Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing nursing students' caring efficiency. Methods: This study included 212 nursing students from three University nursing departments in Busan metropolitan city. Data were collected from September 1 to September 29, 2021, using self-report questionnaires. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted with SPSS version 24.0. Results: Positive psychological capital and interpersonal competence on the relationship and character of nursing students were positively correlated with caring efficiency. The variables affecting the caring efficiency of the subjects were character (β=.60, p<.001), amount of participation in a character development program (5 times or more) (β=.16, p=.023), levels of stress (moderate β=.13, p=.037; low β=.15, p=.015), motivation to apply to a nursing program (β=.12, p=.024), and volunteer experience (β=.11, p=.038). The total explanatory power of the variables was 50.0% (F=14.69, p<.001). Conclusion: Character was one of the biggest influential factors on caring efficiency. In order to improve nursing students' caring efficiency, above all, it is necessary to make efforts to raise the level of individual character.

한국간호 I. 간호행정제도 및 법규의 변천 1. 간호행정기구 한국의 의료행정은 현대의학의 도입과 더불어 1894년 6월 내부에 위생국을 둔다는 규정이 발표됨으로서 시작되었고 1901년 관제개편에 따라 위생국에 보건과와 의무과가 설치되었다. 그 후 1945년 12월 보건후생부 간호사업국내에 보건간호과 기관간호과 조산 간호과가 설치되었고 각 도에는 간호 사업계가 설치되었다. 1948년부터는 보건사회부 의정국내의 조산간호과가 간호 사업과로 개편되었다. 그후 1970년 간호사업과가 간호사업담당관제로 개편되었으며 1981년부터는 간호사업담당관제도 폐지되어 보건국의 가족보건과나 의정국 지역의료과에서 한 명의 간호원이 참여하는 정도로 간호행정기구가 점차 축소되었다. 2. 간호법규 1)면허 1962년 개정된 의료법에 의하여 간호원의 면허는 문교부장관이 인가한 간호교육기관 졸업자중 간호원 국가시험 합격자로 규정하였다. 조산원의 경우는 1914년 처음으로 조산원 면허등록을 시작하였으며 현재는 간호원 면허를 받은 자로서 보건사회부장관이 지정하는 교육병원에서 1년의 정규 교육과정을 필한자로 그 자격을 명시하고 있다. 2) 자격시험 자격시험은 1916년부터 실시되었으며 1920년 이후는 각 도에서 관할 실시하였다. 그 후 1962년부터는 보건사회부장관의 주도하에 국가시험을 시행하였으며 현재는 국립 보건원에서 간호원을 포함한 의료업자의 국가 시험을 주관하고 있다. 3)간호수가 간호원 조산원에 관한 간호수가 관계 규칙은 1911년에 발표된 것으로 간호원의 경우 출장 시에 출장비와 간호료를 환자가 지불하도록 하는 것이었다. 1925년 5월까지는 각 지역별로 간호수가에 차이가 있었으나 동년 6월부터 수가규정이 전국적으로 통일되었다. 그 후 1953년부터는 국공립병원 간호원들에게도 다른 일반 공직자와 같이 직급을 보함으로서 간호직에 대한 보수가 통일되었으며 1971년부터는 간호직 수당이 제정되었다. II. 간호사업의 분야별 발전 1. 임상간호제도의 발전 1)초기의 임상간호 한국에 서양의학을 기초로 설립된 최초의 병원은 1885년 의사 Allen에 의한 왕립병원이다. 그 후 정부에 의하여 1894년 군부병원이 설립되었고, 1899년 내부병원이 1904년에 적십자 병원이 설립되었다. 당시에 이루어진 현대간호는 일본인 간호원들에 의해 전해진 일본식 간호와 선교사 간호원들에 의해 전해진 서구식 간호방식이 있었는데 이 두 간호방법은 문화적 배경이나 사회적 인습에 의한 많은 차이점을 볼 수 있었다. 2) 일제하의 임상간호 이 당시에 이루어진 일본식 간호방법을 보면 간호원들의 주업무가 환자를 위한 간호보다도 의사 보조에 더 치중한 것을 볼 수 있다. 한편 선교계 병원에서는 입원환자에 대해서는 간호원들이 전인간호를 실시하였으며 병원당국과 의사들의 협조로 많은 간호사업의 발전을 가져올수 있었다. 3) 광복 이후의 임상간호 6.25 동란 후 한국에는 병원이 계속 늘어나 현재 20Bed 이상의 전국의 병원수가 431개소이고 이중 80Bed 이상의 종합병원이 148개소나 된다. 각 병원의 간호사업은 간호사업과 또는 간호사업부의 행정체제로 운영되고 있으며 최근에는 간호과정(Nursing Process)의 개념을 도입하여 문제중심 간호기록인 POMR(Problem Oriented Medical Record) 방법을 시도하고 있다. 또한 면허간호원은 매년 중앙회에서 실시하는 보수교육을 10시간 이상 받고 있다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the weight loss experience of highly obese young people who underwent bariatric surgery. Methods: Data were collected, from October 2021 to April 2022, through individual in-depth interviews with eight highly obese young adults who underwent bariatric surgery and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: The following four theme clusters were extracted. First, 'The unbearable sorrow of obese people' explains the process of choosing bariatric surgery after fluctuations and frustration despite countless repeated weight loss attempts. Second, 'The impact aftermath of bariatric surgery' revealed participants struggling in the face of unexpected changes due to bariatric surgery. Third, 'Efforts to rebuild a healthy myself' demonstrated the struggle to regain health by using the surrounding support system to overcome the difficulties of this surgical procedure. Lastly, 'Facing life by getting rid of the yoke of obesity' displayed the experiences of the participants who felt ambivalent about their changed appearance, but coping positively with the new life. Conclusion: This study provides an in-depth understanding of the weight loss experiences of highly obese adolescents who underwent bariatric surgery and presents a new perspective on clinical practice. The results of this study are expected to be useful in developing and applying systematic and customized nursing interventions before and after bariatric surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of physical, psychological, and social factors on the health status of patients undergoing hemodialysis using longitudinal data. Methods: Two surveys were conducted within a period of two-year. A total of 75 patients participated in both surveys. Eight variables including symptoms, treatment belief, hope, meaning-focused coping, family support, friend/peer support, healthcare provider support, and health status were measured. Data were analyzed by paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.31 and the average duration of dialysis was 8.27 years. There was no difference in scores on perceived health status between the two year-interval surveys. The two-year follow-up on perceived health status was correlated with baseline perceived health status, friend/peer support, meaning-focused coping, hope, and symptoms. As the result of the regression analysis, friends/peer support (${\beta}=.31$, p=.013) and baseline perceived health status (${\beta}=.30$, p=.020) were found to be significant predictors of subsequent health status which explained 39.0% of the variance. Conclusion: This study suggests the importance of psychosocial resources for positive health outcomes in patients with a chronic illness. Nursing interventions aimed to provide renal peer support need to be developed and tested.

The purpose of this study was to identify calls, roles and attitudes of the Christian medical staff in a modern medical system for holistic healing through belief in God's healing methods and God's view about medical treatment. The meaning of healing in the Bible is derived from Rapha in the Old Testament, it's meaning is 'heal wound', 'restore to original condition', 'repair', 'console' and 'be heal'. In the New Testament, the meaning of healing is 'to serve' and 'be in one's service' derived from Therapuein and preserve', 'rescue', 'save a life from death' derived from Sozo. The term of soteriology originated from Sozo. Therefore the meaning of the healing in the Bible is restoring original completeness to the same as Cod's characteristics. The meaning of disease is physical, psychological, social and spiritual imbalance or disharmonious. Disease is usually depravity from moral life to immoral life and abnormal life process with accompaning specific symptoms. Medical staff were called to God's work. recognized God's will for them, and absolutely leaned on God's power to intervene and work above spatial-temporal transcendently. They use spiritual power with medical treatment skills, help sick people to possibly have dynamic and individual relation with God and help to maintain their well-being and complete healing. Attitudes of medical staff were compassion and love, virtue of modesty, strong and daring, patience with belief, healing with God's word, using spiritual insight, play. using medical knowledge and techniques, continuing spiritual training, laying on of hands and repentance.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the frequency and importance of basic nursing practice between comprehensive nursing care service wards and general wards and to provide basic data for the efficient of services. The subjects of this study were 99 comprehensive nursing care service and 90 general wards. Data were collected from February 1 to 28, 2018 and analyzed using a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Scheffe test. The results showed that the frequency of basic nursing practice was higher by 2.43, and there were significant differences in personal hygiene, nutrition and excretion, exercise & activity. The recognition of the importance of basic nursing was high in both groups, but comprehensive nursing care service wards were slightly higher at 4.24 points. However, as the frequency of practice is lower than the recognition of the importance of basic nursing, a method to increase the frequency of practice is necessary. These results suggest that comprehensive nursing care service wards should provide appropriate nursing staff and system development so the nurses can provide care service as professionals.
