Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy that integrates nursing knowledge, skills, and attitudes into clinical nursing practice. This pilot aims to apply a PBL module on preschoolers' growth and development in the nursing curriculum. This quantitative study was performed to develop a PBL module following Dick and Carye's program development process (planning, development, application, and evaluation phases), and to evaluate its effects using structured questionnaires among sophomore nursing students. These students formed teams of four or five people each and spent 40 minutes participating in the PBL module. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and content analysis. Metacognition level increased significantly. There was no significant difference in team efficacy between pre-test and post-test. Post-test learning satisfaction was high. Students reported obtaining knowledge and problem-solving ability with respect to preschoolers' growth and development and were satisfied with teamwork. This finding offers fundamental knowledge concerning the application of a PBL module in nursing curricula.

This study attempted to examine the structural characteristics of the social network of nursing units by dividing them into a job-related advice network and a friendship network, and to analyze the relationship between nurse organizational commitment and intent to leave. The subjects were 420 nurses working in 4 hospitals and 30 nursing units. Data were analyzed using UCINET 6.0, SPSS 20.0 and HLM 7.0. In job-related advice networks, degree centrality of head nurse contributed to organizational commitment. Network density contributed to intent to leave. In friendship networks, closeness centrality of head nurses and betweenness centrality of charge nurse contributed to organizational commitment. Density and betweenness centrality of charge nurses contributed to intent to leave. Accordingly, it is necessary to foster good relationships between nurses and to develop various types of strategies for building effective networks.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized education protocol for peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: First, the demand for education was investigated from the 27 patients on peritoneal dialysis and 16 guardians, and later, the standardized nursing education protocol has been developed through the comprehensive literature review and the critical analysis of the related studies. Contents validity and applicability have been tested through the expert group survey. Results: The standardized peritoneal dialysis nursing education protocol with 9 areas and 20 items has been developed. The content validity for timing and duration, contents, method, and place of education proposed by the protocol were all above than 0.8. In terms of the applicability of the protocol, the experts scored between 4.20 to 4.93 for all items except one. The item on home visit education acquired the lowest applicability score, because there might exist potential restrictions in visiting patient's home. Conclusion: The standardized education protocol developed in this study turned out to be adequate by representing high content validity for all items and the applicability also was high except the item on home visit education. Further researches to test the effects of this education protocol should be done.

오늘날은 과학문명의 발달로 인하여 기존지식의 수명이 점차 짧아져 가고있는 것이 특징이다. 지식의 증가는 단순히 지식의 양을 증가시키는 역할뿐 아니라 많은 기존지식을 불충분하고 쓸모 없는 것으로 바꿔버리게 한다. 그러므로 학교에서는 학생들에게 어떤 특정지식의 축척보다는 그 학문에 내재해 있는 기본적인 지식의 구조를 학습하게 하여 여러 가지 개념을 관련시키는 논리적 방법을 학습하게 하고 합리적인 탐구방법을 구사할 수 있도록 하여 변화하는 미지의 세계에 대처해 나갈 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 간호학의 기본 지식구조를 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 하게 된 동기는 간호업무의 근거로 활용도리 지식체계는 교육과정의 조직원리로 작용될 유형이나 구조를 지니고 있으며 이런 유형이나 구조를 중심으로 간호교육과정을 구성하는 것이 간호교육에 필수적이라는 문제에서 비롯되었다. 연구방법은 1982년 9월부터 1983년 5월에 걸쳐 간호학 문헌을 체계적으로 분석하여 간호학의 개념적 지식구조와 구문적 지식구조를 확인하였다. 그 결과 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 간호학의 개념적 구조： 모든 학문에는 탐구의 대상인 특수현상을 설명하고 서술하는데 활용되는 일련의 실질적, 개념적 구조를 가지고 있다. 그러나 그 학문의 중요한 부분 또는 중심을 포함하고 있는 개념들이 그 분야 또는 학문의 개략이라고 할 수 있는데 연구결과 간호학에서 가장 높은 순위의 대표적 특질을 지닌 개념은 인간, 건강, 환자/대상자, 간호, 행동으로 분석되었다. 2. 간호학의 구문적 지식구조 : 지식구조의 두 번째 요소인 학문의 구문(syntax)은 간호학에서의 특징적인 탐구방법과 관련되나 개념적 구조와 마찬가지로 탐구방법은 학문에 따라 다르며 그 분야의 주요양상을 나타낸다. 연구결과 간호학에서의 특징적인 탐구방법은 공동적으로 간호과정(nursing process)임이 나타났으며 그 요인으로는 사정, 진단, 계획, 수행, 평가의 다섯 단계로 분석되었다.

Purpose: This study was designed to examine the validity of the evidence-based guideline on pain developed by Registered Nurses Association of Ontario(RNAO) translated into Korean based on the experts' opinions. Methods: The panel consisted of experts of 60 registered nurses in surgical units, medical doctors and nursing managers who were experts in pain assessment and management. The validity of translated RNAO guideline was evaluated in terms of appropriateness, applicability, and utilization in current practice. Appropriateness and applicability of each recommendation were measured with 9 point scale, whereas utilization was measured by yes/no question. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and percent. The experts' opinions were analyzed by content analysis method. Results: In general, most of the recommendations in the guideline received above 7 point in appropriateness and applicability. However, above 20% of recommendations showed less than 50% of utilization rates in current practice. Conclusion: The reasons for low utilization of recommendations in current practice are in need for investigation. This study can be used for the development of guideline more acceptable in Korean health care settings and improve the quality of care for the abdominal surgery patients suffering from pain in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the evidence based guideline for prompted voiding by Lyons & Specht (2001) in National Guideline $Clearinghouse^{TM}$ for use in Korea based on the experts' opinions. Method: The target expert group consisted of 8 registered nurses, 6 physicians, and 5 nursing professors who are experts in urinary incontinence. This study used a questionnaire survey. The appropriateness, applicability, and the present application of each recommendation in the guideline were analyzed with descriptive statistics using the SPSS program, with content analysis based on the experts' opinions. Result: The scores on each recommendation's appropriateness showed the high degree of agreement among nurses, physicians, and nursing professors. However, the recommendation for 'use of oxybutinin' showed the lowest score as 5.89. It was notable that the most recommendations scored lower for applicability compared with appropriateness. The reasons for lower scores for applicability were the lack of clinicians' knowledge of assessment and management, and the lack of resources in clinical settings in Korea. Conclusion: This study will augment the understanding of the actual urinary incontinence management in Korean clinical settings and can be used as the baseline data for further study of tailoring international guidelines into local and national clinical settings.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' access and use of information resources and to identify the barriers and competency to evidence based practice (EBP). This study used descriptive method to identify baseline data for the purpose of developing strategies for establishing EBP in clinical nursing practice. Methods: Participants in this study were 278 nurses from five hospitals in Daegu and Kyungsangbukdo. The data were collected by self administered questionnaires and SPSS/WIN 15.0 program was used to analyze the data with descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and ANOVA. Results: Nurses reported $^*most$ frequently using paper and human resources. The mean score of barriers was $3.02{\pm}0.41$, and competency was $2.70{\pm}0.50$. The reported competency was correlated with nurse factors (r=-.31, p<.001) organization factors (r=-.20, p<.001) and research factors (r=-.12, p<.040) as the barriers to evidence based practice. Conclusion: To promote competency in EBP and to decrease the barriers, it would be necessary to develop the organizational culture that encourages nurses to be involved in research activities. In addition, the development of systemic methods to introduce and establish an education program for facilitating EBP in the clinical settings is needed.

Purpose: This study was to explore the gap between awareness and performance toward evidence-based pain management in older adults for the purpose of establishing baseline data for evidence-based pain management protocol development and dissemination. Methods: The subjects were 290 staff nurses from three general hospitals. Self administered questionnaires were used to collect the data and the results of the study were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. Results: There were statistically significant differences between awareness and performance in pain assessment (t=17.31, $p$ <.001), patient and family education (t=17.33, $p$ <.001), pharmacologic management (t=12.99, $p$ <.001), non pharmacological management (t=16.28, p<.001), and evaluation of effectiveness (t=11.70, $p$ <.001). There were also statistically significant differences in awareness and performance according to the workplace, knowledge, and usual performance. Conclusion: The study showed that the hospital nurses' performance about evidence-based pain management in older adults was lower than their awareness level thus indicating significant gaps between evidence and actual practice. To ensure effective pain care, the factors contributing to these gaps need to be analyzed to identify the barriers. In addition, the evidence-based pain management guideline suitable for various clinical settings needs to be developed and disseminated.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to offer the baseline data for developing a systematic and high quality of clinical practice guideline by exploring how nurses utilize clinical guidelines and what they need for. Method: This study has been done with 242 nurses of a university hospital in Daegu using a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument used in this study was developed by researchers based on the results of the previous studies. Data analysis was done with SPSS 11.0 Program. Results: Nurses felt that clinical guidelines were not sufficiently disseminated to update their clinical knowledge education. Nurses showed the strong demand for developing clinical practice guidelines with the newest and systematic evidence. However, a relatively low number of nurses knew evidence-based nursing and evidence-based clinical guidelines. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop an educational program for evidence-based nursing and an evidence-based nursing clinical practice guideline for nurses and to explore the strategies for development and dissemination of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to solve the urgent and frequent clinical problems.
