Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the communication experience of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in the workplace. Methods: The present study utilized a qualitative approach using focus group interview method. A total of three focus groups of 15 ICU nurses from two university hospitals were formed. The conversations during the focus group interviews were recorded and analyzed through Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: As a result of analyzing participants' conversation, Five theme clusters were elicited, namely, "one-way communication", "differences in the position of senior and junior nurses", "communication crisis", "beginning of understanding", and "movement toward change" out of 15 themes and 138 significant sentences. Conclusion: ICU nurses report having experienced communication crisis because of the one-way communication of the ICU nursing environment and the hierarchical differences in junior and senior nurses' position. Systematic education and continuous training on communication skills need to be provided to improve interpersonal relationship among nurses and work environment in the ICUs.

Background: Communication plays an important role for the well being of patients, families and also health care professionals in cancer care. Conversely, ineffective communication may cause depression, increased anxiety, hopelessness and decreased of quality life for patients, families and also nurses. Objective: This study aimed to explore communication difficulties of pediatric hematology/oncology nurses with patients and their families, as well as their suggestions about communication difficulties. Materials and Methods: It was conducted in a pediatric hematology/oncology hospital in Ankara, Turkey. Qualitative data were collected by focus groups, with 21 pediatric hematology/oncology nursing staff from three groups. Content analysis was used for data analysis. Results: Findings were grouped in three main categories. The first category concerned communication difficulties, assessing problems in responding to questions, ineffective communication and conflicts with the patient's families. The second was about the effects of communication difficulties on nurses and the last main category involved suggestions for empowering nurses with communication difficulties, the theme being related to institutional issues. Conclusions: Nurses experience communication difficulties with children and their families during long hospital stays. Communication difficulties particularly increase during crisis periods, like at the time of first diagnosis, relapse, the terminal stage or on days with special meaning such as holidays. The results obtained indicate that pediatric nurses and the child/family need to be supported, especially during crisis periods. Feeling of empowerment in communication will improve the quality of care by reducing the feelings of exhaustion and incompetence in nurses.

본 연구의 목적은 재가노인지원서비스를 제공하는 종사자를 대상으로 재가노인지원서비스 존립에 대한 위기 인식을 파악하고 정책적, 실천적 제언을 하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 질적 연구방법인 귀납적 내용분석을 기반하여 현재 재가노인지원서비스 존립 위기 인식의 원인과 위기 강화요인이 무엇인지 이로 인해 나타나는 위기 인식과 위기완화를 위한 상호작용, 위기완화 결과 예측은 어떠한지에 대하여 분석하였다. 자료수집을 위해 수도권 00시 재가노인복지협회에 추천된 자발적 참여자 4명을 표본 추출하여 심층면접을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 재가노인지원 센터의 위기관련 주요 요인은 심리적인 측면, 정책적인 측면, 역할 측면의 3가지로 나타났다. 첫째, 정책적인 측면에서 정책변화에 능동적으로 받아들이지 못하였을 뿐만 아니라 변화를 위한 노력에 한계가 있었다. 둘째, 심리적인 측면에서 정체성 혼란과 지역사회에서 부정적인 인식이다. 셋째, 역할 측면에서 기관과 법인, 그리고 협회의 적극적인 역할과 지원의 아쉬움이 있었다.

Purpose : Life-threatening illnesses represent a crisis for individual patients and their families. Little has been made to understand the priorities or perspectives in developing a care plan. This results in poor outcomes, and patients and families return home without being satisfied with the care provided. This study aimed to address nurses' and families' care priorities on patient and family-centered care principles and compare those priorities. Methods : A quantitative comparative descriptive research was conducted. The data were part of a study that was carried out to elicit and compare nurses' and families' perceptions of complying with patient and family-centered care (PFCC) principles in intensive care units (ICU) in Ghana. The respondents were ICU nurses (n=123) and family members of hospitalized patients in the ICU (n=111). The tool for the study was a "modernized version of a hospital self-assessment inventory on PFCC," and data analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0. Results : Nurses and families differed significantly in their priorities of care based on the principles of PFCC. The means and p-values were significantly different for the definition, pattern of care and access to information/education, and the overall total scores of the patient and family-centered care principles (PFCCP) Conclusion : To render care that aligns with the care priority of families and patients in the ICU, nurses must plan care in consultation with their families.

본 연구는 계속 증가하고 있는 케어 수요를 충당하기 위해 영국 정부가 시행해 온 정책과 제도를 살펴보았다. 영국 정부는 최근 케어 수요와 공급 간의 불균형이 초래할 문제를 심각하게 인식하고, 가족과 시장의 적극적인 참여를 유도하고 있다. 이 두 영역에 대해 초기의 의도와는 달리 점차 국가의 적극적인 개입이 이루어지고 있는데, 비공식적 보호자인 케어러에 대해서는 보상과 인정을 주는 형태로, 공식적 보호자인 유급 케어워커에 대해서는 규제와 감독 강화를 통한 질적 통제라는 형태로 정부 기능은 점차 확대되고 있다. 케어러의 지위와 권리 향상을 위해 3가지 법률이 제정되었으며, 유급 인력의 자격 강화를 위해 케어기준법과 그에 기반 한 5가지 공식 기구가 발족되었다. 이러한 제도적 정비 과정에서 영국은 비공식적 보호자에 대해서는 적극적 시민권이란 새로운 이념으로, 유급 케어워커에 대해서는 사회서비스의 현대화 가치라는 이념으로 그 기반을 다지고 있다. 그러나 영국의 케어 정책은 점차 혼자서 살아가기 어려운, 시장에서 케어를 사적으로 구입하기가 어려운 보다 열악한 환경에 놓인 서비스 이용자들을 외면하는 방향으로 나아가고 있다는 비판에 직면하고 있다.

Children with congenital cardiac defects associated with high pulmonary artery pressure may die despite accurate surgery. Postoperative mortality and morbidity have been attributed to acute rises in pulmonary artery pressure and resistance. Acute pulmonary hypertensive crisis is defined as a paroxysmal event in which pulmonary arterial systolic pressure rises to or above systemic levels followed by a rapid fall in systemic pressure and a minor pulmonary hypertensive event is defined as an acute rise in pulmonary arterial pressure to more than 80 % of systemic levels but without a fall in systemic pressure. From Oct. 1988 to Jul. 1989, we experienced 23 patients who showed many pulmonary hypertensive crises after operation in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Children\ulcorner Hospital. Their preoperative PAP/SAPs were 53 to 123 %[mean 93.3%] and diagnoses were VSD[7], TAPVR[5], TGA[4], AVSD[3], MS[1], DORV[1], Truncus arteriosus[1], and AP window[l]. There were 9 deaths among 23 patients and they showed many pulmonary hypertensive crisis episodes during postoperative intensive care, which was managed by sedation, hyperventilation, oxygen, and acidosis correction and which decreased after using tolazoline. In view of our experience, we recommend that pulmonary artery pressure should be monitored in congenital heart defected patient with preoperative pulmonary hypertension to confirm and to manage the pulmonary hypertensive crisis accurately and using tolazoline is helpful in the treatment of pulmonary hypertensive crisis.

Korean government had introduced copayment system as cost sharing to office-based medical care in order to reduce the demand for care in 1986. This review focuses on trends and characteristics of copayment on office-based medical care from 1991 to the end of Jan. 2001. Objectives of this study is ${\circled}1$ to analyse historical trends of copayment on office-based medical care during the last decade, ${\circled}2$ to analyse the effect of copayment introduced to office-based medical care on NHI finance, ${\circled}3$ to analyse the changing trends of the size of copayment in utilizing office-based medical care for the past 10 years, ${\circled}4$ to evaluate the meaning of copayment alteration implemented after the introduction of new prescription system and finally ${\circled}5$ to draw a some policy implications from the results of this review. We found that the main purpose of copayment introduction had been reduction in the expenditure of NHI finance. But, the reduction effect of insurer's expenditure has turned out to be negative and NHI finance has been in crisis after the introduction of new prescription system. Also, the copayment level of the insured has increased actually on a large scale. It seems that the introduction of new prescription system has changed the meanings and its policy implications of copayment system.
