PURPOSE
This study aimed to compare the needs of family caregivers and program providers in family support program by exploring perspectives about the program in the long-term care system.
METHODS
This was a secondary analysis study using the content analysis method. The data of 11 family caregivers and 7 program providers that were collected from focus group interviews in two primary studies were used. Each data was collected in April and May 2015. The units of analysis were dyads of family caregivers and program providers.
RESULTS
The data were deductively analyzed within three main categories: program purpose, program content, and program method. Within the main categories, ten subcategories represented the essential elements for developing a family support program. There were differences between family caregivers and program providers in terms of the contents and intentions of the family support program. Family caregivers wanted to receive help from the family support program in a passive manner, while program providers expected the family support program to improve families' ability to solve their own problems.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this study, it is important to establish the strategies of customized and flexible program considering the needs of the caregivers to make family support program more effective. Further, it is necessary to fill the gap between the needs of the two groups and focus on family-centered approaches to conduct family support program more effectively.

PURPOSE
Nurses lead Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in the healthcare system. To facilitate the evidence-based nursing process, nurses must have the knowledge and skills to formulate clinical questions in a searchable format. The purpose of this study was to develop an e-learning program on steps of EBP, especially focusing on clinical questioning to assess its effects.
METHODS
This research utilized a quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The experimental group was provided an e-learning program with case-based animation. The control group was provided written material about EBP. The e-learning program was performed from October to November 2015. To evaluate the effects of the program, knowledge of EBP, attitude towards EBP, practice of EBP, clinical questioning confidence, and clinical questioning knowledge were evaluated.
RESULTS
There were significant differences in attitude towards EBP (t=2.08, p=.042), practice of EBP (t=2.06, p=.044), clinical questioning confidence (t=2.05, p=.045) and clinical questioning knowledge (t=2.08, p=.042). However, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in knowledge of EBP (t=1.20, p=.237).
CONCLUSION
The e-learning program with case-based animation was an effective method to provide the EBP education to nurses. Further researches are needed to disseminate the case-based education to nurses and nursing students and to develop more diverse educational media.
