Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current status of discharge education and nursing needs of children after musculoskeletal surgery. Methods: The literature from research databases was reviewed and analyzed (using PubMed, RISS review, KISS, and Dbpia). Results: Children who have undergone musculoskeletal surgery face physical challenges due to the effects of splints and immobilization, and experience pain for a long time. Therefore, home care after discharge is of paramount importance in these cases. The discharge education needs of each patient vary with regard to the topic and period. Discharge education should be systematic and consistent, with an emphasis on understanding the needs of the patients and parents. Conclusion: While there are studies on the nursing needs of adult musculoskeletal surgery patients at discharge, studies on discharge nursing needs in children who have undergone musculoskeletal surgery are still insufficient. It is necessary to specifically identify the educational needs of parents of children undergoing musculoskeletal surgery. Interventions that improve the voluntary participation of patients and parents in active self-care need to be developed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the needs of RN-BSN students concerning the RN-BSN curriculum and make suggestions for improvement in the curriculum based on the needs of the students. Method: A descriptive survey study was used. Data were collected from 707 RN-BSN senior students in 21 universities. The research instrument, which was developed after in-depth interviews with 13 RN-BSN students, consisted of 10 curriculum objectives, 34 cultural courses, 48 major courses, three questions on clinical practicum, and teaching methods for 5 required courses. Result: The curriculum objectives selected by the RN-BSN students were problem solving, clinical applicability, critical thinking, creative thinking, and decision making. They wanted cultural courses such as English, understanding of human behavior, social welfare, women's studies, psychology, nutrition science, leadership, recreation, computer applications, exercise and health. They wanted major courses to include the nursing process, nursing research, health assessment, advanced adult nursing, infection control, spiritual/hospice nursing, and nursing of cancer patients. They responded that a clinical practicum was not necessary. They wanted to experience various teaching methods according to particular characteristics of subject being taught. Conclusion: This study suggests some recommendation for improvement of the curriculum based on the needs of RN-BSN students.

Personalized Patient centered nursing care is increasingly difficult to achieve despite the fact that it remains one of our consistent goals. So, we must find away to individualized nursing care. One means, to achieve this is by use of the nursing history form, which has been developed to help the nurse make maximum use of her limited time with the patient, by obtaining systematically the information needed to plan his nursing care. The nursing history form can be used to collect data about individual nursing needs but also it lends itself to the collection of epidemiological data relevant to the needs of patient population. So this study was undertaken in an attempt to describe the general characteristics of the population studied, to find out their perceptions and expectations related to their illness and hospitalization, to find out specific basic needs and to examine the relationship between the patients nursing needs and demographic characteristics through the responses to the nursing history questions. The study population defined and selected was all the patients (70) who were admitted to Yonsei University Hospital from October 1 - 15, 1975. The direct interview method was used and the data were categorized by the investigator, according to the nature of responses to each question and were subjected to the percentile and the chi- square tests. The findings can be summarized as follows 11. General characteristics of the study population ; The population was made up mainly of urban patients who were highly educated. The age was equally distributed. 2. Patients, perceptions and expectations related to illness and hospitalization ; 88.6% of the patients knew about the reason for hospitalization but 64. 5% could state symptoms only. 37.5% recognized the cause of illness. Approximately three fourth of the patients expressed on expectation for early recovery. 60.0% of the patient responses indicated, that they expected less than 10 days of hospitalization. Of the total responses regarding hospitalization, 45.7% were negative about the post -hospitalization expectation, 45.7% expected to return to work. As a result of these findings, we can see that there is a great educational need, a psychological need and environmental need for adaptation to the hospital and a socio- economic need for the post - hospitalization period. 3. Specific basic needs : The physical needs include the problem of getting sufficient sleep (50.0%), difficulty in food intake(47.1%), problems with hospital diet (47.0%), abnormal condition of the skin(44.3%), problems with bowel elimination(35.7%), assistance with bathing(35.7%), pain(30.0%), difficulty in walking(30.0%) , difficulty in seeing(30.0%) problems in urinary elimination(20.0%) , and difficulty in hearing(10.0%), 4. Nursing needs and epidemiological characteristics ; Age distribution was related to the rendition of the mouth but no significant differences were observed statistically with the patients responses to the other nursing history questions according to the epidemiological variables of age, sex, education and residence.

본 연구는 간호학생의 재난준비도와 재난간호 핵심수행능력 및 교육요구도를 파악하여 재난간호 교육과정 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시행된 조사연구로 D 지역 간호대학 및 간호학과 4학년 252명을 대상으로 시행되었다. 연구결과 대상자의 재난간호 수행능력은 평균 2.76이었으며, 재난간호 수행능력중 "재난상황시 문서기록절차"가 2.34, "소속기관의 재난관련지침"이 2.37로 가장 낮았다. 또한, 대상자의 재난준비도는 평균 2.14이었으며, 가장 낮은 항목은 "집에서의 재난대피연습" 항목이었다. 대상자의 재난간호 핵심수행능력에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 재난준비도(${\beta}$=.48), 재난교육요구도(${\beta}$=.21), 성적(${\beta}$=.26), 재난교육 여부(${\beta}$=-.11)로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 간호학생의 재난준비와 재난간호 핵심수행능력은 부족한 실정으로 나타났으며 재난간호에 대한 교육이 절실히 필요하며 간호대학생을 위한 재난간호 교육과정 개발을 위한 교육내용에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a scale measuring sexuality information needs of patients with cancer. Methods: Nine items of sexuality information needs were based on the PLISSIT model and concepts of sexual rights. A factor analysis using principal axis factoring and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ were performed to test validity and reliability. Data were collected from 211 patients with cancer visiting a cancer center in Seoul, Korea. Results: Factor loadings of the 9 items of sub scales ranged from .43 to .96. Three factors in this study explained 74.4% of the total variance. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of the 9 items was .83. Conclusion: The scale of information needs about sexuality showed acceptable construct validity and reliability. This scale would be useful to assess the levels of information needs for sexuality for patients with cancer. The possibility of the scales' expansion to other group could be investigated in future studies.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the educational needs of families of children who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and to compare these needs with the educational importance as perceived by nurses. Methods: The participants were 44 families of children who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and 50 nurses who cared for these children. Data was collected through self-report questionnaires which included items on educational needs and the degree of educational importance. The data was analyzed using the SPSS/WIN program. Results: The educational needs of families before and after transplantation were high, with items on disease and treatment, and direct care ranked as most important, respectively. The degree of educational importance as perceived by nurses was different from that of families. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the educational needs of families before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were different from those after the procedure. Also, the perception of educational importance was different for families compared to nurses. Therefore nursing education programs based on the educational needs of families should be provided.
