A questionaire for this study was item Kikert type 5 point scale, developed on the basis of previous literature and researcher's clinical experience and the reliability of the used instruments was α=.97. t-test, and ANOVA were used to determine the effect of general characteristics of subjects on their educational needs. Pearson correlation was done to measure relations between general characterictics of subjects and their educational needs and Stepwise Multiple Regression was done to test a variable affecting educational needs. The results were as follows. 1. Mean score of the educational needs of the subjects was 137.06(Maximum 176) . The educational needs of home care was the highest score, but the question numbers are smaller than other categories. So, the educational need of the diagnosis and treatment was regarded as the highest in contents. 2. The number of subject's children, except for patient revealed significant negative correlation to educational need. 3. The number of subject's children, except for patient(R²=.215289 P=.0006)and the age of patient (R²=.23770 P=.0001) were emerged as important variables affecting the degree of mothers' educational need. Suggestion are as follows on the basis of these results. 1. It is proposed that nurses use these results of the study activly for the educational program for Nephrotic Syndrome patients and their mothers. 2. It is identified that the educational needs of the mothers of nephrotic syndrom is high. So, it is suggested to identify and analysis the degree of the nurse's educational performance perceived by mother. 3.

본 연구는 전산화된 임상 데이터를 이용하여 환자 중증도를 분별하는 기법을 고안하고 간호사가 작성한 분류 점수와 비교 분석하여 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 일개 종합병원의 7개 병동 재원환자 348명에게 하루동안 간호사가 수행한 행위를 근거로 환자분류(KPCS-1: Korean patient classification system for nurses) 점수를 간호사가 작성하고, 병원정보시스템에 저장되어 있는 임상 데이터를 이용하여 산정, 수집한 점수와 비교하였다. 간호사가 작성한 점수와 임상 데이터를 이용한 환자 중증도 점수 모두 진료과 및 환자유형에 따라 점수 분포를 비교한 결과 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 환자분류의 타당성이 동일하게 검증되었으며, 두 방법 간 에는 상관계수 0.96(p<.001)의 높은 상관성이 있었다. 임상 데이터 기법이 다소 높은 점수를 보였으나 일부 영역의 보완을 거친다면 간호사가 환자분류를 작성하지 않고, 병원정보시스템에 저장된 임상 데이터에 연동하여 자동으로 환자 중증도를 분별하는 시스템 개발이 가능하고 이를 간호인력의 성과관리 및 수급계획 등에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Background: Successful implementation of pain management procedures and guidelines in an institution depends very much on the acceptance of many levels of healthcare providers. Aim: The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding pain among nurses working in tertiary care in a local setting and the factors that may be associated with this. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional research study used a modified version of the Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey (NKAS) regarding pain. Basic demographic data were obtained for further correlation with the level of pain knowledge. Results: A total of 566 nurses, 34 male and 532 female, volunteered to participate in this study. The response rate (RR) was 76%, with an overall mean percentage score of $42.7{\pm}10.9$ (range: 5-92.5). The majority of participants were younger nurses below 40 years of age and more than 70% had worked for less than 10 years ($6.6{\pm}4.45$). Up to 92% had never had any formal education in pain management in general. The total mean score of correct answers was $58.6{\pm}9.58$, with oncology nursing staff scoring a higher percentage when compared with nurses from other general and critical care wards ($63.52{\pm}9.27$, p<0.045). Only 2.5% out of all participants obtained a score of 80% or greater. The majority of the oncology nurses achieved the expected competency level (p<0.03). Conclusions: The present findings give further support for the universal concern about poor knowledge and attitudes among nurses' related to the optimal management of pain. The results reflected that neither number of years working nor age influenced the level of knowledge or attitudes of the practising nurses. Oncology nursing staff consistently scored better than the rest of the cohort. This reflects that clinical experience helped to improve attitudes and knowledge concerning better pain management.

Some of the large sized companies have taken parts in a hospital business with a view or justification to improve medical care regadless of the disadvantageous fee-for-service medical insurance reimbursement system controlled by authorities related. This gradually brought about the financial difficulties to university hospitals as well as general hospitals that were less competitive. In this circumstance the hospital administrators are called for preparing and implementing proper financial strategies by analyzing external circumstances and internal abilities of their hospitals. In this aspect, an effective cost-analysis system in the hospital has been needed for years. K-University hospital developed the practical cost-analysis system and applied it to the hospital management. The effects of cost analysis system are as belows: first, the trend of the monthly revenue per medical specialist from March to July in 1996 showed increasing pattern which is different from that in past years. second, it turned out that the department of functional laboratory in relation to medical treatment enlarged the medical revenue very sharply. third, the intensive care units were being operated at the state of deficit, while other general wards were lucrative.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nurses' pain experience on the inference of their patients' suffering. Method: Study subjects were sampled from 184 nurses who worked in general wards in one S university hospital located at Seoul. Nurses' pain experience consists of personal pain experience and professional pain experience. The Standard Measure of Inference of Suffering (Davitz & Davitz, 1981) was used for suffering inference measure, and patients' suffering which consists of physical pain and psychological distress. Result: Suffering inference scores of nurses without personal pain experience revealed a higher value than that of nurses with personal pain experience. But these differences were not statistically significant. The higher intense pain was experienced, the higher were suffering inference scores. This physical pain inference score was statistically significant(p=.044). Of the nurses who had personal pain experience, suffering inference scores of nurses with unrelieved pain experience revealed a higher value than that of nurses with relieved pain experience. Physical pain and psychological distress inference scores were statistically significant(p=.010, p=.006). Suffering inference scores of nurses without professional pain experience(internal medicine, general surgery, orthopedic surgery) revealed a higher value than that of nurses with professional pain experience. Professional pain experience of internal medical illness was statistically significant in psychological distress of internal medical illness(p=.044), and professional pain experience of orthopedic surgical illness was statistically significant in physical pain of orthopedic surgical illness(p=.027). Conclusion: Nurses who have experienced low pain intensity or good pain relief are inclined n to underestimate patient' pain. Although nurses who care for the same patient over a long time deal skillfully with that patient, nurses are inclined to underestimate that patients' pain. Nurses need to be aware of possible biases related to pain assessment as a result of pain experience.
