PURPOSE: The study was done to identify relations among sense of humor, self-esteem, and performance in nurses. METHODS: Data were collected by questionnaires from 198 nurses in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. Measures were sense of humor, self-esteem, and performance. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 13.0 version. RESULTS: This study shows that performance of nurses has significant difference according to age, marriage, education level, income and clinical experience. The performance of nurses has positive correlation with their sense of humor and self-esteem. The higher clinical experience, sense of humor, and self-esteem they have, the better performance they make. The factors that affect performance of nurses are clinical experience, sense of humor and self-esteem. The degree of explanation is 36.5%. CONCLUSION: Knowing that sense of humor and self-esteem of nurse are significant factors which can cause nurses' better performance, we suggest an education program that can help nurses to develop and manage their sense of humor.

The propose of this study was to identify fatigue, pain and coping of pain and to compare the variables between fibromyalgia and chronic arthritis. The sample consisted of 133 patients who visited H university hospital. Data were collected by questionnaire from May 1 to September 30, 1999. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. chi-test. pearson correlation coefficient. and ANOVA. As a results, most of all patients felt fatigue and the mean score of the fatigue was above average. The mean score of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia patients on pain was higher than Osteoarthritis patients. and there was the statistically significant difference among three groups on pain(F=10.63. p=0.00). There was also the statistical difference among three groups on coping of pain(F=4.74, p=0.01). The mean score of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia patients on coping of pain was higher than Osteoarthritis patients. Fatigue showed positive relationship with pain(r= .262, p= .002). and pain showed positive relationship with coping of pain(r=.319. p=.000). According to this finding, fibromyalgia patients and rheumatoid arthritis patients felt high fatigue and pain, therefore the development of nursing intervention for relieving fatigue and pain would be needed.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of local hyperthermia on contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and elucidate it's mechanism through assessment of number of epidermal LCs and transfer of spleen cells. Depilated dorsal skin of mouse was immersed into controlled water bath at 52 ℃ for 30 seconds in vivo. The number of epidermal LCs was counted by adenosine triphosphate staining, and CHS to 2,4-dinitro-l-fluorobenzene was assessed by ear swelling and transfer of spleen cells. The number of LCs was significantly reduced 1 to 3 days after the hyperthermia treatment and recovered to normal 5 days after the treatment. CHS was significantly suppressed in mice sensitized 5,7, or 10 days after hyperthermia treatment, but the suppression was meager in mice sensitized 1 or 3 days after the treatment. There is a discord between the number of LCs and degree of CHS. When mice received spleen cells from hyporesponsive donors, CHS was remarkably sup-pressed in the recipient mice compared with positive control. These findings suggest that tfeatment of local hyperthermia suppress CHS in mice, which may be associated with the induction of suppressor cells. The nature of the discord between the the number of LCs and degree of CHS in this investigation remains to be cleared by further studies.

Korean Journal of Occupational Health Nursing 2012;21(3):258-265
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of job stress and empowerment on nursing performance of clinical nurses working in small and medium hospital. METHODS: The empirical data were collected from a self-administered survey using a structured questionnaire with 404 nurses working in 4 medium-sized hospitals (less than 300 beds), located in I-city. The data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. RESULTS: There were significant differences in nursing performance depending on general characteristics (age, marital status, religion, shift work, education level, position, clinical experience, department, and monthly salary). Empowerment correlated with nursing performance. Factors influencing on nursing performance were empowerment, clinical experience, job stress, and marital status with R2 value of 36.3%. The most influencing factor was empowerment (beta=.47), followed by clinical experience (beta=.24), job stress (beta=.20), and marriage (beta=.12). CONCLUSION: It is needed to implement specific empowerment strategy, control job stress, and reward experienced and married nurses working in medium-sized hospital for improving nursing task performance.

Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing 2000;12(4):560-572
This study was designed to offer descriptive data for nursing intervention for relief of fatigue and pain, and to distinguish by the characteristic difference and the symptoms such as fatigue and pain on Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Fibromyalgia(FM), and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) patients. The sample consisted of 92 patients(AS 29; FM 30; SLE 33) who visited H-University Rheumatism Hospital in Seoul. The data were collected by a structured questionnaire from May 1, 1999 to April 30, 2000. The results were as follows: Patients of 95% experienced fatigue in the last week and a fatigue score of three disease groups were above average. The fatigue score of FM patients was highest in the other disease, but which was not a statistically significant difference(F=1.417, p=.248). The mean score of AS and FM patients in pain was higher than the SLE patients, and there was the statistical significance among the three groups on pain (F=8.239, p=.001). There wasn't a statistical difference among three groups on coping wtih pain(F=1.451, p=.240). There wasn't any correlation between fatigue and pain in each disease (AS: r=.008, p=.966; FM: r=.328, p=.077; SLE: r=.237,p=.185). Therefore, morning stiffness and pain management during sleeping is needed through good body alignment in the AS patients. Adequate rest for fatigue and multiple coping strategies for pain maybe basic nursing intervention in FM and SLE. According to their fatigue rhythm, a regular exercise program is needed for rheumatic disease because they complained of fatigue above average and their fatigue was repeated better and worse only during the one week.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Many dental clinicians are concerned about immediate loading of inserted implants. However, there have been few clinical studies surveying the success rates of immediate loading, based on Korean implant systems. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of immediate functional loading of the implant (SinusQuick(TM) EB, Neobiotech Co., Seoul, Korea) in partially edentulous maxilla or mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Total 15 implants were placed. Within 2 weeks after implant insertion, provisional implant-supported fixed partial dentures were delivered to the patients. Quantitatively, marginal bone loss was measured at the time of immediate loading, after 3-months of continued loading and at the last follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 4.8 months. RESULTS: Mean marginal bone loss from implant surgery to early loading, 3-months follow-up and last follow-up was 0.03 +/- 0.07 mm, 0.16 +/- 0.17 mm and 0.29 +/- 0.19 mm. No implant failed up to 6 months after insertion, resulting in a 100% survival rate. CONCLUSION: Immediate loading exhibited high success rate in partial edentulism for up to 6 months. Well-controlled long term clinical studies with large sample size are necessary to confirm this finding.

The endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology may add to the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic biopsy and brush cytology. It is also of particular value in submucosal, infiltrative and ulceronecrotic tumors. Endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology was done with sclerotherapy needle(23 gauge) in. the 17 patients with submucosal tumor(18 cases), extrinsic compression(2 cases), infiltrative gastric cancer(one case) and cancer of the ampulla of Vater(one case) on the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology established the diagnosis in 6 cases(submucosal tumor of the stomach; 2 cases, submucosal tumor of the duodenum; one case, extrinsic mass of the duodenum; one case, infiltrative cancer of the stomach; one case, and the cancer of ampulla of Vater; one case) of 17 cases. There were negative results for malignancy in 7 cases and material insufficiency in 4 cases. Five cases of the positive results with endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology were not diagnosed with endoscopic forceps biopsies. There was no complication. We conclude that endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology is a simple and safe technique and is of particular value in submucosal tumor, extrinsic compression of the upper gastrointestinal tract by tumor, and infiltrative gastric cancer.

Journal of the Korean Society of Coloproctology 2002;18(1):7-9
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of anatomic anal stenosis in patients with chronic anal fissure (CAF) and ascertain the results of lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) using a new calibrator. METHODS: Ninety-eight adults with CAF and a control group of 40 normal adults underwent anal calibration under spinal anesthesia. The calibrator was a conical design and the diameter was scaled in increments of 1 mm. The calibration was standardized and the reliability of it was assessed by two independent examiners for the same group (n=45). Confounding effects of age, sex, body weight, and height on the anal caliber were studied. The internal sphincter was divided to the level of the dentate line during LIS. RESULTS: The anal caliber was 34.6 +/- 1.4 mm (mean +/- SD) in the control group and 28.7 +/- 3.0 mm (mean +/- SD) in patients with CAF. Excellent correlation was obtained between the two examiners (r=0.958). The confounding effects of age, sex, body weight, and height were not significant. Therefore, anal stenosis was defined as when the measurement was 31 mm or below (mean-2SD of control value). Stenosis was present in 82 of 98 patients (84%) with CAF. Patients with stenosis had an anal caliber of 27.9 +/- 2.5 mm, with a range of 21 to 31 mm. Following LIS, 91 of 98 patients (93%) with CAF attained the normal range, two patients still had stenosis, and five patients had an anal caliber exceeding the normal value. CONCLUSIONS: Anatomic anal stenosis was found in 84% of the patients with CAF. Ninety three percent of these patients attained a normal anal caliber, 2 percent of the patients still had stenosis and 5 percent of the patients had an anal caliber exceeding the normal value after LIS.
