전공봉사학습을 치위생 전공교과과목인 예방치위생학 및 실습 수업과 노인구강보건봉사활동 I, II를 D대학 치위생과 학생들 1, 2, 3학년 총 131명에게 2학기에 걸쳐 적용하여 그 경험적 효과성을 분석한 결과, 학생의 개인적 성장 측면에서는 자기효능감은 유의하게 증가한 것으로 나타났으며(p < 0.05), 이타심 및 사회적 책임감도 유의미하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 아울러 자기효율성, 이타심 및 사회적 책임의 변화는 학년별로는 유의하였으며(p < 0.05), 봉사활동횟수에서는 유의하지 않았다. 또한 학년에 따른 자기효능감, 이타심 및 사회적 책임의 차이가 어떤 잡단간의 차이에서 기인한 것인지를 알아본 결과 1학년과 3학년 간, 2학년과 3학년 간에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 봉사학습 참여 후 예방치위생학 및 실습과 연계한 노인구강보건봉사학습에서 시행한 봉사활동과 교과목 구성에 대한 질문에 대한 평가결과 봉사학습 참여 후의 봉사활동 횟수와 봉사활동 만족도 점수는 유의한 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 또한 봉사학습 참여 후의 봉사활동 횟수와 교과목 평가점수도 유의미한 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05).이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 치위생전공교육에 봉사학습을 적용했을 때 실제적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 봉사학습이 보다 다양한 교과목에 효과적으로 적용되고 활성화되도록 하기 위해서 다음의 제언을 하고자 한다. 차기연구에서는 기존의 강의중심의 수업과 봉사학습을 적용한 수업간의 비교연구, 과목에 따라 다양한 봉사학습의 효과를 규명하는 연구 등을 통해서 보다 면밀하게 봉사학습의 효과를 검증해보는 것이 필요하다.

Objectives: This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of changes in the oral environment of the elderly in long-term care facilities after the intake of Weissella cibaria. Methods: The test group ingested the W. cibaria strain Chonnam Medical University (CMU), and the control group ingested the control food. Of all randomized trial subjects, 62 were analyzed (32 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). In this 8-week demographic study, we evaluated self-perceived halitosis, changes in halitosis, sensory test results, tongue plaque index scores, saliva buffering capacity, and the salivary flow rate. Results: The W. cibaria CMU intake in the elderly in long-term care facilities during the experimental period did not demonstrate statistically significant changes in the salivary flow rate. However, self-perceived halitosis, organoleptic test results, tongue plaque index scores, and salivary buffering capacity demonstrated statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. These findings partially confirmed the beneficial effects of the W. cibaria CMU on the oral environment in the elderly. Conclusions: Research results on the role of probiotics in the oral cavity should be summarized, and utilization plans should be sought to obtain a clearer understanding of the clinical efficacy and related factors. The value of probiotic use may be high in improving the oral health of people by enabling treatment and prevention.

Background and objective: Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) is a disabling complication with long term impact on quality on life after breast cancer treatment. Its management remains a major challenge for patients and health care professionals; the goal of this overview was to summarize effects of different treatment strategies for patients with BCRL. Methods: A thorough search was undertaken to allow a systematic review or meta-analysis of treatments for BCRL. Two investigators independently selected studies and abstracted the data. Results: Combined physical therapy (CPT) with different combinations of surgery, oral pharmaceuticals, low-level laser therapy, weight reduction, mesenchymal stem cell therapy, kinesio tex taping, and acupuncture might be effective in reducing lymphoedema, but exercise demonstrated no obvious benefit. The results of direct comparisons showed CPT might be more effective than standard physiotherapy (ST). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) may not offer additional benefits to ST for swelling reduction, but could facilitate compression bandaging. MLD seemed to have similar effects with self-administered simple lymphatic drainage (SLD) or using an intermittent pneumatic compression pump (IPC). IPC might also not be associated with additional effectiveness for CPT. Efficacy of stem cell therapy vs. compression sleeve or CPT, as well as the effects of daflon and coumarin could not be established. Conclusion: Although many treatments for BCRL might reduce lymphoedema volume, their effects were not well established. The quality of many of the original studies in the included reviews was not optimal, so that in future randomized control trials are a high priority.

Purpose: This study was to analyze the trends and content of all the research (171 research papers) published in the Journal of Fundamentals of Nursing from 1994, when it began to 2000 using an objective tool developed by the researches, and to identify the direction for the future research in Fundamentals of Nursing. Method: Research published in the Journal of Fundamentals of Nursing from 1994 were reviewed. Result: Most of research (94.2%) was non-degree based and funded research was very limited. The average number of researchers per research study was 2.2 and collaborative research has been gradually increasing. The total number of key words was 331 and the average was 2.6 per research. The major key words were not different from other nursing departments and included home care nursing (10 times), health promotion (8 times), self-care (7 times). self-efficacy (7 times), and homo-dialysis (6 times). Eighty seven percent of the research was quantitative research. and there were very few qualitative studies. Considering theory level, it was found that 40% were factor related research For study design, non-experimental studies were most frequent (66%), and the rate, especially of surveys, has remarkably decreased. Selection of subjects by convenience sampling, was most frequent and there were very few studies that provided the rationale for the calculation of sample size. The major subjects of study were patients (44.8%) with various diagnoses. The subjects usually gave oral consent to take part in that study. Giving information (46.9%) and exercise (26.5%) were common nursing interventions, and physiological indices (16.5%). vital signs (10.3%), physical functioning (8.2%), level of knowledge/skill (7.2%) and level of activity (6.2%) were frequently measured as outcome. Variables questionnaires were the major approach used to collect data, and 57.8% of the research provided the Cronbach alpha to guarantee internal consistency of study instruments. Data were analyzed with computerized statistical packages using, ANOVA (42.0%), T test(39.5%), and chi-square test. For the last seven years, nursing research in Fundamentals of Nursing has gradually improved in both quantify and quality. Conclusion: It was difficult to find any uniqueness or difference compared to other departments of nursing. In fact, because the history of the Journal of Fundamentals of Nursing is rather short, we can expect that there will be further improvement in qualify and content in the future.
