The purpose of this study was to identify the care needs of family-caregivers to the patients with stroke. Subjects were 115 family-caregivers caring for the patients while they were in-patients or out-patients with stroke in two general hospitals and one oriental medicine hospital located in Seoul and Kwang-Ju. The instrument used for this study was made by the researcher on the basis of results of literature review and interviews with family-caregivers, composed of 35 items. Internal validity by calculation of cronbach's alpha with data of respondents was 0.91, which was regarded as high. The Data were analyzed by SAS program, with percentage, mean, t-test, and ANOVA. Factor structures of care needs of family-caregivers were elicited by factor analysis(PCA, Varimax rotation). Datum collection had been from July 1 to August 14, 1997. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The mean score of the sum of the care needs of family-caregivers was 3.96 and the highest-mean item was 'need for immediate care(M=4.77)', and the lowest-mean item was 'need for chaplian's visit (M=2.82)'. 2. Care needs of the family-caregivers were : Need to be informed of the disease, treatment and care ; need of education and assistance related to physical functional level ; need of social support and consultation ; need of management of nursing problem related to immobility ; need of appreciation ; need of the way to communicate with patients ; need of immediate care and help. The highest mean factor was the 'need for immediate care and help(M=4.74)', and the lowest mean factor was the 'need of appreciation(M=3.58)'. 3. The variables influencing the degree of care needs perceived by family-caregivers to the patients with stroke were as follows : There were significant differences between need to be informed of the disease, treatment and care and general characteristic factors, which were family caregiver's sex (p=.0178), caring period(p=.0223) and patient's suffering period(p=.0244). There were significant differences between need of education and assistance related to physical functional level and general characteristic factors, which were patient's paralysis(p=.0177), patient's ADL dependency(p=.0032). There were significant differences between need of social support and consultation and general characteristic factors, which were family caregiver's sex(p=.0055), occupation(p=.0159), religion(p=.0093) and patient's sex(p=.0134). There was significant difference in the degree of need of management of nursing problem related to immobility, according to the patient's ADL dependency(p=.0493). There were significant differences between need of appreciation and general characteristic factors, which were family caregiver's age(p=.0107), sex(p=.0133), and patient's age(p=.0338). There were significant differences between need of the way to communicate with patient and general characteristic factors, which were patient's paralysis(p=.0002) and aphasia(p=.0001). There were significant differences between need of immediate care and help and general characteristic factors, which were family caregiver's caring period(p=.0162) and patient's suffering period(p=.0116). 4. The mean score of patient's ADL dependency was 3. 38 and the highest-mean item was 'ascending and descending stairs(M=4.12)', and the lowest-mean item was 'drinking(M=2.60)'. There was no significant difference in the degrees of care needs related to the patient's ADL dependency. 5. The highest information source of family-caregivers was from the doctors about the disease, treatment and care(26.1%). The second highest one was from mass media(20.8%), and the third one was from the nurses. The above findings may be used as the basic data to seek more efficient way of elevating nursing practice and quality for family-caregivers to the patients with stroke.

본 연구에서는 사전개념 검사 문제를 분석하여 간단한 전기회로 개념에 관한 초등학생들의 오개념 유형을 알아보고, 인지갈등 검사문항으로 자신의 생각과 불일치한 동료 한명과 자유롭게 토론을 한 후의 인지갈등정도와 토론에서 사용한 같은 인지갈등 검사 문항으로 체험을 한 후의 인지갈등정도를 비교하였다. 대도시에 위치한 K초등학교 6학년 7개 학급 264명을 대상으로 학생들의 간단한 전기회로 개념에 관한 오개념 유형을 조사한 결과, 많은 학생들이 전구가 2개의 전기적 단자를 갖고 있음을 모르고 있었으며, 전구의 꼭지를 강조하거나 전지의 +극을 강조하는 경우가 있었고 단일극 모형을 가진 경우도 상당수 나타났다. 전지의 +극에 전구가 옆으로 뉘어져 있고 전선이 꼭지쇠와 전지 -극에 연결된 문항을 인지갈등 검사문항으로 선정하였다. 선정된 인지갈등 검사문항으로 미리 구성한 토론 조에게 동료의 생각을 듣고 학습지에 적도록 한 다음에 자유롭게 토론을 하게 하였으며, 토론을 마친 후에 인지갈등검사를 하였다. 토론 내용을 알아보기 위해서 몇 쌍은 녹음, 녹화하여 프로토콜을 전시하여 학생들의 생각을 알아보았다. 체험은 토론을 하지 않은 같은 학교 6학년 학생으로 짝과 함께 2인 1조로 직접 실험을 하여 인지갈등 정도를 측정하였다. 토론과 체험을 통한 인지갈등 요소별 응답 점수를 비교해 본 결과는 다음과 같다. 토론은 인지적 재평가, 불안, 인식, 흥미 순으로 인지갈등이 높게 나타났고 그 중에서 인지적 재평가가 높게 나타났다. 체험은 인식, 인지적 재평가, 흥미, 불안 순으로 인지갈등이 높게 나타났고 불안의 반응치가 현저하게 낮게 나타났다. 인지갈등 요소별 인지갈등 점수를 살펴보면 흥미, 불안, 인지적 재평가에서는 토론이 체험보다 점수가 높게 나타났다. 특히 불안 요소와 인지적 재평가 요소에서는 토론이 체험보다 점수가 높고 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 그 까닭은 직접 실험으로 확인하지 못하고 토론만 하였기 때문으로 생각된다. 토론집단의 남녀 차이에 따른 인지갈등 요소별 응답 점수를 분석한 결과 남자는 인지갈등 요소별 점수가 인지적 재평가, 인식, 불안, 흥미 순으로 높게 나타났다. 그 중에서 인식의 반응치가 높게 나타난 반면에 흥미 점수가 낮게 나타났다. 여자는 인지적 재평가, 불안, 흥미, 인식 순으로 높게 나타났고 인지적 재평가의 반응치가 그 중에서 높게 나타난 반면에 인식 점수가 낮게 나타났다. 토론으로 인지갈등을 유발했을 때 갈등 요소 중 인지적 재평가에서는 여자가 남자보다 점수가 높고 유의미한 차이를 보였고, 인식에서는 남자가 여자보다 점수가 높고 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 체험집단의 남녀 차이에 따른 인지갈등 요소별 응답 점수를 분석한 결과 체험으로 인지갈등을 일으켰을 때 인식요소를 제외한 흥미, 불안, 인지적 재평가 요소에서 남자가 여자보다 인지갈등 점수가 높게 나왔고, 특히 인지적 재평가 요소에서는 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 그 까닭은 남학생이 여학생보다 직접 실험하고 조작해 보는 경험을 많이 가졌기 때문이라고 생각된다.

학생의 과학 지식 성취도에 대한 장기간의 경향성은 과학 교육 정책의 효율성을 점검하는데 매우 중요한 요인이다. 그러나 지금까지 우리 나라 학생들의 학업 성취도의 경향성을 이해해보려는 진지한 노력이 현실적으로 거의 없었다. 최근까지 한국교원대학교 과학교육연구소에서는 전국에 있는 초 중 고 학생들을 대상으로 학생들의 과학 지식 성취도를 알아보기 위한 연구를 진행시켜왔다. 연구의 첫 단계에서는 평가 문항을 개발하였다. 두 번째 단계에서는 개발된 문항을 전국적으로 투입하고 그 결과를 수집하여 2년간의 변화를 분석하는 것으로써, 이 논문은 두 번째 단계에 관한 내용을 담고있다. 이 연구에서는 권재술 등(1998)이 개발한 국가 수준의 과학 지식 평가 도구를 일부 수정하여 사용하였다. 검사는 1997년 2월과 1999년 3월에 각각 시행하였다. 1997년에는 전국적으로 8,766명의 학생을, 1999년에는 4,398명의 학생을 조사 대상으로 하였다. 조사 대상은 지역별, 성별 등을 고려하여 우리 나라 전체 학생의 모집단을 대표할 수 있는 표본으로 선정되었다. 연구 결과, 2년 동안 초 중 고 학생들의 과학 지식 성취 수준의 서로 다른 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 초등학생의 경우는 성취도가 감소하였으나, 고등학생의 경우는 증가하였고 중학생의 경우는 두 시기에 의미 있는 차이가 없었다. 과학 지식 영역의 하위 영역별 분석 결과를 보면, 초등학생의 경우 개념 체계에 대한 지식 수준은 유의미하게 향상되었으나, 사실과 원리에 관한 지식 수준은 낮아졌다. 반면 고등학생의 경우는 지식 수준이 향상되었으며 특히, 사실 영역에서 크게 향상 되었다. 연구에서는 이 자료를 성별, 지역별, 행동 목표 수준 그리고 검사 문항의 상황 등으로도 나누어서 분석 하였다. 한국교원대학교 과학교육연구소에서 개발한 과학 성취 수준 점검 시스템은 국가 수준에서 학생들의 과학성취도를 점검하는데 효과적인 도구가 될 것이다.

For the purpose of this Study, the situation of Korean costume properties in the collection of overseas museums was investigated through correspondence, interviews with their curators and persons in charge and survey. As results were made about the situation of museum science (conservation) and practical utilization of costume properties. So, the study result were drawn as follows : Krean costume properties unexplaind of 'Korean cultural Properties' could be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York(135 pieces), the Brooklyn Museum of New York(20 pieces), the Newark Museum of New Jersey(15 pieces), and the Victoria Albert Museum of London(100 pieces). Korean costume properties in the collection of over-seas museums mostly fall under the rang of period between the 19th century and the early 20th century and are classified into everyday clothing, wedding costume and armors for the most part. In 1900s, museum in several countries began to collected Korean cultural properties through foreign missionaries or diplomats as well as merchants or travellers in who bought Korean objects. Recently, scholars, traditional Korean costume designerss and diplomatic and consular offices in overseas have donated our Korean costume to many foreign museums. Korean costume properties were largely on display in the dependent display of folklore museums or in a part of exhibition gallery for Asian culture and there were the separate exhibition rooms in museums in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Japan and the United States America. But the size and level of display room for Korean cultural properties is one third as large as that for chinese or Japanese cultual properties. It was found in this study that the traditional Korean costume in the collection of overseas museums was largely recorded only as general items rather than given their proper names. The typical example of misnaming included bridal's Kimono for Wonsam(원삼) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yeonroksaek-bumunsajeokori for Dangeui(당의) and Jissan-gryongwonmunsadurumagi for Kongdali(동달이) in the Okura collection of the Tokyo National Museum, and so on. And the Victoria Albert Museum modified the way of wearing Daenim(대님) and the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka seemed to misplace the ornament of Keanggi(댕기) on Mubok(무복) and Josunjuk(조선족: Chinese-Korean) Museum also misplace hansam(한삼). On the one hand, the Newark museum of New Jersey mixed Chinese armor with the Korean one and the Photohraph of King Kojong(고종) with Chinese one. It is corrected to publish and disseminate the book concering Korean costume in order to inform foreign museums of thed proper names and wearing method of our traditional costumed. The repair of costume before cleaning in the process of conservation treatment can prevent damage likely to occur as the properties of fiber itself are weakened in liquid. It is recommended that western 8-figure stitch and tacking stitch is added to Korean traditional stitching method. Museums in the U.S.A and the U.K are concerned about the aftermath of cleaning it-self, specially conservation treatment may exert on remains and predominantly use the vacuuming method to remove dust or bits of straw before the exhibition beings. But in case of Korea, the dry cleaning and wet cleaning method are used according to the nature and state of a sample costume. This comprehensive cleaning method is gradually developing scientifically but it is expected that those concerned will make a chemical analysis of the solvent to be used and also the more precise test of costume properties will be conducted before cleaning them. A partial study was made here because the scope of study was too broad and vast. It is expected that more studies will be conducted concerning our costume culture under the long-term plan and active support at the government level.

Within the traditional medical delivery system, patients residing in medically vulnerable areas, those with body movement difficulties, and nursing facility residents have had limited access to good healthcare services. However, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides us with a convenient and useful means of overcoming distance and time constraints. ICT is integrated with biomedical science and technology in a way that offers a new high-quality medical service. As a result, rapid technological advancement is expected to play a pivotal role bringing about innovation in a wide range of medical service areas, such as medical management, testing, diagnosis, and treatment; offering new and improved healthcare services; and effecting dramatic changes in current medical services. The increase in aging population and chronic diseases has caused an increase in medical expenses. In response to the increasing demand for efficient healthcare services, a telehealth service based on ICT is being emphasized on a global level. Telehealth services have been implemented especially in pilot projects and system development and technological research. With the service about to be implemented in earnest, it is necessary to study its overall acceptance by consumers, which is expected to contribute to the development and activation of a variety of services. In this sense, the study aims at positively examining the structural relationship among the acceptance factors for telehealth services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected by showing audiovisual material on telehealth services to online panels and requesting them to respond to a structured questionnaire sheet, which is known as the information acceleration method. Among the 1,165 adult respondents, 608 valid samples were finally chosen, while the remaining were excluded because of incomplete answers or allotted time overrun. In order to test the reliability and validity of the assessment scale items, we carried out reliability and factor analyses, and in order to explore the causal relation among potential variables, we conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS 7.0 and SPSS 17.0. The research outcomes are as follows. First, service quality, innovativeness of medical technology, and social influence were shown to affect perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the telehealth service, which was statistically significant, and the two factors had a positive impact on willingness to accept the telehealth service. In addition, social influence had a direct, significant effect on intention to use, which is paralleled by the TAM used in previous research on technology acceptance. This shows that the research model proposed in the study effectively explains the acceptance of the telehealth service. Second, the research model reveals that information privacy concerns had a insignificant impact on perceived ease of use of the telehealth service. From this, it can be gathered that the concerns over information protection and security are reduced further due to advancements in information technology compared to the initial period in the information technology industry, and thus the improvement in quality of medical services appeared to ensure that information privacy concerns did not act as a prohibiting factor in the acceptance of the telehealth service. Thus, if other factors have an enormous impact on ease of use and usefulness, concerns over these results in the initial period of technology acceptance may become irrelevant. However, it is clear that users' information privacy concerns, as other studies have revealed, is a major factor affecting technology acceptance. Thus, caution must be exercised while interpreting the result, and further study is required on the issue. Numerous information technologies with outstanding performance and innovativeness often attract few consumers. A revised bill for those urgently in need of telehealth services is about to be approved in the national assembly. As telemedicine is implemented between doctors and patients, a wide range of systems that will improve the quality of healthcare services will be designed. In this sense, the study on the consumer acceptance of telehealth services is meaningful and offers strong academic evidence. Based on the implications, it can be expected to contribute to the activation of telehealth services. Further study is needed to assess the acceptance factors for telehealth services, such as motivation to remain healthy, health care involvement, knowledge on health, and control of health-related behavior, in order to develop unique services according to the categorization of customers based on health factors. In addition, further study may focus on various theoretical cognitive behavior models other than the TAM, such as the health belief model.

Objectives：This study was conducted to develop a Korean algorithm of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment strategies in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its specific comorbid disorders (e.g. tic disorder, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder). Methods：Based on a literature review and expert consensus, both paper- and web-based survey tools were developed with respect to a comprehensive range of questions. Most options were scored using a 9-point scale for rating the appropriateness of medical decisions. For the other options, the surveyed experts were asked to provide answers (e.g., duration of treatment, aver-age dosage) or check boxes to indicate their preferred answers. The survey was performed on-line in a self-administered manner. Ultimately, 49 Korean child & adolescent psychiatrists, who had been considered experts in the treatment of ADHD, vol untarily completed the questionnaire. In analyzing the responses to items rated using the 9-point scale, consensus on each option was defined as a non-random distribution of scores as determined by a chi-square test. We assigned a categorical rank (first line/preferred choice, second line/alternate choice, third line/usually inappropriate) to each option based on the 95% confidence interval around the mean rating score. Results：Specific medication strategies for key clinical situations in ADHD and its comorbid disorders were indicated and described. We organized the suggested algorithms of ADHD treatment mainly on the basis of the opinions of the Korean experts. The suggested algorithm was constructed according to the templates of the Texas Child & Adolescent medication algorithm Project (CMAP). Conclusion：We have proposed a Korean treatment algorithm for ADHD, both with and without comorbid disorders through expert consensus and a broad literature review. As the tools available for ADHD treatment evolve, this algorithm could be reorganized and modified as required to suit updated scientific and clinical research findings.

과거 우리나라 기업회계기준(K-GAAP)에서 영업이익 산정과 그 구성항목에 구체적인 기준을 두고 이를 엄격히 지켜왔던 것과 달리 한국채택국제회계기준(K-IFRS)에서는 영업이익에 대해 구체적으로 정의하지 않고 있다. 이로 인해 기업들은 각각 다른 방법으로 영업이익을 공시하게 되었고 투자자들은 영업이익이 자본시장에 전달하는 정보의 중요성을 고려할 때 K-IFRS의 영업이익 공시기준이 시장에 혼란을 초래할 수 있다는 우려를 표하였다. 한국회계기준원은 자본시장참여자들의 이러한 지적을 수용하여 2012년 9월 K-GAAP과 동일한 방법으로 영업이익을 산출 공시하도록 하였다. 본 연구는 우리나라 코스닥시장에 상장되어 있는 기업을 대상으로 K-IFRS에 의해 작성된 영업이익과 K-GAAP을 적용하여 작성된 영업이익의 가치관련성 분석을 통해 영업이익 공시정책 변경의 타당성을 검증하였다. K-IFRS를 적용한 코스닥기업 520개를 대상으로 K-IFRS 도입 이전(2010년)과 이후(2011년)의 영업이익의 가치관련성을 분석한 결과 K-IFRS 이전 기간의 영업이익이 더 높은 가치관련성을 가지는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 2011년에 공시된 영업이익(발표영업이익)은 과거의 회계기준으로 환산하여 추정한 영업이익(조정영업이익)에 비해 주가에 대한 설명력이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 전체 표본을 발표영업이익과 조정영업이익의 상대적 크기로 나누어 동일한 분석을 수행한 결과 발표영업이익이 조정영업이익에 비해 높은 집단에 대해서만 영업이익의 가치관련성이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 추가적으로 조정영업이익이 음(-)인 기업 그리고 과거 연속적인 영업손실을 보고한 기업일수록 K-IFRS를 적용하여 조정영업이익에 비해 높은 수준의 발표영업이익을 공시한 것으로 나타나 2011년 손익계산서의 작성 과정에 경영자가 의도적으로 개입하였음을 암시하고 있다. 따라서, K-IFRS의 영업이익 공시에 대한 자본시장의 우려가 실증적으로도 지지되고 있으며, 한국회계기준원의 영업이익 공시정책변경의 타당성을 지지하는 것이다. 또한, 이러한 분석결과는 2011년 영업이익의 공시를 악용하여 코스닥시장의 퇴출위험에서 벗어난 부실기업들에 대한 사후적 조치가 필요함을 시사하고 있다.

This study is aimed at examining the ethical values of EMT students. The results below are based on the revised questionnaires, which can be applicable to EMT from the original questionnaires developed by Lee(1990), with a sample of 124 students consisting of 63 first and 61 second year students, conducted November 2-8, 2001. Data were analyzed using SPSS in terms of means, standard deviations, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results are as follows: 1. In the area of Human life, all subjects showed utilitarian disposition. All respondents perceived the item "When patients recognizing there is no hope for survival ask for euthanasia, it is ethically right to accommodate their opinions." as the most utilitarian item, whereas they perceived the item "When an hopeless patient is on cardiac arrest, it is ethically right to do CPR as the most deontoogical item. 2. In the area of patient relationship, all students of two groups took on deontoogical characteristics, but there were no statistically significant differences between two groups. All students perceived an item "EMT have to keep it secret if patients disclose their suicide intentions and ask for absolute secrecy" the most utilitarian item, whereas they perceived an item "Even though patients act and speak in a very rude manner, EMT people should do their best to provide care for patients." as the most deontoogical item. 3. In the area of task relationship, first year students perceived an item "Given time limitations, it is ethically right to give priority to the patients who can be rehabilitated over the patients who can't be fully recovered." as the most utilitarian item, whereas second year students perceived an item "Under no circumstances should any placebo be administered to patients." as the most utilitarian item. All students perceived an item "When EMT students see an unconscious person lying in the street, they have to give him/her emergency treatment." as the most deontoogical item. 4. In the area of coworker relationship, all students of two groups took on deontoogical disposition, but there were no significant differences between two groups. All students of two groups perceived an item "Suppose you are regarded as the person who would be promoted. However, you think that your coworker is more competent than you. In that case you should tell your supervisor about your coworker." as the most utilitarian item. First year students perceived an item, whereas second year students perceived an item "When you observe coworkers' misconduct at work, it is ethically right to ignore their misdeeds." as the most deontoogical item. 5. This study demonstrated that for the first year students, there is a correlational relationship between areas of human life and task relationship, and between areas of task relationship and coworker relationship, whereas for the second year students, there is a correlational relationship between areas of human life and task relationship. 6. In areas of human life and task relationship, there are significant differences according to attitudes toward EMT and attendance at ethics training sessions. In the area of coworker relationship, there are significant differences according to religion, attendance at ethics training sessions, and a code of ethics. Recommendations for future research, 1. Sample items to measure ethical values and the instrument tailored to the needs of EMT should be developed. 2. A longitudinal study to track ethical value changes according to the amount of work experience is needed. 3. A code of ethics and/or ethics training, which could apply in actual situations, should be implemented.

In this paper, I will examine the variables influencing the Quality of Life of arthritis patients and present basic materials which help arthritis patients have positive thinking in life and ultimately lead a satisfactory life. The subjects for this study are 231 inpatients and outpatients with arthritis living in J and K city in Chonbug Province. For the analysis of collected data I employed the SAS program. The variables for characteristics and the quality of life were analysed by descriptive statistics, T-test and ANOVA, and the relations among variables were analysed through Pearson Correlation; the Regression method was employed to predict the factors affecting quality of life. For the validity of reliance on measuring equipment Cronbach Alpha was used. The results of the study are as follows : (1) The mean score of quality of life of arthritis patients is 3.09(5 in the maximum). The general characteristics which affect the quality of life are age(F=5.13, p=0.0006), standard of education(F=6.49, p=0.0003), marriage status(F=7.77, p=0.0005), monthly pay(F=4.37, p=0.0020), medical benefits (F=4.85, p=0.0087), and supports(F=4.39, p=0.0050). For the disease-related characteristics, there is a significant difference in the 6 items: pain control method(F=5.92, p= 0.0002), physical therapy(F=3.25, p=0.013), whethere or not patients exercise(F=4.62, p=0.0000), regularity of exercise(F=4.79, p=0.0000), frequency of exercise(F=6.29, p=0.0001), and amount of exercise(F=4.62, p=0.0043). Depending on the type of arthritis, there is also a significant difference in the degree of pain felt. The patients with infectious arthritis suffer from pain the most, followed by those with gout, rheumatism and degenerative arthritis, in that order. Although statistics don't show any convincing evidence, those with gout perceive that they are in best health condition, followed by those with rheumatism, degenerative arthritis, and infectious arthritis, in that order(F=2.23, p=0.0669). (2) The quality of life of arthritis patients is correlated positively with perceived health status(r=0.56, p=0.0001), health promoting behavior(r=0.53, p=0.0001), family support (r=0.46, p=0.0001), amount of exercise (r=0.36, p=0.0001), ADL(r=0.36, p=0.0001), HLOC(r=0.32, p=0.0001), frequency of exercise(r=0.32, p=0.0001)in that order, while correlated negatively with the degree of pain felt(r=-0.32, p=0.0001), the number of pain regions(r=-0.19, p= 0.0041), and the duration of pain(r=-0.14, p=0.0279). (3) Regression analysis reveals that the most powerful predictor of the quality of life is perceived health status, which account for 31.11%. The other predictors of the quality of life, which account for 60.22%, are health promoting behavior(16.51%), family support(3.81%), ADL(2.52%), gender(1.86%), the number of family members(1.36%), level of pain(1.24%), duration of pain (1.08%), and level of education(0.67%). The results of the study show that perceived health status and health promoting behavior are the two most important variables. However, considering that the perceived health condition is difficult to control by nursing intervention, it is suggested that the level of expectation for patients, must be decided first, and the health promoting behavior and the family support influencing the quality of life must be taken into account as targets for nursing intervention. As a way of controlling the quality of life, I think that a more comprehensive approach comprising the above important variables along with demographic and general characteristics is needed. I also suggest that we must continue to explore the variables affecting the quality of life and include those variables in nursing intervention.
