Purpose : The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the experiences of the advanced nurse practitioner (APN) system used by healthcare providers including APNs, doctors who worked with APNs, and APN master's course professors at a graduate school. Methods : Qualitative data were collected via snowball sampling. The participants were nine APNs, six doctors, and three professors. They were divided into three focus groups, each of which consisted of all three types of healthcare providers. Data were collected via interviews with the three focus groups conducted from September to October 2019. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. The transcribed data then underwent qualitative content analysis. Results : Based on the data, we extracted four themes and 14 categories. The themes were "Role and system of APNs started according to healthcare environment changes", "Optimal healthcare provider to ensure quality of care", "Confused role and system of APNs due to incomplete medical law", and "Tasks for the stable operation of the APN system." Conclusion : For quality treatment and safety of patients, a legal basis must be established for the APN system. For its stable operation, social consensus regarding legislation about APNs' scope of practice is required. Finally, a discussion is necessary about the integration of APNs' 13 fields.

The realistic problem about the dental hygiene education in our country is what the correlation between theoretical education and clinical education is short, and what the systematically clinical-practice education is failing to be realized. In order to solve this problem, the aim is to introduce preceptor and to present necessity in order to apply preceptor to the practice education for dental hygiene department. 1. What is the largest in the difference between the observation experience and the performance experience by element in clinical-performance activity is the patience-care service sphere(P < .001). 2. A hospital with the highest observation-practice experience level in children with the observation experience by hospital was in order of K hospital, Y hospital, H hospital, B hospital, and A hospital(P < .001, P < .01). 3. A hospital was the highest in the difference of the performance-practice experience level by hospital. And, the next was in order of H hospital, Y hospital, K hospital, and B hospital(P < .001, P < .01). 4. As for recognition on importance of clinical-practice activity in dental hygienists, the dental hygienists with more than the third year were indicated to be the highest than the dental hygienists with less than the 3rd year among 58 dental hygienists. Given seeing the results of this study, the more systematic and educational clinical-practice environment will need to be improved by suggesting a role of preceptor and to seek for a plan for application in the clinical-practice education.

This study is a descriptive survey study that attempted to confirm clinical nurses' consciousness of biomedical ethics, moral sensitivity, critical thinking deposition, and nursing ethics code of clinical nurses, as well as to identify the factors influencing the recognition of the nursing code of ethics. The general and ethical characteristics of the subject were calculated by frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, and the difference for each variable according to the general and ethical characteristics was analyzed using SAS 9.4, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA, and Scheffé test. The average, standard deviation, and the minimum and maximum values were used for the scores of each variable, and the correlation was determined using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Multiple regression was used to identify the factors that influence the recognition of the nurse's code of ethics. All variables showed significant correlations. Critical thinking deposition (p<.05) was the most influential variable in recognizing the code of ethics for nurses. Critical thinking deposition (p<.001), consciousness in biomedical ethics (p<.001), and moral sensitivity (p<.001) were shown to be affected in order, with 27.4% explaining power. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply educational programs to clinical nurses that can improve critical thinking, life and bioethics, and moral sensitivity.

Purpose: This study attempted to adapt evidence-based oral health care guidelines for nursing home residents in South Korea. Methods: The manual for guideline adaptation, version 2.0, developed by the Korean National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency was applied. On the basis of a comprehensive literature review of current research and multidisciplinary panel discussion on adapting such guidelines, we developed evidence- based guidelines for oral health at nursing homes. Results: The guidelines have three domains: oral assessment, oral hygiene care, and support and facilities. Oral assessment includes recommendations on the frequency of and tools for conducting oral health assessment. Oral hygiene care involves recommendations for care of natural teeth, denture care, xerostomia, and behavioral problems. Support and facilities refer to six components of the support system provided by facilities to encourage oral hygiene care among nursing home residents. Conclusion: These adapted guidelines could be an effective method to improve oral hygiene among nursing home residents.

최근 몇 년 사이에 자연친화적인 하천복원의 관심이 고조되면서 자연형 하천공법의 적용 초기단계를 걷고 있는 우리나라에서는 생태계 복원과 더불어 인명과 재산을 보호할 수 있는 안전한 자연형 하천 공법의 개발을 위해 수리적 안전성을 지속적으로 관찰하고 분석할 필요가 있다. 그러나 아직까지 우리나라에서는 수리적 및 치수 방재적 측면에서 자연형 하천공법의 안전성에 대한 표준화되고 일관된 분석체계가 아직 구성되지 못하여 자연형 하천정비 공법의 실무적용에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 더구나 소하천 유역은 지역적 특성이 두드러지고 계절에 따른 유량변화가 심하여 하천의 수리적 안전에 대한 분석체계가 적절하게 갖추어지고 있지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자연형 하천공법에 따른 소하천의 수리적 안전성과 하천정비 전$\cdot$후의 치수기능의 변화를 Hec-Ras(river analysis system)를 이용하여 적용대상 유역의 수리$\cdot$수문학적. 기하학적, 기상학적 자료들 기본으로 대상유역에 모의해 보았으며 그 결과로부터 자연형 하천정비 전$\cdot$후의 수리적 안전성을 해석하고 하천의 치수기능에 대한 자료를 얻고자 하였다. Hec-Ras를 이용한 연구의 결과 값들은 국내에서의 자연형 하천공법 적용에 따른 하천의 수리적 안전성을 판단하는 표준화된 분석체계를 마련하는데 기초 자료를 제공할 것이며 자연형 하천정비의 기준과 적용을 확립하는데 중요한 의미를 가질 것으로 판단된다.
