PURPOSE: This study was done to identify the retention effects of a basic life support training program for nursing students on their attitude, knowledge, and skillfulness. METHODS: A one-group repeated posttest design was employed for this study. The subjects included 44 junior nursing students from Gachon University in Incheon. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire test immediately after, 3 months after, 6 months after, and 9 months after the training respectively from May 2014 through March 2015. RESULTS: The respective attitude, knowledge and skillfulness score on BLS of the nursing students had reduced significantly at 3 months after (p<.001), 6 months after (p<.001), and 9 months after (p<.001, p=.011 for Attitudes) the training compared to immediately after the training. CONCLUSION: Re-training on basic life support for nursing students should be implemented within 3 months for retention of educational effects. Thus, it is recommended that basic life support training programs, including a curriculum for nursing students, is developed to support re-training. And it is expected that the improved skills of nursing students on basic life support would contribute to the successive first aid nursing for patients at risk of cardiac arrest.

BACKGROUND: The smoking rate of Korean male workers is top in the world. To establish the effective smoking cessation strategy, we conducted a study to evaluate the factors associated with smoking and smoking cessation. METHODS: We surveyed 509 male workers in a university hospital about age, marital status, drinking, exercise level and checked their awareness and seriousness for diseases due to smoking, benefits from smoking cessation, motivation derived from massmedi and books and their will to quit smoking by self-administerd questionnaire. RESULTS: The significant factors associated with smoking cessation were higher education (OR=1.85, 95% CI 1.26-2.74), non-religion (OR=0.56, 95% CI 0.38-0.83), drinking (OR=0.40, 95% CI 0.27-0.61), awareness (OR=1.30, 95% CI OR=1.03-3.25) and seriousness (OR=1.29, 95% CI 1.19-1.39) for smoking related disease, benefit (OR=1.21, 95% CI 1.16-1.27), and barrier (OR=0.78, 95% CI 0.74-0.83), motivation (OR=1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.30), and the will to quit smoking (OR=1.70, 95% CI 1.56-1.85). CONCLUSION: This study suggested that effective smoking cessation program should be based on awareness and seriousness due to smoking related diseases, health benefit and barrier to quitting smoking, company's support, the individual's will to quit and various motivation methods.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to know differences of characteristics between presenile and senile patients who were consulted to the department of psychiatry during medical-surgical admission. METHODS: The demographic and clinical data obtained from the medical records of psychiatric consultation in the presenile inpatients with age 50 to 64 years(N=162) and those of the senile inpatients with age over 65 years(N=171) were reviewed and compared. RESULTS: 1) The most common chief complaints for psychiatric consultation in presenile patients were somatic symptoms, anxiety and sleep disturbance in order, while cognitive decline, clouded consciousness and depressed mood were most common in senile patients with statistical significance. 2) The most frequent psychiatric diagnoses after consultation in presenile patients were delirium, mood disorder and substance use disorder in order, while delirium, mood disorder and major neurocognitive disorder were most frequent in senile patients with statistical significance. 3) There were no significant difference in numbers of physical illnesses, while numbers of therapeutic drugs for them were more in senile patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found significant differences between presenile and senile patients on psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses in geropsychiatric consultation. Therefore, more subdivided age-specific approach seems to be needed for the geropsychiatric consultation activities.

Bart's syndrome was initially described as a genodermatosis characterized by congenital localized absence of the skin with blistering and nail deformities 1-3. However, it is considered as any type of epidermolysis bullosa(EB) with localized congenital absence of the skin on the extremities. A 33-day-old fbmale baby was presented with congenital absence of the skin over the left shin and dorsa of both feet which were covered with the thin, translucent, and brown-red glistening membranes. Blistering of the right calf and left great toe nail deformity were also noted. She was diagnosed as a recessive dystrophic EB by the histopathological, ultra- structural and immunomapping studies.
