Purpose
It is necessary for nurses who perform tasks related to life-sustaining treatment to play a supporting role in the decision-making process of life-sustaining treatment for patients and guardians based on their knowledge of decisions and implementation, such as cessation of life-sustaining treatment. Therefore, the Knowledge Scale of the Life-Sustaining Treatment (KS-LST) was developed and reliability and validity were verified.
Methods
Our methodological study aimed at developing tools to measure the knowledge of nurses´ life-saving medical decision system and to verify their reliability and validity. To this end, preliminary questions were constructed through literature review. In this regard, content validity, face validity, k-group comparison, and composition validity through item analysis were verified, and reliability was derived from KR-20.
Results
A total of 26 questions were derived from the 35 preliminary questions through content validity and facial validity; depending on whether they were educated or not, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p=.004). The final 23 questions were derived by deleting 3 questions with low discrimination, and KR-20 was .62.
Conclusion
Using the KS-LST that was developed through this study, we can measure the nurses´ knowledge of the life-sustaining medical decision system and provide education in the deficient areas. We expect nurses with accurate knowledge to provide accurate information to patients and caregivers to help patients make the right choices.

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.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to confirm the relationship between patient experience, patient safety knowledge, and patient safety perception and prepare basic data to help initiate patient safety activities and patient safety education in primary care institutions. Methods: The participants were 252 patients who had used primary care institutions in the Gyeonggi area within six months prior to the study. Data were collected from February 16 to March 15, 2021 using a structured online questionnaire on patient experience, patient safety knowledge, and patient safety perception. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0, and hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the moderating effect of patient safety knowledge. Results: Patient experience had a significant positive correlation with patient safety perception. In the relationship between patient experience and patient safety perception, patient safety knowledge had a significant moderating effect. In particular, among the sub-factors of the patient experience, doctors and the hospital environment significantly affected patient safety perception, and in this process, patient safety knowledge acted as a moderating variable. Conclusion: Patients with low safety knowledge have a higher perception of safety when they have positive experiences through doctors. Therefore, medical staff should make continuous efforts to establish a safe hospital environment and earn patients’ trust to increase their safety perception. It is necessary to develop mandatory patient safety education programs by identifying potential patient safety problems and accidents in primary care institutions.

Purpose
This study was conducted to confirm the effect of providing video-program-related information on coronary disease to patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) on anxiety, vital signs, pain, and knowledge level related to coronary disease. Methods: A quasi-experimental design of nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest was used. The subjects of this study were 60 coronary heart disease patients hospitalized in the heart treatment center for Video educational Program (VP)-PCI (30 in the experimental group, 30 in the control group) in a general hospital in Gyeonggido Province. Data were collected from May 10 to November 30, 2019. Subjects of the experimental group were provided common nursing care and viewed a video education program before the PCI. The control group was provided common nursing care before the PCI. The data were analyzed via the χ² test, independent t-test, and repeated measured ANOVA through the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in the pain of the puncture site (F=6.83, p=.011) and knowledge related to coronary disease (F=89.94, p<.001) between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion: Based on the findings, this study suggested that the nursing education program related to knowledge of coronary disease provided by tablet PC to PCI patients was effective to decrease the perception of pain and enhance levels of knowledge related to coronary disease. Therefore, the result is useful in nursing practice and should be utilized as a tool of nursing intervention to improve the knowledge of coronary disease patients.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of a repeated hemodialysis diet education program on dietary knowledge, dietary self-care compliance, and physiological indices in older adults on hemodialysis.
Methods
This study employed a non-equivalent control group pre-post repeated measures design. Based on Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve, the experimental group received diet education four times. Data were analyzed by the x 2 -test, t-test, and Fisher’s exact test. A repeated measures ANOVA was used for hypothesis testing.
Results
There were statistically significant between-groups differences in dietary knowledge by time of assessment, within group differences by time of assessment, and interactions between group and time. Regarding dietary self-care compliance, there were significant within-group differences by time of assessment and interactions between group and time. There were significant within-group changes in inter-dialytic weight gain by time of assessment. For the physiological indices, blood sodium and albumin showed significant within-group changes by time of assessment. Phosphorus and blood urea nitrogen scores showed significant within-group changes. For blood potassium concentration, there was a significant difference in interactions between group and time.
Conclusion
Owing to the resulting improvements in dietary knowledge and self-care compliance, the repeated education program applied in this study can be used as a preventive measure for complications in older adults on hemodialysis.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge structure of nursing research on heart failure in Korea.
Methods
Fifty-two studies published in Korea and 41 published abroad by domestic researches from 1988 to 2019, were included. Meaningful morphemes from the abstracts were extracted and refined, and co-occurrence matrix was generated. Using Phython 3.7 for edge weight, degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality and Gephi 0.9.2 for visualization, 571 keywords were analyzed.
Results
The core keywords were “patient”, “heart failure”, “symptom”, “function”, “quality of life”, “self-care”, and “intervention”. The sociogram identified “patient”, “heart failure”, and “symptom” as the largest node, and the edge weight between the keywords was the highest. From 1988 to 2019, keywords such as “patient”, “heart failure”, and “symptom” ranked the highest. Especially, from 2016 to 2019, “quality of life”, “NYHA”, and “medication” ranked lower, but “cognition”, “health literacy”, “behavior”, “self-efficacy”, “man”, “woman”, and “age” newly appeared or ranked higher.
Conclusion
It is recommended that Korean heart failure nursing researchers conduct researches related to self-care for symptom management of heart failure patients, especially on nursing interventions. In addition, nursing researchers should conduct studies on the cognition and health literacy related to self-care of the elderly patients with heart failure

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence the performance of cancer pain management among nurses in an oncology unit.
METHODS
The participants of this study were nurses working in an oncology unit at an oncology hospital located in Busan city. Data was collected between January 10 and February 10, 2018 from questionnaire responses received 101 nurses. Measures used for this study assessed knowledge and attitudes toward cancer pain management, patient-centered care, and the performance of cancer pain management. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS
Performance of cancer pain management was significantly correlated with knowledge (r=.21, p=.032), attitudes toward cancer pain management (r=.21, p=.034), and patient-centered care (r=.33, p=.001). In addition, performance of cancer pain management was influenced by knowledge of cancer pain management (β=.27, p=.008), patient-centered care (β=.33, p=.001), and working in the surgery department (β=.24, p=.012). The explanatory power of this model was 29.3%.
CONCLUSION
These results suggest the need for programs to improve patient-centered care, and continual education on cancer pain management guidelines, in order to provide organized and effective pain management.

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 aims to identify the effects of health literacy and stroke knowledge on adherence to self-care behavior among the elderly with ischemic stroke.
METHODS
The participants were 92 outpatients aged 65 or older with ischemic stroke, who were visiting the neurology or neurosurgery departments of two general hospitals in Chungcheongbuk-do between November 20, 2018, and April 9, 2019. The SPSS/WIN 23.0 program was used to analyze descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression.
RESULTS
The mean age of participants was 73.25±5.72 and the proportion of men was 71.7%. The average score for health literacy, stroke knowledge, and adherence to self-care behavior were 9.26±2.32, 10.34±2.53, and 81.67±14.72, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in adherence to self-care behavior according to living and time since stroke. Adherence to self-care behavior and health literacy showed a statistically significant positive correlation with stroke knowledge. Stroke knowledge, living alone, and time since stroke(less than one year) were significantly related to the adherence to self-care behavior. This regression model explained 24.0% of the variance in the adherence to self-care behavior.
CONCLUSION
To improve the adherence to self-care behavior in the elderly with ischemic stroke, it is necessary to develop and implement educational program for those who live alone and who have experienced stroke less than one year previously.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the improvement in lifestyle of patients with Colorectal Cancer (CRC) by examining their lifestyle before and after diagnosis, and to identify the factors influencing lifestyle improvement to prevent the recurrence of CRC.
METHODS
The participants were 125 patients with CRC who visited the outpatient clinic of Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital in Daegu from December 2017 to March 2018. Questionnaires consisted of items on CRC-related lifestyle, knowledge of lifestyle risks for CRC, beliefs of lifestyle improvement (perceived benefits and barriers), self-efficacy, and fear of cancer recurrence. Lifestyle improvement referred to the score given to the improved lifestyle through the score difference in the measure of lifestyle related to CRC before and after diagnosis. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program.
RESULTS
The factors influencing lifestyle improvement were gender (β=.46, p<.001), age (β=.31, p<.001), knowledge of lifestyle risks for CRC (β=.20, p=.005), perceived benefits of lifestyle improvement (β=.19, p=.008), and number of discomforts(symptoms) that impede lifestyle improvement (β=.17, p=.016). These variables explained 38% of CRC patients' lifestyle improvement.
CONCLUSION
These findings suggest that we need to find ways to provide knowledge of the lifestyle risks for CRC to patients with CRC and improve their perceptions of the benefits of lifestyle improvement to promote lifestyle improvement and help prevent the recurrence of CRC after CRC diagnosis.

PURPOSE
Cancer diagnosis and treatment affect patient fertility. Although the reproductive method has been well studied, early assessment of fertility and discussions of infertility-related issues are not very common. This study evaluated oncology nurses' knowledge regarding fertility preservation for patients with cancer.
METHODS
This study was conducted from March 11 to May 13, 2015 using a convenience sample of nurses who were caring for patients with cancer at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. We recruited 123 oncology nurses and used questionnaires to collect cross-sectional data regarding their knowledge about the causes of fertility impairment (Cause score), fertility preservation in general (General score), and methods of fertility preservation (Method score).
RESULTS
The mean total score of fertility preservation knowledge was 15.46±3.64, and the mean Cause, General, and Method scores were 6.28±1.86 out of 11, 5.72±1.50 out of 8, and 3.54±1.19 out of 6, respectively. Significant differences in knowledge levels were found according to nurses' marital status and total nursing experience. Nurses who assessed the issue of fertility upon the first encounter with patients and provided active nursing care had the greatest knowledge.
CONCLUSION
Oncology nurses should have in-depth understanding of fertility preservation and must discuss the topic with patients with cancer. Nurses should also identify each patient's individual needs through continuous assessment and provide referrals to appropriate specialists both before and during treatment.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the study was to systematically review the associations among health literacy, psychosocial factors, and cancer-related health actions.
METHODS
PubMed, CINAHL, PsycARTICLES, KISS, RISS, and KoreaMed were searched for articles published between January 2000 and March 2018. Fourteen studies were identified and reviewed for the associations among the variables based on Von Wagner's framework on health literacy and health actions. Two researchers reviewed the articles independently using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
RESULTS
Of the 14 relevant studies, five studies analyzed all of the associations among health literacy, motivational or volitional factors, and cancer-related health actions. Eleven studies investigated the association between health literacy and motivational factors, including knowledge (n=11) and attitudes (n=6). Four studies investigated the association between health literacy and volitional factors, including self-efficacy (n=4) and efforts to search cancer-related information (n=1).
CONCLUSION
The possible paths between health literacy and cancer-related health actions mediated through the psychosocial variables were identified. Further research is warranted to substantiate the mediating pathways of the associations between health literacy and cancer-related health actions.

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.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the willingness of family members to perform the CPR to their loved one with heart disease.
METHODS
226 participants whose family member is hospitalized with heart disease were recruited from two hospitals in Daegu city. Data were collected by using questionnaires which included demographic characteristics, factors including knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy and the willingness to perform CPR.
RESULTS
Participants reported on their level of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of CPR at the following levels: 9.16±2.66, 35.55±5.56, and 63.83±19.37 respectively. Only 53% of the participants reported prior CPR training, and 67.7% indicated that they would be willing to perform CPR to their family member with heart disease. Of the participants without prior CPR training, 34% reported that they did not recognize the importance of CPR training. Participants reported attitude (p=.002) and self-efficacy (p=.040) predicted willingness to perform CPR. Age (p < .001), gender (p=.004), educational level (p < .001), occupation (p < .001), prior CPR training (p < .001) were related to willingness to perform CPR.
CONCLUSION
This study findings suggest that it is necessary to develop educational programs for public to improve competent CPR performance.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the following: knowledge of stroke, fear of recurrence and health behaviors among patients with ischemic stroke. Further, factors influencing health behavior will be described.
METHODS
Data were collected from 180 patients with ischemic stroke at a general hospital. The study instruments included items about general and health related characteristics, a Stroke Knowledge Scale, a Stroke Fear of Recurrence Scale, and a Health Behavior Scale. Hierarchical regression method was conducted to examine predictors of health behavior.
RESULTS
The mean age of the participants was 63.62±11.10 years, and 57.8% of the sample was men. The mean score for stroke knowledge (possible range=0~17) was 14.99±1.76, the mean score for fear of recurrence (possible range=0~32) was 23.16±3.75, and the mean score for health behavior (possible range=20~80) was 54.69±6.46. Stroke knowledge and fear of recurrence were associated with health behavior in patients with ischemic stroke (F=9.98, p < .001, Adjusted R²=.43).
CONCLUSION
The results demonstrated that stroke knowledge and fear of recurrence impacts the health behavior among patients with ischemic stroke. Thus, nursing interventions which focused on fear of recurrence as well as enhancing stroke knowledge could help health behavior in patients with ischemic stroke.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of self-efficacy in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), knowledge of and susceptibility to STD, and the role of gender in sexual autonomy.
METHODS
Data were collected from 267 college students using self-report questionnaires during the period from the first to the twentieth of June 2015. Data were analyzed using χ² test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, simple and multiple regression techniques with the PASW/WIN 20.0 program. Mediation analysis was performed according to the Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test.
RESULTS
In male students, self-efficacy for STD prevention showed a full mediating effect in the relationship between STD susceptibility and sexual autonomy (β=-.08, p=.370). But in female students, it had a partial mediating effect (β=-.25, p=.001). And self-efficacy for STD prevention showed partial mediating effects in the relationship between knowledge of STD and sexual autonomy in the both male (β=.25, p=.005) and female students (β=.33, P<.001).
CONCLUSION
To enhance college students' sexual autonomy, it may be useful to build effective strategies enhancing students' knowledge about and susceptibility to STD and to develop a self-efficacy promotion program for college students.

PURPOSE
This study was designed to describe the effects of a nursing simulation focused on patients with cardiac arrest. The study was designed to measure knowledge, self-confidence, critical thinking, and clinical performance ability of nursing students.
METHODS
A non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used. Thirty students in the experimental group received two hours of pre-learning and three hours of skill and simulation practice. Another thirty students in the experimental group received a two hour conventional lecture and three hours for skill practice. The post survey was completed by both groups.
RESULTS
Students in the experiemetal group scored significantly higher than students in control group. The critical thinking disposition was not significantly different between the two groups of students.
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that a simulation education program is more effective in a number of areas including knowledge, self-confidence, and clinical performance. It is recommended that simulation education should be expanded to various clinical situations.

PURPOSE
This study examined knowledge about cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and its relationship to health behaviors among middle-aged postmenopausal women with CVD risk factors.
METHODS
The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. One hundred and thirty-six postmenopausal women were recruited from outpatient departments of four hospitals. The women were 60.69±6.5 years old. Self-reported questionnaires were administered, and waist-hip ratios (WHR) were measured.
RESULTS
Among the women, 72.8% reported hypertension, 19.1% reported diabetes, 33.8% reported hypercholesterolemia, and 24.2% reported angina pectoris. Moreover, 73.9% of the women reported not knowing of CVD prevention, and only 26.1% reported exercising regularly. A majority of the women (80.9%) had a WHR > 0.85. Multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for age and marital status indicated that the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke increased (p<.001). Waist-hip ratio≤0.85 (p=.022) and living with family members (p=.006) were significant predictors of healthier behaviors (R²=0.21, p<.001). Knowledge of CVD and health behaviors were not correlated.
CONCLUSION
Obese women and women who live alone are no more likely to practice health behaviors aimed at CVD prevention than their counterparts in the sample. Education and exercise interventions are needed, especially for obese women, to promote healthy behaviors among middle-aged postmenopausal women with CVD risk factors.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to explore how knowledge management of hospital and nurses' beliefs and competences on evidence-based practice can affect evidence-based decision making.
METHODS
In this descriptive study, a total of 184 nurses who were working in the five general hospitals participated. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire in September, 2014. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and step-wise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN Statistics 21.0 program.
RESULTS
Evidence-based decision making was correlated with EBP beliefs (r=.55, p<.001), EBP competence (r=.57, p<.001), and knowledge management (r=.50, p<.001). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that EBP beliefs (β=.18, p=.005), EBP competence (β=.37, p<.001), organizational knowledge management (beta=.27, p<.001) explained 48.6% of evidence based decision making (p<.001).
CONCLUSION
The study results indicated that evidence-based practice competences, organizational knowledge management, and evidence-based practice beliefs were important factors on evidence-based decision making. In order to improve evidence-based practice among nurses through organizational knowledge management, EBP beliefs and competence at individual level need to be considered and incorporated into any systemic training of EBP.

PURPOSE
This study was to develop and test a theoretical model based on the revised health belief model explaining osteoporosis prevention behaviors among postmenopausal women under 65.
METHODS
This secondary data analysis included 342 postmenopausal women under 65 from original data sources of a total of 734 women. The measured instruments were scales for osteoporosis awareness, osteoporosis health belief scale (benefit, barrier, susceptibility, severity, and health motivation), self-efficacy, and osteoporosis prevention behaviors. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 20.0 and AMOS 20.0.
RESULTS
The mean age of the subjects was 55.2 years and the mean age of menopause was 51.10. The hypothetical model of osteoporosis prevention behaviors was relatively fit. Osteoporosis prevention behaviors were significantly explained up to 62% by expectation factors (relative benefit, self-efficacy, health motivation) and modifying factors(knowledge only). Expectation factors of health belief had a mediation effect between modifying factors and prevention behaviors.
CONCLUSION
This study partially supported the revised health belief model for explaining osteoporosis prevention behaviors. It provides a basis for developing an educational program focusing on expectation factors and knowledge with the aim of behavioral changes for osteoporosis prevention.

PURPOSE
Knowledge, clinical reasoning, and self-confidence are the basis for undergraduate education, and determine students\' level of competence. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the addition of a one-time simulation experience to the didactic curriculum on nursing students' knowledge acquisition, clinical reasoning skill, and self-confidence.
METHODS
Using a quasi-experimental crossover design consisted of intervention and wait-list control groups. Participants were non-randomly assigned to the first intervention group (Group A, n=48) or the wait-list control group (Group B, n=46). Knowledge level was assessed through a multiple choice written test, and clinical reasoning skill was measured using a nursing process model-based rubric. Self-confidence was measured using a self-reported questionnaire.
RESULTS
Results indicated that students in the simulation group scored significantly higher on clinical reasoning skill and related knowledge than those in the didactic lecture group; no difference was found for self-confidence.
CONCLUSION
Findings suggest that undergraduate nursing education requires a simulation-based curriculum for clinical reasoning development and knowledge acquisition.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to provide an effective nursing intervention using an individualized educational program composed with knowledge, compliance, and physiologic parameters for long-term hemodialysis patients.
METHODS
A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group and pre- and post-test design was conducted with 40 hemodialysis patients at G university hospital in the J city from June to August, 2015. A data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, chi2 test, Shapiro-Wilk test, independent-samples t-test and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS 21.0 program.
RESULTS
knowledge about hemodialysis and patient role behaviors were not significantly different between the two measures. In the biological index, there was significant difference between the groups by points in time and group in blood potassium, albumin, and Kt/v. However, there was no difference in gaining weight between hemodialysis, hemoglobin, and blood phosphorus.
CONCLUSION
The individual training program in this study had an effect on changing some physiological indicators of long-term hemodialysis patients. Future research is warranted for developing various kinds of education program incorporating the findings of the study for the given population.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine their levels of knowledge of the kidney, self-efficacy, and kidney function in pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency.
METHODS
A total of 142 pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency were recruited from a nephrology clinic of a hospital in Korea. Participants' knowledge of the kidney, self-efficacy, and kidney function were measured, and the correlations between these factors were computed.
RESULTS
The levels of knowledge of the kidney were moderate, with a mean score of 12.30+/-5.35. Knowledge level was significantly correlated with age, education level, occupation, income, physical symptoms, and information resources (p<.05). The mean score for self-efficacy was 6.06+/-2.00. Self-efficacy was significantly associated with patients` age, education level, occupation, income, cigarette use, and information resources (p<.05). The mean score for kidney function was 35.66+/-18.68 mL/min/1.73 m2. Kidney function was significantly correlated with use of medications and drinking behavior (p<.05). Knowledge of the kidney was significantly correlated with self-efficacy (r=.31, p<.001), but not with kidney function. There was a significant correlation between self-efficacy and kidney function (r=.30, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy and drinking behavior accounted for 11% of the variance in kidney function of pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency.
CONCLUSION
Nursing interventions are necessary to increase self-efficacy among pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency in order to maintain their kidney function.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate health literacy, diabetic knowledge, and diabetic self-care among foreign diabetic patients at a hospital in South Korea.
METHODS
Participants was 134 foreign patients diagnosed with diabetes and who understand English. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20.0.
RESULTS
Health literacy significantly differed with HbA1c levels, whereas diabetic knowledge significantly differed with education levels, and time since diagnosed. Diabetic self-care significantly differed with time since the diagnosis. Health literacy significantly differed with diabetic knowledge and diabetic self-care. There was a correlation between health literacy and diabetic knowledge and between diabetic knowledge and diabetic self-care but not between health literacy and diabetic self-care.
CONCLUSION
There are significant results on health literacy, diabetic knowledge and diabetic self-care. Subject with adequate health literacy had high scores on diabetic knowledge and self-care.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify health beliefs and knowledge related to hepatitis A vaccination (HAV). Preventative behaviors related to HAV were also examined.
METHODS
The convenience sample of 332 students were drawn from a university in Chung-nam province. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffetest, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS for Windows 21.0 software.
RESULTS
Vaccination rates for hepatitis A were 23.4%. The mean scores of health beliefs, knowledge and preventative behaviors related to hepatitis A were 2.38+/-0.25, 0.34+/-0.30, and 3.15+/-0.40 respectively. The factors found to be related to hepatitis A preventative behaviors were HAV, having the HAV antibody and health beliefs.
CONCLUSION
An experience of HAV, having HAV antibody, and positive health beliefs related to hepatitis A may be necessary to increase voluntary hepatitis A preventive behaviors among university students. It is essential to develop the strategy of educating university students about HAV and having HAV antibody as well as reinforcing health beliefs about hepatitis A which prevent the hepatitis A occurrence.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sex education for the elderly on sexual knowledge and life satisfaction.
METHODS
A quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. A seven week sex education program for the elderly was developed and offered to the treatment group. Subjects were drawn from three welfare centers in Seoul. Twenty six were selected for the treatment l group while 27 were assigned to a comparison group. Sexual knowledge and life satisfaction were measured.
RESULTS
The level of life satisfaction reported by the treatment group was greatly increased (t=2.14, p=.037). There were no statistically significant differences in sexual knowledge between both the two groups.
CONCLUSION
A positive influence of sex education was found to increase the level of life satisfaction. Further study on customized sex education for the elderly by individual characteristics is required.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to identify if participating in a sexual education program, influences knowledge, and healthcare attitude among attitudes of nurse clinicians in Korea.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 210 Korean nurse clinicians. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires from July to August, 2011 from five hospitals in S and I cities. Data were analyzed using t-test, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression with SPSS/WIN 21.0.
RESULTS
This study reported that the majority of nurse clinicians had attended sexual programs about sexual harassment, reproductive system and function. There were significant correlations between experience of attending sexual education(r=.32, p=.003) and sexual knowledge(r=.14, p=.047) with sexual healthcare attitude. Sexual education on the job(beta=.13, p=.004), supplementary sexual education(beta=.17, p=.009), sexual knowledge(beta=.16, p=.048), and obstetrics and gynecology department carrier(beta=.29, p<.001) explained 14.0% of sexual healthcare attitude.
CONCLUSION
This study's results demonstrate that advanced and continuous sexual health program is necessary for nurse clinicians. Proper sexual knowledge and positive attitude may promote nursing intervention and counseling concerning patients' sexual problems.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify aging anxiety and influencing factors of middle-aged adults.
METHODS
Descriptive correlation design was used. Three hundred and three middle-aged adults participated in the study and completed the questionnaires in the period from September 11 to October 15 of 2011. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchial multiple regression analysis.
RESULTS
Aging anxiety of middle-aged adults was higher than a moderate level. Socio-demographic variables such as age, religion, education, economic level, perceived health status and experience of living with older adults influenced significantly on aging anxiety. In contrast, general self-efficacy, aging knowledge and attitude toward older adults were negatively correlated with aging anxiety. Hierarchial multiple regression analysis incorporating these variables showed an explanation rate of aging anxiety at 21%. And religion, perceived health status, attitude toward older adults, and general self-efficacy were statistically significant among variables that influence on aging anxiety.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this study suggest that senior preparation programs that can enhance self-efficacy, induce positive attitude on older adults and promote health should be implemented to reduce aging anxiety of middle-aged adults.
