This study aims to look for care quality factors reduce the daily stress of young children placed in care centers for long hours. Therefore, the research questions look into how the hours and care quality factors in child care centers affect young children's daily stress, and whether the care quality factor moderates the impact of the hours children spent in centers. The subjects in this study were 380 children from 3 to 5 years old from 10 child care centers. The Korean Preschool Daily Stress Scale(KPDSS) for children's daily stress and Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale-Revised(ECERS-R) for quality of each classroom of centers were implemented. The main findings were summarized as following: (1) The more hours he/she spent in the center, the more stress he/she had. Children who spent 9 hours or more had more stress than children with 7 hours or less. (2) Among the 7 quality factors including space and furnishings, personal care routines, language reasoning, activities, interaction, program structure, parents staff, the interaction level between a teacher and a child and the level of parents and staff had the most impact on children's daily stress. (3) The qualitative factors of child care, language reasoning level, interaction level, parental support, and level of teachers reduced children's daily stress which was affected by the hours they spent in centers. Thus in order to reduce the daily stress of children who attend more than 9 hours a day, it is crucial to promote language reasoning activities and interaction between teachers and children and to improve parental support and teachers' professionalism.

The purpose of this study was to explore potential correlation between the amount of time children spent in child care centers and their daily stress levels. The subjects of this study were 165 children (aged 2~5) who attended a child care center in Seoul. Children were interviewed individually, and tested using 23 picture cards which describe a range of stressful situations. The results of this study were as follows: the children's age led to significant differences in their stress level. The age at which the children first entered the child care center had no significant impact on their stress level. However, the times spent in child care centers showed a significant correlation with stress. The longer time the child spent in the center, the higher the degree of stress they encountered.

This study aimed to investigate measures which could reduce the daily stress of 3-5-years-olds who are attending daycare centers, by examining the effects of 3-5-years-olds' time spent in daycare centers and peer competence on daily stress. To this end, two hundred and fifty 3-5-years-olds attending the same daycare for more than 6 months were selected from 5 daycare centers in Daejeon Metropolitan City and tested for their daily stress levels. In addition their teachers completed peer competence tests and a short questionnaire regarding the 3-5-years-olds. In terms of the results, those 3-5-years-olds who spent more than 7 hours or longer in daycare centers were found to have a higher level of daily stress than the 3-5-years-olds who spent less than 7 hours. Additionally, those 3-5-years-olds who returned home after 6 p.m were found to have a higher level of daily stress than the 3-5-years-olds who returned home before 6 p.m. Moreover, it was found that the more time 3-5-years-olds spent in daycare centers and the lower their peer competences were, the more daily stress they seemed to experience.

우리 나라 병원이나 의료진에 대한 '불신의 벽'은 높다. 많은 환자들은 긴 대기시간과 짧은 진료시간에 불만을 토로하고, 일부 환자들은 질 높은 의료서비스를 찾아 외국으로 떠난다. 이종철 삼성서울병원장에게 해답을 묻는다.

문제: 장기 입원 치료를 받은 미숙아의 퇴원교육을 퇴원당일 짧은 시간에 시행함으로써 간호사는 제한된 인력으로 교육시간을 길게 할애하지 못하고, 표준화된 지침의 부재로 인해 퇴원교육을 누락하는 경우가 있으며 보호자는 교육내용을 충분히 이해할 시간이 부족하여 퇴원에 대한 필요 이상의 두려움을 가지고 있었다. 목적: 미숙아에 대한 퇴원교육을 표준화된 지침에 따라 단계적이고 체계적인 방법으로 개선함으로써 불필요한 퇴원지연을 예방하여 재원일수 단축시키고 보호자의 양육 자신감을 향상시킨다. 의료기관: 부산광역시에 소재한 대학병원의 신생아실 질 향상 활동: 미숙아의 퇴원을 지연시키는 원인을 분석하고 개선된 미숙아 퇴원교육 방법을 적용한 후 미숙아 재원일수와 보호자의 양육자신감을 측정하였다. 개선효과: 개선 활동 후 미숙아의 재원일수가 11.33일에서 8.28일로 3.05일 단축되었고 보호자 양육자신감 점수는 68점에서 76.25점으로 8.25점 향상되었다. 교훈: 퇴원을 앞둔 미숙아들이 좀 더 개방적으로 가족과 함께 지내면서 퇴원준비를 할 수 있는 여건과 미숙아의 성장과 발달에 대한 보호자들의 이해를 돕기 위한 인터넷강좌나 공개 강좌 등이 필요하다. 보호자들의 양육 자신감 향상과 정보교환을 위해 자조조직을 활성화하고 보다 질 높은 서비스를 위해서는 현실적으로 간호사의 인원 충원이 필요하다.

We defined factors affecting the postoperative outcome in adult cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Thirty-two adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery participated in this study. Levels of leukocyte, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), troponin-I (cTNI), interleukin-6 (IL-6), D-dimer and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were significantly elevated, whereas platelet count declined in cardiac surgery with CPB. GOT and D-dimer levels at CPB-off each had a positive significant correlation significantly with 24 hrs-bleeding, total bleeding, mechanical ventilatory assist time, ICU stay time and length of hospitalization. BUN levels at CPB-off were directly related to total bleeding, mechanical ventilatory assist time, ICU stay time and length of hospitalization. Platelet count at CPB-off was inversely related to mechanical ventilatory assist time, ICU stay time and length of hospitalization. Creatinine concentration at CPB-off interrelated positively with mechanical ventilatory assist time and ICU stay time. NSE levels at CPB-off had a positive relationship with postoperative 24 hrs-bleeding. The length of hospitalization was prolonged proportionally to the elevation of cTNI levels in cardiac surgery. Aortic cross-clamping and total CPB times also related with increase of 24 hrs and total bleeding volumes and the length of hospitalization. IL-6 and ET-1 had no mutual relation with any postoperative outcome. These data suggest that GOT, BUN, creatinine, D-dimer and platelet levels are the most important factors affecting postoperative outcomes and patient's recovery in adult cardiac surgery with CPB.

담관 낭종은 흔하지는 않지만, 외과적 절제가 필요한 주요 질환이다. 절제하지 않고 남겨두면 다른 질환으로의 이환이나 다양한 합병증에 의한 사망까지도 야기할 수 있기 때문에 적절한 수술적 치료가 필수적이다. 최근 수술에 따른 다양한 문제들이 계속 보고되고 있으며, 출생 전이나 건강 검진 시 발견되는 무증상의 담관 낭종의 수술 시기에 대해서도 아직 논란이 되고 있다. 저자들은 1995년부터 2009년까지 담관 낭종으로 수술 받은 환자 중 수술 받을 당시의 연령이 18세 이하인 32명 환자의 임상 양상과 수술 기록을 후향적으로 분석하여, 수술 성적에 영향을 주는 요인들을 알아보고자 하였다. 전체 32명 중 남자 10명, 여자 22명이었으며, 수술 당시의 평균 연령은 5.4세였다. 췌담관 합류이상은 9명(28.1%)이었으며, 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 34.6개월이었다. 술 전 증상을 호소한 환자는 30명(93.8%)이었으며, 복통(63.3%), 황달(40.0%), 구토(23.3%), 복부종물(16.7%), 발열(16.7%)등의 순서였다. 술 전 혈액 검사에서 AST/ALT의 상승이 18명(56.3%), 고빌리루빈혈증이 8명, 백혈구 증가증이 7명(21.9%)이었다. 술 후 합병증은 5명(15.6%)에서 나타났는데, 2명은 담관염이었고, 나머지 3명은 문합부 협착, 술 후 출혈, 장 폐쇄가 각각 1명 있었다. 술 후 평균 재원 기간은 12.2일 이었으며, 추적 관찰 기간 중 3명(9.0%)이 재입원 하였다. 수술 성적에 영향을 미치는 요인으로, 수술 당시의 나이가 많을수록 평균 수술 시간과 재원 기간이 증가하였다(p=0.004, p=0.028). 증상이 있었던 환자군에서 무증상 환자군보다 재원 기간이 더 길었다(p=0.001). 또한 췌담관 합류이상이 있었던 환자군에서 재입원율이 유의하게 높았다(p=0.005). 소아의 담관 낭종은 진단이 되면 증상 발현 전이라도 조기에 수술하는 것이 수술 시간 및 재원 기간을 단축시킬 수 있으며, 췌담관 합류이상이 동반된 경우에는 술 후에 재입원할 가능성이 높으므로 주의깊게 추적 관찰하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.
