Purpose: This study was conducted in order to identify the brain injury patients's disability degree and educational needs of family caregivers. Methods: A convenience sample of 94 families with brain injury patients, who have been receiving treatment at the neurological intensive care unit and neurosurgery ward, were used. Data was collected with a self-report questionnaire from September 5 to November 28, 2011, and was analyzed using SAS program. Results: 'Defecation/urination' disability was the highest score of patient's physical disability and the next ranking was 'paralysis'. 'Memory impairment' disability was the highest score of patient's cognitive disability, and the next ranking was 'personality changes'. Overall, educational needs of family caregivers scored 4.15 out of the perfect score of 5. The factor, which scored highest, was 'information related with disease'. In addition, educational needs of family caregivers were positively related with patient's degree of. Conclusion: Educational needs of family caregivers are distinct, according to the disability degree of brain injury patient. Therefore, the study suggests the development of individualized educational program for family with brain injury patient.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to look into back pain, pain disability, labour pain, and related areas of pain experienced by postpartum women. Method: A survey about pain including a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry pain disability, and pain drawing was used in a descriptive research method on 98 women 2-3 days after delivery. Result: 57.1% of those surveyed reported experiencing back pain before pregnancy. 75.5% reported experiencing back pain during pregnancy. The average starting time of back pain for pregnant women was 2.9 months into pregnancy. 48.8% reported the most severe back pain in the last trimester of pregnancy, while most women complained of left and right pubic pain and lumbar area pain during pregnancy. Statistical relations were calculated and menstrual symptoms (F=5.938, p=0.004), back pain prior to pregnancy (F=4.714, p=0.000), back pain during pregnancy (F=-3.429, p=0.001), and back pain disability prior to pregnancy (F=-1.994). Conclusion: There is a relation in postpartum women's back pain between back pain prior to pregnancy and back pain during pregnancy. Pelvic examinations early in pregnancy can determine if back pain will change for the worse or relapse. Therefore, the application of a pain relieving nursing intervention is needed.

본 연구는 장애인의 주관적인 건강수준이 일상생활만족도에 미치는 영향과 장애인의 심리적 기제인 우울과 장애수용의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 장애인의 주관적인 건강수준과 생활만족도와의 관계를 밝힘으로써 구체적인 실천적 개입 전략과, 정책적 제도방안 수립의 기초자료로 활용하는데 있다. 본 연구는 한국장애인고용공단 고용개발원에서 조사한 제4차 장애인고용패널조사(Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled, PSED)의 원자료(raw data)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 장애인의 주관적 건강수준, 장애수용, 우울, 일상생활만족도 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 일상생활만족도는 주관적 건강수준과 장애수용과는 정의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 우울과는 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 주관적 건강수준이 일상생활 만족도에 미치는 영향과 장애수용 및 우울의 매개효과에서는 주관적 건강수준은 일상생활만족도에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치며, 이들 간의 관계에서 장애수용과 우울은 부분매개효과가 있음이 확인되었다. 이런 결과를 토대로 장애인의 일상생활만족을 위하여 실천적 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.

이 논문은 건강수명의 개념을 도입하여 우리 나라 국민의 건강수준이 어느 정도인지를 규명하고 있다. 평균수명으로는 수명의 양적인 측정은 가능하지만 수명의 질적인 측면의 측정이 배제되기 때문에 일부 선진국가에서는 국민들의 사망과 상병상태를 결합한 활동장애가 없는 건강여명(Disability-Free Life Expectancy)을 산출하여 이용하고 있다. 우리 나라 국민의 활동장애가 없는 건강여명을 산출하기 위하여 사망자료로는 1989년도 간이생명표를 이용하였으며 상병자료로는 대표성을 고려하여 표본의 크기가 가장 큰 1989년 국민건강조사를 이용하였다. 주요 결과를 보면 우리 나라 남자의 경우 0세에서 활동장애가 없는 건강여명은 60.48년이었으며, 여자는 남자보다 3.2년이 더 높은 63.80년으로 나타났다. 연구자에 따라 활동장애에 대한 정의나 측정방법이 다르기 때문에 국제간 정확한 비교는 곤란하지만 우리 나라의 활동장애여명을 외국과 비교해보면 단기이환으로 인한 활동장애여명은 비교적 높지만, 장기이환으로 인한 활동장애여명은 선진국에 비해 낮은 수준이라 할 수 있다. 앞으로 우리 나라에서도 국민의 건강수준을 질적 양적 측면에서 정확히 평가하기 위하여 필요한 기초자료가 주기적으로 생산되어야 할 것이다.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between oral health perception and oral health-related quality of life-14(OHIP-14) in a geriatric hospital. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 230 elderly people in a long-term care institution. The questionnaire was consisted of items on general characteristics, oral health perception and OHIP-14. Except incomplete answers, 226 data were analyzed statistically with one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and post hoc Tukey test and ANOVA when significance was set at 0.05. Results: The OHIP-14 showed a negative linear relationship(p<0.01) of r=-0.272 with the oral health perception. Among the subgroups of the OHIP-14, quantitative linear relationship(p<0.01) was shown in functional limitation(r=0.822), physical pain(r=0.825), psychological discomfort(r=0.568), physical disability(r=0.895), psychological disability(r=0.652), social disability(r=0.804) and handicap(r=0.818). Conclusions: In order to improve the oral health perception and OHIP-14 in a geriatric hospital, it is necessary to develop continuously a variety of oral health education and systematic oral health promotion program.

Background: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, created by the World Health Organization, provides a theoretical framework that can be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders. Objects: Our research purposed to ascertain the relationship between structure/function, activity, and participation domain variables of the ICF and pain, pain-associated disability, activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP). Methods: Two-hundred patients with chronic LBP (mean age: 35.5 ± 8.8 years, females, n = 40) were recruited from hospital and community settings. We evaluated the body structure/function domain variable using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Roland-Morris disability (RMD) questionnaire. To evaluate the activity domain variable, we used the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBDS). For clinical outcome measures, we used Short-form 12 (SF-12). Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to ascertain the relationships among the variables (p < 0.05). All the participants with LBP received 30 minutes of conventional physical therapy 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Results: There were significant correlations between the body structure/function domain (NPRS and RMD questionnaire), activity domain (ODI and QBDS), and participation domain variables (SF-12), rending from pre-intervention (r = -0.723 to 0.783) and postintervention (r = -0.742 to 0.757, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The identification of a significant difference between these domain variables point to important relationships between pain, disability, performance of ADL, and quality in participants with LBP.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to observe the changes of the pain, fatigue, perceived health status, disability in ADL, and depression after Tai Chi for arthritis. Method: The subjects were 19 osteoarthritis women enrolled at one primary health care post. They have agreed to participate in this study, and participated in the 12-week Tai Chi program from Dec. 2006 to Mar. 2007, and all the measurement processes in right after, 2 months later, and 4 months later after Tai Chi program. The measurement tools of this study were all self-reported questionnaires such as Numerical Rating Scale (0-100) for pain, fatigue, and perceived health status, Korean-WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis) Index for joint stiffness, Korean Health Assessment Questionnaire, and CES-Depression scale. Results: The repeated measure ANOVA revealed the significant differences on pain among the right after, 2 months later, and 4 months later the program. Especially 2 months later after program, pain was significantly increased than right after by t-test. There were no significant differences on fatigue, perceived health status, disability in ADL, and depression. Conclusion: Pain was increased after Tai Chi for arthritis program, but fatigue, perceived health status, disability in ADL, and depression were not changed until 4 months after Tai Chi program.
