OBJECTIVEData collected during a period of six years in implementation of the Health VI Project sponsored by the World Bank were used to analyze maternal mortality rates (MMR) at county level and its related factors, so as to decrease MMR further.
METHODSRoutine data on maternal deaths, as well as its related economic, social and cultural factors, during 1995 to 2000 were collected at county level, and univariate analysis was conducted for them.
RESULTSAverage MMR reduced remakably by 51.33% from 159.74/100 000 in 1995 to 77.75/100 000 in 2000 in the areas with implementation of the Health VI Project. However, there was still a gap in MMR between the Project areas and the nation as a whole. MMR correlated with local topography, economic and cultural levels, traffic and communication, health resource, and quality of obstetric care service.
CONCLUSIONSIn order to lower MMR further, it is necessary to increase financial investment for health, to improve health care service establishments, to strengthen health education for pregnant women and to increase their health awareness so as to improve their use of maternal care and health care services, to improve quality of obstetric care service, to strengthen training for health professionals and to improve their knowledge and skills, and to accelerate construction of traffic and communication.

OBJECTIVE: Currently, preparation for childbirth is becoming an increasingly popular addition to patient education. Because of this interest, it seems advisable to review the evidence on the effect of prepared childbirth. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Lamaze preparation on labor and delivery. METHODS: To investigate whether prepared-childbirth courses offer measurable physical advantages, we compared the labor and delivery characteristics of 80 primiparas who had taken Lamaze-training classes with 76 control patients who had not. We reviewed retrospectively obstetrical records of 156 pregnant women delivered in Ewha Womans University MokDong Hospital from January to December, 1997. RESULT: The length of the first stage of labor in the group that attended childbirth preparation classes was 5.70 hours and 6.93 hours in the comparison group. This difference was statistically significant (P= .040). The mean duration of the second stage of labor in attenders was 42.43 minutes and 41.16 minutes in the nonattenders(P= .719). Average duration of labor in attenders was 1.07 hours shorter than in nonattenders (P= .075). The cesarean section rate in attenders was 25% compared with 36.8% in nonattenders (P= .10920). CONCLUSION: No statistical significance was found in this study. However we need to be aware that the length of first stage of labor was shorter and the rate of cesarean section was lower in prepared group. Childbirth education should be integrated into prenatal health care to be readily available for all women.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of an educational program on pregnancy and delivery including pregnancy related knowledge, newborn care knowledge, and postpartum care self-efficacy for married immigrant women. METHODS: A nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used. The educational program was developed by though an educational need assessment of married immigrant women and an expert opinion. The program was provided for 3 weeks, once a week for two hours. The data were analyzed with SPSS program using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, chi-square-test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test. RESULTS: The program significantly improved pregnancy related knowledge, newborn care knowledge, and postpartum care self-efficacy for the married immigrant women who participated in the program compared to the women who did not. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the educational program has an affirmative effect on pregnancy related knowledge, knowledge of newborn care, and postpartum care self-efficacy in these women. It is suggested, therefore, that the educational program be used to every married immigrant woman at the public health centers or delivery clinics help them to adjust to the childbearing and childrearing experience and this will ultimately enhance the quality of family life of married immigrant women in Korea.

Introduction:
There is currently a lack of validated tools that
measure knowledge level as an outcome of the educational
component of cardiac rehabilitation programs in our local
setting. The researchers aim to culturally adapt and validate
a questionnaire that was designed to assess patients’
knowledge about coronary artery disease and participation
in cardiac rehabilitation programs, the second version
of the Coronary Artery Disease Education Questionnaire
(CADE-Q II).
Methods:
Qualified translators did two independent
translations of the questionnaire. After back translation, the
questions were reviewed and modified by a committee of
experts. The final Filipino version was tested in a pilot study.
For psychometric validation the tool was administered to
109 patients enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Criterion validity was assessed with regards to differences
in educational attainment and patient characteristics.
Spearman rank was used to correlate patient’s level of
knowledge with number of sessions attended. Internal
consistency was assessed by use of cronbach’s alpha.
Results:
The final version of the questionnaire had 30
questions arranged in five domains consisting of medical
condition, risk factors, exercise, nutrition, and psychosocial
risk. Patients who were college graduates had significantly
higher mean scores than non college graduates. The
number of cardiac rehab sessions attended had a weak
but statistically significant correlation with knowledge.
(spearman rho 0.35, p=0.007). The overall internal consistency
of the questionnaire was good (α=0.75)
Conclusion
The CADE-Q II questionnaire cross culturally
adapted in Filipino is a valid and reliable tool which can
be used to assess Filipino patients’ knowledge about
their disease when participating in cardiac rehabilitation
programs.

PURPOSE: This study was done to determine how a hospital life guidance movie enhanced the understanding of hospital life by elderly in-patients. METHOD: A non-equivalent control group post-test design was used for the study. The experimental group watched a movie on guidance for hospital life while an in-patient control group read corresponding guidance booklets. The understanding and satisfaction from the respective programs for the two groups were surveyed with a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: The group which watched the movie had a better understanding of hospital life than the group which read the booklets. The patients who watched the movie also expressed more satisfaction with their guide program than the patients who only read the booklets. Understanding of hospital life had relevance to satisfaction with the given program. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggests that a movie on hospital life provides better guidance which helps the prospective patients understand and adapt better to their hospital life. Therefore, this type of movie is considered to be an effective medium to provide guidance to elderly in-patients.
