This study was attempted to provide the basic data for nursing intervention to improve the psychosociological adaptation of patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer by examining relationship between anxiety and hopelessness that they are experiencing and family support, in order to help them successfully cope with various psychological problems. This study was carried out with 93 breast cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy in the injection treatment room of K University Hospital located in the downtown of Taegu after having underwent mastectomy in the hospital between December 1995 and August 1996. This study used the systematized questionnaires which contain 7 questions about general characteristics, Spielberger's trait anxiety & state anxiety scale, the tool that WON(1987) modified the hopelessness scale which was developed by Beck et al.(1967) and the family support tool made by TAE(1985). By using the SPSS/PC program, this study obtained the real number and percentage for the general characteristics of the subjects, and mean and standard variation for the degrees of trait anxiety, state anxiety, hopelessness and family support. The correlation between each variables was identified on the basis of the Pearson Correlation, and the degrees of trait anxiety, state anxiety, hopelessness and family support in the general characteristics of the subjects were analyzed by using the t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan test. The results of this study were summarized as follows. In the general characteristics of the subjects, most of each group were 51 years old or more and the middle class in income, had educational background under elementary school, no job, Buddhism in religion and spouse, and were receiving chemotherapy using MTX and 5FU. It was shown that the degree of the subjects' trait anxiety is, on an average, 50. 29, state anxiety 49. 68, hopelessness 51. 46 and family support 34. 28. Both trait anxiety and hopelessness showed normal correlation ; the higher the degree of trait anxiety is, the higher the degree of hopelessness is, while trait anxiety and family support showed reverse correlation ; the higher the degree of trait anxiety, the lower the degree of family support that the subjects perceive is. State anxiety and hopelessness also showed normal correlation ; the higher the degree of state anxiety is, the higher the degree of hopelessness is. Family support and hopelessness showed reverse correlation ; the higher the degree of family support is, the lower the degree of hopelessness that the subjects perceive is. And family support and state anxiety showed reverse correlation but there was a statistically significant difference. The degree of trait anxiety in the general characteristics of the subjects showed a significant difference by age, job and religion, the degree of state anxiety a signigicant difference by job and religion, the degree of hopelessness a signigicant difference by age, educational background and existence or not of spouse. In conclusion, the breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy perceive anxiety and hopelessness due to several causes such as diagnosis itself or side effects of chemotherapy, so that it is required not only to develop specific nursing interventions including family support to alleviate anxiety and hopelessness but also to apply such interventions to clinical practice.

Animal experiments have been widely conducted in the life sciences for more than a century, and have long been a subject of ethical and societal controversy due to the deliberate infliction of harm upon sentient animals. However, the harmful use of animals may also negatively impact the mental health of researchers themselves. We sought to evaluate the anxiety level of researchers engaged in animal use to analyse the mental stress from animal testing. The State Anxiety Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to evaluate how researchers feel when they conduct animal, as opposed to non-animal, based experiments (95 non-animal and 98 animal testing researchers). The Trait Anxiety Scale of STAI was employed to measure proneness to anxiety, namely the base trait of the researchers. Additionally, the information on sex, age, education, income, and total working periods was collected. While the Trait Anxiety scores were comparable ($41.5{\pm}10.9$ versus $42.9{\pm}10.1$, p = 0.3682, t-test), the State Anxiety scores were statistically significantly higher for animal users than non-animal users ($45.1{\pm}10.7$ versus $41.3{\pm}9.4$, p = 0.011). This trend was consistent for both male and female. Notably, younger animal testers (${\leq}30$ years of age) with less work experience (${\leq}2$ years) and lower income level (${\leq}27,000$ USD) exhibited higher anxiety scores, whereas these factors did not affect the anxiety level of non-animal users. The present study demonstrated that participation in animal experiments can negatively impact the mental health of researchers.

Anxiety is a common clinical presentation. Primary anxiety poses a significant problem in its management. Many among the current treatment options of anxiety are habit forming causing significant withdrawal symptoms. There are dose dependent responses often associated with drug adversities. Day time sedation is an undesired effect of many drugs used for anxiety management limiting its usage. Ayurveda recommends a bio- physical procedure to manage anxiety. Shirodhara, a dripping procedure is utilized as a front line therapy for anxiety in Ayurveda. Seeing the limitations of conventional biomedical management of anxiety requiring an improvement upon the existing protocols of managements, and also seeing the use of shirodhara for anxiety management in ayurvedic clinics, a pragmatic study to evaluate the effect of shirodhara in generalized anxiety disorder was done. This was a pragmatic study consisting of shirodhara with ksheer bala oil as an intervention upon generalized anxiety disorder patients. The study was conducted upon 13 patients and observations were done for six weeks. The responses observed through the changes in Hamilton Anxiety Scale were evaluated using paired t test to observe the pre-post significance.

과학 학습 과정에서 유발되는 상태호기심과 상태불안은 학업 수행 및 성취에 많은 영향을 미친다. 상태호기심과 상태불안은 매 순간마다 그 수준이 변할 수 있기 때문에 학습의 전 과정에서 학생의 상태호기심과 상태불안 수준을 파악하여 지도할 필요가 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 과학 학습을 과학 문제 대면, 결과 확인, 과학 개념 학습의 세 상황으로 구분하여 초등학교 5~6학년 학생을 대상으로 자신의 예상과 결과의 일치 여부에 따른 학생들의 상태호기심 및 상태불안 수준의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 문제 대면 후 결과를 확인하는 과정에서 자신의 예상과 일치한 결과에 직면한 nVOE 집단의 상태호기심 수준은 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 자신의 예상과 일치하지 않은 결과에 직면한 VOE 집단의 상태호기심은 증가하였다. VOE 집단 중 결과에 대한 이유를 바르게 추론한 VOE-R 집단의 상태호기심 수준은 유의한 변화가 없었지만 결과에 대한 이유를 바르게 추론하지 못한 VOE-FR 집단의 상태호기심은 증가하였다. 한편 문제의 결과를 확인한 후 VOE 집단과 nVOE 집단의 상태불안은 감소하였으며 VOE-R 집단 역시 상태불안이 감소하였다. 반면 VOE-FR 집단의 상태불안은 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 문제의 결과를 확인한 후 결과에 대한 과학 개념을 학습하는 과정에서 VOE 집단, nVOE 집단, VOE-FR 집단의 상태호기심은 모두 감소하였다. 한편 nVOE 집단의 상태불안 수준은 유의한 변화가 없었지만, VOE 집단, VOE-R 집단, VOE-FR 집단의 상태불안 수준은 감소하였다. 이러한 연구 결과의 교육적 함의에 대하여 논의하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학 학습에서 유발되는 학생의 정서적 상태에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the effects of aroma hand massage on state sanxiety, depression, quality of sleep, and blood pressure levels of palliative patients in hospice. Methods: This study was conducted using a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. The participants were 48 palliative patients in hospice (experimental group: 24, control group: 24). The aroma hand massage was given to the experimental group once a day for 5 days. Data were collected between December 2017 to February 2018. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program with the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test, and repeated measurement analysis of variance(ANOVA). Results: There were significant differences in state anxiety levels (t=2.41, p=.020) and quality of sleep (F=14.29, p<.001). However, significant differences in the levels of depression (t=1.59, p=.119), systolic blood pressure (F=0.37, p=.695), and diastolic blood pressure (F=0.37, p=.695) were observed. The aroma hand massage was effective in improving the quality of sleep and state anxiety levels of palliative patients in a hospice. Conclusion: The aroma hand massage was effective in improving the quality of sleep and state anxiety in a hospice.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a pre-operation video assisted education program on residual urine, gas passing and state anxiety in women undergoing hysterectomy. Methods: Nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was used for the study. In the research, video assisted education program was applied to the experimental group while a similar conventional education was done to the control group. The pre-operation state anxiety and post-operation residual urine and gas discharge of both the groups were measured. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The experimental group was significantly higher than control group on gas passing (t=3.04, p=.00). However the residual urine (t=0.34, p=.73) and state anxiety (t=0.81, p=.82) did not make significant differences. Conclusion: This study is very meaningful in that it developed and provided a nursing intervention can positively affect hysterectomy patients. The pre-operation video assisted education program may be an effective nursing intervention that is clinically practical and useful to reduce time of the gas passing of hysterectomy patients after the operation.
