Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experience of adult Korean children who are caregivers for parents institutionalized with dementia. Methods: Participants were fourteen adult children caregivers of elders institutionalized with dementia. Data were collected through in-depth unstructured interviews with individual participants from August to November, 2012. Theoretical sampling was used to the point of theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory Method. Results: From open coding, 67 concepts, 29 sub-categories, and 14 categories were identified. Analysis revealed that the core category of the experience of adult children caring for their parents institutionalized with dementia was 'enduring the role of a prop' consisting of four phases: initial turmoil, exploration, role adjustment, and acclimation. To manage the role of a prop, participants utilized various action/interactional strategies such as overcoming the unfamiliarity, overseeing the nursing home care, and counterbalancing the caring roles. As a result, participants experienced ambivalence towards the existence of parents with dementia, changes in family relationships, altered viewpoint towards nursing homes, and restructuring of life. Conclusion: In-depth understanding of the experience will guide nurses to promote effective interventions in order to better support the Korean family caregivers of parents institutionalized with dementia.

Purpose: To understand the meaning of the lived experience with Person under train (PUT) for train or subway operators. Methods: The study was built on hermeneutic phenomenological themes from individual interviews of present-day train or subway operators in South Korea. Eight participants were selected to participate in the study. All qualitative data were analyzed using the heuristic guides of Van Manen. Results: Four fundamental lifeworld themes and eight sub themes emerged in the findings. The first theme of spatiality had'the place pressed by the darkness' and 'the train drags me there'. The second theme, corporeality had 'a foreboding fear', and 'debris of death that gets stuck in the whole body'. The temporality theme had'distorted time in chaos', and 'memory trapped in time'. Finally the last existential theme of relationality had 'intrapersonal encounter' and 'resentment and guilt'. Conclusion: The four existential lifeworld themes provided a framework for in-depth investigation of the operator's "lived experience." This leads to clear understanding of effects of PUT experience on related individuals. The findings imply that specific active nursing intervention strategies are necessary in order to treat affected train operators, and to prevent further issues in their work and private life.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the role experience of preceptor nurses in general hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from 10 experienced preceptor nurses through in-depth interviews about their experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience as a preceptor in the process of role adaptation?" Qualitative data from field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss & Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The core category of experience in the process of role adaptation as a preceptor nurse was identified as 'being responsible to teach from beginning to end'. The participants identified five interactional strategies; 'abruptly having to take the role as a preceptor unwilling', 'difficulties in field training with variable situations', 'preceptor and new nurse with love and hate relationships', 'bring up preceptee as a child', 'redefining the concept of preceptor'. Conclusion: The results of this study provide useful information for understanding the role of preceptor nurses in general hospital who have to teach new nurses with patience and responsibility. It will be needed to establishment of preceptor's role and educational standards, and policy for their rewards by nurse manager. Additionally, making cooperative educational climate in nursing ward is important for teaching new nurse.

돌봄 서비스를 수행하는 독거노인생활관리사는 사회안전망 서비스 구축에서 매우 중요한 역할을 감당하고 있다. 그러나 독거노인생활관리사들이 독거노인들을 관리하면서 나타나는 역할갈등이나 그들의 욕구와 불만들을 직접적으로 받아들이고 해결하는 상황에서 받고 있는 외상 후 스트레스나 압박감이 높다는 실천 현장의 목소리가 많다. 따라서 독거노인 돌봄 서비스의 성공적 정착을 위해서라도 독거노인생활관리사의 심리적 소진에 대한 개입 필요성 연구는 중요할 수밖에 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울 지역 독거노인생활관리사를 대상으로 외상 경험 및 외상 후 스트레스에 대한 장애현황 실태를 파악하여 이를 바탕으로 개선 방안을 마련하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 연구방법은 서울 지역 독거노인생활관리사를 대상으로 외상경험 여부, 외상경험 유형, 외상 후 스트레스 진단, 외상경험에 대한 대처 실태 등을 자기기입식 설문조사 방식으로 진행하였다. 연구결과 응답자 중 186명 (37.57%)이 부분 혹은 완전 외상 후 스트레스 증상을 갖고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 그럼에도 이에 대한 대처 실태는 매우 열악한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 다음과 같이 몇 가지 의미 있는 대안들을 제시하였다. 첫째, 외상 후 스트레스 장애를 갖고 있는 독거노인생활관리사를 발견하고 이들을 지속적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 마련하여야 한다. 둘째, 외상 경험 및 외상 후 스트레스 관리에 대한 교육을 활성화해야 한다. 셋째, 외상 경험을 하였거나 외상 후 스트레스 장애군으로 진단을 받은 독거노인생활관리사를 위한 지원 체계 구축이 시급하다. 넷째, 전문적인 지식과 기술을 가진 전문가 양성 및 배치가 필요하다. 다섯째, 의료기관과의 네트워크를 구축하여 신속한 진단과 전문적인 치료를 받을 수 있도록 해야 한다.

This study was designed to identify nursing students' attitudes toward life through a Q-methodology. A Q-sample was formed through a review of the literature and interviews(n＝160)l The final Q-sample consisted of 37 statements out of an initial 100 statements after consultation with an expert panel and pilot testing. The P-sample consisted of 14 university nursing students and 27 junior college nursing students, which was selected by convenience sampling method. Data were analyzed by the Q-analysis method. The correlation between type 2 and type 3 was relatively high (r＝0.539) ; that between type 1 and type 3 was lowest (r＝0.014). The first type of attitude was the “rational utilitarian” type. Students in this type valued life relative to the quality of life. They agreed with euthanasia and artificial abortion if the quality of life was threatened. The criteria for their judgement were scientific knowledge and rationality. The second type of attitude was the “Christian deontologic” type. These students appreciated the sanctity of life according to Christian dogma. They disagreed with euthanasia and artficial abortion. And they disagreed strongly that life should be created by scientific development, because only God creates life. The third type of attitude was the “unconditional deontologic” type. These students agreed with the sanctity of life, not from Christian belief but from belief in the sanctity of life. The final type of attitude was the “prima facie(conditional) deonologic” type. These students appreciated the value of life and humanity. They expressed concern for others' life and suffering. They do not want to afflict others with their own miseries. This group showed a dual value system toward themselves and others. So they experience conflict between their concern for their on and others' conditions. These nursing students' values may have been influenced by their clinical experience in hospitals and other nursing fields. Through this study, we may realize the importance of education in nursing ethics for discussion of ethical conflicts and to support ethical nursing practice.
