Purpose: The objectives of this study were to identify interventions and to analyze the characteristics of headaches among hospitalized patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage with moderate or severe headaches. Methods: A retrospective review of the electronic medical records of 210 patients who received treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage was conducted. Data collection was done using a structured headache record sheet. Data analysis was carried out using the PASW 18.0 version program. Results: There were significant differences in number and duration of headaches of headaches according to the presence of vasospasm, increased intracranial pressure, extraventricular drainage, use of hypertonic solution, and hospitalization period (p<0.05). Patients with vasospasm and extraventricular drainage experienced the most severe headache for a duration of 3 to 7 days. Other patients experienced the most severe headache for around 1-2 days. Conclusion: Hospitalized patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who had vasospasms experienced more headaches and the duration of these headaches were longer. In particular, the assessment and interventions for headaches should increase and be carried out actively during this time because the intensity of these headaches is severe and lasts for 3-7 days. Additionally, we emphasize the need for regular administration of analgesics in order to promote patients' well-being. On the basis of the results of this study,we suggest that evidence-based interventions for the care of headaches among hospitalized patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage should be developed.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of Home Health Nursing based Respiratory Management Program (HHNbRMP) on unmet healthcare need and healthcare resource utilizations of patients applying the home mechanical ventilator in the home with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The subjects of this study were 40 patients placed in an experimental group(n=19) and a control group(n=21), respectively. This HHNbRMP based on Cox's interaction model was consisted of cognitive assent (education, specialized medical care, case management), internal motivation (airway clearance, thoracic and air accumulated exercise) and psychological response (meditation & active listening). The intervention was applied to experimental group during 12 weeks. As variables was measured at baseline, twelve, twenty-four weeks and healthcare unmet need, resource utilizations (admission, out patient department, emergency room) was measured at 24 weeks. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and Repeated Measures ANCOVA. This intervention was not effective the unmet healthcare need. But the admission in to the hospital among the healthcare resource utilizations variables showed a significant difference at twenty-four weeks(t=4.17, p=.049). This results suggest that applying this program tailored to patients condition, utility of medical resource would be decreased, specially admission.

In Korea, there is a need for safe and convenient elderly housing so that older people can enjoy a good quality of life and perform various daily activities while they maintain their health and well-being. Thus, this study is to suggest community -based housing settings for the elderly. We analyzed living space characteristics of the Continuing Care Retirement Communty(CCRC) in the U.S. In particular, we focused on CCRCs in the Oregon area and examined two types of settings: 1) a tower setting and 2) a town setting. The CCRC living arrangements include independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and memory care. We visited six CCRCs in Oregon during January through May in 2015. The field observations and floor plan surveys were conducted for data collection. The data analysis revealed that there are two types of arrangements: the suburban type and the urban type. Element analysis of the living unit designs for each CCRC type demonstrated typical space configurations. It was found that home care services were provided from local communities. It is suggested that community-based housing for the elderly should include mixed housing types so that community facilities can be shared. Medical services in the community were offered through healthcare institutions, disease prevention centers, welfare centers, and sports facilities. In order to apply these community-based care systems to elderly Korean housing, it is important to develop a community based on independent homes that share services and welfare facilities.

Methods: This study was conducted using secondary data collected by students who interviewed 93 healthcare subjects in a health center. The data was used to analyze the general characteristics, health-related characteristics, and confirmed problems of family nursing phenomena of the subjects. Independant t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression were used for the data analysis. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 82.4±6.3 years. The most common problem of the family nursing phenomenon were unhealthy lifestyle, disturbance in family communication, and lack of family interaction in the community. People with greater family nursing phenomenon problems reported a higher degree of frailty and depression, lower quality of life and self-rated health. The factors that influence the family nursing phenomenon of frail older persons are the problems of mobility and hearing. Conclusion: Physical and psychological problems associated with aging can cause not only personal, but family functional problems as well. Therefore, a comprehensive family-oriented support program is required.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the burden of caring for the care-givers of the elderly in Korea by using an integrated literature review method. A total of 23 studies were analyzed using a search database. When care-givers had higher sense of filial and guilt or more than two diseases, they showed high level of feeling of burden. Also, they had high level of feeling of physical burden by their oldness, service period (especially at the period of 1-3 years). In the feeling of economic burden, they had high level of feeling of burden by their oldness, or elderly's disease periods. The feeling of burden by psychological condition was found in elderly in aged and the beginning of admission of nursing home. The feeling of burden by environment situation was found when the functional status of the elderly was bad. Therefore, we need to concern care-givers's feeling of burden with elderly people in the nursing home. In the future, I believe that the findings of this study will be helpful for development of the intervention program for alleviate burden for the care-giver.

A descriptive study was conducted to describe the content of nursing interventions and incoming telephone calls from the parents whose child was discharged to home or who has planned immunization during the period from March 15, 1995 to November 30, 1995. Detailed notes on 145 telephone calls and 243 nursing interventions were recorded by head nurses on pediatiric nursing units were entered to data collection and content analysis. The results of the study are as follows : 1. Six analysis categories for the records on incoming telephone calls were identified judgement-dependence, dependent -coping, self-initiated coping, support, adjustment and intermediation need. 2. Five analytic categories for the records on telephone interventions were identified : guidance, mediation, facilitating self -care abilities, support, instrumental use. 3. Problems related to physical signs and symptoms, medication, immunization, and vital signs were most often cited as concerns by parents and caregivers. 4. Instruction, suggestion, provision knowledge and information, reassurance related to physical problems, medication, immunization and clinic visits were most often used as an nursing interventions by head nurses on pediatric nursing units. In spite of the fact that the telephone calls were initiated by the parents, dependency of parents during the telephone calls was remarkable. The dependency of parents on judgement and decision making of the pediatric nurses should be understood in terms of the psychosocial content as well as cultural characteristics. Therefore, it is suppested that telephone interventions focus on facilitating the self-care ability of the parents whose children have chronic conditions. The results of this study will be useful as an essential reference in providing effective for children and their families after discharged from the hospital. The results can also be used as reliable data for extended pediatric nursing service in the health care delivery system as well as for the development of telephone intervention service program in responding to the current health care environment.
