A case of Strongyloides stercoralis infection was experienced in a 73-year old Korean female patient, was hospitalized with relapse of cholecystitis. The patient developed cough and dyspnea 17 days after the admission. On the 27th hospitalized day, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain started. A number of parasitic larvae were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. Typical fork tailed filariform larvae of S. stercoralis (Bavay, 1876) Stiles and Hassall, 1902, were identified after cultivation. There was no improvement of diarrhoea after the medication with mebendasole. After the administration of thiabendazole, however, diarrhoea was stopped. On the 6th day of medication, S. stercoralis larvae was no more detected, and thereafter no larva was observed by repeated stool examinations upto 2 months after chemotherapy. The patient had the history of administration of steroid for articular rheumatism. Therfore this ,case seems to be a hyperinfection of S. stercoralis due to an autoinfection and to be the first report on the hyperinfected strongyloidiasis in Korea. Related literature was briefly reviewed.

본 연구의 목적은 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력과 환자 자가평가, 간호사 평가 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위한 것이다. 자료수집은 D시에 소재한 E대학병원 내과 및 외과병동에 입원한 성인 환자와 담당 간호사 각 89명, 총 178명을 대상으로 하였으며, 환자의 의료정보이해능력 측정은 입원환자용으로 수정된 의료정보이해능력 도구와 Single Item Literacy Screener를 이용하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력은 17점 만점에 평균 $11.45{\pm}4.22$점이었으며 정답률은 67.3%이었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 나이, 학력, 직업, 유인물 읽기 여부에 따라 차이가 있었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 환자 자가평가와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었으나 간호사 평가와는 유의한 관계가 없었다. 그리고 환자 자가평가와 간호사 평가 사이에도 유의한 관계가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력을 사정함에 있어 환자 평가는 임상현장에서 활용 가능성이 있지만 간호사에 의한 단일문항 평가는 주의가 필요함을 시사한다.

Recurrence of peripheral nerve palsy is unusual, specially in eye. So there's seldom report about recurrent peripheral nerve palsy in eye. We treated a patient who had consecutive oculomotor nerve palsy after recovery of abducent nerve palsy at right eye. The patient visited our clinic for abducent nerve palsy. When he was hospitalized, ophthalmalgia was VAS 4 but it disappeared when he discharged on 21th of June. Although there was, in the case of abduction of eye, no noticeable change during the hospitalization, it was healed after he received outpatient service twice a week until Nov. 3rd. Oculomotor nerve palsy appeared on 24th of November, 2008 and the patient was hospitalized on Nov. 26th. At that time ophthalmalgia was VAS 4, but disappeared when he discharged. When he entered hospital, the length between upper & lower eyelid and MRD 1 were all 0mm. However, when he discharged, the length between upper & lower eyelid was 11mm, and MRD 1, 4mm which were the same lengths as those of the normal left eye. In the case of eye movement, the motion of supraduction, infraduction, and adduction was entirely inhibited when the patient was hospitalized. By the time of discharge, the inhibition of infraduction was recovered after that of adduction, but the inhibition of supraduction was not recovered. This is a very rare case of peripheral nerve palsy, nevertheless he recovered complete twice by acupuncture and herb medicine therapy.

The main purpose of this study is to identify nursing needs of parents who have hospitalized child. Research design is a descriptive survey. The subjects for the study were 79 parents who have hospitalized child at a pediatric ward of one of the general hospital attached to a university in J city. The data was collected by researchers using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was Likert type 5 point scale, composed of 5 categories with 61 items. The data was analyzed by SPSS/PC. The results of the study were as follows ; 1) Mean score of nursing needs of subjects were 3.93 at 2nd day of admission and 3.99 at 7th day of admission. 2) Among the categories, the highest nursing need at the End day and 7th day of admission was ‘dilect nursing’, in desending order, ‘facilities and environment’, ‘education and counseling’, ‘nursing assessment’. The lowest nursing need was ‘reference’. 3) Differences between the nursing needs of subjects at 2nd day and 7th day were as follows : (1) By categories, there was a significant difference only in the ‘reference’ categoly(t=2.74, P=.008). (2) By items, there were significant differences in items of ‘to check necessary materials(t=2.31, P=.024)’, ‘to understand family function and family relationship(t=2.12, P=.041)’, ‘to set up study room(t=2.22, P=.030)’, and ‘to mediate parent's meeting group(t=3.89, P=.000)’. The above result indicated that nursing needs of parents with hospitalized child were above average, especially very high in items about disease process, and items directly associated with treatment and nursing care. So, nurses have to focus on information about the patient's state of disease, treatment, test and procedure, and in efficiently giving direct nursing care to implement mure effective care for the hospitalized children and their parents. And some future researche is needed to identify the difference of degree of nursing needs of parents with hospitalized child according to admission duration using a different sample and a longer sampling interval.
