A death due to angle grinder injuries is reported. An angle grinder is a widely used electronic device at a working place or at home. A deceased old man and an angle grinder without a protective guard were found at the living room in his house where he had been renovating. The wound of the victim's head showed an oblique laceration, skull fractures and tearing on the brain, embedded with grinder disk fragments. A small intraparenchymal hematoma was in the midbrain, which could be the cause of the fall leading to the accident. Disreard of the cause of the accident, the absence of a protective guard and removal of one hilt might have contribute to the death of the victim.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the conceptual structure of stressors experienced by nursing students during clinical practice. METHODS: Ten men and 10 women nursing college students were interviewed. The results were 208 ideas. By synthesizing and editing these ideas, the final statement was trimmed down to 39 questions. The next step was to have the participants classify these 39 final questions. They were asked to rate stress scores using a five-point scale. Through multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis yielded dimensions and clusters. RESULTS: Results of the study showed 2 dimensions which were classified as 'interpersonal relationship-practice system' and 'identity-practice environment'. It also yielded 8 clusters which were classified as 'role confusion', 'gender discrimination', 'attitudes of medical personnel and patients', 'comparison between fellow students', 'difference between theory and practice', 'disestablishing the role of practice guide', 'interference with training', and 'problems of the practice environment'. Further, stress factors and stress levels were differentiated depending on the gender of the student. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate that educators who are developing clinical practice programs and clinical practitioners should consider stressors during clinical practice and the educational implications to nursing students.

Purpose: This study aims to find ways to reduce the reality shock of newly graduated nurses by exploring the relationship between nursing practice readiness, social support from clinical nurse educators, and reality shock. Methods: From August 24 to September 13, 2023, data were collected from 134 newly graduated nurses with less than 12 months of clinical experience, who were trained by clinical nurse educators at one general hospital and two tertiary hospitals in I City and G Province. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 28.0 program. Results: Reality shock was negatively correlated with nursing practice readiness (r=-.50, p<.001) and social support (r=-.19, p=.03), while nursing practice readiness was positively correlated with social support (r=.37, p<.001). Nursing practice readiness was identified as a significant predictor of reality shock in newly graduated nurses (β=-.46, p<.001), accounting for 31% of the variance in reality shock (F=18.82, p<.001). Conclusion To alleviate the reality shock of newly graduated nurses, it is important to improve their practice readiness and ensure systematic, continuous education for clinical nurse educators.

BACKGROUND: Neurofibiomat,osis type 1(NF-1) is a multisystemic disorder of genetic ori gin, affecting one in every 3000 to 4000 people. It is clinically important in the aspect of dermatology, pediatrics, orthopedic surgery, neurology, neurosurgery and ophthalmology. OBJECTIVE: The purpore of this study was to elucidate the clinical characteristics of NF-1 in Korean people. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective study on 112 patients which were compatible to the diagnostic criteria of Riccardi and Neurofibromatosis Conference Statement. The results were compared with other western studies. RESULTS: The age of onset, sex ratio, family history of neurofibromatosis, and clinica features of cafe-au-lait spot, neurofibroma, and axillary freckinings did not differed from western countries. However, some characterist,ics of NF 1(e.g. Lisch nodule) were not as sessed in the most of the cases and incomplete evaluations of the systemic diseases wen found. CONCLUSION: In this study t.he clinial features of NF-1 did not differ from western coun tries in many aspects. A more intensive evaluation of patient,s status is needed to manag; NF-1 patients appropritely.
