Factors associated with Hospitalization among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Mi Ra Guk, Ja Yun Choi
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):1-11.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.1
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors and the relative risk associated with admission of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
METHODS
The sample included one hundred twenty-eight patients with type II DM. Seventy-seven patients who were admitted within six months of a hospitalization to one hospital from the first of February to the 31st of August 2014, were compared with fifty-one patients who regularly attended an outpatient clinic and had no hospitalizations.
RESULTS
Hospitalization probabilities among patients who had only diet and exercise or took oral diabetic medication were 0.03 (p=.004) and 0.21 (p=.007) times independently lower than the ones with insulin injection. The risks for hospitalization increases 6.33 times if there is absence of a spouse (p=.027) whereas the presence of a spouse seems to make hospitalization less likely. The risk among the ones having diabetic complications was 5.15 times higher than ones having no recognition of the complications (p=.040). For every one point increase in self-efficacy and every 1 mg/dL increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, there was a 0.84 (p=.005) and a 0.96 (p=.036) decrease in hospitalization risk, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Nurses should be sensitive to the risk groups of hospital admission among patients with DM including no spouse, insulin injection, diabetic complications, low self-efficacy, and low HDL cholesterol.

Factors Influencing Satisfaction with the Emergency Medical Services between Adults and the Elderly
Eunha Gil, Heeyoung Oh
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):12-21.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.12
PURPOSE
The purpose of this secondary data analysis study was to compare what factors influenced individual's satisfaction with emergency medical services (EMS).
METHODS
Data were obtained from the Korea Health Panel Survey 2013 with 20,641 participants. A total sample of emergency room (ER) users (n=1,709) aged 20 and over were selected and divided into two age groups, one for 1,046 adults and the other for 663 elderly. Participants' responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ² test and logistic regression.
RESULTS
Among adults and elderly who were transferred to other hospitals instead of being admitted or returned to their homes reported less satisfaction (χ²=10.18, p=.006). Further, the adults who perceived their arrival to the ER as not delayed (χ²=3.74, p=.049) or visited the ER for treatment for illness (χ²=5.32, p=.021) reported more satisfaction than those who perceived their ER service being delayed or visited the ER for accident or poisoning. The elderly who visited ER by non-ambulance reported higher satisfaction than those who arrived by ambulance (χ²=14.15, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
In both adults and the elderly, satisfaction of EMS can be increased by avoiding transferring patients to other hospital. For adults to be satisfied with EMS, efficient and rapid EMS might be needed to avoid delay in ER arrival, especially for adults with accidents or poisoning.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Unmet Healthcare Needs among Korean Adults with Hypertension
Heeyoung Oh, Eunha Gil
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):22-31.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.22
PURPOSE
The purposes of this secondary analysis study was to examine prevalence, risk factors and unmet healthcare needs among adults with hypertension.
METHODS
A sample of 3,386 adults over the age of 40 with hypertension were drawn from the Korea Health Panel Study (2013). Using SPSS 22.0 version, descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, chi-square and logistic regression were performed.
RESULTS
Results showed that 18.9% of the sample reported unmet healthcare needs with the most frequently cited one was financial burdens (43.2%). The reported experiences of unmet healthcare needs differed by gender, marital status, vision or hearing impairment, memory problem, impaired mobility, subjective health status, total family income, depressive episode and the difficulty in making decisions. The sample participants were more likely to report unmet healthcare if they had vision impairment, low income and perception that their health status as moderate to poor. Those without vision impairment were less likely to report unmet healthcare needs.
CONCLUSION
The identified risk factors of unmet healthcare needs should be addressed which would enhance access both to health care and to resolution of unmet healthcare needs. Since visual ability seems to impact perception of unmet healthcare needs, it may be useful to find ways to address this factor.

Impact of Risk Factors, Autonomy Support and Health Behavior Compliance on the Relapse in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Ae Ran Park, Hyang Sook So, Chi Eun Song
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):32-40.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.32
PURPOSE
The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to identify factors influencing a relapse among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
METHODS
Of 250 participants enrolled in the original study 75 were selected as there was no relapse for more than one year following the initial treatment and 54 were selected because there was a relapse. Data were analyzed using χ² test, t-test or F test to determine if there were any significant differences in the study variables relative to the status of relapse. Predictors were calculated by logistic regression.
RESULTS
Autonomy supported by healthcare providers was the significant predictor for relapse in patients with CAD. Patients with low autonomy supported by healthcare providers was 3.91 times more likely to relapse than patients with high autonomy supported. Patients with diabetes were at greater risk of recurrence.
CONCLUSION
Secondary prevention of CAD is a major task for patients with CAD. Behavioral strategies for cardiovascular risk reduction are essential and autonomy supported by healthcare providers should be included in their strategies.

Attitude toward One's Own Aging among Korean Middle-aged Adults and the Elderly
Ahra Jo, Heeyoung Oh
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):41-50.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.41
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the factors influencing attitude toward one's own aging among Korean middle-aged adults and the elderly.
METHODS
A cross sectional study was performed with a total sample of 70 middle-aged adults and 64 elderly reside in two metropolitan areas. Data were collected from August 2015 to November 2015 using the Perceived Health Status Scale, the Health Locus of Control Scale and the Attitude Toward own Aging (ATOA) Scale. The statistics used include percentage, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
RESULTS
Mean age for each age group were about 52 and 76 years old for middle-aged adults and the elderly respectively. A considerable proportion of all participants reported a negative attitude toward aging. Perceived health status was the common factor influencing attitude toward one's own aging in both age groups. Middle-aged adults identified presence of chronic illness and internal health locus of control as important factors. In contrast, the elderly reported that education and others-dependent health locus of control such as powerful others had a significant impact on ATOA. Each regression model explained 31% and 55% of the total variance of ATOA among middle-aged adults and among the elderly.
CONCLUSION
Both middle-aged adults and the elderly with low perceived health status are at risk of negative ATOA's. The type health locus of control need to be identified and utilized based on individuals' tendency to improve positive ATOA. That is, middle-aged adults might need reinforcement of their self-will whereas the elderly might need enhancement of social support and network of family and healthcare providers.

SunYoung Hong, Heeok Park
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):51-62.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.51
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to provide data about the risk factors related to falls among elderly patients with dementia using meta-analysis.
METHODS
Key words used for search through electronic database (CINAHL, PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, RISS, KISS, DBPIA, National Assembly Library) included ‘ dementia’, ‘ Alzheimer’, ‘ fall’. Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis and ‘ R’ version 3.2.2 was used to analyze the correlated effect size.
RESULTS
Study results showed that risk factors related to falls were identified as the demographic (age, gender, education), dementia-related (disease duration, cognition), physical (body mass index, walking, balance, activity of daily living, use of walking aids, number of medications including psychotropic drugs, musculoskeletal problems, parkinsonism, comorbidity), psychological (neuropsychiatric symptom, depression), environmental (Physical environment), and fall-related (fall history, high risk group of fall) factors. The effect size of risk factors such as high risk group of fall (r=.35), use of walking aids (r=.33), depression (r=.31), psychotropic drugs (r=.27), Musculoskeletal problems (r=.25) were higher than the other risk factors.
CONCLUSION
Based on the findings of this study, strategies to improve elderly patient's depression, intensive care for high risk group of fall, and adequate training with walking aids are needed for prevention of falls in elderly patients with dementia

Yeon Sil Cho, Sue Kyung Sohn
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):63-75.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.63
PURPOSE
This study was to explore and describe the reported experiences of elderly spouses who care their bedridden spouse in the home.
METHODS
The participants of this study were 14 male and female elderly spouses who live in B metropolitan city and have provided care for more than six months. Data were collected from July 3 to November 6, 2014. Data analysis was done simultaneously with data collection, using the analytical methods of Strauss and Corbin for Grounded theory.
RESULTS
The core category was identified as ‘ going together bearing a heavy burden of care in old age.’ In this study, the caring process of elderly spouses can be explained in terms of three stages such as ‘ a period of trial and error,’‘ a period of mastering a role,’ and ‘ a period of role transcendence’.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study can provide an intervention framework to reduce the heavy burden of caring for an elderly spouse.

Mimi Lee, Myungsun Yi
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):76-86.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.76
PURPOSE
The purpose of the study was to provide deep understanding of the reported experiences of families with their loved one in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on interactions with healthcare providers.
METHODS
The data were collected by individual interviews of eleven participants. The transcribed data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify major themes and sub-themes that represented the experiences of families.
RESULTS
Five themes and 13 sub-themes emerged. “Captive of patients' delayed death: Fear and anxiety” describes psychological problems arising when the family member became critically ill enough to warrant being admitted to the ICU. “Families as the weak: Suppression and resistance” describes interpersonal difficulties arisingdue to lack of information and trust with healthcare providers. “Deprivation of authority and duty as families: Helplessness” illustrate situational barriers in attempting to protect and support family member. “Re-establishment of trust relationship with healthcare providers: Gratitude and appreciation” describes how they satisfied with themselves by regaining trust relationship. Lastly, “Acceptance of reality through direct care participation: Relief and peace” illustrates peace of mind by gaining sense of reality through active direct care participation.
CONCLUSION
This study demonstrates the positive and negative experiences of families with ICU patients. The results will be useful in developing family-centered nursing interventions.

Relationship among Sleep Quality, Heart Rate Variability, Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety in Adults
Ju Ah Kim, Seung Wan Kang
Korean J Adult Nurs 2017;29(1):87-97.   Published online February 28, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2017.29.1.87
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among sleep quality, heart rate variability (HRV), fatigue, depression, and anxiety reported by Korean adults.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study of 208 adults aged 20~60 years was conducted using a short-term HRV analysis and self-reported questionnaires of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue Severity Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and State Trait Anxiety Inventory.
RESULTS
Subjects with good sleep quality (PSQI score≤5) had higher HRV total power (t=2.03, p=.043) and high-frequency (t=2.04, p=.043) with lower fatigue (t=−4.08, p < .001), depressive mood (t=−3.66, p < .001), and trait anxiety (t=−3.84, p < .001) than subjects with poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was negatively correlated with HRV total power (r=−.17, p=.016), high-frequency (r=−.14, p=.049), and positively fatigue (r=.39, p < .001), depression (r=.44, p < .001), state anxiety (r=.23, p=.001) and trait anxiety (r=.34, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
The results indicated that sleep quality is correlated with HRV which reflects the activities of the autonomic nerve system, fatigue, depression, and anxiety in adults.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of geriatric syndrome on mortality among community-dwelling older adults in Korea.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the Actual Living Condition of the Elderly and Welfare Need Survey, with a baseline study in 2008 and a 3-year follow-up of mortality data. The mortality risk was measured using the hierarchical Cox proportional hazard model.
RESULTS
In Cox regression analysis, male (Hazard Ratio [HR], 2.53; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 2.12~3.01), old age (HR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.82~2.53), low education level (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04~1.65), limitation in instrumental activities of daily living (HR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.60~2.28), depressive symptoms (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.01~1.43), and frailty (HR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.78~3.03) significantly affected mortality risk.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this study, nursing intervention programs should be provided to decrease preventable death in older adults.
