This study examined the effects of an Experience Sharing Self-management Program (ESSP) on physiological indexes, knowledge, and self-management implementation among hypertension and diabetes patients in a primary public health center in G city. A quasi-experimental research was conducted with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental group (n=30) participated in a 12-week ESSP, and the control group (n=25) received only general services of a primary public health center between May 1 and October 31 in 2018. Data were analyzed with x2 test (Fisher's exact test), Mann-Whitney test, and Ranked ANCOVA using SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. The results showed significant differences in systolic blood pressure (F=14.56, p<.001), diastolic blood pressure (F=7.05, p=.012), knowledge (F=14.30, p=.001), self-management implementation (F=29.73, p<.001) of hypertension patients, knowledge (F=7.92, p=.010), and self-management implementation (F=4.54, p=.044) of diabetes patients between the two groups. Therefore, the ESSP was effective for reducing the blood pressure of hypertension patients and improving the knowledge and self-management implementation among hypertension and diabetes patients in a primary public health center.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the level of health literacy (HL) and self-management adherence and to investigate the relationship between HL and self-management adherence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: The participants of this study were 165 patients with COPD from a tertiary general hospital located in G city from February 10th to May 10th, 2021. The general HL was measured by the Korean health literacy assessment tool (KHLAT), COPD specific HL was measured by COPD-related HL tool, and COPD self-management adherence was measured by the COPD self-management tool. Results: The mean score of general HL was 60.45±9.42. The mean score of the COPD-related HL was 47.03±8.82. The mean score of the COPD self-management adherence was 87.58±14.47. There were significant differences in the level of COPD-related HL according to age (t=2.43, p=.016), and in the level of general HL (F=10.96, p<.001) and the level of COPD-related HL according to the level of education (F=19.14, p<.001). There were significant correlations between the level of general HL and the level of COPD-related HL (r=.75, p<.001) and the level of COPD-related HL and the level of self-management adherence (r=.219, p=.005). Conclusion: The HL of COPD patients was at the level of mild school 1-2 years in this study. Therefore, nurses who care for COPD patients should understand patients' level of HL and communicate self-management skills with patients at a level appropriate for patients' HL. In addition, it is necessary to develop strategies to easily learn COPD-related information when providing self management skills or training.

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable self-management instrument for pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A total of 143 patients with CKD recruited from a medical center completed the questionnaire. The dimension and items of self-management were composed by literature review. The items of self-management was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and measures of reliability. Five factors were extracted and labelled adherence to treatment regimen and partnership, diet adherence, problem solving, health behavior, and pursuit of psycho-social health. The five factors accounted for 51.1% of total variance. Each factors showed acceptable internal reliability with Cronbach's alpha from 0.64-0.79. The developed self-management instrument can be useful in self control of their disease for patients with CKD, and both evaluating patients' self-management and developing intervention program for health care professionals.

COPD(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)는 장기간에 걸쳐 기도가 좁아지는 폐질환으로, 규칙적 운동은 호흡을 용이하게 하고 증상을 개선할 수 있는 주요 자가관리 중재법 중 하나이다. 건강정보 데이터와 인공지능을 사용하여 규직적 운동 이행군과 불이행군을 선별하여 자가관리 취약 집단을 파악하는 것은 질병관리 측면에서 비용효과적인 전략이다. 하지만 많은 양의 데이터를 확보하기 어렵고, 규칙적 운동군과 그렇지 않은 환자의 비율이 상이하기 때문에 인공지능 모델의 전체적인 선별 능력을 향상시키기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사 데이터를 사용하여 머신러닝 모델인 XGBoost와 딥러닝 모델인 MLP에 오버샘플링, 언더샘플링, 가중치 부여 등 불균형 데이터 처리 기법을 적용 후 성능을 비교하여 가장 효과적인 불균형 데이터 처리 기법을 제시한다.

Purpose: Patients with chronic hepatitis B need lifelong health care because of progressive liver damage. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with self-management compliance among patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods: The research was a cross-sectional, descriptive design using questionnaires. The participants were 118 patients with chronic hepatitis B from outpatient department in a tertiary hospital. Their ages ranged from 20 to 64. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression with PASW statistics 19.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in self management compliance by gender, age, job, alcohol consumption, and smoking. A positive correlation existed between self-management compliance, awareness of the importance of management, and self efficacy. Stepwise multiple regression analysis for self-management compliance revealed that the most powerful predictor was self efficacy. Self efficacy, age, and alcohol consumption explained 37.5% of the variance. Conclusion: The results indicate a need to promote self-management compliance with these participants. The findings also suggest that consideration be given to characteristics of age and alcohol consumption in developing strategies for enhancing self efficacy and developing programs to promote self-management for patients with chronic hepatitis B.
