Factors related to Bowel Cleanliness of Colonoscopy Examinees
Yohan Lee, Haejung Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):545-555.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.545
Purpose
This study identified factors related to bowel cleanliness of colonoscopy examinees.
Methods
From December 2, 2020 to January 21, 2021, we surveyed 152 participants who underwent colonoscopy at a university hospital at B City. The questionnaires included participants characteristics, social cognitive determinants (knowledge on bowel preparation, severity and susceptibility for colon cancer as perceived threat, self-efficacy, and social support), and compliance with bowel preparation. For data analysis, SPSS/WIN 21.0 and AMOS 22.0 statistical programs were used. Descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and path analysis were utilized.
Results
Participants’ knowledge level on bowel preparation was 8.49±1.57; severity, 18.49±4.43; susceptibility, 12.55±4.10; self-efficacy, 41.92±9.28; social support, 24.90±4.84; compliance with bowel preparation, 9.26±1.81; and degree of bowel cleanliness, 6.05±1.71. Factors influencing the compliance with bowel preparation included self-efficacy (β=.27, p=.007), knowledge on bowel preparation (β=.23, p=.005), marital status (β=.19, p=.048), social support (β=.17, p=.030), and age (β=-.16, p=.007). The factor directly affecting bowel cleanliness was compliance with bowel preparation (β=.17, p=.043). Indirectly affecting factors were self-efficacy (β=.05 p=.021), knowledge on bowel preparation (β=.04, p=.022), social support (β=.03, p=.026), marital status (β=.03, p=.034), and age (β=-.03, p=.018).
Conclusion
Bowel cleanliness of colonoscopy examinees can be improved by enhancing compliance with bowel preparation. Future studies should examine the effects of strategies that concern self-efficacy, knowledge on bowel preparation, social support, marital status and age on compliance with bowel preparation.

A Phenomenological Study on the Lived Experiences of Patients Recovered from COVID-19
Hee Sook Kim, Jae Wan Park
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):556-564.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.556
Purpose
This descriptive phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of patients recovering from Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19).
Methods
Using a purposive sampling method, participants were recruited from the Korean Psychological Association’s Mental Health and Wellness Center in G city, South Korea, from May 5 to December 30, 2020. The interviews were analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Data saturation was reached after interviewing 14 participants.
Results
The experiences of patients recovering from COVID-19 were clustered into 4 main themes and 10 subthemes:, namely, the patients’ 1) stigmatization, leading to anxiety, fatigue, and concern about neighbors; 2) negative emotions: anger and helplessness; 3) coping strategies under pressure: increased gratitude, self-reflection, and self-efficacy; and 4) ways of overcoming internalized stigma: personal growth and hope for the future.
Discussion
The results suggest that the positive and negative emotions of patients recovering from COVID-19 are interwoven and coexist against the background of the pandemic. Improvement of social networks, development of coping skills, and psychological growth play an important role in alleviating the psychological burden of recovering patients.

Effects of A Multicomponent Intervention Program for Preventing Delirium in Geriatric Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
Ju Hee Hwang, Min Young Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):565-575.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.565
Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a Multicomponent Intervention Program for Preventing Delirium (MIPPD) on the incidence of delirium, self-extubation or self-removal of the catheter, and length of stay among elderly patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Methods
This study employed a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest non-synchronized design to verify the MIPPD effects. The participants, 73 patients aged over 65 years were admitted to a university hospital's ICU in J province between December 2015 and July 2016. The MIPPD contained the following elements: family caregiver education, delirium assessment, reorientation activities, therapeutic communication, sensory intervention for vision and hearing impairments, management of immobility or limited mobility, family support, and maintenance of sleeping patterns. Under the program, nurses and family members provided immediate intervention to elderly patients with an expected length of stay of at least 48 hours.
Results
After the MIPPD application, the incidence of delirium in the intervention group was significantly lower (odds ratio=0.19, 95% confidence interval=0.03~0.97) than that in the control group. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of self-extubation or catheter self-removal and length of stay.
Conclusions
This program can effectively reduce the incidence of delirium. Because prevention is optimal for delirium management, a proactive intervention must be considered; given that, in this study, there were no problems in terms of family engagement, an MIPPD involving family participation should be actively implemented in intensive care unit practice.

Purpose
This study identified relationships among person-centered care environment, patient engagement, and patient outcomes in stroke rehabilitation patients.
Methods
This descriptive, correlational study was conducted using data from 243 post-stroke patients who were admitted in 6 rehabilitation hospitals. We collected data using self-report, structured questionnaires, which included items about the person-centered care environment, patient engagement, patient outcomes (patient satisfaction with nursing care, activities of daily living, levels of depression), and demographic characteristics. Path analysis and descriptive analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0.
Results
The hypothesized path model fit well for data based on goodness-of-fit indices. In the path model, person-centered care environment was significantly related to patient engagement and patient satisfaction with nursing care but not to activities of daily living and levels of depression, controlling for demographic characteristics. Additionally, person-centered care was significantly related to patient satisfaction with nursing care and reduction of depression through patient engagement.
Conclusion
Findings indicate the importance of developing a person-centered care environment to improve satisfaction with nursing care for stroke rehabilitation patients. A person-centered care environment improves patient engagement, which might be a significant factor in patient outcomes, including reduced depression for stroke rehabilitation patients.

The Effects of Nurse-Led Motivational Interviewing on Exercise and Quality of Life among Koreans with Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Haejung Lee, Gaeun Park, Hyekyung Jin, Kook Jin Chun, Jong Hyun Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):588-600.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.588
Purpose
Patients with heart failure report low levels of physical activity and quality of life, both of which are important predictors of patient prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of nurse-led motivational interviewing on self-efficacy for exercise, engagement in regular exercise, exercise capacity, and quality of life among patients with heart failure.
Methods
A randomized controlled trial design was used, and 66 Korean participants (i.e., 38 in a control group and 28 in an intervention group) aged 40~80 years who were diagnosed with heart failure were recruited between May 2012 and September 2013. The intervention group received telephone-based motivational interviews twice a week for one month. All participants were assessed for exercise regularity, levels of exercise, exercise capacity, and quality of life at baseline, one month, and three months. The data were analyzed using independent t-tests, repeated measures ANOVA, and nonparametric tests.
Results
At one month, there were significant group differences in exercise regularity (x2 =6.10, p=.013) and levels of exercise (Z=-2.56, p=.024). There was a significant group-by-time effect on the quality of life (F=3.76, p=.044).
Conclusion
Nurse-led motivational interviewing was effective in increasing exercise levels and quality of life in patients with heart failure. In the future, we propose a study with a larger number of participants and a long-term follow-up study with additional contact to maintain the intervention effect.

A Concept Analysis of Stress in Hemodialysis Patients
Bomi Kim, Hyeyoung Kim, Jisun Lee
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):601-615.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.601
Purpose
This concept analysis was performed to clarify “stress in hemodialysis patients”. Methods: Walker and Avant’s methodology guided the analysis. In addition, the concept was compared with stress from other perspectives. Results: Stress in hemodialysis patients was defined in terms of “Physical”, “Psychological”, “Social ‧ Economic”, and “Behavioral” dimensions. Stress in hemodialysis patients is preceded by kidney failure, fear of treatment, and uncertainty about prognosis, after which there is often negative coping such as non-compliance with treatment, or positive coping such as maintaining the status quo, relying on medical staff, conforming to treatment, and self-management. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop a stress intervention program suitable for hemodialysis patients and a tool to identify the concept of stress in hemodialysis patients suitable for domestic situations, as well as conduct further research to identify its influencing factors.

Jin Mi Kim, Jeong Sook Park
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):616-629.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.616
Purpose
The study aimed to develop a Healthcare Empowerment Program for patients with Temporary Ileostomy (HCEP-TI) and evaluate its effectiveness.
Methods
The HCEP-TI was developed based on Johnson’s model of healthcare empowerment by reviewing relevant literature, identifying patients’ needs through in-depth interviews, and testing content validity. The study was conducted at K University D hospital from June 2019 to September 2020 using a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (n=15), which participated in HCEP-TI once a week for seven weeks, and control (n=15), which participated in conventional ileostomy care. Data were analyzed using linear by linear association, MannWhitney U, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
Results
There were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in healthcare empowerment, self-management knowledge and behavior, and degree of peristomal skin damage. However, there was no significant difference between the groups regarding dehydration.
Conclusion
The HCEP-TI including engaged, informed, collaborative, committed, and tolerant of uncertainty intervention is effective in improving healthcare empowerment, self-management knowledge and behavior, and the degree of peristomal skin damage. This program can help patients with temporary ileostomy improve their empowerment, self-management, and stoma conditions.

Media Dependence of Nursing Students on COVID-19-Related Infection Prevention Behavior: Mediating Effect of Risk Perception
Sung Jung Kwak, Nam Yi Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):630-638.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.630
Purpose
This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of risk perception in the relationship between media dependence and the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related infection prevention behavior of nursing students.
Methods
The survey data of 159 nursing students were analyzed. The independent variable was media dependence, the dependent variable was COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior, and the parameter was risk perception. The hypothesis was tested using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method to analyze the covariate structure.
Results
COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior showed a positive correlation with media dependence and risk perception. With regard to the relationship between media dependence and COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior, risk perception showed a partial mediating effect.
Conclusion
To improve infection prevention behavior, it is necessary to use various media suitable for the age group to access information about COVID-19. Particularly, nursing students take care of various infected patients through clinical practice or medical service. Therefore, it is required to raise risk awareness and improve infection prevention behavior through clinical practice or medical volunteer activities.

A Prediction Model for Quality of Life by Resilience in Disaster Female Victims
Jiyeong Seo, Minju Kim
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):639-648.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.639
Purpose
To identify factors associated with Quality of Life (QOL) in disaster female victims.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional design used secondary data from the 2018 long-term survey on the change of life of disaster victims conducted by the National Disaster Management Research Institute (NDMI). The participants were 1,267 female victims over the age of 20 who completed a survey including QOL, resilience, perceived health status, depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), social adaptation, and social support. Descriptive statistics, chi-square-test, independent t-test, and a decision tree were used for data analysis.
Results
The decision tree identified 8 final nodes predicting QOL of disaster female victims. Resilience was associated with quality of life (△p<.001, F=115.14). The mean QOL was 2.81 with predicted rate of 55.7% in the Low Resilience Group (LRG) and 3.24 with predicted rate of 44.3% in the High Resilience Group (HRG). The highest QOL group in LRG was Node 9 with perceived health status of more than 3 and low depression (mean=3.17), while the lowest QOL group was Node 3 with perceived health status of less than 2 (mean=2.54). The highest QOL group in HRG was Node 8 with social support of more than 3.92 (mean=3.57), while the lowest group was Node 12 with high anxiety (mean=2.81).
Conclusion
Factors predicting the QOL of disaster victims differed between HRG and LRG. In order to improve QOL of disaster victims, customized interventions according to the level of resilience are needed.

Effects of a Multimodal Sensory Stimulation Intervention on Glasgow Coma Scale Scores in Stroke Patients with Unconsciousness
Faozi Ekan, Fadlilah Siti, Dwiyanto Yusup, Retnaningsih Listyana Natalia, Krisnanto Paulinus Deny, Sumarni
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):649-656.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.649
Purpose
This study investigated how multimodal sensory stimulation affected Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores in stroke patients with decreased consciousness at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta, Indonesia.
Methods
We employed a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest and posttest control group design. The control and intervention groups each contained 22 participants, all of whom were recruited via convenience sampling. The intervention group was given multimodal sensory stimulation (auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile) five times daily for a total of five days, with each session lasting 25 minutes. By contrast, the control group only received routine care from the hospital (i.e., no intervention). For statistical analysis, we used both the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test.
Results
We found a significant increase in posttest GCS scores for the intervention group (from 9.63 to 13.18, p=.001), but there was no significant increase for the control group (from 10.09 to 10.54, p=.085).
Conclusion
In this study, multimodal sensory stimulation effectively increased GCS scores in stroke patients with decreased consciousness. Nurses can use this intervention to improve sensory and GCS scores for such patients while in the intensive care unit.

Working Experience of Nurses at a COVID-19 Dedicated Hospital
In Ohg Oh, Soo Jin Yoon, Kyoung A Nam
Korean J Adult Nurs 2021;33(6):657-669.   Published online December 31, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7475/kjan.2021.33.6.657
Purpose
The study was conducted to explore nurses’ working experiences during the pandemic at a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) dedicated hospital in Korea.
Methods
Twenty registered nurses who provided care for the COVID-19 affected patients participated in this study. Data were collected using three focus groups with 19 participants, and in-depth interviews with 11. Data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis.
Results
Seven categories and 18 subcategories were extracted. The seven categories were ‘Hesitating to move forward’, ‘Standing up with the name of nurse’, ‘Experiencing unfamiliarity and confusion’, ‘Walking on thin ice every day’, ‘Getting used to working’, ‘Growing one step further’ and ‘Being left with an unsolved issue’. The experiences of participants changed over time. In the preparation phase the participants experienced fear of the unknown, but eventually they decided to enter the COVID-19 battlefield. After the opening of the COVID-19 wards, participants were confused and felt nervous because everything was unfamiliar and undefined. While they gradually adapted to work and they felt that they grew as nurses through these experiences. They were also concerned about several unresolved issues, including ethical dilemmas about patient care, optimal working environment and compensation for work.
Conclusion
This study provides an understanding of nurses’ working experiences at a COVID-19 dedicated hospital over a time interval. These findings suggest multidimensional implications for future studies and policy making on nursing management issues and on patients care in the pandemic era.
