Objectives: This study aims to develop a decent sallimyok program and provide basic data which are helpful in improving psychological wellbeing for adults who are exposed to stress and fatigue. Methods: Middle-aged women living in Cheongju, Chungbuk were divided into experimental and control groups (10 people each) through convenience sampling, and a questionnaire survey on psychological wellbeing was distributed to them and collected. For data analysis, IBM/SPSS 20.0 was used. In terms of statistical analysis, a reliability test (Cronbach's ${\alpha}$) was conducted. To test research questions 1 and 2, independent t-test and paired sample t-test were carried out. Results: First, a sallimyok program features meditation (floor-sitting, slow walk), forest therapy, stretching exercise, wrapping-up and sharing feelings. Second, it was confirmed that a sallimyok program has a positive effect on the improvement of psychological wellbeing and the depression for women. Conclusions: The sallimyok program improved participants' psychological wellbeing, which means that it could reduce their anxiety and stress.

Purpose: Abdominal breathing exercises are recommended to activate the breathing muscles and the pelvic floor muscles, as well as to increase postural alignment during exhalation. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of improving abdominal muscle strength on menstrual pain in women in their twenties using abdominal breathing exercises. Method: In this study, 32 female university students were included as the subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups based on the area of menstrual pain: lumbar pain (n=16) and lower abdomen pain (n=16). The abdominal breathing positions were divided into two positions, which included a hook lying position and hip and knee flexions at $90^{\circ}$ in the supine position. Exercises were used to strengthen the abdominal muscles during exhalation. Four sets of the exercises were completed three times a week over the course of eight weeks. The degree of pain was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Muscle thickness was measured using an ultrasound. Result: The thickness of the transverse abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) increased in the lower abdomen pain group. However, thickness of the external oblique (EO) did not increased following abdominal breathing. No significant difference in posture was identified in the lower abdomen group. TrA thickness increased significantly in the lumbar pain group. However, thickness did not increase significantly in the lumbar pain group. In addition, the lumbar pain group experienced no significant effects on posture. IO thickness increased following hip and knee flexions at $90^{\circ}$ in the lumbar pain group. Menstrual pain decreased following intervention in both groups. There was no significant difference in the degree of pain reduction between both groups. Conclusion: As examples of alternative medicine, abdominal breathing exercises may be effective in decreasing menstrual pain.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of applying a defecation encouragement program for patients undergoing total knee replacement arthroplasty (TKRA). Methods: This program was based on the nursing best practice guideline: prevention of constipation in the older adult population by the National Guideline Clearing House (NGC) in 2011, which included fluid intake, bowel training, and abdominal and pelvic floor exercises. A team of one orthopaedic clinical nurse specialist and six orthopaedic nurses with a 10 years of clinical experience applied and assisted patients with the program. Formal counsel was provided by one orthopaedic doctor, one gastroenterologist, and one exercise therapist. Patients who defecated one day prior to or on the day of TKRA surgery were included. Data collected from 72 subjects were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Time until first defecation after surgery was 2.4±1.1 days in experimental group, which was significantly shorter than the 3.5±0.9 days in control group (t=4.28, p<.001). Constipation assessment scale showed significantly lower points (t=2.55, p=.013) in experimental group (1.3±1.2) compared to control group (2.6±2.6). The experimental group and control group were 17.3±7.67 and 23.7±14.43, respectively, and the experimental group used less laxatives (t=2.83, p=.021). Conclusion: A defecation encouragement program was proved to be an appropriate nursing intervention for patients undergoing TKRA. This study confirmed that constipation is a nursing problem that can be sufficiently prevented if nurses are interested and encourage defecation.

The purpose of this study was to compare the muscle activity during a push-up on a suspension sling and a fixed support at the same level. Tests were performed on 15 male subjects. Electromyography using a surface EMG recorded the activity of the triceps, pectoralis major, and internal and external oblique muscles during each push-up. EMG activity was recorded at 0, 45, and 90 degrees of elbow flexion in the push-up position on a suspension sling or a fixed support at the same height above the floor (30 cm). The testing order was selected randomly. The subjects were asked to maintain the push-up position with straight knees, hips, and trunk for 5 seconds at each elbow angle. The mean root mean square (RMS) of EMG activity was calculated. EMG activity was normalized using the maximum voluntary isometric contractιn elicited using a manual muscle testing technique. Two-factor repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the average RMS value of EMG activity for each condition. The EMG activity for the pectoralis major, and internal and external oblique muscles during a push-up on a sling was significantly higher than on a fixed support at all angles of elbow flexion (p<.01). There were significant differences in the EMG activity of the pectoralis major and triceps brachii muscles at difference angles of elbow flexion (p<.05). The pectoralis major muscle had the highest EMG activity at 90 degrees of elbow flexion on both the sling and fixed support. The triceps brachii muscle had the highest EMG activity at 45 degrees of elbow flexion on both the sling and fixed support. The internal and external oblique muscles had the highest EMG activity at 0 degrees of elbow flexion, although the difference with angle of flexion was not significant. These results suggest that to improve proximal and trunk stability and muscle strength, push-ups are more useful when performed on a suspension sling than On a fixed support.

Lumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK) is a subgroup of the flat-back syndrome and is most commonly caused by unique life styles, such as a prolonged crouched posture during agricultural work and performing activities of daily living on the floor. Unfortunately, LDK has been used as a byword for degenerative sagittal imbalance, and this sometimes causes confusion. The aim of this review was to evaluate the exact territory of LDK, and to introduce another appropriate term for degenerative sagittal deformity. Unlike what its name suggests, LDK does not only include sagittal balance disorder of the lumbar spine and kyphosis, but also sagittal balance disorder of the whole spine and little lordosis of the lumbar spine. Moreover, this disease is closely related to the occupation of female farmers and an outdated Asian life style. These reasons necessitate a change in the nomenclature of this disorder to prevent misunderstanding. We suggest the name "primary degenerative sagittal imbalance" (PDSI), which encompasses degenerative sagittal misalignments of unknown origin in the whole spine in older-age patients, and is associated with back muscle wasting. LDK may be regarded as a subgroup of PDSI related to an occupation in agriculture. Conservative treatments such as exercise and physiotherapy are recommended as first-line treatments for patients with PDSI, and surgical treatment is considered only if conservative treatments failed. The measurement of spinopelvic parameters for sagittal balance is important prior to deformity corrective surgery. LDK can be considered a subtype of PDSI that is more likely to occur in female farmers, and hence the use of LDK as a global term for all degenerative sagittal imbalance disorders is better avoided. To avoid confusion, we recommend PDSI as a newer, more accurate diagnostic term instead of LDK.

This study is designed to facilitate the creation of home environment conducive to the family taking care of chronic bed-ridden patients with more effective method. The need for this study has emerged against the background of marked changes in the structure of ailments and causes of death, resulting in the number and plights of chronic bed-ridden patients as well as of a rapid increase in demand for medical care and resulting premature discharge. Keeping these in mind, this study focused on home-wards where the majority of chronic bed-ridden patients are being cared for. Despite. their overriding importance, home-words are less than efficient in caring (or chronic bed-ridden patients. These circumstances require the designing of home-wards that can offer greater comfort to patients and at the same time make things easier for caregivers, on the basis of an overall analysis of patients' life and home - ward situation. According1y this study adopted a Participant Observation Method derived cultural anthropology, Toward this end, 3 patients were chosen as subjects of this study for intensive interviewing and participant observation. In the process of this field re-search efforts were made to collect emprical data, that is, to faithfully record the words of the subjects and their caregivers for analysis and interpretation. The findings of these analyses are as follows. Firstly, the chronic bed-ridden patients are mostly being taken care by close family members. Secondly, a room for the exclusive use of the patient, floor, kitchen, bathroom and multipurpose space were found to be necessary for proper caring of the patient. These spaces were respectively used with a view to 1) accomodating the patient as well as caregivers' activities, 2) keeping general and medical supplies and other appliances for patient's care and drying the patient's washing, 3) preparing and keeping the patient's foods and beverages, 4) keeping the supplies necessary for cleaning the patient's body and treating the patient's eliminations, 5) washing the patient's clothes, underwears and bedclothes. The patient's room in turn is subdivided into six portions in terms of uses : specifically the places for accomodating 1) the patient, 2) medical supplies, 3) medicines, 4) linens St clothes, 5) bedclothes and, 6) diapers. Thirdly, the activities of the caregiver are subdivided into seven key areas : hygiene, exercise, diet, elimination, therapeutic nursing, prevention of sore, and other activities. Each area is further classified into several different activities of caring. These activities we mainly carried out in the patient's room. Fourthly, the supplies for caring the chronic bed-ridden patient is divided into two large domains : medical and general supplies. Finally, three main problems areas were found in this study on the part of caregivers, that is, sore prevention, hygiene problem related frequent urination / defecation, the caregiver's physical, psych ological and emotional burden. In consideration of the aforesaid problem areas, a model home-ward was developed in this study. The newly-developed model has been found to have the following six advantages. Firstly, the time and effort required for maintaining the patient's hygiene are reduced, thus relievins the caregiver's physical and psychological bur-den. Secondly, the patient's hygiene can be maintained in satisfactory conditions, because the patient's eliminations are more easily removed. Thirdly, skin irritations caused by the patient's eliminations were remarkably reduced and so were the patient's sores due to moisture and bacteria. Fourthly, the home-ward have a tilt-table ef-fect thanks to the inclining room floor. This improves the patient's cardiovascular function as well as constantly changes pressed skin areas and thus prevents sores. Fifthly, improved shelf arrangements help make the best use of patient's supplies. Sixthly, the trouble of continuously changing clothes, underwears, diapers & bedclothes is remarkably reduced simply by covering the patient with cotton sheets when laid in bed. This is espected to cut down expenses by reducing the comsumptions of diapers and other disposable supplies.

The case management has been applied to improve the quality of care and the cost-effectiveness in the most health care institutions. In a way of case management, the critical pathway(CP) has been executed in many acute care settings, focused on the diagnoses with high cost, high volume, and high risk. This study was conducted to develop a case management program using CP as an intervention of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis for the surgery of posterolateral fusion, and to find out the effects of the critical pathway on the quality of nursing care, patient satisfaction as an outcome of care, length of stay and medical charge, and nurses' job satisfaction. At the same time, patients' functional states were checked with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Index, to show that the CP would not decrease the patients' function compared to the control group. The subjects were 25 control patients with a usual operation of lumbar fusion and 25 experimental patients with CP. They were all female, aged $50s{\sim}70s$, admitted in the Orthopedic surgery ward of a university hospital. Also nurses on the floor using CP were asked to respond to measurement tool of job satisfaction before and after the application of CP, and compared with other nurses on the different wards. Data were analyzed with t-test for continuous variables and chi-square for non-parametric variables in addition to the reliability test of the measurement tools. The results of this study were as followings: 1. Patients' functional states The differences in Oswestry scores of the experimental and control groups assessed at preoperation and at discharge were not statistically significant. The change in scores of the experimental group measured at preoperation and at discharge was larger than that of the control group, however the difference was not statistically significant. The results indicate that the CP did not decrease the patients' functional status. 2. The quality of nursing care The total of quality of nursing care given to the experimental group was better than that of the control group(P=.000). In addition, the experimental group showed better scores of quality of every item of care than the control group(P=.000 -.004). 3. Patient satisfaction Patients of the experimental group were not more satisfied with general care than the control group. But they were more satisfied with discharge care of 'explanation about medication, body posture, and brace application' and 'explanation about the adjustment of daily living and exercise during recovery'(P= .047, P=.028). 4. Nurses' job satisfaction Nurses working with the CP showed more job satisfaction than before the CP introduction(P=.048). But the control group of nurses on a different floor showed no change in job satisfaction at the same period of time. 5. Length of stay and medical charge The mean length of stay of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group without statistical significance. The charge of medication and treatment of the experimental group were smaller than that of the control group(P=.011, P=.000). The results of the study support that the case management using critical pathway enables to improve the quality of care and job satisfaction, to reduce the medical charge, and consequently to increase satisfaction with care. However, the case management should be instituted focusing on the quality improvement of nursing and the client satisfaction, not just for the purpose of cost-effectiveness of health care facilities.

본 연구는 전북지역 산업체급식소의 정규직과 비정규직 조리종사자 282명을 대상으로 급식소에서의 안전사고, 안전교육 실태 및 안전사고 예방관리의 중요도 및 수행도를 조사하여 산업체급식소의 안전사고 예방을 위한 효율적인 관리방안을 제시하고자 하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자는 정규직 42.2% (119명), 비정규직 57.8% (163명) 이며 96.5%는 여자이었다. 고용형태에 따라서는 연봉수준 (p < 0.001), 직급 (p < 0.001), 평균 연령 (p < 0.001), 급식횟수 (p < 0.001)에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 정규직의 66.4%, 비정규직의 53.4%가 안전사고의 경험이 있으며 (p < 0.05), 사고원인은 본인의 부주의 (53.5%)가 가장 큰 원인이었다. 사고처리는 정규직은 회사부담 (71.6%)이 높으며 비정규직은 산재처리 (44.6%)가 높았다. 안전사고는 정규직은 화상 (48.6%), 절단사고 (31.1%)가 높았으며 비정규직은 미끄러짐 (47.8%)과 화상 (44.6%)의 순으로 차이가 있었다. 사고부위는 주로 손과 팔 (63.3%) 이었다. 정규직의 98.3%, 비정규직의 95.1%가 안전사고 예방을 위한 안전교육을 받았으며, 교육은 주로 영양사 (93.4%)가 실시하나 정규직은 산업안전관리공단 (6.8%)과 협회(2.6%)의 교육도 받고 있었다. 교육 빈도는 정규직의 68.4%가 1회, 23.9%가 2회, 7.7%는 3회 이상의 교육을 받았으나 비정규직은 1회 50.3%, 2회 37.4%, 3회 이상 12,2%로 비정규직의 교육 빈도가 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.05). 교육방법은 주로 강의 (77.2%)로 진행되며, 교육 후 정규직의 37.6%는 별도의 평가가 없으나, 비정규직의 33.5%는 시험, 25.2%는 면담, 12.3%는 실기평가를 실시하고 있었다 (p < 0.05). 교육만족도는 조사대상자의 81.6%가 만족하며 비정규직 (85.2%)이 정규직 (76.9%)보다 더 만족하는 경향을 보였다. 교육 후 정규직의 73.5%, 비정규직의 71.6%만이 실제 작업에 교육내용을 적용하고 있었다. 적용하지 못하는 이유는 업무과중으로 인한 시간부족과 습관적인 작업행태 때문이었다. 산업체급식소의 정규직과 비정규직 조리종사원의 안전사고 예방관리에 대한 정규직과 비정규직의 중요도는 각각 4.26점, 4.15점이며 수행도는 정규직 3.96점, 비정규직 3.94점이었다. 독립표본 t-test로 분석한 결과, 21개의 항목 중 '튀김요리 시 물이 튀지 않게 하며 화상에 주의한다'에서 정규직 (4.43점)이 비정규직 (4.24점)보다 중요도가 유의적으로 높았으나 (p < 0.05), 수행도는 모든 항목에서 정규직과 비정규직간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 대응표본 t-test 분석결과, 정규직의 중요도와 수행도간의 유의적인 차이를 보였다 (p < 0.001). 전체 21개 항목의 중요도와 수행도간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. IPA분석결과, 중요도와 수행도가 높은 A영역 (Doing great)에서 '작업장 바닥의 물, 기름을 청소', '작업장과 통로의 물건 정리', '작업 시 미끄럼방지 안전화 착용', '사용하지 않는 호스는 감아서 정리', '화재위험 있는 전열기 코드 뽑기', '튀김요리 시 화상에 주의하며 조리'는 정규직과 비정규직 모두 해당되었으며, 이외 '물기 있는 손으로 전기시설 관리하지 않기'는 정규직에만 해당되었으며 '야채절단기 사용 시전용방망이 사용', '안전하게 칼 관리'는 비정규직에만 포함되었다. 중요도가 높으나 수행도가 낮은 B영역 (Focus here)에서 '출근 후 환기와 가스누출 확인', '콘센트 안전관리'는 정규직과 비정규직 모두 해당되었으며 이외에 '영양사에게 건강상태 보고' 및 '중량물 취급 시 올바른 자세로 작업'은 정규직에만 '가스차단기 작동확인'은 비정규직에만 포함되었다. 중요도는 낮으나 수행도가 높은 C영역(Overdone)에서 '기계설비 잠금장치 확인'은 정규직과 비정규직 모두에 해당되었으며 이외에 '야채절단기 사용 시 전용방망이 사용', '안전하게 칼 관리'는 정규직에 포함되었으며 '물기 있는 손으로 전기시설 관리하지 않기', '전기기구 연결 확인', '영양사에게 건강상태 보고' 및 '중량물 취급 시 올바른 자세로 작업'은 비정규직에 포함되었다. 중요도와 수행도가 낮은 D영역 (Low priority)에 'MSDS관리', '화학물질 위험표시 인지', '화학물질 취급 전 보호 장갑 등의 장비 착용', '작업 전 스트레칭 실시' 및 '보조도구를 이용하여 안전하게 작업대 높이 조정'이 정규직과 비정규직에 포함되었으며 이외에 정규직에 '전기기구 연결 확인', '가스차단기 작동확인'이 추가되었다. 본 연구결과를 종합하면, 전북지역 산업체급식소에서의 안전교육 실시는 잘 진행되고 있으나 아직도 교육을 받지 못하는 비정규직이 있으므로 이에 대한 경영주 및 영양사의 인식전환이 필요하겠다. 또한 조리종사원들의 안전사고 예방관리에 대한 중요도 인식은 고용형태 간 유의적인 차이 없이 높은 수준이었으나 교육 후 업무과중의 이유로 실제 적용하는 어려움이 있는 점을 볼 때 효율적인 업무관리 및 안전사고 예방을 위한 철저한 감독이 요구된다. 특히, 화학물질에 대한 이해 및 MSDS관리에 대한 조리종사원들의 낮은 중요도 인식과 수행도는 향후 안전교육에서 중요하게 다루어야 하겠다. 향후 정규직과 비정규직 구분에 따른 지원의 차이를 줄이고 소속감을 높여 조리종사원의 책임감과 안전의식을 높여 보다 안전한 급식소환경이 될 수 있는 방안이 요구된다.
