The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation tool for the quality of nursing care in abdominal surgery patient. The target subjects of the tool were adult patients having abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. Process-outcome framework was selected for the development of the tool in this study. The results were as follows. 1. Nine standards. 40 criteria and 88 indicators were developed. A standard was summary statement of the ideal level of excellencein a dimension of quality of nursing care. which could be evaluated by criteria. Several criteria indicated a specific standard and each criterion could be measured by observable and measurable indicators. 2. The standards were divided into two dimensions. One was process dimension which contained four standards(23 criteria), the other was outcome dimension which contatined five standards(17 criteria). 3. Average CVI was .985 at 9 standards. .947 at 40 criteria. and .987 at 88 indicators. 4. The evaluation tool for the quality of nursing care in abdminal surgery patients was a criterion-referenced tool. And data collection methods of the tool were investigation of patient's record and interview( or questionnaire) with the patients. 5. Interrater reliabilities of the tool were ; r= .7572 (agreement between two raters), and pI=.8487 (intraclass correlation between five raters who rated the 84 patients). 6. Internal consistency reliability ${\alpha}$ was .6194, which was obtained from 32 criteria. Eight criteria were missed in the analyzing process because of data omission. 7. Scores of the process and the outcome dimensions showed significant. but low correlation(r= .3759, p < .001). 8. There were significant differences in total scores between the hospitals and the departments of surgery(F = 15.233. p .0001). There was also significant interaction effect between hospitals and departments to total score(F = 8.396. p = .0001). Construct validity of the toool was verified by the known-group method. these kinds of difference were expected by the nursing experts participated in the study. From these results, more specific patient classification is suggested for the development of evaluation tool of the quallity of nursing care. And indicators to be used for objective measurement for the quality of nursing care must be developed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was cross-mapping unique nursing statements which were identified in the nursing records of patients with six most common cancers in Korea with the standardized nursing languages of NANDA, NIC, NOC and ICNP. Method: The subjects were 72 nursing records which covered 1,502 admission days from August 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003. They were the records of the patients of six most common cancers who were treated at the six 3rd level general hospitals in Busan and Daegu. The unique nursing statements were identified by dividing the statements from the nursing records into the single statements according to their meanings. For cross-mapping, identified unique nursing statements were classified as 'Data(D)' for the subjective, objective data of the patients and the other data such as treatment, admission, discharge, and residence of patient, 'Problem(P)' for nursing problem or diagnosis defined by the nurse's decision, 'Intervention(I)' for nursing intervention for problem solving, and 'Outcome(O)' for patient reaction and results of the provided nursing interventions. Unique nursing statements classified to D, P, I, O were cross-napped by using Microsoft Excel 2000. The statements of D were cross-mapped with ICNP Nursing phenomena, P with NANDA nursing diagnosis and ICNP nursing phenomena, I with NIC and ICNP nursing intervention, and O with NOC and ICNP nursing phenomena Result: The results of this study were as follows. 1. Number of unique nursing statements were 506 in the records of lung cancer patients (18.12%), 480 in stomach cancer(17.19%), 458 in liver cancer(16.40%), 456 in colon cancer (16.33), 457 in breast cancer (16.36%) and 436 in cervix cancer (15.60%). 2. The range of percentage of cross-mapped unique nursing statements with the standardized nursing languages were as follows: P with NANDA nursing diagnosis $87.50{\sim}100%$, I with NIC $59.72{\sim}74.43$, O with NOC $61.05{\sim}72.64%$, and D, P, I and O with ICNP $60.92{\sim}69.95%$. 3. Number of the standardized nursing languages identified in this study were 21(12.66%) from 155 NANDA nursing diagnosis, 76(15.64%) from 486 NIC Nursing interventions, 54(17.47%) from 260 NOC nursing outcomes, and 343(13.03%) from ICNP 2,634. Conclusions: By the results of this study, NANDA, NIC, NOC and ICNP were found that they can be used as the language systems for nursing record and nursing information system for cancer patients. But, further study on the unique nursing statements which were not cross-mapped with the standardized nursing language systems will be necessary.

Method: This was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 93 women who had experienced cervical cancer screening in S city and were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. Intervention tools were a screening record pocket book, phone-coach. and watching a video(17mins). The data was collected from April to December, 2003 and analyzed using an $X^2-test$. t-test and ANCOVA. Results: The 1st hypothesis, "The Posttest know ledge score of the experimental group will be significantly higher than that of the control group" was supported(F=11.16, p= .001). The 2nd hypothesis, "The Posttest health belief score of the experimental group will be significantly higher than that of the control group" was not supported(F=3.38, p= .069). The 3rd hypothesis, "The Posttest self efficacy score of the experimental group will be significantly higher than that of the control group" was supported(F=4.36, p= .040). The 4th hypothesis, "The Rescreening compliance rate of the experimental group after the nursing intervention will be significantly higher than that of the control group" was supported($X^2=3.45$, p= .050). Conclusion: This nursing intervention was effective in increasing the knowledge of cervical cancer, and self efficacy percentage of rescreening compliance. Therefore I think this intervention can be used for promoting the rescreening compliance of women.
