  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a clear definition of the health literacy for patients with cardiovascular disease by analyzing the dimensions and properties using Hybrid concept analysis. Methods: The concept of health literacy of patients with cardiovascular disease was analyzed according to the cyclic process of theoretical phase-field work phase-final analysis phase presented in the Hybrid model. We reviewed 26 literatures and conducted in-depth interviews with 13 patients with cardiovascular disease. Results: The concept of health literacy in cardiovascular patients is derived from two dimensions and five attributes. Literacy skills, health information search ability and health information utilization skills were derived as attributes in the individual functional dimension, while active communication with the medical team and utilization of health information support resources were derived at the interrelational dimension. It is defined as the individualized and integrated ability of an individual to explore and utilize the various health information needed to make appropriate health decisions during the chronic course after diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, to communicate proactively with medical staffs and to utilize support resources. Conclusion: This study will contribute to the development and related research of health literacy measurement tools that can be used in cardiovascular nursing practice based on the attributes and indicators of health literacy for patients with cardiovascular disease.

  • Purpose: The goal of this study was to define and clarify the concept of "self management" of children with chronic diseases. Methods: For analyzing the concept of self management, this study used the hybrid model. This study involved in-depth interviewing nine children with chronic disease. Results: The concept of self management of children with chronic disease can be categorized with three dimensions: internal, environmental, and behavioral aspects. Besides, five attributes and thirteen indicators were analyzed. The concept of self management of children with chronic disease can be expressed as a kind of process; a) re-established yourself (internal dimension), b) assistance by the surrounded (environmental dimension), and c) positive health management behavior with self control of daily life (behavioral dimension). Conclusion: The self management is important for children with chronic disease to control their disease for long time. The attributes and indicators drawn by this study could be used for tool development and useful resources of self management competence in children with chronic disease.

  • Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a comorbidity of COVID-19; therefore, routine early diagnosis is crucial. A large number of examination attributes in the context of diagnosing CHD is a distinct obstacle during the pandemic when the number of health service users is significant. The development of a precise machine learning model for diagnosis with a minimum number of examination attributes can allow examinations and healthcare actions to be undertaken quickly. This study proposes a CHD diagnosis model based on feature selection, data balancing, and ensemble-based classification methods. In the feature selection stage, a hybrid SVM-GA combined with fast correlation-based filter (FCBF) is used. The proposed system achieved an accuracy of 94.60% and area under the curve (AUC) of 97.5% when tested on the z-Alizadeh Sani dataset and used only 8 of 54 inspection attributes. In terms of performance, the proposed model can be placed in the very good category.

  • The paper proposed the DRCS(Disease Rule Creation Scheme) which generates the disease rules for efficient disease management in Healthcare system. The DRCS uses basically Rough Set Theory and computes support between each attributes and decision attributes. It creates the disease rules that judges disease after it removes the attribute which is the lowest support. Therefore, it reduces the number of disease rules and improves the exactness, compared with C4.5 algorithm.

  • In this study, consumers' perception and consumption behavior of blended tea were investigated. Also, consumer perception of Siberian chrysanthemum, consumption behavior, and awareness of efficacy were investigated. As a result of the survey, it was confirmed that it was necessary to develop a blended tea with taste and flavor characteristics that consumers prefer, having the capability of relieving stress, and preventing cold or respiratory disease. In addition, the degree of recognition of Siberian chrysanthemum was very low, and the recognition of the efficacy appeared in the order of 'cold relief' and 'respiratory disease relief'. Factor analysis results, safety attributes, health attributes, product attributes, marketing attributes, and sensory attributes were factorized into five factors, and after analysis, it was concluded that the sensory attributes of taste and aftertaste were considered the most important. Consumers surveyed appeared to consume blended tea for 'relieving mood or stress relief', to enjoy the taste, and to prevent cold or respiratory diseases. Siberian chrysanthemum displays efficacy in cold relief and relief of respiratory diseases. Therefore, developing Siberian chrysanthemum as a blended tea could be a practical application that can expand the range of its use, making it more popular and increase its commercial applications.

  • According to the World Health Organization, the top 10 causes of death worldwide include heart disease. Heart diseases include coronary disease, which induces acute myocardial infarction. Ticagrelor drugs are being used to treat acute alliances, but it has become difficult to breathe due to the drugs. In a related study, Tobias predicted that uric acid causes acute respiratory distress independently of other factors, including BNP. And in the Ahmad study, serum uric acid numbers were related to the left ventricle depending on the level of uric acid. Experimental data are data used after 155 patients who received coronary intervention took ticagrelor. The research methods were leveraged by gradient decent algorithm and linear regression. In order to avoid overfitting in the experiment, training data and test data were separated into 70 and 30 percent respectively. The experimental results lacked the predictability of other attributes except DT in the correlation coefficient and crystal coefficient. However, all attributes related to dyspnea other than DT are determined to be related to causing relaxation of the heart in the left ventricle. Therefore, the attribute causing dyspnea is determined to be an attribute causing relaxation of the heart of the DT and left ventricle.

  • The purpose of this study is to contribute to evidence-based nursing care for patients with chronic conditions by understanding the attributes of the health motivation concept for their health-related behaviors. Fourteen academic journals and research papers on the health-related motivation of chronically ill patients were selected according to the conceptual analysis stages of Walker and Avant, and the concept was analyzed through additional literature review. The following three factors were extracted as the attributes of health motivation of chronically ill patients: first, psychological needs for healthy behavior; second, the multidimensional state considering personal characteristics; and third, emotional strengths that can change and induce behavioral changes. Given the antecedents, attributes, and outcomes analyzed in this study, it is anticipated that the evidence-based systematic management of chronically ill patients will be possible through the application of a nursing intervention program that increases health motivation

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to define and clarify the concept of 'equilibrium' in community-dwelling elderly persons with chronic diseases. Methods: A hybrid model was used for development of the concept of equilibrium. The model included a field study conducted in Seoul, Korea. Participants in this study included 12 elderly persons with chronic diseases who were taking medicine regularly. Results: The concept of equilibrium was found to be a complex phenomenon having meaning in two dimensions: the family-friendly and social relation-oriented dimensions. Four attributes and nine indicators were defined. Conclusion: Equilibrium was defined as the state of having health recognition, will power, and motive power (family-friendly dimension) and having a feeling of participation (social relation-oriented). Therefore, nurses who work with elderly persons with chronic disease in the community should be aware of the attributes and indicators of equilibrium in order to enhance the equilibrium of their elderly clients with chronic diseases.
