  • The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical sedation effect of chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination, midazolam, triazolam when young children were sedated for dental treatment. The uncooperative 22 children aged, 25 to 52 months of age(ASA class I) and weighting between 11 and 17kg, participated in the study. Each patient was assigned randomly to receive chloral hydrate(50mg/kg) and hydroxyzine HCl(25mg), midazolam(0.5mg/kg), and triazolam(0.25mg) oral administration : alternative regimens were administered at next appointment. According to rating scale, sleep, crying, movement, and overall behavior response were checked for evaluation of the clinical sedation effect. Pulse rate and oxygen saturation were also measured for monitoring the patients during treatment period by pulse oximeter. The results were as follows: 1. In the evaluation of sedation effect, 90.9% in chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination and midazolam, and 77.3% in triazolam were rated "good" or "very good". 2. Sleep was demonstrated to be statistically significant increase in chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination group. Despite the fact that chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine group was in a deeper state of sleep, all the children were easily aroused. 3. There were no statistically significance among the three regimens with regard to cry ing, movement, overall behavior. 4. The adverse side effect was vomiting in one patient of chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination. There were no clinical sign of respiratory depression.

  • 본 연구에 사용된 Chloral hydrate는 바람직한 치과치료가 불가능한 소아환자의 진정 시 가장 흔히 사용되는 약물이다. 그러나 Chloral hydrate 단독투여 시 진정효과가 불안정하고 오심과 구토 등의 부작용이 나타나는 경우가 있다. 이 경우 약물의 추가투여는 과용량의 위험을 초래할 수 있기에 단독투여시의 부작용을 보완하고 상승효과를 기대하는 목적으로 Hydroxyzine과의 병용투여가 추천된다. 그러므로 각기 다른 용량의 Hydroxyzine을 병용 투여하여 각각의 진정효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 본 실험에서 Chloral hydrate와 Hydroxyzine의 병용 투여가 Chloral hydrate 단독투여 시보다 양호한 결과를 나타냈고, 이중 2mg/kg의 Hydroxyzine용량(III군)이 소아 환자를 위한 진정요법의 바람직한 용량으로 평가되었다.

  • 연구목적 : 우울증 환자의 사회적 인지내용은 우울증을 치료하는 과정에서 치료목표가 될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 치료방법을 결정하는 초석이 된다. 또한 환자의 증상이 악화될 것인지 또는 재발할 것인지를 예측할 수 있는 좋은 지표이기도 하다. 그러나 우울증의 증상들을 평가하기 위한 척도와는 달리 아직 우리나라에서 사회적응성을 평가하기 위한 척도는 아직 소개된 바 없다. 이에 Bosc 등이 개발하였고, 유용성에 대해 이미 인정되어 있는 Social Adaptation Self-rating Scale(SASS)를 한국어로 번안한 척도에 대하여 신뢰도 및 타당도를 검증하였다. 방법 : SASS를 한국어로 번안하여 총 21문항으로 구성된 한국어판 사회적응 자기평가척도를 작성한 후 신체적, 정신적으로 건강한 정상인 291명과 우울증 환자 40명을 대상으로 시행하였다. 1) 한국어판 SASS의 신뢰도 검증결과 대상자 전원에 대한 Cronbach $\alpha$계수는 0.790. Spearman-Brown 반분신뢰도는 0.782(Guttman split-half=0.78) 이었다. 정상인 집단의 경우 Cronbach $\alpha$계수는 0.734. Spearman-Brown 반분 신뢰도는 0.619(Guttman split-ha1f=0.7318)였으며, 우울증 집단의 Cronbach $\alpha$계수는 0.8852. Spearman-Brown 반분신뢰도는 0.8852(Guttman split-half=0.8548) 이었다. 정상인 집단에서 45명을 대상으로 2주 간격으로 시행한 검사 재검사 신뢰도 검증결과는 r=0.653(p<0.01)으로서 비교적 시간적 안정성을 보였다. 2) 집단간 SASS 및 Purpsoe in Life(PIL) 검사 점수 차이의 검증에서 정상인집단의 SASS 총점 평균은 $40.12{\pm}5.27$, PIL 총점 평균은 $98.41{\pm}14.02$였고, 우울증 집단은 각각 $30.12{\pm}10.04$, $75.70{\pm}23.53$이였다. 두 점수 모두 우울증 집단에서 통계적으로 유의미하게 낮은 점수를 보였다(p<0.0l). SASS의 각 문항별 접수는 문항5, 문항 15, 문항 16, 문항 19를 제외하고 모든 항목에서 정상인 집단이 통계적으로 의미 있게 높은 점수를 나타냈다(p<0.0l). 3) 정상인 집단에서 SASS와 PIL간의 상관관계는 r=0.510으로서 통계적으로 의미 있는 상관관계를 나타냈다(p<0.0l). 우울증 집단의 경우 유병기간의 평균은 $52.17{\pm}83.86$개월로서 SASS, PIL, Beck's Depression Inventry(BDI) 및 우울증 이병기간과의 상관관계에서 SASS와 PIL는 정상인 집단과 마찬가지로 정적인(positive) 상관관계를 나타냈으나(r=.671), SASS와 BDI(r= -.609), PIL과 BDI(r= - .621) 척도간의 상관은 모두 통계적으로 의미 있는 부적인(negative) 상관을 나타내었다(p<0.01). 그러나 우울증의 이병기간과 SASS, PIL, BDI 척도간의 상관은 통계적으로 유의미한 상관을 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 4) SASS의 요인분석결과 정상인 집단의 경우 요인 1은 '사회활동'을 나타냈고, 요인 2는 '대인관계에 대한 적극성', 요인 3은 '자신감'을 나타냈다. 요인 4는 '외모의 중요성', 요인 5는 사회적응의 방법으로서 지적인 탐구'를 나타냈으며, 요인 6은 '사회활동에 대한 참여욕구'를 나타냈다. 우울증 집단에서는 요인 1에 SASS의 거의 모든 문항들이 해당되어 요인 1에 의한 단일 구조를 시사하였다. 요인 2는 '취미나 레저활동 욕구'가 관계되었다. 요인 3은 '가족 지향성', 요인 4, 5, 6은 '직업에 대한 흥미', '대인관계 추구', '의사소통 욕구'를 포함하고 있어 우울증 환자들이 사회적응상 가장 핵심적 문제들과 관계를 나타내었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과들로 보아 한국어판 SASS는 우울증의 사회적응성을 평가하기 위해 신뢰할 수 있고 타당한 척도라고 사료된다.

  • The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of the structured information on the sleep amount of the patients undergoing open heart surgery. This study has specifically addressed to the Following two basic research questions: (1) Would the structed in formation influence in the reduction of sleep disturbance related to anxiety and Physical stress before and after the operation? and (2) that would be the effects of the structured information on the level of preoperative state anxiety, the hormonal change, and the degree of behavioral change in the patients undergoing an open heart surgery? A Quasi-experimental research was designed to answer these questions with one experimental group and one control group. Subjects in both groups were matched as closely as possible to avoid the effect of the differences inherent to the group characteristics, Baseline data were also. collected on both groups for 7 days prior to the experiment and found that subjects in both groups had comparable sleep patterns, trait anxiety, hormonal levels and behavioral level. A structured information as an experimental input was given to the subjects in the experimental group only. Data were collected and compared between the experimental group and the control group on the sleep amount of the consecutive pre and post operative days, on preoperative state anxiety level, and on hormonal and behavioral changes. To test the effectiveness of the structured information, two main hypotheses and three sub-hypotheses were formulated as follows; Main hypothesis 1: Experimental group which received structured information will have more sleep amount than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Main hypothesis 2: Experimental group with structured information will have more sleep, amount than control group without structured information during the week following the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 1: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the level of State anxiety than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Sub-hypothesis 2 : Experimental group with structured information will have lower hormonal level than control group without stuctured information on the 5th day after the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 3: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the behavioral change level than control group without structured information during the week after the open heart surgery. The research was conducted in a national university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The 53 Subjects who participated in the study were systematically divided into experimental group and control group which was decided by random sampling method. Among 53 subjects, 26 were placed in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Instruments; (1) Structed information: Structured information as an independent variable was constructed by the researcher on the basis of Roy's adaptation model consisting of physiologic needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence needs as related to the sleep and of operational procedures. (2) Sleep amount measure: Sleep amount as main dependent variable was measured by trained nurses through observation on the basis of the established criteria, such as closed or open eyes, regular or irregular respiration, body movement, posture, responses to the light and question, facial expressions and self report after sleep. (3) State anxiety measure: State Anxiety as a sub-dependent variable was measured by Spi-elberger's STAI Anxiety scale, (4) Hormornal change measure: Hormone as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the cortisol level in plasma. (5) Behavior change measure: Behavior as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the Behavior and Mood Rating Scale by Wyatt. The data were collected over a period of four months, from June to October 1981, after the pretest period of two months. For the analysis of the data and test for the hypotheses, the t-test with mean differences and analysis of covariance was used. The result of the test for instruments show as follows: (1) STAI measurement for trait and state anxiety as analyzed by Cronbachs alpha coefficient analysis for item analysis and reliability showed the reliability level at r= .90 r= .91 respectively. (2) Behavior and Mood Rating Scale measurement was analyzed by means of Principal Component Analysis technique. Seven factors retained were anger, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, bizarre behavior, suspicious behavior and emotional withdrawal. Cumulative percentage of each factor was 71.3%. The result of the test for hypotheses show as follows; (1) Main hypothesis, was not supported. The experimental group has 282 minutes of sleep as compared to the 255 minutes of sleep by the control group. Thus the sleep amount was higher in experimental group than in control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (2) Main hypothesis 2 was not supported. The mean sleep amount of the experimental group and control group were 297 minutes and 278 minutes respectively Therefore, the experimental group had more sleep amount as compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. Thus, the main hypothesis 2 was not supported. (3) Sub-hypothesis 1 was not supported. The mean state anxiety of the experimental group and control group were 42.3, 43.9 in scores. Thus, the experimental group had slightly lower state anxiety level than control group, howe-ver, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (4) Sub-hypothesis 2 was not supported. . The mean hormonal level of the experimental group and control group were 338 ㎍ and 440 ㎍ respectively. Thus, the experimental group showed decreased hormonal level than the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (5) Sub-hypothesis 3 was supported. The mean behavioral level of the experimental group and control group were 29.60 and 32.00 respectively in score. Thus, the experimental group showed lower behavioral change level than the control group. The difference was statistically significant at .05 level. In summary, the structured information did not influence the sleep amount, state anxiety or hormonal level of the subjects undergoing an open heart surgery at a statistically significant level, however, it showed a definite trends in their relationships, not least to mention its significant effect shown on behavioral change level. It can further be speculated that a great degree of individual differences in the variables such as sleep amount, state anxiety and fluctuation in hormonal level may partly be responsible for the statistical insensitivity to the experimentation.

  • Objective : This study aimed to investigate the associations of anxiety symptoms with behavior and attention in elementary school children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods : A total of 195 elementary school children with ADHD participated in the study. The Korean Version of ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS) and Behavior Assessment System for Children(BASC-2) were used to measure the children's behavior. Anxiety and attention was assessed with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and ADHD Diagnostic System (ADS), respectively. Children with ADHD were categorized to two groups of ADHD with low anxiety (ADHD-LA) and ADHD with high anxiety (ADHD-HA) according to the total STAIC scores. Scores on K-ARS, BASC-2 and ADS were compared between two groups of ADHD-LA and ADHD-HA. Results : The Scores on K-ARS total and both subscales in ADHD-HA group were significantly higher than ADHD-LA group. Scores on the BASC-2 subscales including hyperactivity, aggression, conduct problem, anxiety, depression, somatization, withdrawal, attention problems were also significantly higher in ADHD-HA group compared to ADHD-LA group. In contrary, scores on ADS subscales were not significantly different between the both groups. Conclusion : Our study identified that the anxiety accompanied with ADHD was associated with the negative behavioral aspect in children with ADHD. However, the performances on attention task were not affected by the anxiety comorbid with ADHD. Future studies to reveal underlying mechanism are needed for further understanding the association with anxiety and ADHD.

  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the sleep patterns of South Korean elementary school children and whether the differences in sleep patterns were related to behavior, emotional problems, attention and academic performance. Method: This study included a community sample of 268 boys and girls from fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade classes in a South Korean metropolitan city from November to December 2010. The primary caregivers completed a questionnaire that included information on demographic characteristics, as well as the Child's Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ), the Korean version of Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL), the Korean version of the Learning Disability Evaluation Scale (K-LDES), the Korean version of ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS) and the Disruptive Behavior Disorder Scale (DBDS). We conducted analyses on the CSHQ individual items, between the subscales, on the total scores and on the K-CBCL, the K-LEDS, the K-ARS and the DBDS. Results: Based on the findings from the CHSQ, the subjects had significantly higher scores for bedtime resistance ($9.18{\pm}2.17$), delayed sleep onset ($1.32{\pm}0.62$), the sleep duration ($4.19{\pm}1.52$) and daytime sleepiness ($14.10{\pm}3.55$) than the scores from the previous reports on children from western countries. The total CHSQ score showed positive correlations to all subscales of the K-CBCL : withdrawn (r=0.24, p<.005), somatic complaint (r=0.24, p<.005) and anxious/depressive (r=0.38, p<.005). Bedtime resistance was associated with oppositional defiant disorder (r=0.15, p<.05) and a positive correlation was demonstrated between sleep anxiety and the oppositional defiant disorder score (r=0.13, p<.05), night waking and the conduct disorder score (r=0.16, p<.05). Delayed sleep onset was related with low performance on the K-LDES with respect to thinking (r=-0.17, p<.05) and mathematical calculation (r=-0.17, p<.05). Conclusion: The results of this study reconfirm Korean children's problematic sleep patterns. Taken together the results provide that the reduced sleep duration and disruption of sleep pattern can have a significant impact on emotion, behavior, performance of learning in children. Further studies concerning more diverse psychosocial factors affecting sleep pattern will be helpful to understanding of the sleep health in Korean children.

  • The purposes of this research are to examine the effects of muscle relaxation to the rheumatoid arthritis patients' physiological, psychological, and social adaptation, and to verify that the technique Is an effective tool for improving the patients' adaptation. This research utilized a qusi-experimental design that compares the pre-experiment measures and the post-experiment measures. The subjects of this study were 37 out-patients who were diagnosed for rheumatoid arthritis in P university hospital and K clinic between September 12, 1993 and November 30, 1993. The experimental group consisted of patients treated on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The control group consisted of patients treated on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday The pre-experimental survey utilized the following tools. The physiological adaptation was measured by a graphic rating scale for pain and activity of daily living. The psychological adaptation was measured by Zung's depression scale and Rosenberg's self-esteem scale : and the social adaptation was measured by Derogatis' psychosocial adjustment scale. The experimental group received muscle relaxation treatment for 15 minutes per day for the period of 2 weeks, the control group received no treatment and had quiet time. The post-experiment measurement was carried out similar to the pre-experiment survey, SPSS $PC^+$ is used to analyze the collected data. The reliabilities of the measurement tools were examined by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients. The homogeneities between the experimental and control groups were tested by t-test and chi-square test, hypotheses were tested by t-test. This research found that the general characteristics between the groups were statistically homogenious. The physiological, psychological, and social adaptation between the groups in the pre-experimental survey were also statistically homogenious. The results of this research can be summarized as follows : 1. Concerning the Physiological adaptation, the experimental group showed a statistically lower pain score than the control group. Thus, muscle relaxation was effective to relieve the pain of rheumatoid arthritis patients (t=-2.95, p=.006). 2. Concerning the psychological adaptation, the experimental group showed a statistically lower depression score than the control group. Thus, muscle relaxation was effective to reduce the patient's depression(t=-4.00, p=.001). 3. Concerning social adaptation, the experimental group showed a statistically higher score for the health maintenance and disease control than the control groups. Thus, muscle relaxation was effective for the health maintenance and disease control (t=2.09, p=.004). This research showed that the muscle relaxation is a nursing intervention that can promote the physiological, psychological and social adaptation of the rheumatoid arthritis patients in terms of short-term and cognitive changes. However, more fundomental changes in behavior and long-term physiology could not be found through such a short-term relaxation treatment.
