Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2010;16(1):17-25
PURPOSE: This study was to investigate the relationship among emotional intelligence, self-efficacy and job stress of nurses. METHOD: Data was collected from convenient sample of 265 nurses who work for a university hospital in a city. The Questionnaire measured the level of emotional intelligence, self-efficacy and job stress of nurses. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, scheffe' test, pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression. RESULT: The mean score of emotional intelligence was 3.41(+/-.37), self-efficacy was 3.27(+/-.45) and job stress was 3.35(+/-.65). There were significant differences on self-efficacy according to age, marital status and education level. And there were significant differences on job stress according to age, working unit. It was a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. The emotional intelligence and self-efficacy were significantly negative correlation with job stress. The emotional intelligence explained 24.8% of self-efficacy and 1.9% of job stress and self-efficacy explained 2.7% of job stress. And the self-efficacy was showed a mediate variable between emotional intelligence and job stress.

5.Effect of Mirror Therapy on the Balance, Gait and Motor Function in Patients with Subacute Stroke
Journal of Korean Physical Therapy 2021;33(2):62-68
Purpose:
This study examined whether mirror therapy could improve the balance, gait, and motor function of patients with subacute stroke.
Methods:
Thirty-three patients with subacute stroke were divided randomly into three groups: experimental group1, experimental group2, and the control group. The patients in experimental group1 performed a mirror therapy program on the unaffected side of the lower extremities, and the patients in experimental group2 performed mirror therapy on the affected side of the lower extremities. Both groups performed the exercise for 30 minutes per session, five times a week for four weeks. The control group did not receive mirror therapy. BBS, POMA, 10MWT, and the BRS were used to evaluate the balance, the quality of gait, gait speed, and the motor function before and after the intervention.
Results:
The gait speed increased significantly in the experimental groups1 and 2 after the intervention. The control group showed no significant difference in the gait speed after the intervention. The change in gait speed before and after the intervention showed a significant difference among the groups. Experimental group1 showed a significant increase in the gait speed compared to that of the control group.
Conclusion
This study suggests that mirror therapy could be an effective intervention to improve the gait speed of patients with subacute stroke. On the other hand, there was no difference in the effectiveness of mirror therapy and therapeutic exercise on the balance, gait, and motor function.

Much attention has been paid to the insertion of central venous catheter(CVC) but their removal is a subject discussed rarely. After removal of a central venous catheter, rare but potentially life-threatening, transient cardiopulmonary collapse or neurological dysfunction had developed. The failure to appreciate these complications may be a significant factor in their high mortality. Early recognition and treatment may be made possible by a high index of suspicion. In this report, the clinical courses of two patients with central venous catheter removal distress syndrome are reviewed. Also guidelines for safe removal of CVC are formulated. An awareness of potential CVC removal complications is most important for their prevention and timely treatment. CVCs should be removed with the same degree of meticulous attention to detail that accompanies their insertion. Medical personnel should be reminded that removal of the catheter is an integral component of CVC management.

PURPOSE: The increased prevalence and incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the elderly has become a worldwide phenomenon. New cases of ESRD are growing faster among people aged older than 70 years. We studied in order to investigate the survival rate, technical survival rate, causes of death and the predictors of death in patient starting hemodialysis aged over 70 years. METHODS: We analyze 34 patients who started hemodialysis as an initial replacement therapy for chronic renal failure in Kangnung Asan Hospital between July 1996 and July 2001. Demographic and clinical characteristics, including diabetes mellitus and laboratory findings at the beginning of hemodialysis were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects were followed up until the point of assessment, the time of death or withdrawal from dialysis. The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. In order to determine independent predictors of death, we used Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 74.5 years and sex ratio was 2.4:1 (M:F). The most common cause of ESRD was diabetes (35.5%) and obstructive uropathy was second. The mean follow-up period was 18.6+/-2.5 months and cardiac problems were major causes of death (37.5%). The survival rate of 34 patients was 84.9% at 1 year, 72.8% at 2 year and 56.6% at 5 years. The technical survival rate of 34 patients was 54.7% at 1 year, 48.6% at 2 year and 30.1% at 4 years. The predictors of death were found to be (i) age starting hemodialysis (RR=1.685, p=0.018) (ii) female (RR=18.5, p=0.028) (iii) low initial hemoglobin level (RR 0.233, p=0.009). CONCLUSION: Very elderly ESRD patients on dialysis have a relatively good outcome and age is not barrier to dialysis. Measures to improve quality of life of elderly hemodialysis patients may favorably influence their survival.

Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association 1999;38(4):747-753
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine whether MMPI scores could discriminate between normal group and exaggerated pain group and predict treatment prognosis in exaggerated pain group. METHODS: For psychological evaluation, MMPI was administered to 37 low back pain patients and 36 normal controls. MMPI findings in two groups were compared, using t-test and discriminant function analysis. Nineteen patients of exaggerated low back pain group contacted by telephone were questioned about treatment satisfaction degree. And satisfaction group(9 patients)nd dissatisfaction group(6 patients)s MMPI findings were compared. RESULT: Hy, Hs, D scale scores in exaggerated pain group were higher than in control group. In discriminant function analysis by Hs, Hy, and D, percent of correctly classified 'gouped' cases was 74%. Discriminant function of Hy scale was the highest and that of D scale was the lowest. In satisfaction degree study, no finding was significant. CONCLUSION: MMPI findings were effective in discriminating between exaggerated pain group and normal control group. Further researches will need more structured and comprehensive approach.
