Purpose: This study was conducted to assess needs at each end-of-life care stage and to analyze importance and difficulty of care needs for home care nursing among non-cancer patients. Methods: We used a retrospective design. Total eligible patients were 117 at the ages of 40 and over, who continuously received home care nursing throughout beginning, stable, and near death stages, and finally died at home from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. Descriptive statistics, Cochran's Q test, Friedman's test were used for data analysis. Results: In the area of physical care, the care need for 'assistance for activities in daily life' was significantly highest in the beginning stage. The care need for 'aggravation or adverse changes in physical symptoms' was significantly increased in the near death stage. In the area of psychospiritual care, 'family's psychological burden' was revealed as having the highest rate of care needs in the every stage. Conclusion: Future intervention should consider assessing care needs in end-of-life care for non-cancer patients who are provided with home care nursing.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the training system and current status of home health nurses and to examine ways to retain sufficient number of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in the home health nursing field. Methods: This study analyzed the adequacy of the supply of home health nurse by reviewing the existing research literature and statistical data. Results: Discussions on how to revitalize the home care business have been ongoing since the beginning of 2001. However, despite home health nurses being oversupplied, discussions on the adequacy of supply have always been excluded from the focus of revitalization. The recent expansion of the home care business has resulted in a shortage of workforce, which can be inked not only to the continuous reduction of the designated quota of programs but also to the regional imbalance of educational institutions. The serious imbalance between supply and demand has caused fears that the home care business would drastically reduce. Conclusion: It is necessary to not only increase designated quotas for APNs programs but also integrate those programs of the similar curricula, thus lowering supply shortages in home health nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with the health-related quality of life of family caregivers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. This study included 191 primary family caregivers of elders who used home care services (home-visit nursing, home-visit care, daycare) covered by the public long-term care insurance. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from December 2010 to June 2011. These data were analyzed by using hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The majority of the family caregivers were female (79.6%) and daughters-in-law (28.8%). The mean depression score was $6.33{\pm}6.49$ and the mean health-related quality of life score was $0.69{\pm}0.39$. It was found that the factors affecting the health-related quality of life of family caregivers included depression (${\beta}$=-.406, p<.001), home-visit nursing use (${\beta}$=.296, p<.001), and daycare use (${\beta}$=.178, p=.015), which accounted for 36.6% of their health-related quality of life.

Purpose: The world saw a shift into a new society consequent to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which made home quarantine mandatory for a person in close contact with those who tested positive. For children, however, home quarantine was not limited only to themselves but parents, especially mothers were involved and required to quarantine. This qualitative study aims to explore and understand mothers' experience and their related psychosocial issues while caring for their school-aged children in Korea, who had to home quarantine after coming in close contact with COVID-19 positive individuals. Methods: Data were collected from October 2020 to January 2021 via in-depth, semi-structured interviews with nine mothers of children who had to home quarantine. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in an independent space near the participant's home or workplace (n=5) or via online platforms or telephone (n=4). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through several iterative team meetings. Results: Thematic analysis revealed the following four themes: "Unable to be relieved due to uncertain situations surrounding me," "Blame and hurt toward me, others, and one another," "Pulling myself together for my children in my broken daily life," and "Changes in the meaning of life amid COVID-19." Conclusion: The narratives show that mothers experienced psychosocial difficulties while caring for their children during home quarantine. It is necessary to reduce the social stigma toward individuals in home quarantine and establish policies to ensure work-family compatibility for such mothers.

본 연구는 노인요양시설에서 생활하는 노인들이 경험하는 관계적 공격성이 우울감에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 시설적응이 미치는 매개효과를 검증했다. 이를 위해 서울 경기 지역 기초생활수급자 대상 노인전문요양시설 3곳과 노인요양시설 3곳에서 182부의 설문지를 회수해서 분석의 근거로 삼았다. 그리고 SPSS18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석 및 상관관계분석 등을, AMOS 7.0 프로그램을 사용해 구조방정식 모형을 분석했다. 그밖에 Sobel test를 이용해 매개효과의 통계적 유의미성을 검증했다. 조사결과를 분석한 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인요양시설에서 생활하는 노인들 사이에 나타나는 관계적 공격성과 우울감 사이에는 통계적 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노인요양시설 입소노인 간의 관계적 공격성이 우울감 사이에 시설적응의 매개효과가 있다. 즉, 시설에서 관계적 공격성이 높을수록 노인들의 시설적응은 낮아지고, 시설적응이 낮을수록 노인들의 우울감이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 제언을 하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인요양시설에서 노인들 사이의 긍정적인 유대관계를 형성하기 위해서 새로운 입소노인들이 기존 입소노인들과 함께 공감대를 형성할 수 있는 건강프로그램, 종교프로그램 등을 개발하여 공통된 관심사를 통해 상호관계를 증진시키도록 한다. 둘째, 노인들의 시설적응을 돕기 위한 방안으로써, 개인용품을 시설에 반입하는 허용 범위를 넓히는 방법을 생각할 수 있다. 셋째, 노인들 사이에서 나타나는 괴롭힘 같은 부정적 관계가 발생하는 상황을 중재 혹은 예방 및 경감하기 위한 프로그램을 해당 시설에서 적극적으로 개발할 필요가 있다.
