Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the experience and meaning of falls among care workers caring for the elderly. Methods: The participants comprised 10 care workers in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The data collection period was from September to November 2020, and the data were obtained through individual in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed using the content analysis method of qualitative research. The main interview questions were as follows: First, in the event of a fall, "can you tell us about your experience and how you dealt with the fall?; second, "can you tell us about your role and the role of family members or the center that manages falls that occur outside of nursing visits.", third, "can you tell us about the difficulties in managing falls based on your experience?", and fourth, "how are falls that occur during nursing visits managed?" Results: As a result of analyzing the experiences of nursing care workers of falls while caring for elders in their homes, five main themes were derived. These were understanding the characteristics of the elderly at home, understanding possible emergency situations, providing caring services, minimizing physical harm, and delivering clear information. Conclusion: A significant finding of this study was that care workers who visit and provide care to elders at home confirmed the need for standard guidelines on appropriate responses in the event of a fall at home and the importance of managing emergencies arising from falls among elders at home. These results highlight the need for the development of emergency response education programs, such as programs on fall care among nurses and care workers who provide care to the elderly, and for enhanced understanding of the fall risk of elders who live at home.

Results: The following four components were derived from the experience of caring for children with tic disorder: general perception of tics, negative emotions caused by tics, social deprivation, and living with a child with tics. The following four components were derived from Korean medicine treatment experience for tic disorders: criteria for selecting treatment, awareness of Korean medicine, treatment experience in Korean medicine, and what needs to be improved. Conclusions: According to results of this study, caregivers caring for children with tic disorder experienced negative emotions such as frustration, guilt, and anxiety.

결혼이주를 통한 외국여성의 국내이주가 증가하면서 다양한 질병 및 출산으로 인한 의료기관 방문기회가 증가하고 있으며 의료관광 등 외국인 환자의 국내 의료기관 이용이 활발해 지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 외국인 환자의 증가에 발맞추어 여성전문병원 간호사를 대상으로 외국인 환자에 대한 인식과 돌봄 현황을 파악해 보고자 하였으며 세부적으로 임상현장에서 외국인 산모에게 돌봄을 제공하는 임상간호사의 경험을 파악해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 질적연구방법 중 서사연구 연구방법을 적용하여 다문화 환자 및 자녀를 돌본 경력이 5년 이상인 임상간호사 10명을 대상으로 심층 면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 외국인 환자를 돌본 임상간호사의 경험은 돌봄제공자의 시각에 따라 자민족중심 시각, 수용적 시각, 그리고 문화중심시각으로 나누어 각 시각에 따라 제공되는 간호의 질을 파악해내었다. 특히 타문화에 대한 존중 및 환자 맞춤형 돌봄이 제공되고 있는 경우 돌봄제공자는 스스로를 치료적 돌봄제공자로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 의료현장에서는 타문화에 대한 민감성과 문화중심 돌봄의 필요성에 대한 자각과 교육이 지속적으로 강화되어질 필요가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of mothers caring for children with epilepsy. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and observation from 12 mothers of children with epilepsy. Data were collected from December, 2014 to February, 2015 and analyzed using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to identify essential themes of their experience. Results: The essential themes that fit into the context of the 4-existential grounds of time, body, other people, and space were: Lived time-ongoing influence of the past, living in insecure present, fearful future with no answer; Lived body-bonded body, burned out state; Lived other-burden but also support, shrunken down; Lived space-narrowed range of activity, widened horizon. Conclusion: The findings in this study show in-depth understanding of the hardships of mothers who are caring for children with epilepsy. The beauty and greatness of these mothers are revealed through the analysis of various phenomenological materials such as literary and artistic work reflecting socio-cultural context, as well as vivid care experiences of mothers of children with epilepsy. This will be helpful in increasing understanding of the nature of caregivers' experience for medical professionals dealing with patients and caregivers. Also it helps to improve the understanding of the disease among the general public, followed by a more warming and caring attitude towards patients and family members. Finally, it will enhance psychological well-being and overall quality of life of the epileptic children and their families.
