PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of cognitive-based interventions on the cognitive function of older adults with mild cognitive impairment and conduct a meta-analysis to present basic data based on objective evidence.
METHODS
This study analyzed the effects on older adults' cognitive function based on 21 studies using randomized controlled trials of cognitive-based interventions from 2000 to 2017.
RESULTS
The results demonstrated that the cognitive-based interventions showed statistically significant effects on language, global cognitive function, executive function, memory, visuospatial ability, and attention. All of them showed a medium effect size.
CONCLUSION
A cognitive-based intervention for older adults with mild cognitive impairment needs to be systematically and continuously applied to improve cognitive function. Such interventions can delay and prevent the progress of dementia, which will help in reducing the socioeconomic burden associated with it. In the future, it is necessary to study further, the various variables involved in continuous cognitive training programs.

PURPOSE
This systematic review and meta-analysis provided scientific evidence for oral cryotherapy as a nursing intervention for the prevention of Oral Mucositis (OM) associated with Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
METHODS
The literature search was carried out in July and October 2017. The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and KoreaMed electronic databases were searched using the MeSH keywords “mucositis” and “cryotherapy.” The Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool was used to assess the internal validity of the Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). The selected studies were included in the meta-analysis using Review Manager 5.3.
RESULTS
Among seven RCTs with 264 patients, oral cryotherapy significantly decreased the incidence of OM (Relative Risk [RR]=0.46, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=0.31~0.66), including severe OM (grade 2~4: RR=0.33, 95% CI=0.21~0.52; grade 3~4: RR=0.34, 95% CI, 0.22~0.53), and also reduced the OM severity score (Standardized Mean Difference [SMD]=−0.92, 95% CI=−1.25~−0.58). In addition, the need of intravenous narcotics therapy (RR=0.19, 95% CI=0.07~0.51) and the total parenteral nutrition (RR=0.54, 95% CI=0.35~0.84) were reduced. These results were associated with a significantly reduced length of hospitalization (Weighted Mean Difference [WMD]=−1.22, 95% CI=−2.37~−0.07).
CONCLUSION
Oral cryotherapy is effective and well-tolerated nursing intervention to alleviate OM among patients receiving myeloablative therapy before HSCT. Nurses caring for patients treated with myeloablative therapy should place high priority to prevent OM based on this evidence.

Eun Woo Yoo, Yun Mi Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2018;30(4):376-384.   Published online August 31, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.376
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the health literacy and self-care activities of elderly diabetes patients and identify the effects of mediation of resilience in the relationship between them.
METHODS
A structured self-report questionnaire measuring health literacy, resilience and self-care activities was completed by 145 elderly people aged 65 years or older, who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Pusan National University hospital in Busan city, and who visited the outpatient clinic for endocrinology. Data collection was conducted from February 10, 2017 to March 31, 2017, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.
RESULTS
The subjects' health literacy and resilience (r=.19, p=.023), health literacy and self-care activities (r=.26, p=.001), resilience and self-care activities (r=.39, p < .001) were significantly correlated. Resilience completely mediated in the relationship between health literacy and self-care activities (z=2.37, p=.017).
CONCLUSION
Resilience plays a mediating role in the association among health literacy and self-care activities. It is necessary to develop a variety of intervention programs that can improve resilience in increasing self-care activities.

Factors Influencing Resilience in Hospitalized Patients with Stroke
Jong Kyung Lee, Ji Yeong Yun
Korean J Adult Nurs 2018;30(4):385-393.   Published online August 31, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.385
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing resilience of patients with stroke.
METHODS
A cross-sectional descriptive research design was used. The subjects of this study were 136 hospitalized patients with stroke in Dankook university hospital in Cheonan, Korea. Data were collected from August 2016 to March 2017 using a structured questionnaire including patient's characteristics, depression, uncertainty, social support, self-efficacy, and resilience. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program for descriptive statistics, using independent t-test, one way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
RESULTS
Resilience had a statistically significant relationship with education (t=−2.17, p=.032), duration of diagnosis (F=4.09, p=.019), and mobility (F=4.44, p=.014). Further, depression (r=−.30, p < .001), self-efficacy (r=.44, p < .001), and social support (r=.37, p < .001) were significantly correlated with resilience. In the multiple regression analysis, self-efficacy and social support were statistically significant factors that explained 30.3% of variance of resilience in hospitalized patients with stroke. Depression and uncertainty were not found to be significant.
CONCLUSION
The results of the study indicate that factors influencing resilience are self-efficacy and social support. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for increasing the resilience should include strategies for improving self-efficacy and social support for hospitalized patients with stroke.

Lived Experiences of Elderly Living Alone with Parkinson Disease
Yang Sin Kim, Hee Kyung Kim, Yangsook Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2018;30(4):394-403.   Published online August 31, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.394
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to explore in depth the essential structure and meaning of disease experience for the elderly living alone with Parkinson disease, and provide basic data and grounds for national and social support measures and nursing intervention development for them.
METHODS
In this study, van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was applied, and data were collected from April to September 2015. Participants were 12 elderly people aged over 65 who live alone in Chungcheongnam-do and Daejeon Metropolitan City and have Parkinson disease. Data were collected until saturation through in-depth interviews and participant observations.
RESULTS
Through analysis of the experience of participants of this study, 7 essential themes and 18 investigated themes were derived in the 4 existing bodies of world of life that they experienced. “Can't accept the disease that came after a hard life”, “Catch the hopes”, “Feel painful body and soul because my body does not move at will”, “Want life and death without pain anymore”, “Don't want to reveal my disease to others”, “Look for something to rely on and to feel secure”, and “Want to return the helps that I received from others” were derived.
CONCLUSION
It is suggested that nursing providers must provide individualized nursing intervention, which the elderly living alone with Parkinson disease truly need, through deep sympathy for their disease experience.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.404
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to develop a instrument to evaluate patient safety perception in hospitalized patient and to examine its validity and reliability.
METHODS
For the development of the initial items, the literature was reviewed along with the existing measuring tools. The items were evaluated by experts for content validity. This study was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018. A total of 294 hospitalized patients participated in the study to verify the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency.
RESULTS
The final instrument were derived containing 24 items and 3 factors. There were 10 items on “activities to ensure”, 10 items on “patient's safety practices”, and 4 items on “trust of the medical system.” The criterion-related validity was established using the Patient Measure of Safety (r=.72, p < .001). The Cronbach's α for this instrument was .93.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this study indicate that this instrument has satisfactory validity and reliability. It can quantitatively measure the degree of patient safety awareness of hospitalized patients.

Nam Young Yang, Yong Kwon Yoo, Min Sun Song
Korean J Adult Nurs 2018;30(4):417-425.   Published online August 31, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.417
PURPOSE
The study aimed to investigate the effects of leg strength exercise for elderly women on their muscle strength, flexibility, and frequency of urinary incontinence.
METHODS
The participants were 117 elderly women. The data were collected between June and November 2017. The leg strength exercise was performed for 60 minutes, twice a week, for 24 weeks. Exercise classes were for 60 minutes including 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 40 minutes of strength exercise, and 10 minutes of cool-down exercises. The muscle strength, flexibility, and frequency of urinary incontinence were measured before and after the leg strength exercise. The results were analyzed with χ2 test and, repeated measures ANOVA using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program.
RESULTS
After the leg strength exercise, the leg strength significantly increased after 3 and 6 months each, and the flexibility of the leg significantly increased after 3 months. Additionally, frequency of urination before sleep significantly decreased after 6 months, and frequency of urination during bedtime also decreased. Moreover, frequency of urinary urgency and urge urinary incontinence significantly decreased.
CONCLUSION
The leg strength exercise had a positive effect on elderly women in terms of muscle strength, flexibility, and urinary incontinence. A follow-up study is needed to determine the long-term effects of the leg strength exercise.

An Empowerment Program to Improve Self-Management in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Suk Jeong Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2018;30(4):426-436.   Published online August 31, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2018.30.4.426
PURPOSE
This study aimed to determine the impact of an empowerment program on the self-management, self-efficacy, and quality of life on patients in stages 2~4 of chronic kidney disease that exhibited poor self-management.
METHODS
This study utilized a quasi-experimental design and was carried out from March to September 2014. Participants were assigned conveniently to the experimental (n=26) and the control group (n=27). The empowerment program for the experimental group included two sessions of disease management education, four small group discussions, and four telephone counseling sessions over a three-month period. It was conducted in the context of a self-regulatory process and designed to promote self-management and problem-solving skills. The control group received usual care. The outcome variables were obtained using questionnaires before and after the intervention in both groups. The self-management score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group at the baseline, so it was set as covariate and analyzed by analysis of covariance.
RESULTS
There was a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group in terms of their pre-to post-intervention changes in overall self-management (F=9.21, p=.004), self-efficacy (F=5.81, p=.020), and quality of life.
CONCLUSION
The present empowerment program was found to be appropriate for patients with poor self-management. It led to an improvement in the study outcomes in the short-term. The empowerment of patients with renal insufficiency should be considered to prevent the aggravation of their health-related problems and quality of life.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the relationships between uncertainty in illness, subjective health status, and compliance with sick role behavior according to levels of health literacy in hemodialysis patients.
METHODS
Participants were 172 hemodialysis patients, selected from outpatient dialysis clinics at 9 dialysis centers located in Gwangju metropolitan city and Chonnam province, from October to December 2016. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires that included the Uncertainty in Illness Scale, Subjective Health Status Scale, Sick Role Behavior Scale, and Health Literacy Scale. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program, with χ2-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multivariate analysis of covariance.
RESULTS
The results revealed that uncertainty was negatively correlated with subjective health status (r=−.30, p < .001) and compliance with sick role behavior (r=−.20, p=.012). In addition, compliance with sick role behavior was positively correlated with health literacy (r=.17, p=.034) and subjective health status (r=.24, p=.003). Participants' levels of health literacy differed significantly based on sick role behaviors (F=5.355, p=.006), with a partial eta squared of .070, indicating high explanatory power.
CONCLUSION
This study suggests that hemodialysis patients do not understand health - related medical information appropriately in their daily life. Therefore, efforts should be made to identify the level of health literacy of hemodialysis patients and improve the performance of sick role behaviors.

PURPOSE
The study was aimed to investigate the level of diabetes knowledge and related factors among patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Hyderabad, India.
METHODS
This descriptive study was conducted at CARE Hospital, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, and Magna Hospital in Hyderabad from July to August in 2014. A convenient sample of 200 hospitalized adult patients with DM was recruited. The Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Test with 23 multiple choice items to measure general, insulin, and total DM knowledge was used. Each correctly answered item earns 1 point. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test and one-way ANOVA with SPSS/WIN 23.0 program were used for analysis.
RESULTS
The average age of the 200 study participants was 57.3 years; half of them were female and 81% were married. General DM knowledge was 7.64±2.69 out of 14, insulin knowledge was 3.48±1.92 out of 9, and total DM knowledge was 11.12±4.11 out of 23. Men scored higher than women in general DM knowledge (p=.004), insulin knowledge (p=.062), and total DM knowledge (p=.005). Moreover, significant differences in general, insulin, and total DM knowledge were found in education, incomes, and marital status. The knowledge scores of those performing exercises, having regular physician visits, and having prior diabetes education were significantly higher than those of non-exercisers.
CONCLUSION
The knowledge scores of diabetes patients in India were reported to be low, but several related factors found in this study warranted a development of diabetes self-management program in the future.
