  • Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between stress and therapeutic compliance in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods: The subject (N=145) was a systemic lupus erythematosus patient who visited the D Hospital in B city. Data collection was conducted from January 2016 to August 2016. Twenty-five resilience measurement tools, 20 stress measurement tools, 39 therapeutic compliance measurement tools used to measure resilience, stress and therapeutic compliance levels. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, 3-step regression analysis of Baron and Kenny, and Sobel test in SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between stress and therapeutic compliance, a significant negative correlation between stress and resilience, and significant positive correlation between resilience and therapeutic compliance. Resilience showed a direct effect on therapeutic compliance through stress as a mediating variable. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop appropriate resilience enhancement program to improve therapeutic compliance with systemic lupus erythematosus.

  • This study is to define the hemodiafiltration treatment compliance indicators and discriminate standards for hemodiafiltration patients and development of hemodiafiltration treatment compliance measurement-convergent form. Date was collected from 300 on-line hemodiafiltration patients. To verify the hemodiafiltration treatment compliance indicators and discriminate standards, used construct validity and content validity by clinical professional group. Discriminant ability of 3 indicators-interdialysis weight gain rate(IWGR), serum phosphate level, rate of self change of total hemodiafiltration treatment time(SCR-HEFTT)- is 95.6%(wilks ramda=.256, p=.002). And hemodiafiltration treatment compliance measurement-convergent form has 91.7% discriminant accuracy. Hemodiafiltration treatment compliance is important that nurses can aware pre-stage of complication and give appropriate nursing intervention. Also this measurement can be used for foundation data of the nursing intervention development that prevent dialysis patient's complication.

  • In this paper, the design of a novel 6-axis compliance device with force/torque sensing capability and the experiment results on force measurement are presented. Unlike the traditional control methods using a force/torque sensor with very limited compliance, the force control method employs a compliant device to provide sufficient compliance between an industrial robot and a rigid environment for more stable force control. The proposed compliance device is designed to have a diagonal stiffness matrix at the tip and uses strain gauge measurement which is robust to dust and oil. The measurement circuit is designed with low-cost IC chips however the force resolution is 0.04N.

  • Compared to other variables being considered in therapeutics, patient compliance has long been given minor attention although it affects every aspect of medical care; Limited methodology of compliance measurement, in particular, has hampered major progress in research, and pre-conceptions have been reiterated. However, there is a recent surge in interest derived from new data revealed by reliable methods, i.g. continuous medication (compliance) monitoring. The visualization of dynamics in drug regimen compliance over time offers unique opportunities, both to scientific drug evaluation and therapeutics in medical practice. New perspectives related to the descriptive and explanatory side of the problem are outlined by giving examples from various therapeutic fields.

  • Particulate matter exposure leva1 of welders and grinding workers was evaluated in Banwol and Changwon industry complexes. Full period single sample and full period consecutive samples were collected with personal air samplers attached to workers. Compliance difference with 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) was compared by Korean strategy and the classification system recommended by OHSA for employee exposure to particulates. And difference of compliance was compared according to precision of measurement and analysis (total precision). Compliance rate was depended on the total precision, therefore, quality control of measurement and analysis was important.

  • Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether working environment measurement institutions(WEMIs) are conducting safety and health education, risk assessment, and oversight of special management materials, and whether working environment measurement and special medical examinations are being conducted as prescribed in the Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA). Methods: In of February 2021, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed to 33 WMEIs registered with the Ministry of Employment and Labor(MoEL) in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do Province. The responses were collected and then analyzed. Results: The findings show that 5 WEMIs(15%) complied fully with OSHA. Risk assessment was conducted by 13 WMEIs(39%) and safety education by 11 WMEIs(33%). Eighteen WMEIs(55%) conducted working environment measurement, and 29 WMEIs(88%) conducted special medical examinations. The implementation rate of the risk assessment in the health industry(85%) was higher than the one in the special technology industry(11%)(p<0.05). The implementation rate of the special medical examination in the examiners(54%) was not as high as the one in the analysts(91%)(p<0.05). Conclusions: The MoEL needs to check whether basic OSHA requirements are being observed during regular inspections by WEMIs. These findings indicate that it is necessary to prepare a plan to improve the rate of compliance with OSHA regulations.

  • Compliance of joints must be considered when we analyze dynamics of a multi-body system. If the virtual model for CAE(computer aided engineering) analysis does not consider compliance, the result of CAE analysis can be very different from the actual experimental result. Especially in a biped walking robot, the robot may lose walking stability due to the compliance in joints of a walking robot. This paper proposed a method applying a compliance of joints in the biped walking robot to a virtual model. Also, through the 3-D displacement measurement using a laser tracker, it was demonstrated that the virtual model considering the joint compliance could effectively simulate the nonlinear motion of the real model.

  • In this study, we try to estimate vascular compliance for management vascular disease. Because It is known the vascular compliance represents the state of the blood vessels. In general, the vascular compliance is estimated using an acceleration photoplethymogram from measured by photoplethymogram-based. The acceleration photoplethymogram is come from second derivative of photoplethymogram. By using the acceleration photoplethymogram, we can estimating vascular compliance, vascular age, vascular state. In this study, for measuring acceleration photoplethymogram we have developed a measurement device having analog filters. It has the advantage of miniaturization, low-power because it is simpler than digital filters. Using the developed device, we have estimated vascular compliance and tested the reliability of our device compare with conventional device having digital filters. As a result.

  • Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify knowledge, health belief and compliance in patients with hypertension and to identify the most important predictors for compliance of hypertensive patient. Method: The participants in this study were 117 patients who were receiving treatment for hypertension at E. university hospital or one of three local clinics in D-city. Data were collected using a knowledge measurement instrument, health belief scale, and an instrument on compliance. Collected data were analyzed using $X^2$ test, ANOVA, multiple linear regression with PASW statistics 18.0 program. Results: There were statistically significantly positive correlations between knowledge of hypertension and health belief, health belief and compliance. But there was no correlation between knowledge of hypertension and compliance. In the multiple regression analysis, perceived barriers, perceived severity, perceived benefits were significant predictors to explain compliance and accounted for 54.1% of the variance in compliance. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that health belief and compliance are significantly strongly correlated. Thus it is suggested that nursing interventions to improve compliance should include nursing care plans to increase health belief, perceived severity, perceived benefit and to decrease perceived barrier.
