The purpose of this study is to identify trends in research on Specific Efficacy of nursing students and nurses in Korea and to provide suggestions for future studies. A literature search was conducted with 432 papers published between 1985 and 2018 from five electronic databases and other sources using such key words as 'Efficacy', 'nursing', 'nursing students,' 'nurses,' etc. The research design of 72 nursing researches on the specific efficacy of nurses and nursing students analyzed in this study was 96% in quantitative research, experimental studies accounted for 23 (30.7%). Development of effective and highly diverse teaching methods is recommended to increase specific efficacy. Supporting systems and funding are required to help activate research of nurses.

Purpose: The study evaluated the effects of a fall prevention program in a Korean rural area. Methods: A single pretest-posttest design group was studied. Thirty nine residents in the same rural area participated in a program comprised of education and exercise. The 5-week fall prevention program was performed for 60 minutes, once a week. Results: Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) score and Activities-specific of Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) score were significantly increased after the program, but the pre-and posttest FES and ABS scores were not significantly different between the fall experience group and non-fall experience group. Conclusion: The fall prevention program can improve rural residents' FES and ABS, and is recommended as a fall prevention intervention.

The purpose of this study was to confirm if self-management and self-efficacy of diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis patients were influencing factors on the hemodialysis-related symptoms. A cross-sectional study was performed on 254 patients based at 3 University hospital hemodialysis centers and 7 hemodialysis clinics from September 2017 to November 2017. The data was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that patients with stable economic condition and no complications from diabetes, the higher patient self-management and self-efficacy led to lower hemodialysis related symptoms. Therefore, the government should provide financial support, a management process needs to be set up to prevent complications from diabetes, and disease-specific patient self-management program should be implemented to increase patient's self-efficacy.

Anxiety for employment of workers has been increased due to rapid change of management environment, which tends to increase psychological instability on the job of all workers. Accordingly, this study examined the moderating effect of self-efficacy between job instability and organizational citizenship behavior. The research subjects were employees of small and medium companies in the manufacturing industry in Daejeon-si, Sejong-si and Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. 500 sheets of the questionnaire were distributed from August 5, 2015 to August 30, 2015. Among them, 321 were collected with 64.2% of the response rate. Total 312 sheets were used for analysis excluding 9 sheets with incomplete answers. The results are as follows. Firstly, it proved that job instability had negative (-) effect on organizational citizenship behavior. Secondly, in the relation between job instability and organizational citizenship behavior, there was moderating effect of self-efficacy. Accordingly, if self-efficacy of the workers is higher in the threat of job instability, it means organizational citizenship behavior would increase. In conclusion, in the current situation where there is instable survival of corporation and job, the management of small and medium manufacturing company needs to increase self-efficacy through training and internal reward to employees. The limit of the study is that the research subjects were employees of small and medium companies in the manufacturing industry in Daejeon-si, Sejong-si and Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. Accordingly, as situational peculiarity may be observed, it is required to have expanded study to more various areas, works and industries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate that the effect of Citrex and CPC on the growth of oral microorganism such as Streptococcus mutans KCTC 3065, Candida albicans KCTC 7122, and Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1916 which were cariogenic, candidiasis(bleeding gum, dry mouth and tongue, thrush) and angular cheilitis inducing bacteria, respectively. The efficacy of complex of Citrex and CPC was determined in assays measuring Halo Test. The gargle containing Citrex(0.02%) and CPC(0.02%) demonstrated broad-spectrum anti-microbial properties, with activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative and a yeast(Candida albicans).

실험실에서 합성된 phenylthiazole ester 와 p-chlorophenylthiazole ester 그리고 methoxyphenylthiazole ester 각각의 기질에 대한 백혈구 에스터라제의 활성화 감도 등을 검토한 후, 반응 특이성이 좋고 감도가 높은 기질을 선택하여, 요 중에 존재하는 백혈구 수를 간접적으로 측정함은 물론, 반응 단계에 따라 구분이 가능한 요 중 백혈구 측정용 시험지를 개발에 필요한 조건을 최적화 하고자 하였다. 또한, 상품화된 기존의 아미노산 에스테르 기질과 비교 검토하여 그 차이가 발견되면 간편하고 경제성을 고려한 에스테르 기질을 개발함은 물론, 발색성 효소 기질의 결점을 보완하기 위하여 그 개선책을 검토하였다. 그 결과 Thiazole 유도체와 아미노산 유도체로부터 만들어진 새로운 에스테르인 phenyl thiazole 아미노산 에스테르인 methoxyphenyl thiazole 아미노산 에스테르 기질이 기존의 상품과 비교했을 때 그 효능이 우수하였다.

This study aimed to investigate the convergence relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling in patients with stroke. A total of 113 patients with stroke participated in this study. Participants underwent inpatient rehabilitation and completed surveys with three different questionnaires including the fall efficacy scale (FES), translated Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia 13 (TSK-13), and activity-specific balance confidence scale (ABC). TSK-13 and FES showed weak negative correlation (r=-0.226), and TSK-13 and ABC showed moderate negative correlation (r=-0.300). FES had a very strong positive relationship compared with ABC (r=0.838). Faller showed significantly low FES and ABC scores compared with non-faller (p<0.05). These results present that patients with stroke had mild kinesiophobia, and kinesiophobia is related to fear of falling. It is necessary to evaluate kinesiophobia in stroke rehabilitation.

Objectives：As increasing number of new antidepressants have been being introduced in clinical practice, pharmacological understanding has been broadened. These changes mandate new information and theories to be incorporated into the treatment process of children with depressive disorders. In light of newly coming knowledge, this review intended to recapitulate the characteristics of new antidepressants and to consider the pivotal issues to develope guidelines for the treatment of depression in childhood and adolescence. Methods：Searching the Pub-Med online database for the articles with the key words of 'new', 'antidepressants' and 'children' ninety-seven headings of review articles were obtained. The author selected the articles of pertinent subjects in terms of either treatment guideline or psychopharmacology of new antidepressants. When required, articles about the clinical effectiveness of individual antidepressants were separatedly searched. In addition, the safety information of new antidepressants was acquired by browsing the official sites of the United States Food and Drugs Administration and Department of Health and Human Services. Results：1) For the clinical course, treatment phase, and treatment outcome, the reviews or treatment guidelines adopted the information from adult treatment guidelines. 2) Systematic and critical reviews unambiguously concluded that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRIs) excelled tricyclic antidepressants( TCAs) for both efficacy and side effect profiles, and were recommend for the first-line choice for the treatment of children with depressive disorders. 3) New antidepressants generally lacked treatment experiences and randomized controlled clinical trials. 4) SSRIs and other new antidepressants, when used together, might result in pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic drug-to-drug interaction. 5) The difference of the clinical effectiveness of antidepressants between children and adults should be addressed from developmental aspects, which required further evidence. Conclusion：Treatment guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of childhood and adolescence depression could be constructed on the basis of clinical trial findings and practical experiences. Treatment guidelines are to best serve as the frame of reference for a clinician to make reasonable decisions for a particular therapeutic situation. In order to fulfill this role, guidelines should be updated as soon as new research data become available.
