PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of nutritional status and its risk factors in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
METHODS
Participants included 136 patients with COPD in Donga University hospital and Haeundae paik hospital in Busan city. The data, collected by a trained research assistant from January 10 to July 18, 2017, were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 21.0.
RESULTS
Among the 136 patients with COPD, 31 (22.8%) had abnormal nutritional status. According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, gender (Odds Ratio [OR]=5.27, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.18~23.49, p=.029), percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1%] (OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.92~0.99, p=.012), symptom experience (OR=16.19, 95% CI=3.08~85.00, p=.001), carbohydrate intake (OR=1.01, 95% CI=1.00~1.02, p=.037), protein intake (OR=1.06, 95% CI=0.90~0.99, p=.012), and fat intake (OR=1.04, 95% CI=1.01-1.08, p=.015) were associated with nutritional status in patients with COPD.
CONCLUSION
In order to improve the nutrutional status of COPD patients, nursing education is needed with intensive screen on female patients and patients with low lung function, managing symptoms and increasing protein intake.

PURPOSE
Standardized patient-based simulation is known to be a useful tool in the training of nursing students; however, few studies have examined the use of this method in oncology nursing education. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an oncology nursing simulation program that used standardized patients on knowledge, nursing performance ability, and satisfaction among nursing students.
METHODS
This study used a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental group (n=25) participated in an 8-hour oncology nursing simulation program that consisted of a lecture (2 hours) and a four-session simulation program(6 hours). The control group (n=29) received case-based learning (6 hours) and a lecture (2 hours). Knowledge level was assessed with a 33-item knowledge assessment multiple-choice questionnaire. Nursing performance ability was assessed with a nursing performance ability checklist. Educational satisfaction was evaluated using the 12-item Course Satisfaction Evaluation tool. Data were collected from June to July of 2012 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and repeated measures analysis of variance.
RESULTS
The experimental group showed significantly higher nursing performance ability and satisfaction compared with the control group. Knowledge of oncology nursing increased in both the experimental and control groups.
CONCLUSION
An oncology nursing simulation program was more effective than case-based learning in improving nursing student performance and was found to produce high satisfaction.

PURPOSE
This study explored the level of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment and identified the effects of hope, meaning in life, and social support on PTG.
METHODS
A sample of 165 participants was surveyed in a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from January 17, 2018 to April 9, 2018 using self-report structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program.
RESULTS
The mean score for PTG in stroke patients was 2.82±1.14 (range 0~5). Living with family (t=−2.37, p=.019), having a religion (t=2.91 p=.004), higher income (F=8.94, p<.001), shorter period in stroke diagnosis (≤6 month) (F=3.88, p=.010), having no speech defect (t=−2.24, p=.026), and good functional status (F=3.99, p=.020) were associated with higher PTG. The higher levels of hope (r=.73, p<.001), higher meaning in life (r=.64, p<.001), and higher social support (r=.49, p<.001) were related to higher PTG. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that hope (β=.43, p<.001), meaning in life (β=.25, p=.001), and social support (β=.12, p=.044) were effective factors of PTG in stroke patients. These variables accounted for 42%p of the variance in PTG (F=20.52, p<.001).
CONCLUSION
The study provides insights into how hope, meaning in life, and social support promote PTG in stroke patients. To increase PTG in stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment, health care providers should consider developing intervention programs to help increase hope, meaning in life, and social support.

PURPOSE
The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between person-centered care, nursing workplace spirituality, stress for elderly care, and nursing practice environment and to identify factors associated with person-centered care in long-term care hospital nurses.
METHODS
The participants of this study were nurses at long-term care hospitals in Jeollabuk-do and Chungcheongnan-do. Data was collected between July 20 and August 20, 2018 from questionnaire responses received 171 nurses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and enter multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 22.0 program.
RESULTS
The mean score of person-centered care was 2.98±0.55 out of 5 points, nursing workplace spirituality scored 4.83±0.78 out of 7 points, stress for elderly care scored 2.96±0.37 out of 4 points, and nursing practice environment scored 2.40±0.42 out of 4 points. Person-centered care showed statistically significant positive correlations with nursing workplace spirituality (r=.51, p<.001) and nursing practice environment (r=.63, p<.001). Nursing practice environment showed a significant positive correlation with nursing workplace spirituality (r=.49, p<.001). Nursing practice environment, nursing workplace spirituality, and years of experience as nurse were significantly associated with person-centered care in long-term care hospital nurses.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this study, strategies are needed to improve the nursing practice environment and nursing workplace spirituality in order to enhance the person-centered care of long-term care hospital nurses. Moreover, it is necessary to explore educational measures to strengthen the person-centered care skills according to nursing career.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify the predictive factors for pre-diabetes in middle-aged Korean women based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, data were extracted from the second year of the 6th KNHANES (2013~2015), conducted at 129 sites from January to December 2014. The 1,275 subjects were middle-aged women between 40 and 64 years of age characterized as “pre-diabetic” (n=618) or “normal” (n=657) according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) standard. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to determine factors influencing pre-diabetes in middle-aged women.
RESULTS
The significant factors for pre-diabetes were a Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) > 0.53 (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.71, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.27~2.29), increasing prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (OR=2.02, 95% CI=1.42~2.86), and low level of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.18~3.02). In addition, as age increased after 50 years, the proportion of WHtR > 0.53 decreased in the normal group, but increased with age in the pre-diabetes group.
CONCLUSION
Education to raise awareness about diabetes including pre-diabetes is needed for effective management of hyperlipidemia and central obesity to ensure a healthy middle age.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to identify the mediating effects of health belief on the disease-related knowledge, eHealth literacy, and self-care behavior of hypertension patients. eHealth is an emerging field of medical informatics, referring to the organization and delivery of health services and information using the internet and related technologies.
METHODS
A total of 156 patients who were receiving treatment for hypertension at the best internal medicine clinic in Busan City participated in the study. Data collection was conducted from May 22, to June 30, 2019. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and three-step mediated regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 25.0.
RESULTS
Significant positive correlations were observed between disease-related knowledge and eHealth literacy (r=.19, p=.016), disease-related knowledge and health belief (r=.32, p<.001), disease-related knowledge and self-care behavior (r=.16, p=.046), eHealth literacy and health belief (r=.17, p=.034), and health belief and self-care behavior (r=.27, p=.001). Health belief had a mediating effect (z=−2.47, p=.013) on the correlation between disease-related knowledge and self-care behavior.
CONCLUSION
To improve self-care behavior among hypertension patients, medical practitioners need to develop interventions that enhance health belief.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate attitude toward and intention to use the so-called silver-care robot technology in older adults and family members.
METHODS
This descriptive correlational study recruited 80 older adults and 80 family members who were users of a general hospital in Seoul city. Data collection, conducted from February to March 2019, used the Almere model and self-reported questionnaires that included items on socio-demographic and robot-related characteristics.
RESULTS
The mean age of the older adults was 73.48±6.88 years and that of family members was 53.48±10.08 years. No differences were identified in attitude toward and intention to use silver-care robot technology among the older adults and family members. The older adults were more concerned with the trustworthiness (t=2.46, p=.015) of the care robot technology, whereas the family members were more concerned with ease of use (t=−2.97, p=.003). Intention to use was significantly affected by perceived enjoyment in the older adults (25.4%, p=.001) and perceived usefulness (p=.009) and ease of use (p=.002) in the family members (57.1%).
CONCLUSION
The participants showed a positive attitude toward and intention to use silver-care robot technology. Perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness and ease of use should be considered in the development and application of silver-care robot technology.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to examine the effect of multidisciplinary lifestyle modification program in overweight or obese middle-aged women.
METHODS
This study was conducted from January 2 to June 5, 2018 at Jeonju city in South Korea. A non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 46 women were assigned to the experiment group (n=22) or the control group (n=24). The multidisciplinary lifestyle modification program for this study consisted of physical activity, nutritional management, stress management, health counseling, lifestyle monitoring, and affective support based on King's goal attainment theory, which was implemented for eight weeks.
RESULTS
Significant group differences were found in health- promoting behavior (p<.001), depression (p<.001), anxiety (p=.018), stress (p=.001), weight loss (p=.002) and reproductive symptoms (p=.020) among over-weight and obese middle-aged women.
CONCLUSION
Multidisciplinary lifestyle modification program is effective in improving health-promoting behavior, depression, anxiety, stress, weight loss and reproductive symptoms. Therefore, healthcare providers should develop strategies to expand and provide multidisciplinary lifestyle modification program through interaction and transaction for overweight or obese middle-aged women.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for colorectal cancer surgery patients.
METHODS
This program was developed using ADDIE model. It includes preoperative care (counseling, encouraging liquid food intake, avoiding mechanical bowel preparation, encouraging sips of water up to two hours before surgery) and postoperative care (removal of Foley catheter the day after surgery, water intake after three days, beginning liquid diet intake after four days, a soft diet after five days, supplementing high carbohydrate drinks beginning three days after surgery, and early mobilization on the day of surgery). An experimental group of 15 patients in the ERAS program (July 1, 2017~March 31, 2018) and a control group of 24 patients in the existing program (July 1, 2016~March 31, 2017) were compared. Date was analyzed using independent t-test, χ² test, Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U test.
RESULTS
The time before beginning the soft diet was significantly shorter in the ERAS group than the control group (U=56.00, p<.001). The hospital stay length was significantly decreased in the ERAS group (9.53±1.35) compared to the control group (13.29±4.57) (U=72.50, p=.002). No significant differences emerged in frequencies of postoperative bowel function recovery, complications, or readmission.
CONCLUSION
Although the recommendations of the traditional ERAS were not fully applied in this ERAS program, it offers improved clinical outcomes for patients with laparoscopic colon cancer surgery.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to examine the mediating role of physical activity in the relationship between depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.
METHODS
A descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted using the data from the 2016 Korea Community Health Survey. The participants comprised 6,072 patients with coronary artery disease aged 19 years or older. Depressive symptoms, physical activity, and health-related quality of life were assessed. The collected data were analyzed by a complex sample test using SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Bootstrapping methodology was utilized to examine the mediating role of physical activity in the relationship between depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life with SPSS PROCESS macro Model 4.
RESULTS
The results of the hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that depressive symptoms (t=−22.37, p<.001) and physical activity (t=12.12, p<.001) were significant predictor of health-related quality of life. A mediation analysis further revealed that physical activity mediates the relationship between depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life.
CONCLUSION
This study suggests that the negative impact of depressive symptoms on health-related quality of life can be improved through physical activity. Healthcare providers should consider these finding during early assessment of depressive symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease. Moreover, developing intervention strategies to enhance the level of physical activity could improve health-related quality of life of patients.
