목 적: 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 관련요인을 분석하여 암환자가 가지고 있는 신체적, 정신적 문제들에 대한 삶의 질 정보를 획득하고 향후 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질을 개선하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2010년 7월 15일부터 8월 15일까지 대전광역시 내 대학병원에서 방사선 치료를 받은 경험이 있는 환자 107명을 대상으로 다양한 특성과 지지 형태에 대한 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하고 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 결 과: 질환으로 인한 통증이 있는 경우가 65.61점, 질환으로 인한 통증이 없는 경우가 81.87점으로 통증이 없는 경우에서 삶의 질 점수가 높게 나타났고 체중이 감소할수록 삶의 질 점수가 낮아졌으며 경제적 특성에 따른 삶의 질 점수를 비교한 결과 치료기간을 제외한 모든 항목에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(P=0.000). 사회적지지, 가족지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감의 점수가 낮은 경우 삶의 질 점수는 128점 만점에 각각 61.71, 68.77, 71.31, 69.39점으로 나타났으며 반면 지지유형의 점수가 높은 경우 삶의 질 점수는 각각 90.47, 83.29, 90.40, 90.36점으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 대상자의 사회적지지, 가족지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감과 삶의 질 정도의 상관관계를 분석하여 본 결과 사회적지지 0.768, 가족지지 0.596, 의료인지지 0.434, 자아존중감 0.516으로 통계학적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(P<0.01). 삶의 질과 관련이 있는 요인으로는 결혼을 한 경우가 결혼을 하지 않은 경우보다 삶의 질이 증가하였고 직업을 가진 경우가 직업이 없는 경우보다 삶의 질이 증가하여 나타났다. 또한 통증이 있는 경우보다 통증이 없는 경우에서 삶의 질이 증가하였으며 월평균 수입이 증가할수록 삶의 질이 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 사회적지지, 의료인지지가 높을수록 삶의 질은 0.979배, 0.508배 높게 나타났으며 자아존중감이 높을수록 1.667배 삶의 질이 증가하였다. 결 론: 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질은 사회적지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감과 유의한 관련이 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 자아존중감은 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이므로 국가가 정책적으로 질병에 영향이 가지 않는 선의 업무를 부여하여 소득을 창출한다면 자아존중감을 극대화시키는 동시에 경제적 부담을 감소시킬 수 있는 유용한 방법이 될 것이다. 더불어 의료진의 관심과 암환자 가족을 위한 프로그램 등의 기초자료 개발은 암환자와 가족, 더 나아가 의료진 모두가 한마음이 되어 암환자의 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 지표가 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of the structured information on the sleep amount of the patients undergoing open heart surgery. This study has specifically addressed to the Following two basic research questions: (1) Would the structed in formation influence in the reduction of sleep disturbance related to anxiety and Physical stress before and after the operation? and (2) that would be the effects of the structured information on the level of preoperative state anxiety, the hormonal change, and the degree of behavioral change in the patients undergoing an open heart surgery? A Quasi-experimental research was designed to answer these questions with one experimental group and one control group. Subjects in both groups were matched as closely as possible to avoid the effect of the differences inherent to the group characteristics, Baseline data were also. collected on both groups for 7 days prior to the experiment and found that subjects in both groups had comparable sleep patterns, trait anxiety, hormonal levels and behavioral level. A structured information as an experimental input was given to the subjects in the experimental group only. Data were collected and compared between the experimental group and the control group on the sleep amount of the consecutive pre and post operative days, on preoperative state anxiety level, and on hormonal and behavioral changes. To test the effectiveness of the structured information, two main hypotheses and three sub-hypotheses were formulated as follows; Main hypothesis 1: Experimental group which received structured information will have more sleep amount than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Main hypothesis 2: Experimental group with structured information will have more sleep, amount than control group without structured information during the week following the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 1: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the level of State anxiety than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Sub-hypothesis 2 : Experimental group with structured information will have lower hormonal level than control group without stuctured information on the 5th day after the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 3: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the behavioral change level than control group without structured information during the week after the open heart surgery. The research was conducted in a national university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The 53 Subjects who participated in the study were systematically divided into experimental group and control group which was decided by random sampling method. Among 53 subjects, 26 were placed in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Instruments; (1) Structed information: Structured information as an independent variable was constructed by the researcher on the basis of Roy's adaptation model consisting of physiologic needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence needs as related to the sleep and of operational procedures. (2) Sleep amount measure: Sleep amount as main dependent variable was measured by trained nurses through observation on the basis of the established criteria, such as closed or open eyes, regular or irregular respiration, body movement, posture, responses to the light and question, facial expressions and self report after sleep. (3) State anxiety measure: State Anxiety as a sub-dependent variable was measured by Spi-elberger's STAI Anxiety scale, (4) Hormornal change measure: Hormone as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the cortisol level in plasma. (5) Behavior change measure: Behavior as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the Behavior and Mood Rating Scale by Wyatt. The data were collected over a period of four months, from June to October 1981, after the pretest period of two months. For the analysis of the data and test for the hypotheses, the t-test with mean differences and analysis of covariance was used. The result of the test for instruments show as follows: (1) STAI measurement for trait and state anxiety as analyzed by Cronbachs alpha coefficient analysis for item analysis and reliability showed the reliability level at r= .90 r= .91 respectively. (2) Behavior and Mood Rating Scale measurement was analyzed by means of Principal Component Analysis technique. Seven factors retained were anger, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, bizarre behavior, suspicious behavior and emotional withdrawal. Cumulative percentage of each factor was 71.3%. The result of the test for hypotheses show as follows; (1) Main hypothesis, was not supported. The experimental group has 282 minutes of sleep as compared to the 255 minutes of sleep by the control group. Thus the sleep amount was higher in experimental group than in control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (2) Main hypothesis 2 was not supported. The mean sleep amount of the experimental group and control group were 297 minutes and 278 minutes respectively Therefore, the experimental group had more sleep amount as compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. Thus, the main hypothesis 2 was not supported. (3) Sub-hypothesis 1 was not supported. The mean state anxiety of the experimental group and control group were 42.3, 43.9 in scores. Thus, the experimental group had slightly lower state anxiety level than control group, howe-ver, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (4) Sub-hypothesis 2 was not supported. . The mean hormonal level of the experimental group and control group were 338 ㎍ and 440 ㎍ respectively. Thus, the experimental group showed decreased hormonal level than the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (5) Sub-hypothesis 3 was supported. The mean behavioral level of the experimental group and control group were 29.60 and 32.00 respectively in score. Thus, the experimental group showed lower behavioral change level than the control group. The difference was statistically significant at .05 level. In summary, the structured information did not influence the sleep amount, state anxiety or hormonal level of the subjects undergoing an open heart surgery at a statistically significant level, however, it showed a definite trends in their relationships, not least to mention its significant effect shown on behavioral change level. It can further be speculated that a great degree of individual differences in the variables such as sleep amount, state anxiety and fluctuation in hormonal level may partly be responsible for the statistical insensitivity to the experimentation.
우리나라의 갑상선 암이 증가함에 따라서 갑상선 전 절제술 후 고용량 방사성동위원소 치료를 받는 환자 또한 증가하였다. 하지만 치료를 위해서 사용되는 I-131의 경우 반감기가 8.01일 이며 감마선과 베타선을 내는 특징이 있어 타인에게 줄 수 있는 외부 피폭의 영향을 막기 위해 일정기간 동안 환자가 격리병실에 입원하여 치료를 받게 된다. 이틀 내지 사흘 동안의 격리치료를 한 후 퇴원 전 환자의 몸에서 나오는 방사선량이 법적 기준(70 uSv/h)에 만족하는지 확인한 후 퇴원을 하게 된다. 그리고 다음 환자가 입원 시까지 병실 곳곳의 오염도를 확인 한 후 필요 시에는 제염작업을 수행하게 된다. 우리는 이러한 일련의 과정들 상에서 의료진들이 피폭의 영향을 받게 되는 주 요인으로는 환자의 퇴원선량 확인 및 치료병실의 오염도확인과 제염작업시의 피폭으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 환자의 여러 가지 요소들을(환자의 신기능, 연령, 성별, 초기 투여용량, Tg, Tg-ab)정하고 그 인자들을 통해 환자의 퇴원선량 및 치료병실 오염도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 본원에서 2011년 8월 1일부터 2012년 5월 29일까지 입원하여 고용량방사성 요오드 치료를 받은 환자 151명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 환자의 glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 값이 높을수록 퇴원선량이 낮은 상관관계를 보였다(P<0.001).초기 투여용량의 경우 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 미만과 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 이상을 투여 받은 환자군 두 그룹 사이에 평균 퇴원선량을 비교 분석한 결과 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 미만을 투여 받은 환자 군에서 퇴원선량이 유의하게 낮음을 알 수 있었다(

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70
