The purposes of this study were to describe systemically 18 years of oncology nursing research in Korea and suggest it's direction in future. 149 nursing studies published from 1980 to 1998 were selected for the present study. There were examined the source and the design of study, type of subjects, measurement variables, the intervention outcome of experimental research, and theme of qualitative research. The results were as follows : 1. 121 of 149 studies were composed of master thesis and dissertation of graduate school. There were 55 correlations, 30 descriptions, 19 comparisons, 19 qualitative studies and 2 Q-methods as the type of research design. 2. Cancer patients without describing specified diagnosis as subjects' characteristic were 44 of total studies. The others had various diagnoses such as gastric cancer, uterine cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. According to treatment type, patients receiving chemotherapy were the highest number distribution as 53 of all researches. 3. Most measurement instruments used for research were translated it into Korean that developed by foreigners, such as Zung's depression, Spielberg's anxiety, and Wallston's locus of control. 4. Quality of life was shown the most frequently among correlational researches. the next one was depression, the third was hope, and so on. 5. There was the most frequent comparison between cancer and non-cancer patients in comparative researches. It was surveyed those variables as diet habits, risk factors, stressful life events, anxiety and depression, and self-care capacity between two groups. 6. The subjects were mostly chemotherapy patients as 15 of 24 experimental studies. Oral care and education were respectively the highest experimental interventions. 7. Qualitative researches about cancer were reported since 1991. Their themes were illness experience, adaptation process, dying experience, family experience, hope, caring, experience of health behavior, meaning of chemotherapy and experience of cancer survivor. Phenomenologic methodology was designed above 50% of qualitative researches. According to the above findings, cancer research had increased since 1990 and done mostly by descriptive design but a few experimental studies. As recommendations for the future, It is necessary to study the comparison of oncology nursing research internationally, the replication to establish the effect of nursing intervention, and the family care of cancer patient.

Background: KLK3 gene products, like human prostate-specific antigen (PSA), are important biomarkers in the clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). G protein-coupled receptor RFX6, C2orf43 and FOXP4 signaling plays important roles in the development of PCa. However, associations of these genes with PCa in northern Chinese men remain to be detailed. This study aimed to investigate their impact on occurrence and level of malignancy. Methods: All subjects were from Beijing and Tianjin, including 266 cases with prostate cancer and 288 normal individuals as controls. We evaluated associations between clinical covariates (age at diagnosis, prostate specific antigen, Gleason score, tumor stage and aggressive) and 6 candidate PCa risk loci, genotyped by PCR- high resolution melting curve and sequencing methods. Results: Case-control analysis of allelic frequency of PCa associated with PCa showed that one of the 6 candidate risk loci, rs339331 in the RFX6 gene, was associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) =0.57-0.94, P = 0.013) in northern Chinese men. In addition, subjects with CX (CC+TC) genotypes had a decreased risk for prostrate cancer compared to those carrying the TT homozygote (OR =0.64, 95% CI = 0.45- 0.90, P = 0.008). The TT genotype of 13q22 (rs9600079, T) was associated with tumor stage (P=0.044, OR=2.34, 95% CI=0.94-5.87). Other SNPs were not significantly associated with clinical covariates in prostate cancer (P > 0.05). Conclusions. rs339331 in the RFX6 gene may be associated with prostate cancer as a susceptibility locus in northern Chinese men.

청소년기 교정환자의 통제소재와 교정치료 협조도의 수준을 조사하고 그 관련성을 알아보고자 설문조사를 실시하였다. 경상남도 창원시 소재 3개 치과 병, 의원에서 교정치 료를 받고 있는 청소년 238명(남자 70명, 여자 168명)을 대상으로 실시한 연구조사의 결과는 다음과 같다. 청소년기 교정환자의 협조도 수준은 $4.1{\pm}0.39$로 나타났고, 교정치료를 결정하는 사건들에 대해서 외적 통제-부모의 영향이 강하다고 판단되는 환자일수록 교정치료 협조도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 통제소재 수준은 $3.49{\pm}0.37$로 나타났고 하위요인 중 내적 통제가 강하다고 판단되는 점수가 $4.46{\pm}0.53$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 청소년기 교정환자의 내적 통제가 가장 높은 점수로 나타났지만, 실제 교정치료 협조도에 영향을 미치는 통제소재는 부모로 나타났다. 청소년기는 부모로부터 정서적 심리적 독립을 추구하면서도 미성년이기에 완전히 독립할 수 없고 아동에서 성인이 되어가는 과도기적 단계이기 때문에 부모의 영향이 크게 작용할 수 있다. 청소년 교정환자의 교정치료 협조도를 증진시키기 위해서는 환자와 부모의 유대관계를 파악할 필요가 있으며, 환자의 교정치료에 대한 태도나 심리 상태를 파악할 필요가 있겠다. 나아가, 성공적인 교정치료를 결정짓는 중요한 요인 중 하나인 교정환자의 협조도를 증진시킬 수 있는 여러 방법을 모색하기 위한 연구들이 필요하겠다.

Hypertension is the most prevalent disease worldwide and is itself a risk factor for cerebral, cardiac, and renal diseases. The inconsistency of candidate genes suggested by previous genomewide association studies (GWASs) may be due to not only differences in study design and genetic or environmental background but also the difference in the power of analysis between continuous traits and discrete traits. We analyzed 352,228 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8842 unrelated Koreans obtained from Ansan and Ansung cohorts. We performed a series of GWA analyses using three different phenotype models; young hypertensive cases (278 subjects) versus elderly normotensive controls (680 subjects); the upper 25% (2211 hypertensive cases) versus the lower 25% of the SBP distribution (2211 hypotensive controls); and finally SBP and DBP as continuous traits (8842 subjects). The numbers of young hypertensive cases and elderly normotensive controls were not large enough to achieve genomewide significance. The model comparing the upper 25% subjects to the lower 25% of subjects showed a power that was approximate to that of QTL analysis. Two neighboring SNPs of the ATP2B1 gene, rs17249754 (SBP, p=$2.53^{-10}$; DBP, p=$1.28{\times}10^{-8}$) and rs7136259 (SBP, p=$1.30{\times}10^{-9}$; DBP, p=$6.41{\times}10^{-8}$), were associated with both SBP and DBP. Interestingly, a SNP of the RPL6 gene, rs11066280, revealed a significant genomewide association with SBP in men only (p=$3.85{\times}10^{-8}$), and four SNPs located near the MAN2A1 gene showed a strong association with DBP only in elderly men aged 60-70 years (e.g., rs6421827, p=$4.86{\times}10^{-8}$). However, we did not observe any gene variant attaining genomewide significance consistently in the three phenotype models except for the ATP2B1 gene variants. In general, the association signal with blood pressure was stronger in women than in men. Genes identified in GWASs are expected to open the way for prevention, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment of hypertension.

노인장기요양보험 도입 이후 노인요양병원은 양적으로 빠르게 증가하였다. 그러나 노인요양병원 이용자의 만족도에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 이 연구는 Sheth의 소비가치이론을 우리나라 노인요양병원 환자들의 특성에 맞게 부분적으로 수정하여, 시립노인요양병원과 민간노인요양병원에 입원한 환자들을 대상으로 만족도의 중요한 요소 중 하나인 재이용 의사를 분석하여 노인요양병원 경영전략 수립에 필요한 기초자료를 도출하였다. 서울과 경기지역에 소재하고 있는 시립노인요양병원 2개소와 민간노인요양병원 3개소에서 진료를 받고있는 60세 이상의 입원환자 475명을 조사 대상으로 선정하였다. 구조화된 설문지를 개발하여 2012년 8월 1일부터 2012년 9월 30일 까지 자기 기입방법과 면담 설문방법으로 자료를 수집하였다. 분석방법은 SPSS(version14.0)을 사용하여 요인분석을 통해 범주를 추출하고, 위계적 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과 소비가치 요인 중에서 기능적 가치인 재활치료의 만족도가 병원을 재이용하도록 하는 가장 강한 요인이었으며, 감정적 가치인 첨단 고급성과 진료서비스의 신뢰성, 건강적 가치인 운명적인 건강관의 순으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다. 따라서, 노인요양병원의 경영에 있어서 이러한 연구결과에 기초하여 병원 이용 만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 재활치료 프로그램의 향상 및 시설, 장비의 개선, 직원의 친절도 향상 등의 전략을 수립하고, 병원 재이용 의사를 제고하기 위한 경영 전략을 수립하는 것이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of discomfort. self - esteem. personality and life - satisfaction in persons with rheumatoid arthritis and to provide basic data to help them attain a better quality of life. From Jan. 27 to Feb. 24, 1988, 53 patients, registered at a rheumatic clinic at one general hospital in Seoul, were accepted as subjects for this study. The instruments used for this study were a discomfort scale and life- satisfaction scale developed by the researcher, Rosenberg's Self - esteem Scale and Wallston and Wallston's Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MEILC) Scale. The reliability of the scales were tested by Cronsbach's alpha. The collected data were analyzed by the SAS program using unpaired t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficients. The results were as follows : 1. There was a significant difference in the subjects perceived discomfort level(t＝-3.49, p＝ .0010) between the onset of the disease(14.87$\pm$9.02) and the present(19.87$\pm$8.44). 2. There was a significant correlation between the MHLC - internal score and the MHLC -chance score (r＝-.4366, p＝ .0011). 3. The findings related to the demographic variables regarding the MHLC scores were as follows : 1) Regarding sex, there was a significant difference for the MHLC -internal score(t＝4.2572, df＝15.2, p＝ .0007) between male(32.13$\pm$2.47) and female(27.56$\pm$4.17). But the MHLC-chance score for male(15.13$\pm$2.85) was lower(t＝3.1539, df＝21.8, p$\pm$ .0047) than for female(19.47$\pm$6.29). 2) Regarding educational background, the MHLC - chance score for the below - high school group(20.52$\pm$5.81) was higher(t＝2.5450, df＝51.0, p＝ .0140) than the college graduate group(16.41$\pm$5.76). 4. The average Self - esteem score was 26.87 (S.D.＝5.29) and there was a significant correlation between the Self- esteem score and the MHLC - chance score (r＝ .3122, p＝ .0026). 5. It was found that the subjects' Discomfort score was correlated with the Self -esteem score(r＝-.3788, p＝ .0051) and the Life - satisfaction score(r＝-3570, p＝ .0087). It was also found that subjects' Self - esteem score was correlated with the Life-satisfaction score(r＝ .4474, p＝ .0008).
