Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate agitation in home-dwelling persons with dementia and coping behaviors of primary family care-givers to agitation. Methods: The research was designed as a descriptive study. A total of two hundred and five subjects had participated in this study. To measure agitation in persons with dementia, Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory was used. To measure coping behaviors of primary family care-givers to the agitation, a questionnaire was used. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test were used to answer the research objectives. Results: 'Repetitive mannerisms' and 'repeating sentences' were the most commonly occurred agitation in home-dwelling persons with dementia. 'Leaving the situation', 'allowing certain time', and 'soothing by talking' were the most common coping behaviors occurred in primary care-givers. Conclusion: The findings of the current study would provide meaningful data to develop nursing programs to control agitation for home-dwelling persons with dementia and education programs for primary care-givers to cope with persons' agitation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data about agitation in patients with dementia by surveying the literature. Method: Key words used for search through hand-search and electronic database (CINHAL, Pubmed, Google scholar, Riss, Kiss, DBpia) included 'dementia', 'Alzheimer disease', 'agitation', 'aggression or aggressive behavior', 'problem or disruptive behavior', and 'abnormal behavior.' Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria for the Meta-analysis and 'R' version 3.2.2 was used to analyze the correlated effect size. Results: Study results showed that variables related to agitation were identified as the demographic (age, gender), dementia-related (cognition, medication uses), physical (Activity of Daily Living [ADL], pain), psychological (depression, psychotic symptom, caregiver burden) and environmental (psychosocial environment) factors. The effect size between the correlated variables and agitation were low to moderate (caregiver burden .36; ADL -.24; psychotic symptom and depression .21; pain .19; cognition -.15; medication uses .12; and psychosocial environment -.12). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, strategies to improve patients' depressive and psychotic symptoms and ADL and to reduce caregivers' burden are needed for prevention and management of agitation in patients with dementia.

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to assess the quality and to evaluate the effectiveness of music interventions in reducing agitation in older adults with dementia. Methods: Randomized controlled studies and randomized crossover studies were identified by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, AGELINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Korea Med, Kmbase, RISS, National Assembly Digital Library, KISS, and RICH. Two reviewers independently retrieved articles, extracted data, and assessed the quality of studies. Results: In total, 10 studies were selected from 1095 unique citations. All included studies were conducted in long term care settings. Overall, risk of bias for included studies was low to moderate. The weighted average effect size across studies was -0.39 (95%CI [-0.69, -0.10], p=.009, $I^2=63%$). Music therapy was effective to reduce agitation of the older adults with dementia. Conclusion: Music intervention can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for the reduction of agitation in dementia. Future studies need to use rigorous research method and to provide description of research methods in greater detail. In addition, future studies are required to explore the effects of music therapy according to severity of agitation and dementia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of aromatherapy on agitation in patients with dementia using a meta-analysis and systemic literature review. Methods: The EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and other databases were searched up to November 2017. Results: Of 419 publications identified, 12 met inclusion criteria, and 9 studies were used to estimate the effect size of aromatherapy. A total of 837 participants across all studies were included. The commonly applied methods were massage (50%), type of oil lavender (75%), and instrument Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (75%). A medium effect size of aromatherapy on agitation was identified (d=-0.56, $I^2=65.0%$, p=.001). The massage group has lower effect size than the other group (d=-0.98, $I^2=0.0%$, p=.001). Conclusion: Aromatherapy appears to be effective in improving agitation in patients with dementia. However, further studies for home-dwelling patients with dementia and with different types of aroma oil should be conducted in the future. In addition, research with well-designed are needed to assess the effects or aromatherapy on agitation.

Severe sepsis is the most common cause of death among critically ill patients in non-coronary intensive care units. In 2002, the guideline titled "Surviving Sepsis Campaign" was published by American and European Critical Care Medicine to decrease the mortality of severe sepsis and septic shock patients, which has been the basis of the treatment for those patients. After the first revised guidelines were published on 2008, the most current version was published in 2013 based on the updated literature of until fall 2012. Other important revised guidelines in critical care field such as 'Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit' were revised in 2013. This article will review the revised guidelines and several additional interesting published papers of until March 2014, including the part of ventilator-induced lung injury and the preventive strategies.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of an intervention using voice recording of family members on pain, anxiety, and agitation in patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation. Methods: A randomized control pre-post experimental design was implemented to 53 participants, with 27 and 26 participants in the experimental and control groups, respectively. A 70-second voice recording of a family member, repeated three times at 10-minute intervals was used as an intervention for the experimental group. Meanwhile, participants in the control group used headset for 30 minutes. Structured instruments were utilized to measure pain, anxiety, agitation, and the weaning process. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test and the Mann-Whitney U test, or χ² test, were used for data analysis. Results: The experimental group exhibited significant decrease in pain (Z = - 3.53, p < .001), anxiety (t = 5.45, p < .001), and agitation (Z = - 2.99, p = .003) scores compared with those of the control group. However, there was no significant difference between groups in the weaning process' simplification (χ² = 0.63, p = .727). Conclusion: Intervention using family members' voice recording effectively reduces pain, anxiety, and agitation in patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation. This can be actively utilized to provide a more comfortable process for patients.

연구목적 본 연구에서는 섬망 증상 조절을 위한 항정신병약물 처방에 영향을 주는 임상적 특징을 알아보고자 한다. 방 법 연세대학교 원주세브란스 기독병원에 입원하여 정신건강의학과에 협진 의뢰된 환자 중, 일반신체질환에 의한 섬망으로 진단된 185명을 대상으로 후향적 의무기록을 조사하였다. 항정신병약물을 사용한 군과 사용하지 않은 군으로 구분하여 임상적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 항정신병약물 사용군은 129명(66.5%)으로 정신과약물 사용력이 많았다. 특히 벤조디아제핀계 약물 사용력에서 두 군 간에 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 섬망평가척도 대다수에서 항정신병약물 사용군이 높은 점수를 보였다. 결 론 항정신병약물 사용군은 섬망의 외현 증상이 두드러지며 기저에 벤조디아제핀계 약물 복용력이 높았다. 이는 벤조디아제핀이 섬망의 경과와 외현 증상에 영향을 주었을 가능성이 있다. 임상 현장에서 예후에 영향을 줄 수 있는 섬망의 임상적 특징에 대한 이해가 축적되어야 할 것이다.

우울의 존재나 정도를 양적으로 측정하고 평가하기 위한 한국형 자가평가 우울척도를 연구 개발하기 위하여 1994년 8월 부터 1995년 6월까지 검사 당시 정상적인 사회 활동에 참여하고 있는 중학교, 고등학교 및 대학교 학생 그리고 일반 성인 및 그 가족을 중심으로 남자 173명(51.8%), 여자 161명(48.2%)으로 총 334명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들에게 Zung의 자가평가 우울척도를 한국형으로 번안하여 조사 방법으로 시행하였다. 본 조사에서 수집된 자료는 종합 검토하여 불충분한 자료를 제거하고 SPSS의 프로그램을 통해서 분석하였다. 문항 분석을 시행하여 각 문항간의 상관관계 및 문항 내적 상관도를 구하여 SDS의 신뢰도를 검증한 후, SDS의 문항 구성에 대한 내용을 알아 보기 위해 요인분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 전체 우울 접수의 평균은 $40.60{\pm}8.66$이였고, 전체 우울 점수의 분포는 50점 이상인 경우가 11.1%(37명)이었다. 본 척도의 신뢰도 검증에서는 검사-재검사의 신뢰도 계수는 0.82(p < .001), 항목-전체간의 상관계수의 평균치는 0.42(0.08-0.65), 내적 일관성은 0.84(p < .001)을 나타내어서 모두 통계적으로 의미있는 신뢰도를 보여주었다. 요인분석에서는 5개의 요인이 추출되었는데, 이러한 점은 우울이 여러가지 요소로 구성되어 있을 가능성도 시사한다. 우울척도에서 항목별로 높게 평가한 상위 문항들은 혼동, 우유부단, 성욕감소, 일주기성 변화 및 정신운동 지연 등의 순서이었고, 항목별 하위 문항은 자살사고의 반추, 정신운동 흥분, 변비, 과민성 및 체중감소 등의 항목이었다.
