Emergency room nurses whom exposed to more confused environment, violence, and medical disputes feel anxiety, due to increasing of demands and needs of emergency room services. Emergency room nurse anxiety needs to intervention in order to relieve emergency room nurses from anxiety, because it is an important factor that decreases job skill and satisfaction. In this paper, we examine whether to improve the effect of music intervention on emergency room nurse anxiety through appreciation of music.

Various accidents and injuries are currently occurring in Korea at increasingly high rates. Good quality emergency care service is urgently needed to cope with these various forms of accidents and injuries. In order to develop a sound emergency care system, there need to be a plan to educate and train professionals specifically in emergency care. One solution for the on going problem would be to educate and train emergency clinical nurse specialists. This study on a strategy for curriculum development for emergency clinical nurse specialist was based on the following five content areas, developed from literature related to the curriculum of emergency nursing and emergency care situation : 1. Nurses working in the emergency rooms of three university hospitals were analyzed for six days to identify categories of nursing activities. 2. Two hundreds and eleven nurses working in the emergency rooms of 12 university hospitals were surveyed to identify needs for educational content that should be included in a curriculum for the clinical nurse specialist. 3. Examination of the environment in which emergency management was provided. 4. Identification of characteristics of patients in the emergency room. 5. The role of emergency clinical nurse specialist was identified through literature, recent data, and research materials. The following curriculum was formulated using the above mentioned process. 1. The philosophy of education for emergency clinical nurse specialist was established through a realistic philosophical framework. In this frame, client, environment, health, nursing, and learning have been defined. 2. The purpose of education is framed on individual development, social structure, nursing process and responsibility along with the role and function of the emergency clinical nurse specialist. 3. The central theme was based on human, environment, health and nursing. 4. The elements of structure in the curriculum content were divided to include two major threads, I, e., vertical and horizontal : The vertical thread to consist of the client, life cycle, education, research, leadership and consultation, and the horizontal thread to consist of level of nursing (prevention to rehabilitation), and health to illness based on the health care system developed by Betty Neuman system model. 5. Behavioral objectives for education were structured according to the emergency clinical nurse specialist role and function as a master degree prepared in various emergency settings. 6. The content of the curriculum consisted of three core courses(9 credits), five major courses(15 credits), six elective courses(12 credits) and six prerequisite courses (12 credits). Thus 48 credits are required. Recommendations : 1. To promote tile quality of the emergency care system, the number of emergency professionals, has to be expanded. Further the role and function of the emergency clinical nurse specialist needs to be specified in both the medical law and the Nursing Practice Act. 2. In order to upgrade the qualification of emergency clinical nurse specialists, the course should be given as part of the graduate Program. 3. Certification should be issued through the Korean Nurses Association.

Method: The participants were 191 emergency-room nurses in secondary, tertiary medical center nationally. The data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0 program. Result: First, the total average scores of the degree of the perception and performance by emergencyroom nurses on protection behavior of the consumer health information were $4.24{\pm}0.30$ and $3.51{\pm}0.26$. Second, the degree of the perception and performance on protection behavior of the consumer health information was heavily dependent on the following general characteristics of the participants: age, nurse position, career, and education experience on protection behavior of the consumer health information. Third, there was a positive correlation between the degree of perception and performance about the protection behavior of the consumer health information.

When a patient did emergency call, only the name of the patient and a hospital room are shown to nurse's terminal. So, it's so difficult that a nurse looks for the location of the patient. Therefore we have much time about search patient when a patient does emergency call at the other places of their hospital room. This paper proposed optimal repeater's location using SOFM and patient's location estimation using repeater's location information and RSSI database. We performed simulations on searching patient's location using location estimation algorithm.

Purpose: This study was a descriptive correlation research to identify the relationships between nursing performance, compassion fatigue, and job stress in emergency room nurses and to provide basic data on reducing job stress in emergency room nurses. Methods: For the research, this study collected data from August 4 to September 26 with 133 nurses who worked at emergency rooms at 3 general hospitals in Gyeonggi-do with 500 beds, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient with the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Correlation analysis between nursing performance, compassion fatigue, and job stress demonstrated that the job stress had a significant positive correlation with compassion fatigue and nursing performance. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant correlation between compassion fatigue and nursing performance. Conclusion: The study results showed that the emergency room nurse experienced job stress due to intensive compassion fatigue and nursing performance. Thus, it is necessary to develop intervention programs to reduce job stress in emergency room nurses by alleviating compassion stress and having moderate level of nursing performance.
