In this paper, we propose a test method to evaluate the reliability of the recliner sofa in the early stage of production. In order to develop the test method, we analyzed the failure mechanism occurring in the field and designed the performance test, environmental test, accelerated life test methods based on the analysis of failure mechanism. The failure mechanism is reproduced by applying the designed test. The reliability of the recliner sofa can be verified at the production stage through the proposed test method.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hand acupressure in relieving constipation among patients with paraplegia. Methods: Data were collected from a total of 52 participants with paraplegia from a spinal cord injury. Data were analyzed by chi-square test and t-test using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: The numbers of bowel movements per week increased in the experimental group who have received hand acupressure increased as compared with the control. Satisfaction with defecation of the experimental group improved as compared with the control. The level of constipation in the experimental group decreased compared to the control. Conclusion: We found that hand acupressure is effective in relieving constipation among patients with paraplegia from a spinal cord injury.

Seven new hydrazine derivatives were prepared from N-Aryllsufonylbenzimidoyl chloride. These were: ${\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)hydrazine\;(II),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)dimethylmethylenehydrazine\;(III),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)phenylhydrazine\;(VII),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)-4-nitrophenylhydrazine\;(VIII),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine\;(IX),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)dimethylhydrazine\;(X),\;{\beta}-({\alpha}-Benzenesulfonamidobenzal)-p-methylphenylhydrazine\;(XI)$. The structure of these derivatives were identified by elemental analysis, spectral data and other chemical methods. In general, it was found that the yields of these reactions were significantly improved in polar solvent and by the electron attracting substituents in phenylhydrazine.

Purpose: This study has aimed to examine the relationship among self-esteem, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and depression reported by hospitalized elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods: A descriptive correlation study by means of a self-report questionnaire or face-to-face interview was used to collect data from 119 elderly patients who were hospitalized in a General Hospital from January 5 to February 25, 2010. Their levels of depression was measured using Short-Form Geriatric Depression Scale, self esteem using Jeon's, and activities of daily living using K-ADL. Results: 80.7% of the subjects experienced depression. Depression correlates with self-esteem (r=-.67) and ADL (r=.45). The influencing factors on depression were self-esteem, ADL, subjective health status, and family support satisfaction ($R^2=.57$), while self esteem in itself explained 45% of variance in depression. Conclusion: These findings indicate the importance of early detection of depression, which starts from the admission of patients and the continuing evaluation/management in daily life after discharge to ensure their well-being and quality of life. The development of program empowering self esteem, ADL and subjective health status with adequate family support during hospitalization and in daily life is indispensible.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a comprehensive cognitive rehabilitation program that can be easily applied to brain injured patients by family members or nurses in community or hospital settings. Methods: A Systemic literature review design was used. Thirty-three related studies were reviewed. Result: Based on the results of the literature review, the training tasks for attention were designated to enhancing 4 hierarchical areas, i.e., focused, selective, alternating, and divided attention. On the other hand, the memory rehabilitation tasks mainly consisted of mnemonic skills, such as the association method which helps patients memorize given information by linking together common attributes, the visual imagery method, and self-instruction method. The problem solving rehabilitation program included a task of games or plays which stimulated the patients' curiosity and interest. The training tasks for problem solving were to encourage the process of deriving reasonable solutions for a problematic situation resembling real problems that the patients were faced with in their everyday life. Conclusion: It is expected that the cognitive rehabilitation program developed from this study could help patients having difficulty in their every day life, due to a reduced cognitive ability resulting from brain injury, to effectively adapt to every day life.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to evaluate stress in elderly patients with coronary artery diseases (CAD) and to examine validity and reliability of the scale. Methods: The development process for the preliminary scale included construction of a conceptual framework and initial items, verification of content analysis, sentence correction, and pilot study. This study was conducted using a questionnaire survey with one-to-one interviews during January and February, 2012. Participants were 240 elderly patients with CAD. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, criterion related validity, and internal consistency. Results: The developed scale consisted of 32 items and 6 factors - aging and disease (7 items), family relations (5 items), anxiety and withdrawal (9 items), management of daily living (3 items), compliance of medical regimen (4 items), poverty and finance (4 items), and explained 68.5% of total variance. The scale had significantly positive correlation with the Korean Perceived Stress Scale (KPSS). Cronbach's alpha was .96, and Guttman split half coefficient was .91. Conclusion: Results indicate that the Stress Scale for Elderly Patients with CAD has validity and reliability, and is a suitable scale in health care settings to assess stress in elderly patients with CAD.

Purpose: This exploratory study was to identify the use of complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) in women with breast cancer and to analyze which factor influence CAM use. Methods: 114 patients with breast cancer were identified and approached. The instrument used to gather data were the common types, main reasons and effects as well as stress, mood states and fatigue. Results: 42.7% of all participants reported the use of CAM. The most common types of CAM used were Phellinus linteus, elm tree, and vitamin C. The main reasons for CAM use were to boost the immune system and to prevent recurrence. Prayer, massage, Shitake mushroom, and Ganoderma lucidum were, identified as being more effective than others. 93.6% of the respondents informed their physicians of their use of CAM. Logistic regression analysis determined that stress, mood states, and duration after diagnosis were factors significantly associated with CAM use. Conclusion: CAM use is increasing among patients with breast cancer. Health care professionals are in the main position to identify what treatments patients are using and implement CAM therapies that can be helpful to relieve patient symptoms related to treatment and psychological distress.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of bibliotherapy on college students' competency. For this purpose, data were collected from the students who participated in bibliotherapy class. As a result, it was found that bibliotherapy strengthened college students' competency. Specifically, it was found that bibliotherapy has a positive effect on enhancing self-identity and interpersonal relationships in college students. In addition, it has a positive effect on problem solving, and motivation for achievement. These results may be a rationale for the need of bibliotherapy course to strengthen students' competency at college.
