PURPOSE
This study explored the care experience of persons assisting the disabled people with their activities.
METHODS
Concurrent triangulation mixed methods design was used. The quantitative data on care experience were collected from 370 personal assistants for the disabled persons from May 10 to June 30, 2017, while qualitative data were collected through focus group interviews with 11 personal assistants in August 2017.
RESULTS
The participants experienced unfair treatment including requests for doing work for the client's family or unrelated work (35.2%), violence or assault (23.6%), sexual harassment or interest (7.1%), and infection risk (7.1%). Many of them suffered from health problems such as work-related muscular pain, headache, or fatigue. There was low satisfaction with the psychosocial work environment and 16.2% participants experienced depression. The participants' care experience was classified into four categories of “feeling like giving up because of emotional difficulty”, “work overload and tough working condition”, “expectation to improve work confidence through practical skill training”, and “hope for systematic support”.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that need-based emotional competence building programs are required to prevent their physical and emotional exhaustion among the personal assistants along with strengthening their job capacity. Furthermore, the decision makers need to pay attention to their work environment to ensure their emotional competence.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to compare the attitude of physicians and nurses toward family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
METHODS
100 physicians and 100 nurses from five hospitals with than 500 beds in B city were surveyed using a Family Presence During Resuscitation (FPDR) Inventory. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test using SPSS/WIN 19.0 version.
RESULTS
Nurses showed more positive attitudes toward family presence during CPR but reported more concerns about the problem of confidentiality, arguing with family members, and emotional distress of family members than physicians did.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of results from this study, we recommend that educational program be developed within the hospitals to change the negative perception of health care providers for the family presence during CPR.
