의료기술 및 생활수준의 향상과 함께 우리나라의 평균수명은 꾸준하게 늘어 2026년에는 65세 이상 인구가 전체의 20% 넘을 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 노인인구의 증가와 더불어 노인성 치매는 오늘날의 고령화 사회에서 높은 발병율(65세 이상 인구의 10%, 75세 이상 인구의 25%, 85세이상 인구의 50%에서 발생)을 보이고 있어 심각한 사회문제의 하나로 대두되고 있다. 또한 우리나라 치매노인의 증상은 가벼운 경우가 59.2%, 중등정도 27.2%, 아주 심한 경우가 13.6%이며 이중 치료를 통해 완치되는 경우는 겨우 14%에 불과하며 85% 이상이 치료불가능으로 보고되고 있다. 이와 같이 노인성 치매는 일단 발병하면 완전 치료가 거의 불가능할 뿐만 아니라 심하면 한가정의 파탄을 초래하기도 할만큼 치매간호에 소요되는 정신적, 육체적, 경제적 고통은 막대하다. 따라서 의 \ulcorner 약학계에서도 치매치료제에 대하여 다각도로 연구하고 있으나 지금까지 개발된 화학적 합성 의약품은 그 효능여부와 부작용 등의 논란이 크게 대두되고 있으며 또한 치매는 어떠한질 병보다 예방의 중요성이 인식되고 있는 만큼 이러한 부작용을 최소화 할 수 있는 예방 또는 개선차원의 식품소재개발이 중요하다고 하겠으며 이에 대한 연구자의 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본고에서는 현재 치매예방 및 치료제의 개발현황을 살펴보고 한약재를 이용한 치매예방 및 치료소재의 연구동향을 소개하고자 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify trends in intervention studies on childhood obesity in Korea. Methods: From 1996, when the first research paper on childhood obesity intervention was published, to 2015, 192 published papers were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The number of studies increased sharply between 1996 and 2007, but declined slightly from then. The majority of studies involved only children as intervention participants. Most were elementary students, and overweight and obese children. Exercise therapy was the most common type of intervention. Parental participation was found in 35 studies, while teacher's participation was found in only one study. In many studies physiological indicators were used as measurement variables, but follow-up was done in only 10 studies. Finally, only a few studies applied a conceptual framework, while a quasi-experimental research design was used for most studies. Conclusion: Examination of trends in intervention studies on childhood obesity in Korea, shows there has been a quantitative increase but not enough improvement in terms of the quality of interventions. Findings in the present study suggest that it is necessary to seek diversity in terms of study participants, interventions and evaluation method along with quality improvement in research methodology.

The study was conducted to provide basic data for the development of nursing management research and suggesting the direction of the future research and the theory of nursing management. In this study, 456 pieces of articles that had been published for the last 10 years from 1987 to 1996 were analyzed based on the nursing research methodology of Lee et al. (1991). The results were as follows: 1. The whole articles were divided into two groups. that is. degree dissertations of 69.7%(307 pieces of master's and 11 pieces of doctor's) and non-degree papers of 30.3%. 2. In the light of graduate school types. the papers of the graduate school of administration formed 41.8% of the entire articles and those of the general graduate schools formed 32.4% of them. 3. In the methodology of research design. survey research held 86.8% of the whole articles. 4. In the research subject. nurses held 68.4%. others 14.6%. patients 9.4%. 5. In the data collecting method. questionnaire held 85.1%. 6. In the statistics method. 88.1% of the entire articles used inference method. 7. In the area of nursing management. direct stage formed 26.8%. control stage 21.9%. and staffing stage 20.6% of the whole articles. 8. In the light of frequency of the key concept. job satisfaction held 10.9%. nursing task 8.5%. role 7.0%. stress 4.7%, and perception 4.0%. On the basis of the results. the following suggestions were made: 1. Qualitative studies should be done to recognize the phenomena. and experimental studies to prove the intervention for the improvement of future nursing management researches. 2. For the development of nursing management. all-inclusive studies. the group or the whole organization-centered studies rather than nurse-centered, should be required. 3. In order to be valid. data should be collected by various methods. 4. For the balanced studies of nursing management. getting out of the concentrated study of just one concept, repetitive study of various concept should become the subject of them.

This study was performed to analyse the tendency of the self-care studies, to investigate the variables related to self-care, which could be applied for the data establishing the theory of self-care. To accomplish the objectives of this study, the researchers analyzed 83 studies available that contained the area of self-care, which was published in local and foreign areas between 1981 and Feb. 1997. The findings of this study are as follows : 1) Studies published in Korea were about twice more than foreign studies. According to the statistics, the number of studies in this study tended to increase year by year. Between 1991 and 1995 were most. Analysis on the subject of those studies showed, that they were most dealt with chronic diseases an adaults. 2) The theoretical definition of self-care were most referred to Orem's self-care. For the main concept of studies, self care performance was the most. 3) The correlational study was most often used design and experimental study is tended to increase. The questionnares were the most often used data collection method. There was lots of different variable measuring technique to evaluate main concepts. 4) In the results of analysis on the propositions related to the self-care performance, a client's education, social support, self-efficacy, and level of knowledge as a causal variable were found. Also, the physiological index improved and quality of life were found to be significant effective variables.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze research trends and find whether Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) of refugees could affect structural or functional changes of brains of those under MRI, focusing on volumes, functional connectivities, and metabolites. Methods: A literature search was done using PubMed, Embase, RISS, and KMBase to identify studies that matched our research purpose. A total of eight studies were identified using Prisma flow diagram by two reviewers independently. Results: Eight studies were identified. Three studies were on North Korean defectors as subjects. The number of studies that observed structural changes, functional changes, and metabolite changes in brains was 2, 5, and 2, respectively. Although each study observed various parts of the brain, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) was observed commonly in three studies. The PTSD group showed reduction of ACC volume and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) metabolite in ACC compared to the non- PTSD group. When exposed to negative stimuli, the PTSD group showed higher neural activity than the non-PTSD group, but not vice versa. Conclusion: ACC showed significant difference in volume, neural activity, and NAA metabolite between the PTSD and the non-PTSD group, resulting in significant differences in structural changes, functional changes, metabolite changes, respectively. This study showed the need for conducting more research using various biomarkers to clarify the relationship between PTSD of refugees and their brain changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the trends in studies published in Journal of Korean Critical Care Nursing (JKCCN) from 2008 to 2013. Methods: A total of 65 studies published between 2008 to 2013 were reviewed using criteria developed by researchers. Results: Approximately 36% of studies were conducted with patients. Intensive care unit (ICU) was the most popular site as the study setting. Among 59 research papers, 42.4% were approved by institutional review board (IRB). Quantitative studies were 78.6%, while qualitative studies were 4.6%. The research designs for the quantitative studies were survey (52.3%), quasi-experimental (16.9%), and so on. There was no randomized controlled trial. The most frequently used methods to provide nursing intervention was education. In addition, "nurse" and "ICU" were most commonly used keyword. Conclusion: Considering the low rate of IRB approval, more stringent application of research ethics is necessary to improve the quality of JKCCN. In addition, more randomized controlled trials should be encouraged to support evidence-based practice in critical care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze papers published in the Journal of Korean Academy of Child Health Nursing (JKACHN) to identify the current state of child health nursing research and recommend directions for future research. Methods: Using analysis criteria developed by the researchers, 233 papers published in JKACHN between 2005 and 2009 were reviewed. Results: Both quantity and quality of these papers showed significant improvement compared to before 2005. The number of published papers, the proportion of intervention studies, and studies that involved children directly as participants had increased. However, published papers still leave much to be desired. Quantitative studies were dominant (91.4%) and many of these studies were survey designs (65.7%). Children, especially young children were still less likely to be direct participants. All experimental studies were quasi or pre-experimental studies. There were few qualitative research studies. Conclusion: Findings of this study indicate that strengthening peer review according to review guidelines will improve the quality of published papers and promote JKACHN as an international journal. Instead of proxy accounts from parents or nurses, research involving direct accounts by children is needed. Child-friendly data collection methods need to be developed and used by child health nurse researchers.
