This study was performed to identify the level of stress recognized by the parents as a support system for their infant patients who were hospitalized in an emergency department, thus to provide the resulting data as the basic material of care intervention for the families of infant patients. This study subjected the parents with infant patients who were hospitalized in emergency department of C University Hospital in Daejeon, and the data was collected from questionnaires for them, dating from Mar. 20, to Jun. 24, 2001 This study used the tool(30 questions) which was originally developed by Ji, Dong-ok (1992) for measuring the stress of families of infant patients in emergency room, and then was modified and complemented by this researcher suitably for infant patients. Collected data was statistically analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, by using SPSS WIN10.0 program, and the results were as follows: 1. The stress of parents with infant patients hospitalized in emergency department averaged 3.31 on the basis of 5-point measure, which means that they felt stress beyond means. 2. The factor with high average out of stress factors the parents of infant patients recognized included the followings: 'about the pain of infant patients due to examination(3.91±1.00)'; 'about rare opportunity to be in contact with physician(3.78±1.09)'; 'delay in emergent treatment required for infant patients(3.75±1.31)'; 'delay in the general treatment of infant patients(3.72±1.32)'. Factors of the stress level includes the followings: 'care and medical treatment'(3.46±.72); 'body and diseases'(3.41±.97)'; 'lack of information and supportable resources (3.25±.77)'; and so on. 3. For the stress level according to general characteristics, there were statistically significant differences in the result of the condition of infant patients, medical treatment(P<.01), religion, the procedure of treatment(P<.05). With little preceding studies for infant patients hospitalized in emergency department, this study looked through the level of stress recognized by the parents of infant patients. Based on the comprehension on the parents with infant patients and the knowledge on stress factors recognized by the parents, it is expected that we can seek the methods of care intervention such as explanation of care and treatment procedures, unit policies, continuous interest and emotional supports as well as the provision of information to understand the responses of parents and reduce accompanied stresses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the meaning of "positive attitude" for medical surgical nurses in caring for cancer patients. Methods: A qualitative method was used in this qualitative descriptive study with data from nurses who had volunteered to participate in an in-depth interview that was conducted between January and February 2012. A total of 10 nurses in general medical and surgical wards of a district hospital were interviewed. Results: The study used three broad themes to describe this multifaceted construct: showing empathy, seeing positively and behaving positively. The nurses were aware of their attitudes towards being positive with cancer patients and its significance in support for cancer patients. Conclusions: The findings of this study can serve as a platform upon which educational and other support programmes can be developed in order to meet the needs of those general nurses working with cancer patients. Future studies are recommended to examine nurses' beliefs about cancer that are thought to affect positive attitudes toward cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of obese children's life style habits in order to contribute to the prevention and management obesity. The survey group included B,D, and J elementary school children. Out of 731 children, 380 were in the obese group and 351 were in a control group following the 1985 Korea Pediatric Association Height and Weight Standard Chart. Through a self questionnaire, a description of background, exercise including play behavior, diet intake, eating behavior and, environment were obtained. The results included that children's obesity is related to parents' obesity and, girls in both control and obese groups participate less in exercise than boys. Also, aspects of the amount of diet intake and speed of eating was significantly more (p<.001) and faster (p<.05) for the obese group. Furthermore, outdoor playing time for the obese group was significantly more than the control group (p<.05). Looking at the results, it is necessary for both school and home to actively involve themselves in guidance and providing an environment that modifies life style habits to prevent childhood obesity.

The present study was undertaken to explore the role of autonomic nerves in the regulation of sodium transporters and water channels in the salivary gland. Rats were denervated of their sympathetic or parasympathetic nerves to the submandibular gland. One week later, the expression of Na,K-ATPase, epithelial sodium channels (ENaC), and aquaporins (AQP) was examined in the denervated and contralateral glands. The sympathetic denervation slightly but significantly decreased the expression of ${\alpha}1$ subunit of Na,K-ATPase, whereas the parasympathetic denervation increased it. The expression of ${\alpha}$-subunit of ENaC was significantly increased in both the denervated and contralateral glands either by the sympathetic or parasympathetic denervation. The sympathetic denervation significantly increased the expression of AQP5 in both the denervated and contralateral glands, whereas the parasympathetic denervation decreased it. It is suggested that the autonomic nerves have a tonic effect on the regulation of sodium transporters and AQP water channels in the salivary gland.

This study was done to understand nonpharmacologic pain management for pediateric patients and nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward it. The aim of this study was that which method did the patient's use according to the nurses' age, and how did they effectively use these methods in their field. The subjects of this study were 77 nurses working in the Pediatric unit in the Kyung Medical Center from September 2 to 15, 1999 using questionnaire form. The results of this study were as follows : 1. We divided the subjects into four groups : Younger than one year old, 1-6 years, 6-12 years, 12-18 years group. In the group younger one year old, most of the nurses participating in this study used speaking in soft quiet tones, supportive touch, toys, pacifiers. In the group of 1-6 years, they used speaking in soft quiet tones, toys, distracting attention, story talking, and visual stimulus. In the group of 6-12 years. they used pop-up books, providing information, cold therapy, speaking in soft quiet tones, supportive touch. In the group of 12-19 years, most of them used providing information, controling respiration and supportive touch. 2. The effective nursing intervention used in their field are speaking in soft quiet tones, pacifiers and nesting with blanket in the group of younger than one year old. Un the group of 1-6 years old, speaking in soft quiet tones, toys, and supportive touch were effective method in the control of nonp-harmacologic pain management. In the group of 6-12 years old, story talking, supportive touch, and speaking in soft quiet tones were effective method and in the group of 12-18 years old, providing information, cold therapy and supportive touch were effectively used to control nonpharmacologic pain management. 3. To compare the general characteristics and non-pharmacologic pain nursing intervention, in the group of younger than one year, touching stimuli is widely used. In the groups of 1-6, and 6-12 years old, visual and audio method were widely used. In the group of 12-18 years old, sensitive intervention were used as well as education, information and guided imagery. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in nurses' demographic characteristics, child's age and nonpharmacologic pain management. There was significant difference only in the nurses working area, that is nurses working in the surgical department used more audio-visual-tactile pain management methods than medical department.

명동의, 실습기록에 관한 취급과 지도실태를 파악, 검토하여 앞으로 환자실습 시에 도움이 되는 자료를 얻고자 한국과 일본의 전국간호교육기관의 성인간호학, 아동간호학 및 정신간호학을 담당하는 교수를 대상으로 우편조사를 실시한 결과, 30.9%(한국), 45.2%(일본)의 응답율을 보였다. 조사내용은 일반적 특성 4문항, 학생실습에 관한 환자 설명동의 내용으로 구성된 29문항, 교수의 실습기록에 대한 지도와 관리에 관한 15문항 및 병동의 간호기록에 대한 학생의 기록에 대한 3문항으로 총 54문항으로 구성하였다. 분석방법으로 일반적 실태는 백분율을 보았으며, 영역별로는 ${\chi}^2-test$ 및 프리드만 검정을 하였으며, 개방식질문(자유기술)에 대해서는 응답자의 내용을 카드화하고 KJ법에 기초하여 관심내용을 추출하였다. 조사결과는 다음과 같다. 간호대학생의 임상실습 시에 "환자를 정해서 실습한다"고 응답한 비율은 50.0%(한국), 99.0%(일본)였으며, 주로 "수간호사"가 환자에게 설명하였는데, 분야별로는 성인, 아동, 정신간호학의 순으로 통계적으로도 유의한 차이를 보였다. 환자의 승인을 얻는 방법으로는 "구두승인"이 대부분이었으며, 실제로 동의서를 받는 경우는 두나라 모두 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 환자배정 시 설명에서는 한국과 일본 모두 "학생이 실습으로 맡게 된다" 49.0%, 100.0%로 가장 높았고, 반대로 가장 낮은 비율은 "실습기록을 보이면서 설명한다" 7.8%(한국), "환자는 실습기록을 볼 수 있다" 0.7%(일본)로 거의 비슷한 상황이었다. 환자실습 시 설명동의에 관한 교수의견에서 일본은 "환자에 대한 설명방법의 현상", "설명동의에 관한 사고와 설명동의의 바람직한 모습", "설명동의서를 받는 것과 관련된 불안과 딜렘마", "설명동의의 도입과 교육적 기대", "설명동의에 필요한 환경", 및 "과제"의 6개로 분류되었다. 한국에서는 "환자에 대한 설명방법의 현상", "설명동의서를 받는 것과 관련된 어려움" 및 "과제"의 3개로 분류되었다. 간호대학생이 실습 시 간호기록지에 기록은 "기재한다"가 한국이 46.1%로 일본의 17.7%보다 2.6배 높게 나타났다. 환자 개인정보가 기재되고 있는 학생의 실습기록의 취급에 관한 것으로 병원 밖으로 "가지고 나간다"가 한 일 각각 50.0%, 89.7%로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 실습기록의 지도에서는 두 나라 모두 "비밀을 지킬 것을 지도하고 있다"는 것이 가장 높아 한국과 일본이 각각 92.2%, 98.3%이었으며, 가장 낮은 항목은 한국이 "실습기록에 워드프로세스를 사용하지 않도록 지도한다" 17.6% 인 반면 일본은 "실습기록에 워드프로세스를 허용하는 경우, 규칙을 정하고 있다" 6.3%로 나타났다. 학생이 병동의 간호기록지에 기재하는 것에 대한 교수의 의견을 개방식으로 질문한 결과를 범주화하여 분류한 결과, "학생이 간호기록에 기재하지 않는 것이 좋다", "과제이다", "기재하고 있다. 기재할 수 있다", "기재하는 것은 의미가 있다", "상황에 따라 판단한다", "현재는 판단하기 어렵다"의 6개 범주로 구분할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 간호대학생의 임상실습 시 환자의 설명동의는 절대적으로 필요하며 실습기록의 관리지도도 교육과 학습의 목적뿐만 아니라 환자의 개인정보의 보호라는 맥락에서 고려되어야 할 것이다. 임상현장에서는 교육적 관점에서만 해결할 수 없는 문제도 있으므로 실습기관과의 대화를 통한 실습기록과 교육의 개선을 시도할 필요가 있음을 제언한다.
