This study examined effects of good death awareness and knowledge of advance directives on attitude toward advance directives in middle-aged adults. The participants were 152 middle-aged adults in G province and C province. Data were collected from October 4 to November 15, 2019 through self reported structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression. Good death awareness correlated positively with knowledge of advance directives and attitude toward advance directives. Knowledge of advance directives was positively correlated with attitude toward advance directives. Participants' economic status, knowledge of advance directives and good death awareness explained 28.3% of variance in attitude toward advance directives among middle-aged adults. The findings indicate that middle-aged adults' economic status, knowledge of advance directives and good death awareness are important factors to be considered for the formation of desirable attitude toward advance directives.

선박의 자율운항을 위해서는 선박 충돌회피에 대한 사전 연구가 필요하다. 항해사들의 상황인식과 의사결정에 기여하기 위해 주변 상황 환경을 인식하고 의사결정을 하기까지 걸리는 시간을 지연(latency)이라고 한다. 따라서 연구 목적은 선박 충돌 상황에서 항해사의 의사결정 지연시간을 측정하는 것이다. 연구방법은 항해사를 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 통한 테스트 결과를 분석하였다. 연구결과 항해사가 선박충돌상황시 상황인식과 의사결정간의 상관관계를 도출할 수 있었다.

전통적 의사결정 이론에 입각한 기존의 다기준 의사결정 모형은 명확하게 정의된 문제에 대해서 실함수로 표현된 사전의 선호정보에 의하여 모호함이 없이 확실한 선호의 판별을 산출하는 true-criterion 모형이다. 그러나 현실적인 의사결정 환경하에서 선호정보가 사전에 명확하게 하나의 실함수로 얻어지기는 매우 어렵다. 이는 곧 선호의 불확실성(fuzziness)이나 선호판별을 할 수 없는 비교불가능성(incomparability)등이 있을 수 있음을 의미한다. 1980년대 이후의 다기준의사결정 이론에 대한 연구는 불명확한 문제의 정형화나 선호의 불확실성을 인정하고, 이를 fuzzy 이론을 이용하여 모형의 설정에 반영하고 있다. 심지어는 선호관계의 비추이성(intransitivity)이나 비교불가능성까지도 인정하는 등 모형의 강건성(robustness)을 고려하는 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다.

Purpose: This methodological study was conducted to test the reliability and validity of an instrument that measures attitudes of advance directives (ADs) among nurses. Methods: 1) Sixteen items related to attitudes in the English version of the Knowledge, Attitudinal, and Experiential Survey on Advance Directives (KAESAD) were forward/backward translated into Korean. 2) The content was validated by an expert panel (three nursing professors and eight hospice nursing specialists). 3) The preliminary 12 items were selected as a tool to assess the Korean version of Nurses' Attitudes towards Advance Directives (NAAD-K). 4) The instrument was validated by a survey (n=216). 5) It was confirmed to use the 12 items for the final version of the instrument. Results: NAAD-K was shown to be valid in terms of factors, items and content. The three factors extracted from the factor analysis were named as follows: Caring for patients with an AD (factor 1), nurses' role in informing patients (factor 2) and patient right (factor 3). The three factors explained total variance 57.796%. Factor loadings of the 12 items ranged from 0.47 to 0.93. For the 12 items, Cronbach's alpha was 0.81, and Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.78. Conclusion: This instrument was identified to be applicable with satisfactory reliability and validity for further use in measuring nurses' attitudes towards ADs in hospice and palliative care.

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the extent to which end-of-life care stress, death awareness, and prior decision-making attitudes of nurses at a hospice and palliative nursing institution have an impact on end-of-life care performance. The subjects of this study were 200 nurses working at a hospice and palliative nursing institution. Data collection for this study was conducted from August 9 to September 30, 2021, using two methods: written questionnaire and internet survey. The data analysis method used Pearson's correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship between the subjects' end-of-life care stress, death awareness, prior decision-making attitude, and end-of-life care performance. Hierarchical Regression was used to identify factors affecting the subject's end-of-life care performance. The results of this study showed a significant correlation between end-of-life care performance and death awareness (r=.22, p=.002), and end-of-life care performance and prior decision-making attitude (r=.20, p=.004). And prior decision-making attitude and death awareness had a significant impact on end-of-life care performance. As death awareness and prior decision-making attitudes increased, end-of-life care performance increased, and end-of-life care stress did not appear to be a statistically significant factor influencing end-of-life care performance. In order to improve hospice nurses' ability to provide end-of-life care, intervention that takes into account the influencing factors is required.

Preventive maintenance of buildings has increased the importance of interest in that it is able to maintain the performance building has and to prevent a problem occurred in future. For improved preventive maintenance work, it should be performed to select works order clearly and preceded the accurate measurement for the state of works order. when measuring the conditions, measurement of the state of work order considering the various criteria is more effective than to measure by only criterion. But, there are something hard to evaluate exactly between the criteria because of decision-maker's subjective judgments. To solve these problems, this research proposes decision making support model to determine preventive maintenance works order using Fuzzy-sets. By using Fuzzy-sets when measuring state of work objects, it can be reduced vagueness of judgments by decision-makers. This model can be used as a tool for objective evaluation of preventive maintenance work orders and offer the guideline to perform decision-making.

This study was conducted to confirm the relationship between the proactive accounts receivable management of SMEs on credit sales decision making and business performance, and to derive effective accounts receivable management plan and systematic credit sales decision making plan. Based on 455 copies of data collected through a survey targeting SMEs, it was confirmed through factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and model fit verification, and the research hypothesis was verified with a structural equation model. As a result of the verification, credit rating had a positive effect on financial performance, sales performance and credit sales decision, while credit control had a positive effect on financial performance, while negative effect on sales performance and credit sales decision. In the mediating effect hypothesis test, credit sales decision had a positive effect between credit rating and business performance and a negative effect between credit control and business performance. The study suggests that if small and medium-sized enterprises improve their business performance through effective accounts receivable management, they can create a synergistic effect in enhancing the business performance of companies if they simultaneously improve their proactive accounts receivable management and credit sales decision ability. Future research is required to study the impact of factors such as segmentation of research subjects and credit transaction motives and accounts receivables management.

In this paper, we propose a method that uses fuzzy decision tree based health pre-diagnosis system of oriental medicine. The proposed fuzzy decision tree based health pre-diagnosis system uses the data from the past which has been pre-trained to get the boundary values based on entropy then, when the user inputs the symptoms, the top 5 diseases that causes those symptoms are extracted. With the extracted top 5 diseases, the system provides information on those diseases with the cause and how to treat them with folk remedies. The database of the diseases and their symptoms is established with the information based on the various books that the oriental doctor recommended then reviewed by the oriental doctor for confirmation. By utilizing the data from the past to train the symptoms of the diseases, the proposed oriental medicine-based health pre-diagnosis system method could provide more accurate diagnosis results faster.
