Objective: This study conducted in order to investigate the correlations between fall experience, balance, mobility, and confidence. We examined the difference between fall experience, and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUG), Tinetti balance assessment (Tinetti balance [TiB], Tinetti gait [TiG]), and Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale scores to see how fall experience, balance, mobility, and confidence of the persons with stroke affects their balance. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Forty-one subjects participated in this study. The BBS includes 14 items, consisting of a 5-point scale from 0 to 4, totaling up to 56 points. The Timed Up and Go-Alone (TUGA) was used to measure the average time to take a 3 m round-trip by getting up and down from a 46-cm high chair with an armrest on a flat floor. The Timed-Up-and-Go-Cognitive (TUGC) was performed by counting backwards and the Timed Up and Go-Manual (TUGM) is performed by holding a cup full of water. The total score for the TiB is 16 points, and the TiG is 12 points, making a total of 28 points. There are 16 items total for the ABC scale. Results: According to the fall experience, BBS, the TUGA and TUGC values were significantly higher in the inexperienced group compared to the experienced group (p<0.05). The number of falls was significantly correlated with BBS, TUGA, TUGC, TUGM, TiB, TiG, TiB+TiG (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study supports that falls experience is strongly related to balance, mobility, and confidence. Optimal balance training programs for fall prevention is still insufficient and must be developed.

It is a well accepted fact that mental and physical health of nurses has a direct bearing or influence in their practice in the nursing profession. Recently, with this view in mind, the study of the mental and physical health of nurses has attracted the attention of many especially those in research hospitals. According to Soon Hyang Cha(1974) a nurse in clinical practice or service has a daily energy consumption of 39% and San Cho Chun (1974) asserts that Nurses'duties are more demanding on her emotionally than on her nursing technical skills. Many more studies has been made to this effect, here and abroad and similarly stressed the importance of mental and physical health for nurses. This study was made in an attempt to analyze the trend or tendency of the mental and physical health of nurses by employing the Cornell Medical Index (CMI) method. The data has been collected from May 1977 to November 1977, 200 nurses from 8 University hospitals and 200 nurses from general hospitals in Seoul, Theses who participated were selected at random. The data were tabulated and comparison made. The results were as follows : 1. Among nurses, the analysis based on the length of experience, it is apparent that, the longer or more experience one ha s, the more complaints they have. 2 The longer the nurses are engaged in nursing practice, the more they have problems in their digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory and nervous systems and are more prone to diseases, and get tired easier than those of shorter experience. But on the other hand it could be seen that younger nurses or nurses with less experience in the profession are more melancholic and prone to stress than those with longer experience.

Objectives : This pilot study examined the physical and psychological sequela of Korean War victims. Methods : Of 255 elderly who completed the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), we selected 16 subjects who suffered severe traumatic experiences during the Korean War and met more than 2 specified symptoms of PTSD in DSM-IV-TR and 16 controls. Demographic characteristics, medical history including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and brain infarction, Geriatric Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, suicide scale in MINI, and a scale for the assessment of somatic symptoms were compared between subjects with trauma experience and controls. Results : Subjects with trauma experience were more likely to have brain infarction and diabetes mellitus compared to control group. Depressive symptoms and suicidal risk were significantly higher in subjects with trauma experience than controls. Subjects with trauma experience showed significantly higher scores in Trait Anxiety scale and more complained of pain than controls. Conclusion : This study suggests that traumatic experience probably induce physical and psychological problem even 60 years later. Further studies are needed to confirm the results of this pilot study.

Purpose. This study compared the awareness of the evidence-based practice(EBP) in 100 physical and occupational therapists. Methods. A questionnaire on awareness was conducted to examine the attitude toward EBP, the educational experience of EBP, and the performance ability of EBP. A questionnaire consisted of items on the general characteristics, the attitude toward EBP, the educational experience of EBP, and the performance ability of EBP of the subjects. Data analysis was made by IBM SPSS Statistics Ver. 20. The EBP awareness was examined by the independent t-test. Results. For the attitude toward EBP, there was a statistically significant difference in the item of 'Therapists should judge whether they apply study results to individual patient. For the educational experience of EBP, there was no statistically significant difference in all items. For the performance ability of EBP, there was a statistically significant difference in the item about the ability to understand patient's desire for treatment and treatment preference and the item about the ability to determine appropriate treatment process in cooperation with patients. Conclusions. Both two groups showed very low results in the attitude toward EBP, the educational experience of EBP, and the performance ability of EBP. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance EBP education in undergraduate programs and the clinical field.

Effort to improve balance ability in the field of rehabilitation has been constantly issued and developed up to now. A variety of subcomponent of postural control including function and cognition should be needed in many body systems and be complicatedly linked to each system. In South Korea, although decreased postural dysfunction due to neurological or musculoskeletal disorders has been well documented, we do not have many experience and knowledge of vestibular rehabilitation for maintain and improve balance function. In the United States, vestibular physical therapy is already acknowledged as clinical subspecialty by American Physical Therapy Association. However, there is no curriculum subject related to vestibular rehabilitation in standard education of physical therapy and no specialist who has clinical experience and knowledge of this realm. Therefore, we reviewed general information and basic knowledge of vestibular rehabilitation such as current state of vestibular disorder in South Korea, pathology, major causes of vestibular dysfunction including peripheral vestibular disorders, vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and central disorder, evaluation of vestibular dysfunction, and treatment for vestibular dysfunction new approaches. We expect that physical therapist in South Korea recognize clinical significance of vestibular exercise and that clinical concern and research will be begun in near future.

본 연구는 숲 체험 놀이 활동이 유아 학부모의 기대감과 유아의 다중지능향상에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보기 위해 A지역 소재 어린이집 유아 학부모 152명을 대상으로 구조방정식 모델을 적용하여 실증 조사하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 유아의 숲체험 놀이 활동의 신체적, 사회적, 인지적 요인이 학부모가 유아의 안전 활동 기대감과 미세먼지 염려에 미치는 요인에 있어 신체적, 인지적 요인이 채택된 반면, 사회적 요인은 기각되었다. 둘째, 유아 숲체험 놀이 활동이 유아의 다중지능 향상에 미치는 영향에서 신체적, 사회적, 인지적 요인이 다중지능 향상의 하위 요인인 사회성에 영향을 미쳤다. 또한, 사회적, 인지적 자발성은 감수성과 창의성 향상에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아의 숲체험놀이 활동이 다중지능 향상에 미치는 영향에서 학부모의 기대감이 매개역할을 할 것이라는 가설 3은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타나 기각되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 숲체험 활동의 신체적, 인지적 요인이 유아 학부모의 미세먼지 염려와 안전활동에 직접적인 영향을 받는 요인임을 확인하였으며, 그리고 사회성 요인은 유아의 어린이집 내 다양한 교육에서 충분히 습득될 수 있는 요인으로 숲체험 놀이 활동에 대한 학부모의 기대감과는 다소 거리가 있음을 시사한 것으로 평가할 수 있다.

본 연구는 중학교 체육교사의 교직 경험 의미 탐색으로서 체육교사의 교직 정체성을 토대로 교직 경험 관련 심층적인 진술을 듣고 그 안에서 발견되어지는 의미 있는 내용 탐색과 의미 구조를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구 참여자는 현직중학교 체육교사 4명이다. 연구방법은 Colaizzi의 현상학적 방법을 통해 연구 참여자의 심층 면담, 집단 면담, 추가 면담 및 현장 기록 등을 통하여 의미 구조를 분석하였다. 연구문제를 해결하기 위하여 면담은 반 구조화 면담(semi structured interview)으로 진행하였으며 교직 경험과 관련하여 중복 사례나 유사 현상 등의 내용이 더 이상 나오지 않았을 때 개인 면담은 종료하였다. 연구 결과, 연구 참여자들과의 면담을 통한 이야기 진술들을 토대로 경험 의미를 구성하였으며 구성된 의미에서 개념을 탐색하여 2개의 항목, 6개의 범주 및 12개의 주제 모음이 추출되었다. 교직으로 향하게 된 이유는 '동기'와 '신념'으로 범주화 되었으며, 교직 수행 경험 의미는 '임무', '관계', '고갈', '극복'으로 범주화 되었다. 결론적으로 연구 참여자들은 수많은 어려움도 있었지만, 학교라는 공동체 안에서 나눔의 기쁨과 가치를 추구하며 도전과 회복을 경험하고 있었다.
