The purpose of this study was necessary to increase certainty of nursing ethical value and recognition of organs donation in the nurses. Multiple programs are consistently need to educate nursing ethical value. The subjects were 222 nurses in a hospital. Data collection was carried out for seventeen days from 14th January 2011, using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS program. The mean score of nursing ethical value was $3.22{\pm}0.38$ points. The mean score toward organ donation in brain dead donors was $3.34{\pm}0.48$ points. Nursing ethical values almost never had a correlation(r=.160) toward organ donation in brain dead donors.

Purpose: This study is aimed to confirm nurse's attitudes and to investigate the factor analysis on organ donation in brain dead donors. Methods: This survey were collected from 198 nurses in three university hospitals and four general hospitals in B city with questionnaires developed by the author. The consent for this research was obtained from nursing managers, head nurses, and staff nurses after explaining the purpose of this research. Results: In questionnaires, 45 items about attitudes were included and positive and negative attitude were analyzed. The contents of factors are 'legal permission of brain death', 'one's will of organ donation at the brain death', 'need for educational program about brain dead during college curriculum', 'organ donation is good presents for others', 'connection with professional institutes', 'necessity of brain death', 'convenient to control of brain death' and 'the goods for organ transplantation in brain dead donors' as positive attitudes. Meanwhile, 'contrast to certain religion and dignity to life', 'negative dangers on brain dead permission', 'unbelief to the medical teams', 'burdens to ask organ donation to brain deads/families' and 'economical compensation' are factors as negative attitudes about organ donation in brain dead. The total mean point score of positive attitudes about organ donation in brain dead donors was $3.753{\pm}3.398$. The total mean point score of negative attitudes about organ donation in brain dead donors was $2.915{\pm}0.472$. Conclusion: The results of this study may be of help for the nurses who concern organ sharing and make effective interventions and educations to facilitate the decision making process for organ donation in brain dead donors or families.

This study is the quasi-experimental research of nonequivalent groups and is designed to measure and compare the awareness and knowledge of 2 groups of undergraduate nursing students - one group who received the education of biomedical ethics and brain-death organ donation and the other group who did not receive the education - regarding biomedical ethics and brain-death organ donation. We conducted this research for the 76 undergraduate nursing students of a certain university located in "C" city. Collected data were analyzed by Fischer's exact test and t-test, ANCOVA using SPSS 23.0 program. As result of the research, it was found that there was significant difference in the knowledge of brain-death organ donation between the above 2 groups (t=35.21, p=.000). In this regard, the education of biomedical ethics should be included in the curriculum of undergraduate nursing students in consideration of factors influencing the awareness of biomedical ethics.

Orthotopic liver transplantation has become the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease. Various early or delayed vascular complications, including arterial pseudoaneurysm, thrombosis, or stenosis, and venous stenosis or occlusion, may lead to graft failure. Early detection and prompt management of such complications are essential to achieve successful transplantation and prevent the need for retransplantation. This report presents differentiating points, using computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography findings and measurement of pressure gradient across the stenotic lesion, that require immediate intervention in patients with inferior vena cava stenosis after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to discover attitudes toward organ donation in brain dead donors and nursing ethical values of staff nurses. Method: The subjects were 196 nurses with direct patient care in a university hospital. Data collection was carried out for one month in September, 2008 using structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and standards deviation, ANOVA and Pearson's Correlation with SPSS program. Result: The mean score of a positive attitude toward organ donation in brain dead donors was 3.59 points, and a negative attitude score was 3.02 points. The mean score of nursing ethical value was 3.05 points. The age and the length of career had a reverse correlation with a negative attitude toward organ donation. Nursing ethical values had a positive correlation with a negative attitude toward organ donation. Conclusion: It is necessary to increase understanding and recognition of brain death organs donation in the nurses who participate in direct patient care so as to help facilitate organ donation.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the attitudes toward brain death organ donation among nurses and doctors in an operating room. Methods: A descriptive research was used. The participants included 90 nurses and 30 doctors who had experience of operating organ transplantation for brain death organ donation. Data were collected from March 12 to May 23, 2020 in the one tertiary general hospital. The outcome measures were perception and attitude of death and attitude towards brain death organ donation. Results: Attitudes toward brain death organ donation was influenced by type of occupation, intention of organ donation and attitude toward death. In addition, the explanatory power of the total variance was 52.1%. Conclusions: Based on the results, it is necessary to prepare an intervention to improve awareness of the brain death and the brain death organ donation.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 뇌사자로부터 공여받은 신장을 이식한 대상자들이 프레드니손을 생체이식 대상자들보다 더 많이 투여받는 임상상황에서 프레드리손이 근력과 일상생활활동에 영향을 주는지 규명하기 위함이다. 방법: 연구 대상은 뇌사자로터 신장을 응급으로 수여받은 32명이었으며 모두 혈액투석을 하고 있었다. 이식 수술 전날, 환자의 일반적인 정보, 근력, 일상생활활동에 대해 조사하였으며 이식수술 후 12주째 되는 날 외래에서 근력과 일상생활활동을 다시 조사하였다. 프레드니손 용량은 임상기록지를 통해 수집하였다. 연구결과: 신장이식술 후 12주의 근력은 고관절 신전근력을 제외하고는 유의하게 감소되지 않았다. 그러나 신장이식 후 12주의 일상생활활동은 수술 직전보다 유의하게 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 근력은 혈액투석을 시행한 기간에 의한 영향을 더 받았으며 일상생황활동의 저하는 3개월간 활동을 제한하는 퇴원교육의 영향이 큰 것으로 볼 수 있다. 결론: 본 연구에서 대상자의 근력과 일상생활활동은 프레드니손 투약의 영향을 받지 않았으며 오히려 혈액투석을 시행했던 기간에 따라 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 혈액투석 환자들의 근력 증진을 위한 간호중재 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose : This study investigated factors affecting the knowledge and attitude of organ procurement from brain dead patients in nurse clinicians. Methods : A survey was conducted with 160 clinical nurses from a university hospital in Seoul. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, an ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}^{\prime}s$ test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and a multiple regression analysis were used. Results : The mean score for knowledge of organ procurement from brain dead patients was $12.41{\pm}2.16$ (mean correct answers = 62.1). Factors influencing the knowledge of organ procurement among nurse clinicians were working department (${\beta}=.454$, p < .001), a recent family death (${\beta}=.187$, p = .014), experience recognizing potential brain dead patients (${\beta}=.182$, p = .033), and experience referring to potential brain dead patients (${\beta}=-.192$, p = .048). Conclusion : To ensure effective organ procurement from brain dead patients, it is necessary to continually educate nurse clinicians to improve their attitude and knowledge concerning organ donation.
