  • The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of the clients registered in the department of home health care nursing in a hospital and to analyze nursing intervention activities recorded in charts by application of Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) system. For the descriptive survey study, data were collected by reviewing charts of 572 home health care clients between May, 1997 and July, 2000 at K hospital in Seoul. The average age of the clients was 66 years and the number of clients in their 70s ranked first with 28.2 percent(158 people). The mean length of home care service was 47 days with the highest frequency of less than four weeks (56 %). With regard to medical diagnosis, cancer showed the highest frequency (48%, 271 people), followed by cerebrovascular disease (19%), and pulmonary disease (6.9%). According to analysis of nursing interventions by the NIC system, the most frequently used nursing interventions in level 1 were interventions in the Physiological: Complex domain which were used 3,663 times (33%) among 11,107 total interventions. The Safety domain was the second most frequently used intervention, followed by the Physiological: Basic, and the Behavioral domains. In level 2, the Risk Management class was the most frequently used interventions with 3,108 interventions (27.9%), followed by Drug Management, and Tissue Perfusion Management classes. In level 3 interventions, Vital Sign Monitoring was the most frequently used intervention, 569 times (5.1%), followed by Health Screening, and Neurological Monitoring interventions. In sum, half of the clients in the study had cancer and were in their 70s. The most frequent reason for ending home care was death (40%), followed by readmission (28%). These findings represent clients with severe conditions referred to the home care nursing department as it was a University teaching hospital. Further research on analyzing nursing interventions performed in each institution needs to be conducted to develop a standardized list of nursing interventions to use in home health care settings.

  • A rapid growth of internet and sudden increase of multimedia data demands for high-speed transfer media and if optimizec usage from the interface system. To achieve this level of network bandwidth, multiple NICs for support of high-speed network bandwidth have been developed and studied. Furthermore, the use of multiple NICs can provide high-speed LAN environment without large network environment modification, supports backward compatibility of current system and reduce overhead. However. if system failure is caused by SPOF(Single Point of Failure) fault of large-capacity multiple NICs, incredible loss will be met because it services large capacity of multimedia data, Therefore, to prevent loss coming from faults, we describe 'Fault tolerance of multiple NICs', which use the fault prevention mechanism. Considering inefficiency of availability and serviceability that is occurred with existing TMR, Primary-Standby approach and Watchdog time mechanism, we propose and design the efficient fault tolerance mechanism, which minimize down time as changing of detection period dynamically. Consequently, the fault tolerance mechanism proposed for reducing overhead time when the fault is occurred, should minimize system downtime overall.

  • Although the development of transportation means has realized the right to mobility for the disabled who have difficulty in moving, it can be said that the improvement of the safety of passengers with disabilities that can occur in a car accident is lower than that of ordinary passenger seats. In particular, in the case of a rear-end collision that can occur suddenly, it is a reality that disabled passengers are vulnerable to head and neck injuries. Therefore, in this study, a multi-layer headrest foam that divides the headrest into three parts in the coronal plane was proposed to improve the head and neck injury index of disabled passengers in the vehicle in the event of a rear-end collision of a wheelchair transport vehicle. A range of stress scale factors was selected to give various compressive characteristics of the foam through low-speed rear-end collision analysis through a simple model, and GA optimization was performed by specifying the range as a parameter. Through the optimization result, the phase relationship between HIC and NIC was analyzed according to the compression characteristics of the layers. HIC responded most sensitively to the compression characteristics of the front layer and NIC responded to the compression characteristics of the mid layer, and the compression characteristics of the rear layer showed the lowest. A normal headrest and an optimized multi-layer headrest were placed in the validation model to analyze the low-speed rear-end collision sled test, and HIC and NIC were derived lower in the multi-layer headrest than in the general headrest. The compression behavior of the multi-layer headrest was also clearly shown, and it was verified that the multi-layer headrest was effective in improving the injury index of the head and neck compared to the general headrest.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was cross-mapping unique nursing statements which were identified in the nursing records of patients with six most common cancers in Korea with the standardized nursing languages of NANDA, NIC, NOC and ICNP. Method: The subjects were 72 nursing records which covered 1,502 admission days from August 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003. They were the records of the patients of six most common cancers who were treated at the six 3rd level general hospitals in Busan and Daegu. The unique nursing statements were identified by dividing the statements from the nursing records into the single statements according to their meanings. For cross-mapping, identified unique nursing statements were classified as 'Data(D)' for the subjective, objective data of the patients and the other data such as treatment, admission, discharge, and residence of patient, 'Problem(P)' for nursing problem or diagnosis defined by the nurse's decision, 'Intervention(I)' for nursing intervention for problem solving, and 'Outcome(O)' for patient reaction and results of the provided nursing interventions. Unique nursing statements classified to D, P, I, O were cross-napped by using Microsoft Excel 2000. The statements of D were cross-mapped with ICNP Nursing phenomena, P with NANDA nursing diagnosis and ICNP nursing phenomena, I with NIC and ICNP nursing intervention, and O with NOC and ICNP nursing phenomena Result: The results of this study were as follows. 1. Number of unique nursing statements were 506 in the records of lung cancer patients (18.12%), 480 in stomach cancer(17.19%), 458 in liver cancer(16.40%), 456 in colon cancer (16.33), 457 in breast cancer (16.36%) and 436 in cervix cancer (15.60%). 2. The range of percentage of cross-mapped unique nursing statements with the standardized nursing languages were as follows: P with NANDA nursing diagnosis $87.50{\sim}100%$, I with NIC $59.72{\sim}74.43$, O with NOC $61.05{\sim}72.64%$, and D, P, I and O with ICNP $60.92{\sim}69.95%$. 3. Number of the standardized nursing languages identified in this study were 21(12.66%) from 155 NANDA nursing diagnosis, 76(15.64%) from 486 NIC Nursing interventions, 54(17.47%) from 260 NOC nursing outcomes, and 343(13.03%) from ICNP 2,634. Conclusions: By the results of this study, NANDA, NIC, NOC and ICNP were found that they can be used as the language systems for nursing record and nursing information system for cancer patients. But, further study on the unique nursing statements which were not cross-mapped with the standardized nursing language systems will be necessary.
