PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among nursing students' knowledge, attitudes to advance medical directives and ethics values. METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional and descriptive survey, carried out with 232 students from two schools of nursing, one located in B and C city. Student nurses' knowledge, attitudes for advance medical directives and ethics values were measured using structured self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using t-test or one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS: The scores for knowledge, attitudes for medical advance directives were 7.18 and 3.07, and for ethics values, 3.47. Nursing students' knowledge and attitude showed a significant difference depending on grade. Nursing students' ethics values showed significant differences depending on whether a study on ethics had been completed. A positive correlation was observed between nursing students' knowledge, attitudes for advance medical directives and ethics values. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that basic data for the development of an effective education program on ethics is important in establishing a positive attitude toward advance medical directives and the appropriate ethical values in student nurses.

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to explore the work experience of nurses who transitioned from the patient nursing department to administrative departments.METHODS: The participants were 11 nurses who had worked in departments of human resources, education and training, medical insurance review, information technology, and quality improvement. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews done between December 2017 and July 2018 and were analyzed in terms of Giorgi's phenomenological methodology. The research question was ‘What kind of experience did you have as you transition to a new role from a nurse to a hospital administrative nurse? What are the challenges in carrying out a new role? How do you overcome obstacles and adjust to being a hospital administrative nurse?’RESULTS: The main essence of the administrative nurses' work adjustment experience is represented by six components; 1) Beginning of a new challenge in conflict, 2) Running into barriers, 3) Struggling to take root, 4) Recognizing changes in the hospital, 5) Gradually adjusting to change, 6) Becoming a proficient hospital administrative nurse.CONCLUSION: Based on these findings, it is essential to create systems that enable administrative nurses to adjust to their work without confusion, and continuously develop programs to enhance their competence.

The ureteropelvic junction is one of the most common site of obstruction in the upper urinary tract, though the etiology is still unclear. In the present study, a quantitative histological analysis of the ureteropelvic junction(UPJ) obstruction was performed on 23 patient specimens(10 children, 13 adults) and 14 normal control specimens(6 children, 8 adults). Color image analysis system was employed to examine and compare collagen and smooth muscle components of the lamina muscularis layer. Tissue matrix ratio, that is collagen-to-smooth muscle ratio, was calculated using Bio Scan OPTIMAS Ver 4.02. Relative ratio of lamina propria and lamina muscularis to UPJ was calculated as percentage provided by "Img Pro" computer program. The results showed an increased tissue matrix ratio of 0.68+/-0.42 in the child patient group compared with the value of 0.30+/-0.10 in the child control group(p<0.05), also the increased tissue matrix ratio of 1.45+/-1.67 in the adult patient group compared to 0.48+/-0.25 in the adult control group(p<0.05). But relative ratio of the lamina propria and lamina muscularis to UPJ was not statistically significant for each group(p>0.05). Our findings emphasize a significant increase in the tissue matrix ration(collagen-to-smooth muscle ratio) of the UPJ obstruction.
