It is important to determine the action spectrum of UV-B radiation contained in the sunlight to estimate the risk of skin cancer. We have investigated action spectra for induction of apoptosis and reproductive cell death in L5178Y cells using the Okazaki Large Spectrograph at NIBB. L5178Y cells were exposed to light at different wavelengths in UV-B or UV-A region. Frequencies of apoptosis induction and reproductive cell death were determined by counting cells with chromatin condensation, and by the colony formation assay, respectively. The measured sensitivity spectra for the two end-points were in very good agreement. Sensitivity decreased steeply with increase of wavelength in UV-B region and remains nearly constant in UV-A region. The action spectra were also slightly steeper than that for the minimum erythematic dose (MED), but very similar to the light absorption spectrum of DNA in UV-B region. On the other hand, the spectra for both endpoints were similar to MED spectrum but not DNA spectrum in the UV-A region. Also different time-course and morphological difference of apoptosis were found between UV-B (long time, fragmentation) and UV-A (short time, shrinkage) region. These results suggest that DNA damage induced by UV-B light triggers apoptosis and reproductive cell death, but other damaged targets (membrane, protein and so on) trigger these effects in UV-A region.

Purpose: This study aimed at understanding terminal care provided in nursing homes. Method: An interview survey with staff in charge of terminal care was conducted in 97 nursing homes using questionnaires. The questionnaire was reviewed by 3 experts and pretested at 5 facilities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Result: Dyspnea was the most prevalent symptom predicting death. The most prevalent services were vital sign check for physical care, providing services by talking despite an unconscious state for psychosocial care, and respecting the faith of the elder for spiritual care. Employment of a registered nurse showed a significant difference in tube feeding (p=.035), analgesic administration (p=.022), informing the elder of end-of-life state (p=.020), helping an elderly person say good-byes through a visit with friends and acquaintances (p=.023), and helping express feelings related to death (p=.002). Lack of service was noticed for elderly resident, family, and staff after death of an elder. Problems related to terminal care were indifference of family members, difficulty in obtaining medical prescription, difficulty in predicting death, and so forth. Conclusion: Terminal care must be improved by making specific guidelines and it must become a part of nursing home evaluation.

한국인의 전통적 죽음관은 유교, 불교, 도교, 그리고 샤머니즘의 깊은 영향을 받았다. 유교에서는 죽음이 모든 생명이 겪는 자연스러운 운명이며, 죽음을 고민하기보다는 현세의 삶에 충실할 것을, 도교에서는 삶과 죽음이 크게 다르지 않으니 자연에 순응하여 살아갈 것을, 그리고 불교에서는 삶과 죽음이 모두 허상임을 깨달으면 궁극적인 진리에 도달하여 죽음을 극복할 수 있다는 가르침을 배웠다. 이러한 사상들은 한민족 고유의 샤머니즘과 결합하여 현세를 중시하지만 사후세계와 윤회전생을 믿는 태도를 낳기도 하였다. 이러한 모습들은 역사를 통해서 매우 다양한 내러티브들로 나타나며 현대 한국인들이 죽음을 맞는 모습에도 여전히 큰 영향을 미치고 있다.

This study was carried out to identify how a middle-aged woman's consciousness of the death and self-esteem was affected by whether the hospice volunteer's experience exist or not. As a form of descriptive research, this study, which is based on a structured questionnaire intended for the 191 middle aged women doing volunteer work at the non-profit women's organization, had been conducted twice from May 10, 2010, to May 21, 2010. The results of my research work is followed ; First, a middle-aged woman's consciousness of the death and self-esteem showed significant differences depending on whether the hospice volunteer's experience exist or not. Experienced hospice volunteer group showed a lower consciousness of the death and a higher self-esteem compared to non-experienced hospice volunteer group's case. Second, in case that the results show a high self-esteem, the consciousness of death reach at the low stage. Especially, the experienced hospice volunteer group showed an opposite correlation compared to non-experienced group. Third, Anyone's consciousness of death appeared at a low level when she had a religion and higher education background. Anyone's self-esteem oriented sense appeared at low level when she didn't have religion but rather appeared at high level when the health status of the targeted group was in a good shape. As a result, the hospice volunteer activities can be assumed to increase the middle-aged woman's self-esteem, therefore, turn the consciousness of death into a positive attitude.

본 연구는 암환자의 사전연명의료의향서 지식, 좋은 죽음 인식이 연명의료중단 태도에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 암환자의 연명의료중단의 자기결정 활성화를 위한 간호 중재프로그램 개발 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시행되었다. 외래 또는 입원치료를 받는 성인 암환자 167명을 대상으로, 2019년 9월 15일부터 2020년 3월 30일까지 자료수집을 하였다. 수집된 자료의 통계분석은 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 평균과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수, 다중회귀분석으로 하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 사전연명의료의향서 지식은 1점 만점에 0.74±0.21점, 좋은 죽음 인식은 4점 만점에 2.87±0.42점, 연명의료중단 태도는 5점 만점에 3.46±0.49점이었다. 본 연구결과 연명의료중단 태도는 사전연명의료의향서 지식, 좋은 죽음 인식과 정적 상관관계로 나타났으며, 영향을 미치는 변인은 사전연명의료의향서 지식, 좋은 죽음인식, 가족과 연명의료중단 논의 여부로 나타났고, 설명력은 16.0%이었다(F=10.355, p<.001). 따라서, 암환자의 연명의료중단 태도 향상을 위해 사전연명의료의향서 지식 및 좋은 죽음 인식을 높일 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 가족과 환자의 사전 논의에 도움을 줄 수 있는 중재 방안이 필요하다.

From August, 1986 to December, 1989, mitral valve replacement was performed in 93 patients. Of the valve implanted, 42 were Duromedics, 35 St. Jude Medical, 15 Carpenter-Edwards and 1 Ionescu-Shiley. The hospital mortality rate was 3.2%[3 patients] and the late mortality rate was 4.3% [4 patients]. The causes of hospital death were LV rupture in 1, renal failure in 1 and hypoxic brain damage in l. The causes of late death were congestive heart failure in 1 and sudden death in 3. Follow-up was done on 78 surviving patients; mean follow-up period was 29.22$\pm$9.09 months. The actual survival rate was 91.8% at 4 years. We concluded, therefore, that good clinical results could be achieved with mitral valve replacement in short-term follow-up, and long-term follow-up is also necessary.

From August, 1986 to December, 1993, mitral valve replacement was performed in 178 patients. Of the valve implanted, 114 were St.Jude Medical, 47 Duromedics, 16 Carpenter-Edward and 1 Ionesc-Shiley. The hospital mortality rate was 2.8%[5 patients and the late mortality rate was 7.5%[13 patients . The causes of hospital death were LV rupture in 1, renal failure in 1, cardiac tamponade in 1, valve malfunction in 1 and hypoxic brain damage in 1. The causes of late death were sudden death in 6, congestive heart failure in 4, brain ischemic injury in 3. Follow-up was done on 155 surviving patients : mean follow-up period was 50.94$\pm$8.04 months. The actual survival rate was 88.2% at 8 years. We concluded, therefore, that good clinical results could be achieved with mitral valve replacement in mid-term follow-up, and long-term follow-up is also necessary.

본 연구는 간호학 전공 대학생의 낙태와 안락사에 대한 태도 및 좋은 죽음에 대한 인식 수준과 관련요인과의 관계를 파악하기 위하여 시도되었다. 자료조사는 C시 및 G시에 소재한 대학교 2곳의 간호학 전공 학생들을 대상자로 선정하여 구조화된 설문지를 통하여 이루어졌다. 연구방법은 서술적 조사연구로서 변인에 대한 평균과 표준편차, 빈도분석, Pearson's correlation coefficients 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과, 대상자의 낙태 반대에 대한 지지정도는 2.51±.56점(점수범위 1-4)으로 낙태에 대한 반대가 찬성보다 우위에 있었다. 안락사에 대한 인식은 3.06±.47점(4점 척도)로 중간보다 높은 수준으로 긍정적으로 인식하였고, 좋은 죽음 인식은 2.97±.47점(4점 척도)으로 중간 정도로 나타났다. 낙태에 대한 의사결정은 97.1%가 임신한 여성에게 있다고 하였으며 낙태를 경험한 대학생은 5.7%였다. 낙태에 대한 태도는 안락사에 대한 태도와 부적 상관관계(r=-.374, p<.001)를 보여 낙태반대를 지지할수록 안락사에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 나타내었다. 따라서 대상자들이 간호서비스를 제공하면서 생명의 존엄성과 인본주의적 사고에 기초하여 환자의 인권을 보호하고 존중할 수 있도록 생명과 죽음과 관련된 윤리교육이 필요하다.

본 논문은 고령사회를 맞이한 우리 사회가 안고 있는 노인의 문제에 주목하여 노년의 삶을 이해하고 노후준비와 죽음준비의 필요성을 인식하도록 하기 위한 것을 목적으로 한다. 영화 '죽여주는 여자'의 주인공 소영의 서사를 중심으로 작품 속 맥락에 따라 문학 치료 관점으로 리뷰 분석한다. 영화 속 작품 서사에는 빈곤, 질병, 치매, 외로움, 죽음의 두려움 등 노인들이 겪는 고통의 문제를 잘 보여준다. 초고령 시대를 맞이하여 국가적 차원의 소외된 노인에 대한 제도적 보완장치 마련과 사회적 관심과 안전망이 확보되어야 하며, 개인적으로는 노후설계를 통한 구체적인 노후준비가 필요하다. 나아가 노후준비 및 죽음을 준비하기 위한 노후준비 교육 프로그램과 죽음 교육 프로그램의 연구와 교육을 위한 지원이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
