This study aims to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program on the cognition, anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior of elderly with dementia. The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasi-experimental study where 43 subjects were divided into two groups. Aromatherapy and foot reflex massage was administered to the experimental group (N=21), and no treatment was administered to the control group (N=22). The data was analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, while the repeated measures of ANOVA were utilized with the SPSS/Win 18.0 program. The experimental group did not show significant differences in cognitive function; however, it showed significant differences in anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior in relation to the control group. Thus this research suggests aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program as nursing intervention to improve the quality of life of elderly with dementia.

Purpose: To compare and analyze the rate of prevention of two venous thromboembolism prophylaxis guidelines in patients with artificial joint arthroplasty and hip joint fracture. Proper prophylaxis for preventing thromboembolism in orthopedic surgery is significant because of this fetal complication. Materials and Methods: This study compared and retrospective analyzed the rate of prevention using the medical records and radiographs of patients who underwent orthopedic surgery from March 2009 to February 2011 according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines and from March 2012 to February 2014 according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines. Results: The guidelines for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis have been applied to patients with artificial joint replacement and hip joint fracture, the compliance rate of the ACCP guidelines was 56.0% before surgery, 67.0% after surgery with chemical prophylaxis, and 80.5% with mechanical prophylaxis. In addition, the compliance rate of the AAOS guidelines was 74.1% with chemical prophylaxis, and 88.3% with mechanical prophylaxis, which was higher than the ACCP guidelines. The compliance rates of mechanical and chemical prophylaxis before and after surgery of the ACCP guidelines, and the compliance rate of mechanical and chemical prophylaxis of the AAOS guidelines were compared and analyzed. The results revealed statistical significance (p<0.05) before and after total knee replacement arthroplasty and hip joint fracture internal fixation and total high risk orthopedic surgery. Conclusion: Raising the compliance rate of prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in high risk orthopedic surgery is necessary and people should follow the guidelines for a unified direction depending on which situation they are in.

근래 환자의 불안을 조절하는 것이 성공적인 치료에 매우 중요하다는 인식이 확산되면서 의과, 치과, 영상의학과, 응급실 및 외래 수술센터 등에서 진정요법에 대한 필요가 현저하게 늘어났다. 응급상황이거나 아니거나 진정요법의 필요성은 점차 증가하고 있고 대한 소아치과학회는 이러한 진정요법에 대한 지침을 출간한 바 있다. 이번 개정은 진정요법에 필요한 적절한 환자감시(monitoring)의 필요에 관한 최신지견을 반영한 것이나 그럼에도 불구하고 이 지침에 충실하였다고 해서 특정환자의 결과를 보장하지는 못한다. 그러 나 이번에 소개하는 진정요법 protocol은 널리 받아들여지는 것으로 부작용 역시 최소화한 것이다. 소아 환자의 진정요법은 원하는 수준의 진정이나 투여 방법과는 상관없이 호흡기능 저하와 환자의 방어 반응이 소실될 수도 있다는 인식하에 작성되었다. 이번 호에서는 최근 2006년에 미국소아과학회와 미국소아치과학회가 공동으로 개정된 지침(Guideline for Monitoring and Management of Pediatric Patients During and After Sedation for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures developed and endorsed by AAP a and AAPD)이 어떻게 변경되는지에 중점적으로 알아보며 새로 변경된 지침에 따라 소아치과의의 진정요 법의 진료와 교육도 영향을 미칠 것이다. 이러한 영향으로 다양한 약 투여방법(Alternative routes of d drug administration)과 다양한 약물의 선택에 대해 알아 보기로 한다.
