PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship between the needs for hospice care and quality of life in cancer patients. METHODS: Data were collected from 127 cancer patients hospitalized at a university hospital in Chonbuk between October, 2006 to March, 2007. Two instruments were used: cancer patients' need for hospice care, developed by Kang and Kim and quality of life developed by Tae et al. RESULTS: The mean scores were 3.11 out of 4 for hospice care needs, and 5.25 out of 10 for quality of life. The correlation between needs for hospice care and quality of life was moderate and negative (r=-0.395, P<0.01). Among the four groups of needs, physical need was the most strongly correlated with quality of lifer (r=-0.388, P<0.01). The need for hospice care was significantly different according to participants' religion (t=6.02, P<0.05), and duration of disease (F=3.45, P<0.05). Quality of life was significantly different according to participants' monthly income (F=3.38, P<0.05). cancer stage (F=8.10, P<0.01) and chemotherapy (t=6.09, P=0.015). CONCLUSION: The results suggested that the cancer patients' hospice care needs should be answered in order to improve their quality of life. While doing so, participants' characteristic need should also be considered.

We experienced a case of simple pneumonediastinum showing the findings of pleural effusion. Frontal chest radiography showed not only pneumomediastinum but also diffuse haziness with sharp medial margin on left lower lung field, blunting of costophrenic angle, and indistinct contour of diaphragm simulating pleural effusion. CT scan confirmed that these findings arose from the displaced pleura and the associated compression atelectasis by loculated air on the anterior mediastinum.

Hypodipsic hypernatremia is characterized by chronic or recurrent episodes of severe hypernatermia associated with dehydration and a lack of thirst. This constellation of deficits suggests that the syndrome is due to hypodipsia of destruction of the hypothalamic osmoreceptors that regulate thirst and ADH secretion. We report a child with abnormalities of the central nervous system who had hypernatremia and a lack of thirst without detectable abnormalities in the osmoregulation of ADH secretion. The patient was a 11 month old female and her chief complaints were poor oral intake and weight gain. There were recurrent hypernatremia with hyperosmosis and normal level of plasma ADH. With intravenous rehydratin, oral intake was improved and plasma sodium level decreased.

9.Development of Home Hospice Information SystemUsing Personal Digital Assistants: In Association with the Goryeong Health Center.
Journal of Korean Society of Medical Informatics 2008;14(1):65-74
OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on the development of a systematic and efficient information system for effective management of patient data in home hospice care. It is easily implemented in the hospice environment and is based on wired and wireless communications along with mobile computing technology. METHODS: The design of this portable home hospice information system was based on an analysis of the services provided by visiting nurses and on the opinions of users, in accordance with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Guidelines for Cancer Patient Management Program 2005. The system has eight main menus, each of which performs a different function. The system includes the home hospice information system (HHIS), a compact .NET framework, and the health center information system (HCIS). RESULTS: A trial was conducted with three experienced visiting nurses, who each used a personal digital assistant (PDA) loaded with the new system to add patient information. The functions include registering a new patient, performing appropriate nursing service according to established guidelines, based on the patient's condition, and searching data records. The system resulted in a saving of 8.5 minutes in nursing data recording time. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study are expected to help field workers in community nursing to decrease the nursing data recording time by using PDAs.

10.Development and Effects of a Comprehensive Web-Based Nursing Process for Nursing Students.
Journal of Korean Academy of Fundamental Nursing 2011;18(4):497-505
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to develop a comprehensive web-based nursing process program to assist nursing students and to evaluate the effects of the program. METHODS: The system provides nursing students with guidelines based on NNN (NANDA, NOC, NIC) when the nursing students conduct a series of nursing procedures on diagnosis-outcome-intervention for a specific symptom. It also maintains and manages nursing processes actually conducted by students for clinical practices, and provides an environment where the patient information and nursing process can be converted into a formatted document for printing. This web-based program was used to surgical patients from April to June 2011. RESULTS: The overall satisfaction rate was 3.64. The item with the highest score was, 'Do you think a web-based nursing process program is necessary?' (3.87), followed by 'Do you want to use this program when you become a nurse and implement the nursing process?' (3.33). CONCLUSION: These results indicate that implementation of web-based programs needs to be continued as an effective tool, but more research is needed on the best way to implement web-based programs in various clinical setting.
