Although the usefulness and importance of clinical application of nursing diagnosis are well recognized by the academic circle, it is not yet generally practiced. In order to provide data for establishing a policy for clinical nursing diagnosis; a study was made at a seminar, sponsored by the Department of nursing, Severance Hospital, with participation of 190 nurses from 33 hospitals. The objective of the study was to find out; 1) if the nurses agree with the academic community in recognizing the benefits and problems of clinical application of nursing diagnosis; 2) how the nurses evaluate their ability to carry out nursing diagnosis; and 3) if educational programs would help enhance ability of nursing diagnosis among nurses. The summary of findings by the study is as follows; 1. While all nurses responded positively on the question of benefits improving science and quality of nursing, thus elevating credibility and position of nurses, some expressed concern on the practicality of the system in setting up nursing objectiveness, confirming the nursing problems and utilizing patient information. For the 20 questions and the scale of 1~5, the lowest average score was 3.223 and the highest 4.066. 2. The study attempted to find out the opinion of the nurses on the problems that 'would make difficult to adopt the nursing diagnosis in clinics. The result of the study indicates the nurses believe the major problems are the fact that the subject of nursing diagnosis are not well defined and that the form sheets do not match with the ones that are currently being used. However, comparing it with the result of the previous study on the same question (inadequate manpower and insufficienf time allocated for the job were two major problems pointed out then.), it can be said that the opinion of the nurses studied this time was much more positive and it suggests that they believe the system can be adopted without increasing manpower and only by giving additional training and by adjusting the format of nursing record sheets. It suggests that the future for adopting a clinical nursing diagnosis is very bright. 3. As the most urgent problem to be solved for adopting clinical nursing diagnosis, 38. 5% responded that it was "education of nurses, "and 34.2% responded that it was "staffing adequate number of nurses". 4. For the 10 questions asked for self-evaluation of ability to adopt the system, with the scale of 1~5, average score was lower than 3. This indicate that they evaluate their ability to adopt the system is low. 5. The results of study taken before and after the educational programs for clinical nursing diagnosis were compared with overall score in order to determine if such program would cause changes in the response to the effect of clinical application of nursing diagnosis, and it was found that there was statistically significant changes suggesting that the education contributed to positive change in the response. 6. The results of study taken before and after the educational programs for clinical nursing diagnosis were compared with overall score in order to determine how the proble~ ms for adopting nursing system would be effected by such educational programs, and it was found that those problems be not soived with a short course of training. 7. The results of study taken before and after the educational programs for clinical nursing diagnosis were compared with overall score in order to determine if such programs would bring changes in the self-evaluation of nurses on the ability of nursing diagno sis, and it was found that program improve score of self-evaluation their ability of the nursing diagnosis. As seen in the above reports, it was found that the nu'rses are very positive about the clinical nursing diagnosis, that educational program for the clinical nursing diagnosis helps nurses for positively changing their attitude for ,the nursing diagnosis, for their self-confidence on their ability to perform nursing diagnosis. With improved know-how and self"confictence of nurses gained through educational and .training programs, the future of clinical application of nursing diagnosis is very bright.diagnosis is very bright.

A considerable change of the Korean nursing system has been made during the last decade not only in its philosophy but also in its function and structure to meet political and scientific need of the modern society. The main purpose of this study is to develope the new concept of comprehensive nursing care, both its Philosophy and ethics, as the basic of modern clinical nursing theory and practice. Comprehensive nursing care is the concept of human centered nursing care, and it helps a man to meet the basic physical, psychological, environmental, socioeconomic and teaching needs. It also helps him to help himself to meet these needs. This concept starts from the individualized nursing care and its ultimate goal is to improve a man to have a better position in his own community so that he may able to have a meaningful life. To accomplish this goal, an individualized nursing care plan as a nursing diagnosis and problem solving method should be set up for different patients with similar diagnosis to meet their needs, because each patient has a different social background. from this viewpoint, nursing is a science as well as abstruse humanity. The performance of comprehensive nursing care is a goal and issue of modern clinical nursing care. If nursing is a science and a profession for man, it should have ethics which recognize the dignity of man and offers infinite service voluntarily, and should be able to show leadership in carrying out the nursing responsibility. This leadership finds a person's potential and encourages him to utilize it. Such concepts should develop into a nursing ideology and this ideology should become a priority in comprehensive nursing care. The following statements are the conclusion of this study. 1) Modern nursing has been developed from disease centered nursing care to comprehensive nursing care based on humanity. The primary principle of nursing was to assist in the treatment of disease, but it has been changed to the professional nursing system independently. 2) The concept of nursing is one of continuous or endless scope of dispersion. It proves that nursing is grasping the professional responsibility to be able to coordinate scientific principles Patient health problems are according to scientific principles rather than adhering to nursing technical discipline as a daily work. 3) In chapter I and Ⅱ, the philosophy and ideology of nursing have been discussed and the flow of concept of clinical nursing and the rate of progress which emerges from naturalizing performance of the concept of comprehensive nursing in clinical nursing studied. The discussion developed the theory that a nurse should be to embody nursing ideas and objectives by establishing definite conviction of professions and study. 4) In chapter lil, nursing planning based on nursing diagnosis as a method to attain ideal nursing care for humanity with a definite idea of establishing philosophy of nursing was presented. 5) From the result of survey on patient needs about treatment and nursing, it was observed that all patient had emotional stress from unknown factors. Therefore it was concluded that nurses should not only educate the patient but also give them the opportunity to communicate freely their needs and anxieties. Furthermore complaints and doubts of the patient should be carefully noted and must be considered to meet these needs. 6) Patient teaching is the most important part of comprehensive nursing care. In chapter, Ⅲ, the important of patient teaching was emphasized by demonstrating the effect of patient teaching for diabetic patient. 7) In Chapter Ⅳ, from the result of the study on nurses attitudes to comprehensive nursing care, it was pointed that the evolution of nursing education and the establishment of a complete concept and value of comprehensive nursing was necessary.

Numerous research reports have substantiated the role of stressful life events in relation to the onset of health changes. The relationship tends to hold across different age groups. Theoretically, adolescence has been considered a developmental crisis period of great stress, impoverished coping skills and high vulnerability to biological, social and psychological demands. The research problem addressed by this study was to examine the relationships between stressful life events and health symptom patterns, and the effect of two variables, coping and social, support, theoretically considered to mediate the relationship between stress and health symptoms in adolescents. The following five hypotheses were tested in this research : 1. Health symptoms are positively related to stressful life events in adolescents, 2. Health symptoms are negatively related to coping in adolescents, 3. Health symptoms are negatively related to social support in adolescents, 4. When coping is controlled, the relationship between health symptoms and stressful life events will decrease, and 5. When social support is controlled, the relationship between health symptoms and stressful life events will increase. The study subjects consisted of 1090 high school students of the metropolitan city of Seoul. The following sampling procedure was used : 1. Of the 169 high schools in nine school administrative districts in the city, a proportional sample of ten schools was selected. 2. One class from each of the freshman and sophomore was randomly selected and all the students who were in the sampled class were used as the study sample. The study was limited to freshman and sophomore adolescents, aged 15 to 18(mean＝16.6). Of the 1090 subjects 688(63%) were boys and 402(37%) were girls. An Adolescent Inventory of Stressful Life Events, a Health Symptom Questionnaire and an Adolescent Coping Inventory were adapted for this study. The Norbeck Social Support questionnaire was utilized to collect the data on perceived social support. Five high school teachers in the areas of school health and counselling reviewed the items of each questionnaire for content validity. A pilot study was undertaken to ascertain reliability. Fifty three high school students responded to the questionnaires and gave their opinions on the items. For stressful life events, health symptoms, coping, and social support, the Cronbach's alpha's on the study were .70, .94, .77, and .76, respectively. Research assistants attended all the sampled classes with the school proctor to explain the purpose and procedures of the study to the students. The questionnaires along with a ballpoint pen were distributed to the students who were asked to complete each item. The research assistants left the ballpoint pen with the students as a gift for their cooperation. An average of 50 minutes was required to complete the questionnaires. Using an SPSS, the first, three hypotheses were tested using Gamma, a measure of association for ordinal variables. Partial gamma was used to test the fourth and fifth hypotheses. Patterns of elaboration described by Babbie were selected to interpret the relationship of the three variable analyses. The significance of gamma was determined by Chisquare at a .05 level of significance. There was a positive relationship between health symptoms and stressful life events(Gamma＝.35, p＝.000). Thus the first hypothesis was supported. Unexpectedly, coping was positively related with health symptoms(Gamma＝.13, p＝.000). That is, the higher the coping levels, the greater number of health problems. The third hypothesis, the higher the level of social support, the fewer the health symptoms, was not accepted in this adolescent study group. When coping was controlled, under the condition of low coping the association between health symptoms and stressful life events increased significantly to a partial gamma of .39, and under the condition of high coping it was .30. According to the elaboration model, when one partial relationship is the same or greater than the original and the other is smaller, the control variable should be considered to be specifying the conditions. When social support was controlled the relationship between stressful life events and health symptoms increased under the condition of low social support, but with high social support, the relationship decreased. Both partial gamma were statistically significant at .05 level(.43 and .26 relatively). It can be interpreted that stressful life events are strongly and positively related to health symptoms under the condition of low social support, however this relationship can not be expected with high social support. Thus, the last two hypotheses were conditionally sustained. In this study, the relationships between stressful life events and health symptoms, and the specified me diating roles of coping and social support were found to have statistical interaction. This finding supports the theoretical position of this study. It suggests that stressful life events would create high susceptability to biological social and psychological health symptoms and coping and social support buffering the relationship between stressful life events and health symptom. The findings of this study have implications for nursing practice. When adolescents are confronted with non-developmental life events that are perceived as stressful, nurses should recognize the evidence of the stress-buffering effect of coping and social support on health symptoms and utilize the diverse sources of social support that are readily available to adolescents.

호흡으로 인한 방사선 치료 표적의 움직임을 고려함으로써 치료 성적 향상과 동시에 주변 장기 보호를 지향하는 4차원 방사선 치료의 구현, 성능 개선의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 환자가 자연스럽게 호흡하도록 하는 장점이 있는 호흡 동기방식이나 종양추적방식을 사용하는 경우, 방사선조사 표적의 움직임을 예측, 방사선조사 시 이를 보정하여 줌으로써 방사선치료 효과를 극대화할 수 있다. 신경회로망은 통계 수식에 의존하지 않고 주어진 자료를 표현하는 일종의 규칙을 찾아내므로, 방사선 치료 표적의 실시간 움직임과 같은 비선형성을 가진 시계열(Time Series)을 표현하는 데에 유리하다. 본 연구에서는 신경회로망 예측 알고리즘의 4차원 방사선치료에 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. Multi-layer Perceptron으로 신경회로망을 구성하였고 Scaled Conjugate Gradient 알고리즘을 신경회로망 학습 알고리즘으로 사용하였다. RPM 시스템을 이용하여 획득한 실제 임상 현장의 환자에 대한 호흡 자료를 기반으로 학습한 신경회로망 예측 결과를 RPM 시스템의 측정치와 상호 비교하였다. 10명의 환자에의 적용 결과, 신경회로망 학습에 사용된 자료가 환자의 호흡 범위 전체를 포함하지 않는 경우를 제외하고는, 최대절대오차 3 mm 미만의 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다. 학습 영역 이외의 호흡 자료 예측 시 발생하는 상당한 오차는 신경회로망의 외삽에 대한 학습능력 부족을 보이는 것으로, 오차의 원인을 제거하기 위한 일환으로, 호흡자료를 측정할 때 최대 호흡을 하도록 하여 충분한 학습 자료를 확보하는 방안을 고려해 볼 수있겠다. 4차원 방사선치료 시스템 성능 개선에의 직접 활용을 위하여, 다양한 시스템 대기시간에 따른 예측 성능 평가와 방사선 조사 장치와 연동, 실용 타당성 검증의 추가 연구가 진행될 것이다.

We met results like the followings through the literatures and questionnaires about the tasks and solutions about the insurance fee of packed medical herbs. 1) It's turned out that 74.8% of herb doctors agrees to the insurance fee of packed medical herbs. However, in comparison with the same survey of the herb doctor association the percentage of general approval went somewhat lower, and especially the percentage of 'positive approval' became notably lower$(43.7%{\rightarrow}26.5%)$ and the percentage of 'active objection' raised about 2 times$(6.8%{\rightarrow}12.9%)$. Inquiring into the approval reasons on the insurance fee application of packed medical herbs some heads such as 'development toward treatment medical science' and 'decrease of publics burden' were higher than the one of 'management income and expenditure.' 2) As a result of the research, 36.0% of the patients and 42.8% of the residents recognized that the pay range of Chinese herb health insurance is narrow. They recognized that less people have the experiences of Chinese medical hospital use and internal application of the packed medical herbs as they are older, men rather than women. 85.4% of the patients and 74.9% of the residents agreed on the insurance pay of packed medical herbs. It's shown that they agree on the Chinese medical hospital use more as the economic standard is lower, on the insurance pay as they have ever taken the packed medical herbs. In the aspect of increase of insurance fee, 66.7% of the patients and 44.3% of the residents agreed on the insurance pay of packed medical herbs, and 18.1% and 36.1% disagreed on the insurance pay of packed medical herbs. The main objective reason why they disagree on the insurance pay of packed medical herbs was 'because the insurance fee goes up higher,' which answered 95.2% of the patients and 78.8% of the residents. 7.22% of the patients and 1.80% of the residents answered that they can pay more insurance fee in case of the insurance pay of packed medical herbs. However, in the priority order of the insurance pay, it hold the 5th position between 2 target research groups which was less than medical examination, charges for hospital accommodation and taking MRI. 3) According to the result of analysis about the cost of packed medical herbs, current practice price is 115,000 won and the average prime cost of a packed medical herb is 73,000 to 106,000 won. It's examined that the herb doctors regard that 95,000 won will be reasonable when the packed medical herb is payed in insurance. However, it was found out that the public generally thinks that the price would be appropriate on the level of 30,000 to 40,000 won and the percentage of the answers of 20,000 won to 30,000 was fairly high. 4) the central system of a prescription should be change into the central system of demonstration and the sick and wounded. 5) To solve this problem, the government should regulate it to pass by the circulation gradation of [importer, $peasantry{\rightarrow}manufacturer{\rightarrow}wholesaler{\rightarrow}distributor$(Chinese medical hospital, pharmacy dispensary of Chinese medicine)]And it should intervene into the quality and the circulation steps of Chinese medicine through 'the office or organization which is in charge of certification of Chinese medicine' and 'the office or organization which is in charge of the circulation of Chinese medicine.' And some actions such as simple severance, lavation, drying should be included into the conception of manufacture and the boundary between food and medical supplies should be made at a manufactory. And the regulation of standardized goods at one's own house should be improved so that, the peasantry can sell the materials of Chinese medicine only to the manufacturer. 6) In company with the insurance pay of packed medical herbs, the study about the separation of dispensary from medical practice in the Chinese medicine should be accomplished.

The purpose of this study was to explore the care needs of family-caregivers caring for patients with a CVA and the level of self care of the patients. The subjects for the study were 112 patients with a CVA and their caregivers. These patients were seen in a hospital or out-patient-department(OPD) at two oriental medical hospital in Jeonbuk province. The survey instruments used in this study were Kang's ADL checklist for self care of patients and Kim's Likert-style checklist for care needs of family-caregivers to patient with CVA. The survey was conducted from July 4 to August 30, 1999. Internal validity by calculation of Cronbach's alpha was 0.95, which was regarded as high. The survey results were analyzed using the SPSS program, with percentages, means, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficients. The results of this study are as follows : 1. The level of self care for patients with a CVA was : 1) complete dependence(M=14.9, 13.1%), 2) complete independence(M=23.6, 20.9%), 3) incomplete independence(M=23.9, 21.0%), 4) incomplete dependence(M=26.6, 25.0%), 5) dependence and independence(M=23.0, 20.0%). The items for which there was a high level of self care were : 1) drinking(M=3.62), 2) eating (M=3.25), 3) position returning(M=3.18) : and the items for which there was a low level of self care were : 1) ascending and descending stairs(M=2.08), 2) walking(M=2.47). 3) putting on and taking off trousers(M=2.55). 2. The mean score of the sum of the care needs of the family-caregivers was : 1) need for immediate care and help: 2) need of the way to communicate with patient: 3) need for education and assistance related to physical functional level: 4) need to be informed about the disease, treatment and care: 5) need for social support and consultation: 6) need for appreciation: 7) need for management of nursing problems related to immobility. The highest meed factor was the need for immediate care and help(M=3.47): and lowest need factor was the need for management of nursing problems related to immobility(M=2.80). 3. There were significant differences between the level of care need and general characteristic of the caregivers, there were family-caregivers age(P=0.001), marital status (P=0.276), occupation (P=0.006), monthly income(P=0.000), Patient's relationship to caregivers(P=0.004) and health(P=0.000). 4. There were significant differences between the level of self care and general characteristic of the patients, there were patient paralytic condition(P=0.01), blood pressure(P=0.01), and length of suffering(P=0.03). 5 There were significant differences between the level of care need and the general characteristic factors, which were CVA patient's blood pressure (P=0.05), problem of medical fee (P=0.05). 6. There was significantly correlation with the family-caregivers care need and the level of self care in the CVA patient(r=0.300, P=0.000). As a result, need to promote the level of self care in patients and to meet the care need of family-caregivers for more efficient nursing of CVA patients, is emphasized. Therefore more study is needed on an efficient way to provide rehabilitation and quality nursing interventions for family-caregivers and patients with CVA.

WiFi 신호지도법은 실내 환경을 위한 효과적인 위치 추적 기술로 잘 알려져 있다. 하지만 이 기술은 주어진 공간 전역에 걸쳐 미리 구축된 대용량의 신호지도가 있어야 적용할 수 있다. 또한 이 기술을 적용하기 위해서는 환경이 변함에 따라 전문가에 의해 주기적으로 새로운 신호지도를 구축하거나 변경하는 작업이 필요하다. 최근 들어 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 한 가지 방법으로서, 군중-제공 신호지도 작성 방식이 많은 연구자들의 관심을 모으고 있다. 이 방식은 다수의 자발적인 사용자들로 하여금 특정 공간에서 수집한 자신들의 신호지도를 다른 사람들과 함께 서로 공유할 수 있도록 해준다. 따라서 군중-제공 신호지도 방식을 이용하면 신호지도를 자동으로 최신의 상태로 변경할 수 있다. 하지만, 대부분의 군중-제공 신호지도 작성 시스템들에서는 사용자들이 자신의 위치를 스스로 판단하여 수작업으로 직접 입력하도록 요구하고 있다. 그 뿐만 아니라, 이들 시스템에서는 다수의 사용자들로부터 수집되는 신호지도들 중에서 오류가 있는 것들을 찾아내고 이들을 여과해주는 체계적인 메커니즘을 가지고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 군중-제공 신호지도 작성 및 위치 추적(CMAL) 시스템의 설계에 대해 소개한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 다수의 스마트폰 사용자들로부터 수집된 지역 신호지도들을 이용하여 자동으로 공유 신호지도를 구축/갱신할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 동시에 새로운 신호지도를 이용하여 각 스마트폰 사용자의 위치를 추적할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 본 시스템은 각 스마트폰에서 신호지도를 수집하는 다수의 클라이언트들과, 공유 신호지도 데이터베이스를 관리하는 중앙의 서버로 구성된다. 각 클라이언트에는 스마트폰 사용자의 실시간 위치를 추적하면서 동시에 지역 신호지도를 생성하는 파티클 필터-기반의 WiFi SLAM 엔진을 내장하고 있으며, 서버에는 공유 신호지도의 무결성 유지를 위한 가우시안 보간법 기반의 오류 여과 알고리즘을 채택하고 있다. 다양한 실험들을 수행한 결과를 통해, 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템의 높은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

목적: 지하에 위치한 방사선치료 관련시설 내의 실내공기 질은 근무자뿐만 아니라 장기간 치료받는 환자들의 건강에도 중요하다. 저자들은 근무자들의 빌딩증후군 증상유무의 확인과 함께 실내공기 질과 관련된 여러 인자들을 측정, 분석하여 그 원인을 찾고 해결책을 제시하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 근무자들을 대상으로 자각증상 및 근무환경 인식과 관련된 설문조사를 하였고, 예비조사를 바탕으로 실내공기 질과 관련된 항목들(온 습도, 미세먼지, 이산화탄소, 일산화탄소, 포름알데히드, 총휘발성유기화합물, 라돈)에 대해 근무자들이 주로 머무르는 지역들을 중심으로 일정기간 측정하였다. 아울러 환기(공조) 시스템의 효율 및 주변 환경에 대한 평가를 동시에 진행하였으며, 실외공기와의 비교평가를 위해 1층(실외)에서도 같은 항목들을 측정하였고, 측정 자료들은 국내외 환경관련 기관들의 권고 수치를 기준으로 각각 평가하였다. 결과: 설문조사에서 근무자들은 악취, 습도, 먼지 등에 대해 불만족을 보였으며, 근골격계 증상, 신경계 증상, 점막 자극 증상 등을 주로 호소하였다. 대부분의 실내공기 질 관련 항목들은 기준치를 넘지 않았으나 총휘발성유기화합물 수치가 기존 미국 사무실 측정 수치에 비해 $3{\sim}4$배 높게 나왔다. 환기 횟수나 환기량에서는 문제가 없었으나 실외공기 유입구와 실내공기 배출구의 위치 문제로 인해 오염된 공기의 유입 가능성이 있었다. 총휘발성유기화합물을 배출할 수 있는 현상액과 같은 화학물질의 관리에 주의가 필요했으며, 오염된 공기의 재유입 문제를 해결하기 위해 환기 시스템의 위치조정이 시급한 상황이었다. 결론: 저자들은 실내공기 질에 대한 평가에서 일부 화학물질 및 부적절한 환기 시스템으로 인해 근무자들이 주관적인 증상을 호소할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 지하 공간에서 장시간 거주하는 근무자들의 근무여건 개선과 함께 면역저하를 동반한 환자들의 건강관리를 위해 실내공기 질에 대한 평가는 반드시 필요하며, 그 자료를 바탕으로 향후 방사선종양학과의 설계나 기존 시설의 환경개선 등에 적극적으로 이용해야 하겠다.
