PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to figure out influences of supervisor's and colleague's supports, nursing work environment, ego-resilience, organizational commitment and burnout on turnover intention of nurses working in general hospitals. METHODS: The data were collected from 379 nurses working in general hospitals with more than 500 beds in S city from July 1 to August 31, 2012. The collected data were analyzed with independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and Hierarchial regression analysis by using SPSS 19.0. RESULTS: In case the subject was young, with work experience of 1~5 years, single, female and position of general nurse, turnover intention was statistically significantly higher. Turnover intention, supervisor's support, nursing work environment, organizational commitment and ego-resilience showed significantly negative correlations, but burnout showed significantly positive correlations. In case of controlling general characteristics, higher correlational variables with turnover intention accounted for 30.2%. CONCLUSION: In order to reduce turnover intention of general nurses who showed higher intention with 1~5 years' work experience, situational variables such as organizational commitment and nursing work environment and interpersonal relation variables such as supervisor's support as well as personal variables such as ego-resilience should all be considered.

BACKGROUND: Ropinirole is a non-ergoline D2 agonist which has a highly selective affinity to D2 receptor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ropinirole in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: Seventy-six cases with PD (Hoehn and Yahr stage II to IV) were included in this trial. Each patient was randomly allocated to receive either ropinirole (n=37) or bromocriptine (n=39) over a 16-week period. All subjects were not optimally controlled on levodopa due to motor fluctuations. The response rate was defined as the percentage of patients who had at least 20% reduction of levodopa doses. The clinical status was also assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), and reduction of off durations. RESULTS: The end-point analysis, on an intention-to-treat basis, revealed significantly higher response rate in the ropinirole group compared with the bromocriptine group (odds ratio 2.995, 95% C.I. (1.157, 7.751)). A statistically significant improvement in CGI was also observed in the ropinirole group (p=0.046). The mean off duration was significantly reduced in the ropinirole group (p=0.0001). Other parameters using the UPDRS motor score or off duration did not show significant differences between the two groups. The overall incidence of adverse effects was not significantly different between the two groups. The most common side effects were dizziness, dyskinesia, and nausea/vomiting. No subjects were withdrawn from the study due to side effects. CONCLUSION: Ropinirole is a safe and well-tolerated drug and provides superior overall efficacy compared with bromocriptine as an adjunct to levodopa. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(2):102~109, 2001)

OBJECTIVE: User satisfaction of nursing information system and its user interface were measured in the S general hospital which new electronic medical record system had been introduced to. The new system had been developed based on nursing job's analysis. METHODS: 487 nurses who were working in the S hospital joined to survey through QUIS (Questionnaire for User Interface Satisfaction) about satisfaction of system they used. There were 4 categories-convenience, rapid response, content/configuration, accuracy of information. Those 4 categories were used analytical factors to know how the users were satisfied with its interface and function through the selected 13 system interfaces. RESULTS: With 9 scales of satisfaction score, we measured the satisfaction that the hardware provided. Terminology and system information got the highest score, and user friendly interface, easiness of learning, system performance in high score order. As like as above, we defined 5 scales of user interface satisfaction score. Content, configuration, information accuracy, convenience, rapid responses were identified as analytic categories. With interface satisfaction aspect, the pages which were reconfigured from physician order page to nurse interface got the highest score. And content and page configuration were acknowledged as the highest place. CONCLUSION: This study showed the nurses were satisfied with nursing information system. Also the trend of system development can be revealed.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common problems in patients undergoing outpatient laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Associated complications range in severity from mild discomfort to hospital admission for dehydration or pulmonary aspiration. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of 2 antiemetics (metoclopramide and ondansetron) with propofol as the induction agent for prophylaxis of postoperative emesis in women undergoing general anesthesia for gynecologic endoscopic surgery. METHODS: One hundred and twenty six healthy women undergoing laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery with general anesthesia were randomized to receive intravenous bolus of saline 2 ml, metoclopramide 10 mg, ondansetron 4 mg prior to induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2~2.5 mg/kg, vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg and maintained with O2, N2O, enflurane, fentanyl 1~2 microgram/kg. The incidence of nausea and vomiting was assessed at recovery room and all patients were contacted 24 hours after discharge. RESULTS: The incidence of PONV showed 11.9% in control group, 11.9% in metoclopramide group and 9.5% in ondansetron group in recovery room. The incidence of PONV showed 14.3% in control group, 14.3% in metoclopramide group and 7.1% in ondansetron group in 24 hours postoperatively. There were no significant differences among the groups. CONCLUSIONS: When propofol was administered by intravenous induction agent, no antiemetic in this study was more efficacious than propofol alone in reducing PONV for women undergoing outpatient laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery.
