Purpose:This study was conducted to identify the effects of theSemi-Fowler's position on post-operative recovery and pain for patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery Methods: This study utilized a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design to validate the effects of theSemi-Fowler's position. After IRB approval, 56 patients took part in this study, 29 in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Consent was obtained from the participants. The Semi-Folwer's position was applied to experimental group and the supine position was applied to the control group for 24 hours after surgery. All data were reviewed retrospectively from April to June 2016. Collected data, frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, chi-squared test, independent t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were conducted using SPSS 20.0. Results: There was no significant difference between the experimental and control group with regard to recovery outcomes; however, there was a significance differencebetween groups and among check times with regard to post operational pain. Conclusion:The results of this study provide information that will be usefulto the development of strategies for improving recovery outcomes and pain for laparoscopic operation patients.

The purpose of this study was to know the difference in pain, sleep, self-care behavior in patients performed by sternotomy and robotic minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. The participants were 64 patients with sternotomy and 64 patients with minimal thoracotomy in heart valve surgeries at a tertiary hospital in Seoul. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$ test, paired t-test. with SPSS/WIN(22.0). The participants with minimally invasive thoracotomy felt severe pain than the patients with thoracotomy at post operation day 2 & 5. The severe pain site were the surgical site in both groups. The participants with sternotomy had better sleep than minimally invasive thoracotomy patients. Self-care behavior was higher in the minimally invasive thoracotomy group. Therefore, despite the many advantages of robotic surgery such as rapid recovery and shortening of length of stay in hospital, accurate pain assessment and application of differentiated protocols are needed for the management of pain in the patients with robotic minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. In addition, a structured education program intervention is needed to improve comfort by considering gender, age, and method of operation.

무의식환자와 수술후환자의 구강청결방법으로 Milk of Magnesia를 사용하였을 때의 효과여부와 수술 환자에게 Milk of Magnesia와 함께 Chewing Gum을 사용했을 때의 효과여부를 측정하기 위하여 인디아나대학 Medical Center에 입원한 무의식환자 2명과 수술 후 마취에서 깨어난 환자 4명을 대상으로 하여 7-8시간 간격으로 2일간 구강청결을 실시했다. 본 연구는 1969년 가을학기에 시행했으며 분석방법으로는 표본 크기가 적은 경우에도 사용할 수 있는 방법의 T-test를 사용했으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 무의식환자에서 Milk of Magnesia로 구강청결을 시행했을 때의 구강상태는 시행전보다 유의적으로 호전되지 못했다(p>0.1). 2. 수술 후 환자에서 Milk of Magnesia로 구강청결을 시행했을 때의 구강상태는 시행전보다 유의적으로 호전되었다(p>0.05). 3. 수술 후 환자에서 Milk of Magnesia와 Chewing Gum을 동반하여 사용했을 때의 구강상태는 유의적으로 호전되었다(p<0.05).

This study was conducted to investigate the relationships among self-efficacy, family support, and self-care performance of gastric cancer surgery patients. The study was conducted from 11 October to 15 November 2013. Data were collected by self-report questionnaires from 121 patients who were diagnosed with stomach cancer and had undergone surgery at D university hospital in B city and were in follow-up care for 3 months to 5 years after surgery. Data were analyzed using SPSS/PC WIN 18.0 to obtain the percentage, average, mean rating, and standard deviation. In addition, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression were conducted. The degree of self-care performance in research targets showed significant differences by sex (t=-2.25, ｐ=0.027), religion (F=3.67, ｐ=0.028) and profession (F=4.17, ｐ=0.008). Self-care performance was positively correlated (r=0.60, ｐ<0.001) with the degree of specific self-efficacy. There was a significant difference in self-care performance by specific self-efficacy, religion and gender. The total explanatory power was 37.9% and the explanatory power of the degree of specific self-efficacy (${\beta}=0.53$) was greater than that of other factors. Therefore, it is necessary to provide interventions that improve specific self-efficacy to help patients with gastric cancer patients conduct self-care performance, and practical measures should be made with respect to religion and gender.

The study verified the work capacity (job performance, perception, knowledge) and satisfaction on managing the inventory of operating room nurses working in a more than 700-bed hospital. The purpose of this study was to provide basic data of education for work capacity and satisfaction and quality insurance by analyzing the scores between the three different operating rooms and the correlation between the work capacity and satisfaction by investigating the related factors. This study presented a structured and self-administered questionnaire to 181 nurses who had been working in the operating room more than six months. The mean and standard deviation of the job performance, perception, knowledge, and satisfaction were 4.2(${\pm}0.56$), 3.4(${\pm}0.76$), 3.5(${\pm}0.40$), and 3.4(${\pm}0.55$), respectively. The work capacity and satisfaction of each group did not show a statistically significant difference. The correlations between the job performance and knowledge, knowledge and perception, perception and satisfaction were positive (r=.627, p<0.01), (r=.663, p<0.01) and (r=.485, p<0.01), respectively. Among the factors related to the general characteristics of operating room nurses, only age significantly affected their job performance. This study provides basic data on the maintenance and improvement of their competence and satisfaction by being served as a resource for sustainable human resources management and training, and efficient management of the communication channel between hospitals.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess combined effects of early oral feeding after Cesarean section (C/S) under regional anesthesia on bowel function, gastrointestinal complications and surgical recovery. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using KISS, RISS, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, CENTRAL and Google Scholar to identify randomized clinical trials comparing early oral feeding (EOF) with delayed oral feeding (DOF) after C/S. Outcome variables were bowel function and gastrointestinal complications and surgical recovery. Effect size was calculated using weighted mean differences (WMDs) and relative risks (RRs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Seven studies involving 1,911 patients from 568 studies, 7 studies were included in meta-analysis. EOF was significantly associated with shorter time to recover bowel movement compared with DOF (WMD, - 2.50; CI, - 3.50~- 1.50). EOF was not associated with nausea (RR, 1.15; CI, 0.87~1.53) and vomiting (RR, 0.96; CI, 0.65~1.42), but lower incidence of abdominal distension (RR, 0.70; CI, 0.50~0.98). EOF was significantly associated with shorter time to discontinuation of intravenous fluids (WMD, - 8.88; 95% CI, - 16.65~- 1.11) and removal of urinary catheter (WMD, - 15.23; CI, - 25.62~- 4.85). Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides evidence that EOF after C/S under regional anesthesia not only accelerates return of bowel function and surgical recovery but also reduces gastrointestinal complications. These results suggest that EOF should be offered to women who have undergone C/S to improve the recovery experience and reduce overall medical costs.

To measure the degree of work stress and identify factors influencing the stress among OR nurses, a study was implemented for 131 OR nurses working at four university hospitals in Taegu city through self administered questionnaires. Mean score of total work stress of nurses was 3.71, when maximum score was 5. Relatively high degrees of work stress was evident among OR nurses. When the related factors of the stress specified in the questionnaire were grouped into 11 categories, the respondents turned out to feel the highest stress when they were faced with the categories of non-peculiar duty and personal conflict with doctors. The most stressful events were nursing malpractice during surgical operations and damage to OR equipments. The nurses more susceptible to workstress were married with one child, less educated and worked at OR for 3 to 6 years.
