PURPOSE
This study aimed to assess the educational needs that should be considered while developing an occupational education program for nursing students. METHODS Participants included 200 nursing students and 40 nursing professionals. The data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 program, using descriptive statistics, a paired t-test, Kendall's coefficient of concordance, and confirmatory factor analysis. The Borich's Needs Assessment Model, the Locus for Focus Model, and the Jo and Lee's Model also were used. Data were collected from May 1 to 30, 2017 using a structured self-report questionnaire. RESULTS A significant difference was found in scores on ‘important’ and ‘present’ levels of occupational education needs for both nursing students and professionals, on all items of occupational education needs. Results relative to the Borich's model indicated that ‘stress management in the nursing practice fields’ had the highest priority rating among both nursing students (5.65) and nursing professionals (6.40), and ‘establishing my career roadmap’ (6.04) had the highest priority rating in the Jo and Lee's Model. CONCLUSION The present results are expected to be used as baseline data for the development of an occupational education program for nursing students.

The Korean Society of Adult Nursing (KSAN) was founded in 1971. KSAN is dedicated to the development of nursing's knowledge base and specifically in the area of adult nursing. Other goals are knowledge dissemination, promotion of nursing research and education, and the encouragement and support of nurse researchers, nurse educators and nurse practitioners through forums fostering interactions. With more than 1,100 active members in 2011, this year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of KSAN by lookingback at our past, living our present, and pursuing the future. KSAN has six branches nationwide and is governed by an eleven board of directors. KSAN's conferences, held two or three times every year, offer members opportunities to share creative nursing ideas. The Korean Journal of Adult Nursing (KJAN), our bi-monthly Journal, provides innovative ideas in the field of adult nursing for our members through peer-reviewed articles. It was launched in 1989, listed in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) in 2011, and strives to publish the best articles. Each issue of the Journal examines current problems and trends in nursing practice, education, and research. On the occasion of our 40th anniversary, we pledge to continue the development of our society in order to meet the needs of our members, and contribute to expand and extend the knowledge base of adult nursing.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to develop a model that describes factors influencing meaning in life among the middle-aged in Korea, and to verify the appropriateness of the model. METHODS The participants were 424 middle-aged residents of Daegu city, Korea. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire from October 4 to 30, 2010 and analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0 and LISREL 8.30. RESULTS Reported life satisfaction and religion had observed to have a significant direct effect on meaning in life, and coping behavior and self-esteem exhibited significant direct and indirect effect. In addition, depression, economic status, and life stress had a significant indirect effect on meaning in life. Life satisfaction was the most influential factor, and all of these variables explained 53% of the variances in meaning in life among the middle-aged. CONCLUSION The findings from this study add to the body of knowledge about the factors that influence meaning in life and need further study. The variables in this study could be used as part of the assessment of the middle-aged.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of attitude toward elders, cognitive level, and mood state by living arrangements of the elderly. METHOD The subjects consisted of 238 elderly who divided by living arrangements(living alone, living with spouse, living with children). The data were collected by structured questionnaire that included general characteristics, attitude toward elders, MMSE-K and mood state scale, from March to December, 2005. The collected data were analyzed by Windows SPSS program including descriptive statistics, chi-square-test, Fisher's exact test, ANCOVA, Scheffe test and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. RESULTS In MMSE-K and mood state, there were statistically significant differences among the three groups. In depression and anxiety factor of mood state, the living alone group showed higher scores than the other two groups. There was a positive correlation between attitude toward elders and MMSE-K in the elderly living with a spouse group and a negative correlation between MMSE-K and mood state in all three groups. CONCLUSION It is necessary to develop a supportive program for decreasing the risk of health in the elderly and perform a differential approach according to their living arrangementa. Especially, more concern and intervention are needed to be performed for the elderly living in solitude.
PURPOSE
This study examined the mood state, activities of daily living, and attitude toward aging in the elderly according to the existence of a spouse and investigated the relation between these factors. METHOD: The subjects consisted of 190 elderly people, who were classified into two groups: those with and without a spouse. The data was collected from March to December 2004 using a structured questionnaire that included general characteristics, mood states, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and an attitude toward aging scale. The collected data was analyzed using the program SPSS, including descriptive statistics, chi2-test, ANOVA, Scheff's test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULT: 1. There were significant differences between the two groups in mood state (t=-3.349, p=.001), anxiety-depression (t=-3.350, p=.001), and anger (t=p=.003) in the mood state subscales, and in attitude toward aging (t=2.514, p=.013). 2. There was a significant positive correlation between vigor and IADL (r=.253, p=.012) in the elderly with a spouse. 3. When there was a spouse, there was a significant difference according to gender (t=2.587, p=.012) in IADL. Without a spouse, there were significant differences in mood states according to education level (F=3.315, p=.023), in anxiety-depression according to the presence of illness (t=2.156, p=.033), in vigor according to age (F=3.439, p=.020) and education level (F=5.285, p=.002), and in IADL according to monthly income (F=3.322, p=.023) and the presence of illness (t=2.172, p=.032). CONCLUSION: An individualized approach is needed for elderly people that considers living arrangements and the existence of a spouse.
PURPOSE
This study is designed to develop a health promotion program for improvement of health status by means of a change of life-style and health behavior in the elderly. The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for nursing intervention strategies to promote health behaviors. METHOD The health promotion program consisted of health education, group discussion, emotional support, health and telephone counsel. As a quasi-experimental design, the none-quivalent control group pretest-posttest design was utilized for this study. The subjects of this study consisted of 50 people, over 60 years of age attending 2 senior colleges in S city. They were divided into two groups: 24 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group. Data was collected from July 2, 2001 to August 21, 2001. For the analysis, SPSS PC 10.0 Window version was adopted and descriptive analysis, x2-test, t-test, paired t-test, MANOVA were used for data analysis. RESULT The health behavior and life satisfaction of the elderly improved significantly (F=18.305, p=.000 ; F=17.478, p=.000). But there is no significant difference in the perceived health status(F=3.807, p=.057). CONCLUSION The health promotion program is confirmed as proper to promote the health in the elderly. In addition, assessment and support will be simultaneously done to manage the health of the elderly. Finally this study supports intervention for the elderly and provides a basis for further investigations.
This study was undertaken to find out the perception of marital relationship and to understand the typology. The Q-population consisted of 153 statements that were collected and 33 Q-samples were selected. The P-samples for this study were made up of 30 who were married. Each responded to a Q-set of marital relationship according to 9-point scale. The results of Q-sorting were coded and analysed using QUANL PC program. Typological observations were as follows. 1) One in body and spirit type : In type 1, couples had different backgrounds respectively but felt one in body and spirit. 2) Companionship type : 2. Couples had not so much a hierarchial as a horizontal relationship. Couples perceived themselves as interdependent and friends. 3) Adaptation type : Couples readily adapted themselves to a marital relationship. They only depended on their spouses at times and stressed the relationship. Marriage was accepted as destiny rather than choice. On the basis of these results, we suggest: When a marriage is in trouble, that we assess the type of marital relationship in advance and intervene with a proper program. In addition, practical intervention programs need to be developed tailored to the type of subjective perception about the marital relation.
The purpose of this study was to provide fundamental data for nursing intervention by assessing self-esteem and quality of life(QL) in patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The subjects of this study were 60 patients on hemodialysis at H university medical center in Seoul and 56 patients on peritoneal dialysis at B company. The analysis was done by using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe and Stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows: 1. The average self-esteem score was signifi-cantly higher in patients on hemodialysis (27.98) than in patients on peritoneal dialysis (25.64). And there were no statistically significant differences between patients on hemodialysis(128.45) and patients on peritoneal dialysis(122.83) in the scores on QL. Among four factors of QL, hemodiaysis patients showed higher score than peritoneal dialysis patients in all factors. But, only family had statiscally significant differences. Also family showed the highest score in both groups, but psychomental showed the lowest score. 2. In patients on hemodialysis, self-esteem was significantly different by occupation(t=3.122, p=.003) and in patients on peritoneal dialysis by age(F=4.450, p=.007), education level(F=7.458, p=.001) and occupation (t=2.491, p=.017). Also in patients on hemodialysis, QL was significantly different by occupation(t=2.223, p=.033) and in patients on peritoneal dialysis by education level(F=4.007, p=.024), and occupation (t=2.806, p=.007).3. Self-esteem accounted for 36.3% of variance in QL and monthly income accounted for an additional 6.1% of QL in hemodialysis patients by means of stepwise multiple regression analysis. In peritoneal patients, self-esteem accounted for 65.1% and monthly income accounted for an additional 2.7% in QL.
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, health promoting behavior and the quality of life of the patients undergoing hemodialysis. The subjects were 86 patients undergoing hemodialysis in H hospital. The data were collected using a questionnaire. Data collection was done from January 11th to June 16th, 1999. The analysis of data was done by use of descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple regression using the SPSS/PC+ program. The results are as follows:1.The mean of the level of self-esteem was 25.02, the level of health promoting behavior, 120.04 and the level of QOL, 128.09. 2. Test for hypothesis: Hypothesis 1. "The higher the level of self-esteem of the patients undergoing hemodialysis, the higher the level of quality of life will be." was supported(r=.296, p<.01). Hypothesis 2. "The higher the level of health promoting behavior, the higher the level of quality of life will be." was supported (r=.628, p<.001). 3.Health promoting behavior explained 39.5percent of QOL(R2=.395, F=27.040, p<.001). 4. Monthly income(F=3.85, p<.01) and marital status(F=4.64, p<.05) were significantly related to the quality of life In conclusion, this study showed that self-esteem and health promoting behavior may be important factors that can improve the quality of life of the patients undergoing hemodiaysis. This study identified that nursing plans should include these factors to help physical, psychological and social adaptation of the patients undergoing hemodialysis.
