 10,707 won, transportation costs, 7,605 won, and capital costs, 5,635 won per visit. As a result, the average cost of nursing services per visit by classification of nursing time were 41,036 won (care time <30 min), 46,005 won (care time 30-59 min), and 57,321 won (care time over 60 min).

Conclusion

The results of the study indicate that the fees for nurse visits currently being charged for long-term care insurance should be increased. Also these results will contribute to baseline data for establishing appropriate nursing fees for long-term care services to maintain quality nursing and management in visiting nursing agencies.

J Korean Acad Nurs 2008;38(6):789-801.   Published online December 31, 2008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2008.38.6.789
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop a substantive theory of case management (CM) practice by investigating the experience of nurse case managers caring for Medical Aid enrollees in Korea.

Methods

A total of 12 nurses were interviewed regarding their own experience in CM practice. Data were recorded and analyzed using grounded theory.

Results

Empowerment was the core category of CM for Medical Aid enrollees. The case managers engaged in five phases as follows, phase of inquiring in advance, building a relationship with the client, giving the client critical mind, facilitating positive changes in the client's use of healthcare services, and maintaining relationship bonds. These phases moved gradually and were circular if necessary. Also, they were accelerated or slowed depending on factors including clients' characteristics, case managers' competency level, families' support level, and availability of community resources.

Conclusion

This study helps understand what CM practice is and how nurses are performing this innovative CM role. It is recommended that nurse leaders and policy makers integrate empowerment as a core category and the five critical CM phases into future CM programs.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2008;38(1):161-171.   Published online February 29, 2008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2008.38.1.161
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The aim of this study was to analysize net income of a surgical nursing ward in a general hospital.

Methods

Data collection and analysis was conducted using a performance-based costing and activity-based costing method.

Results

Direct nursing activities in the surgical ward were 68, indirect nursing activities were 10. The total cost volume of the surgical ward was calculated at ₩119,913,334.5. The cost volume of the allocated medical department was ₩91,588,200.3, and the ward consumed cost was ₩28,325,134.2. The revenue of the surgical nursing ward was ₩33,269,925.0. The expense of a surgical nursing ward was ₩28,325,134.2. Therefore, the net income of a surgical nursing ward was ₩4,944,790.8.

Conclusion

We suggest that to develop a more refined nursing cost calculation model, a standard nursing cost calculation system needs to be developed.
