2.University Students' Health Behavior, Depression, and Ego-resilience.
Journal of Korean Academy of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing 2016;25(2):113-122
PURPOSE: The objectives of the study were to examine university students' health behavior, depression, and ego-resilience in order to understand the relationship between these variables, and to identify factors influencing ego-resilience. METHODS: Data were collected from a sample of 302 students attending G University. The data collection period was from October 28, 2015 to December 21, 2015. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with the SPSS Statistics version 23 Program. RESULTS: The number of close friends was weakly correlated with depression and ego-resilience: specifically, the number of close friends had a weak negative correlation with depression, and a weak positive correlation with ego-resilience. Factors significantly influencing the students' ego-resilience were depression, type of residence, frequency of exercise, and gender, with a total explanatory power of 18%. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that intervention programs to improve ego-resilience should be developed. Research into ego-resilience should be replicated with students from a variety of cultural background and diverse study areas.

3.Effect of College Students' Perceived Stress, Cognitive Response to Stress, and Somatization on Heart Rate Variability
Journal of Korean Biological Nursing Science 2019;21(3):178-187
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate how college students' perceived stress, cognitive stress, and somatization affect their heart rate variability (HRV). METHODS: This study is a cross-sectional survey research on 191 university students, registered at the G University. The perceived stress scale (PSS) and cognitive stress response scale, were used to assess level of stress. The somatization symptom scale of the Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90), was used to assess level of somatization caused by stress. To assess heart rate variability (HRV), we conducted a five-minute test using a pulse wave analyzer, to analyze short-term HRV. RESULTS: The SCL-90 somatization score had relatively high positive correlation (p<.001) with cognitive stress, but low positive correlation (p<.001) with perceived stress. Cognitive stress response had low negative correlation (p<.001) with 1nSDNN and 1nRMSSD among HRV parameters. Perceived stress was not correlated with HRV. Multiple regression analysis showed that variables of perceived stress, cognitive stress, and somatization symptoms, could not explain HRV. By contrast, one of the HRV indicators, 1nSDNN, was affected by age, gender, and aggressive-hostile thought, the latter being a subscale of the cognitive stress response scale. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that stress evaluation for people in early adulthood will be more effective, if the evaluation examines cognitive stress and heart rate variability.

This study was to identify the nursing intervention method in finding out the incidence, risk factor, prevention and treatment of bed sore clients who received regional home care nursing services. The eleven home care nurse practitioners took the survey on 97 patients who received home care nursing service from Seoul City Nurses Association for one month from September 26 to October 26 1996. A modified version of Braden's bed sore assessment tool for bed sore risks and a tool for assessment of bed sore stage and measurement bed sore sizes by Bergstrom, Barden, Laguzza and Holman(1987) were as research tools for this study and a questionnaire with 40 questions and 12 items on nursing activities was used to find out the prevention and treatment of bed sores. Also, two open ended questions were used on current approaches and efforts of the treatment being applied to clients. The finding of the study were summarized as following : 1. The rate of bed sore occurrence was 47.4%. 2. The areas of bed sore occurrence were hip(28.9%), sacrum(18.6%), great trochanter(14.4%) and the average number of sore spots were 2.26. 3. Two groups-one with bed sores and the other without were studied to determine prediction factors for bed sore risks. Sensory function, humidity, level of activity, mobility, nutrition, skin friction and chapping and body temperature turned out to be statistically significant factors for bed sores. Also the age of clients turned out to be a individual characteristic variable significantly affecting the rate of bed sore occurrences. 4. The education for clients and family on systematic skin assessment and bed sores and practice of active/passive R.O.M are mainly used as nursing activities for bed sore care. 5. The treatment method varied by stages of bed sores. Sometimes folk remedies like applying the powders of dried elm tree roots to sores were used. Good nutrition, frequent position change and skin care turned to be the most effective means to fast recovery of sores.

OBJECTIVE: Recently, the incidence of elderly primipara is increasing. Thus, impact of old age on pregnancy outcomes became important. Our purpose was to assess the effect of maternal age on pregnancy outcomes. METHODS: 73 cases of the elderly primipara over 35 years at the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Chon-ju presbyterian medical center, from Jan. 1, 1995 to Dec. 31, 1998, were compared with 73 cases randomly chosen young primiparas during same period. RESULTS: Elderly primipara had higher rate of infertility and spontaneous abortion history, antenatal complications, cesarean section, poorer neonatal outcome than young primipara. CONCLUSION: The pregnancy outcome of elderly primipara is considered to be less favorable than those of young primipara. Careful antenatal and intrapartal care should be performed for the elderly primipara. We think that many clinical study of congenital anomaly in elderly primipara will be necessary.

BACKGROUND: Airway pressure increases during one-lung ventilation compared to two-lung ventilation. We measured the peak inspiratory airway pressure and the actual exhaled volume during one-lung and two-lung ventilation. And then we evaluated the loss of the exhaled volume according to the increase of peak insphatory airway pressure. METHODS: Left-sided double lumen endobronchial tube (male 37 Fr., female 35 Fr.) was inserted in 62 patients and then proper position of double lumen tube was confirmed with the fiberoptic bronchoscopy. After setting the tidal volume (10 ml/kg), respiratory rate 12/min, inspiratory: expiratory ratio (1: 2) and oxygen 2 1/min, we measured exhaled volume and peak inspiratory airway pressure during two-lung and one-lung ventilation in the supine and lateral decubitus position. RESULTS: The increase of the peak inspiratory airway pressure was ranged from 33.7% to 52.1% and exhaled volume decreased 9.5% to 14.8% in one-lung ventilation compared to two-lung ventilation. CONCLUSIONS: The decrease of actual tidal volume according to the increase of peak inspiratory airway pressure during one-lung ventilation would result in carbon dioxide retention. Therefore we should readjust ventilatory setting during one-lung ventilation.

Segmentalization of spinal fixation enhances correction of the coronal plane deformity and allows preservation of normal sagittal contour offering rigid fixation. Purpose of this paper was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of segmental pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis. From 1987 to 1991, 78 idiopathic thoracic scoliosis patients were treated with CD instrumentation. Thirty-one were treated with hooks, 23 with pedicle screws inserted in hook pattern and 24 with segmental pedicle screws. In segmental screw group, the screws were inserted for every other on the convex side. After follow up of minimum 2 years(range:24 to 52 months), the results of coronal, sagittal and rotational correction were compared. Major curve correction was 55% with hooks, 66% with hook pattern screws and 72% with segmental screws, with loss of correction of 6%, 2% and 1% respectively. Compensatory curve correction was 57% with hooks, 67% with hook pattern screws and 70% with segmental screws. In patients with hypokyphosis, all groups showed significant improvement, with best restoration in segmental screws. Rotational correction of the apical vertebra was 19% with hooks, 26% with hook pattern screws and 59% with segmental screws. Thirteen(3%) screws were malpositioned but they did not cause neurologic impairment nor adversely affect the results of treatment. This study implies that the segmental pedicle screw fixation is safe and effective method of correcting the triplanar deformity of the thoracic idiopathic scoliolis.

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing impingement syndrome without rotator cuff tear usually depends on the physical examination and roentgenography, and obtaining objective evidence for this condition is at best difficult. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether quantitatively assessing this condition with using single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) can diagnose impingement syndrome and predict the postoperative results. METHODS: Before executing arthroscopic or open treatment, SPECT was performed on 73 patients and 24 volunteers and these people were followed up for 2 years. Any increased uptake on SPECT was investigated by using the axial view, which demonstrated the greatest uptake for the acromion, distal clavicle, greater tuberosity, lesser tuberosity and the coracoid process of the operated and non-operated sides. RESULTS: The patients who were diagnosed as having impingement syndrome with or without rotator cuff tear showed increased uptake on the operative side compared to the non-operated side in the assessed locations. The greater tuberosity of the humerus could be used for quantitative measurement as a postoperative prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS: The bone SPECT method is useful for making the diagnosis of patients with impingement sydrome, and the results of quantitative assessment at the greater tuberosity can be used for evaluating the prognosis following the operation.
