PURPOSE: This study was done to identify and compare nursing performance including job stress, emotional labor and burnout between nurses who work in comprehensive nursing care service wards and general wards. METHODS: Participants were 187 nurses working in a general hospital in Busan which provides comprehensive nursing care service (comprehensive nursing care service ward: 95, general ward: 92). Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ² test, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the variables between comprehensive nursing care service ward nurses and general ward nurses. Factors influencing burnout were emotional labor in comprehensive nursing care service ward nurses while job stress and emotional labor were the factors influencing burnout in general ward nurses. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicate that comprehensive nursing care service can be a positive delivery system for nurses. Therefore, there is a need for strategies to integrate comprehensive nursing care service systematically.

Microscopic polyangiitis is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis, which may involve multiple organs, but cardiac involvement is relatively rare. We report a case of microscopic polyangiitis with multiple organ involvement, in which myocardial infarction was the early manifestation of the disease. A 53-year-old man presented with sudden papulovesicular eruptions and swellings on the face, posterior neck, dorsa of both hands and fingers, and with diffuse erythematous patches on the back. He had suffered from renal dysfunction, arthralgia, and hypertension for more than 8 years. He had been admitted to the department of cardiology for acute myocardial infarction and had suffered from recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, renal failure, acute pancreatitis and sepsis during the admission. Histopathologically, small-vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis with out granuloma was seen. Direct immunofluorescence showed no immune deposite. A high serum level of P-ANCA was detected by ELISA.

A case of clear cell adenocarcinoma arising in the female urinary bladder, which is accompanied by endometriosis of the urinary bladder and the uterus, is reported. The carcinoma protruded into the vesical lumen as a fungating mass, and had a tubulocyotic pattern. The tumor cell had intracytoplasmic glycogen and electron microscopically short microvilli on their surface, resembling clear cell acenocarcinoma of the female genital tract including ovary. This is the fourth case report of clear cell adenocarcinoma complicating vesical endometriosis, and may support the view that clear cell carcinome arises from endometriosis which, in turn, from the Mullerian remnant.

We described a case of well differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) of the peritoneum in a 68-year-old man because of its rarity. It was incidentally found during operation for renal cell carcinoma. Grossly, the tumor appeared as multiple small granules or nodules on the entire peritoneal surface, including serosa of the intestine, omentum and mesentery. Microscopically, characteristic features are papillary, tubulopapillary or solid architecture lined by single layer of uniform, cytologically bland, cuboidal or polygonal mesothelial cells. The tumor cells were positive for EMA, cytokeratin and vimentin, but negative for CEA on immunohistochemical staining. Ultrastructural study showed characteristic long slender microvilli on the surface and intercellular junctions.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation modeling on the reproductive health behavior of single women with sexual experiences. This study employed Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). METHODS: The data were collected after receipt of consent from 250 single women with sexual experiences, and analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. RESULTS: Model fit indices for the hypothetical model were suitable for the recommended level: x²=362.407, RMR=0.065, RMSEA=0.070, GFI=0.867. TLI=0.927, CFI=0.938, IFI=0.939, and x²/dF=2.237. Intention showed direct effect with the biggest effect being on reproductive health behavior. Attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control were found to have a direct effect on intention. Among them, perceived behavioral control revealed the largest influence. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the TPB is a suitable model in explaining the reproductive health behavior of single women with sexual experience. Strategic plans for educational and intervention programs should be aimed to encourage single women to engage in reproductive health behavior.
