Purpose The aim of this study was to identify the effects of stigma, social support, and resilience on post-traumatic growth in patients with stroke and to provide foundational data for developing nursing interventions that can effectively promote post-traumatic growth in this population.
Methods This cross-sectional study employed a questionnaire-based survey. The participants were 150 patients who attended the neurology outpatient clinic three months after a stroke diagnosis. Data were collected between February and April 2024 using a structured self-report questionnaire. Analyses included descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, inferential statistics(independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffé's test), and hierarchical multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 27.0.
Results The mean post-traumatic growth score was 2.52±1.05 out of 5. Significant factors affecting post-traumatic growth were age, education, religion, the presence of a housemate, income, time since stroke onset, stroke type, and stroke recurrence. Post-traumatic growth was positively correlated with social support (r=.44, p<.001) and resilience (r=.53, p<.001), but not significantly correlated with stigma. Regression analysis identified resilience (β=.37, p<.001), religion (β=.29, p<.001), and stroke type (β=.23, p=.033) as significant predictors, explaining 44.2% of the variance in post-traumatic growth (F=9.45, p<.001).
Conclusion Developing and implementing nursing interventions to increase resilience may be crucial for promoting post-traumatic growth in patients with stroke. Further research is needed to design and evaluate these interventions.

Purpose The purposes of this study were to develop a prediction model for pressure injury using a machine learning algorithm and to integrate it into clinical practice. Methods This was a retrospective study of tertiary hospitals in Seoul, Korea. It analyzed patients in 12 departments where many pressure injuries occurred, including 8 general wards and 4 intensive care units from January 2018 to May 2022. In total, 182 variables were included in the model development.
A pressure injury prediction model was developed using the gradient boosting algorithm, logistic regression, and decision tree methods, and it was compared to the Braden scale. Results Among the 1,389,660 general ward cases, there were 451 cases of pressure injuries, and among 139,897 intensive care unit cases, there were 297 cases of pressure injuries. Among the tested prediction models, the gradient boosting algorithm showed the highest predictive performance. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the gradient boosting algorithm's pressure injury prediction model in the general ward and intensive care unit was 0.86 (95% confidence interval, 0.83~0.89) and 0.83 (95% confidence interval, 0.79~0.87), respectively. This model was integrated into the electronic health record system to show each patient's probability for pressure injury occurrence, and the risk factors calculated every hour. Conclusion The prediction model developed using the gradient boosting algorithm exhibited higher performance than the Braden scale. A clinical decision support system that automatically assesses pressure injury risk allows nurses to focus on patients at high risk for pressure injuries without increasing their workload.
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of resilience in multiple myeloma patients and to identify the impact of symptom experience, cancer coping, and social support on resilience.
Methods: Data were collected from January 2022 to May 2022 using self-report structured questionnaires administered to 162 outpatients who were undergoing chemotherapy or follow-up care after multiple myeloma treatment. The measured variables included symptom experience, cancer coping, social support, and resilience. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25 for descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis.
Results: The mean resilience score of the participants was 66 out of 100 points. The levels of resilience were significantly higher in patients who had a job, recognized the importance of religion, and had a good economic status. Significantly higher levels of resilience were also observed in patients with lower physical performance status, fewer symptom experiences, more positive cancer coping, and higher support from healthcare staff.
Conclusion: Monitoring the symptom experience and physical performance ability of patients with multiple myeloma is important for enhancing their resilience. Positive coping strategies need to be developed and additional support from nurses should be provided to strengthen the personal resilience of patients with multiple myeloma.
Purpose This study employed structural equation modeling to verify the suitability and causality of a hypothetical model constructed based on Wilson and Cleary's health-related quality of life model. The aim was to explain and identify the factors that influence quality of life in middle-aged men with prostatic hyperplasia. Methods The study included 217 middle-aged men diagnosed with prostatic hyperplasia between February and March 2022 at the urology department of a general hospital in UJB city. The measurement tools used included biological characteristics, International Prostate Symptom Scores, functional health, general health perceptions, social support, and quality of life. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0 programs. Results The final model revealed that the variables with the highest explanatory power for quality of life in middle-aged men with prostatic hyperplasia were general health perceptions, followed by the International Prostate Symptom Score, functional health, and prostate size. The explanatory power of the variables for quality of life in middle-aged men with prostatic hyperplasia was 89.7%. Conclusion The model used in this study was found to be suitable for assessing quality of life in middle-aged men with prostatic hyperplasia. Based on the study's findings, it is deemed necessary to foster competencies for managing the disease through the development of educational programs, nursing interventions, and countermeasures. These should be based on general health perceptions, symptoms, and functional health, with an accurate knowledge of the characteristics of prostatic hyperplasia, as per Wilson and Cleary (1995)'s health-related quality of life theory.
Purpose This study aimed to determine the impact of health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of Korean patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods A cross-sectional design was used, and a total of 189 participants were enrolled. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires and patient medical records between September and November of 2021. Health literacy, self-efficacy, social support, and HRQoL were measured. The HRQoL was measured using the 12-item Short Form Survey, which included Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS). Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Results The findings revealed statistically significant differences in the PCS according to gender, presence of hypertension, exercise, and sleep state. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences in the MCS according to disease period and stress management. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that higher social support was a significant factor of better PCS (p<.005). Higher health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support were significant factors of better MCS (p<.005). Conclusion Nurses should play a key role in providing social support to ACS patients, particularly to female patients and patients with hypertension and poor sleep state and no regular exercise for better PCS. Also, nurses should think about how to promote health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support for better MCS, particularly in ACS patients who had undergone PCI, had longer diagnosis periods, and had no stress management.

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 This study aimed to examine health-promoting behaviors among Vietnamese students in Korea and identify the factors affecting these behaviors.
Methods: A survey using self-administered questionnaires was employed. Data were collected between October 2020 and May 2021 from 260 Vietnamese students whose stay in Korea has been for longer than six months and who agreed to participate in the study. Variables included health-promoting behaviors (physical activity, nutrition, stress management, and health risk behavior), self-esteem, acculturative stress, and social support. A multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the factors that might influence health-promoting behaviors.
Results: Of the total participants, 56.9% were women, and the mean age was 24.60±2.58 years. The mean score of the participants on total health-promoting behaviors was 2.64±0.36, on self-esteem 2.96±0.35, on acculturative stress 2.39±0.15, and on social support 2.53±0.24. Self-esteem, acculturative stress, social support, length of stay in Korea, and education level were found to affect healthpromoting behaviors, and these variables explained 76.2% of the variance.
Conclusion: There is a need to develop intervention strategies for promoting self-esteem and social support programs and coping strategies for managing acculturative stress to increase health-promoting behaviors among Vietnamese students.
Purpose The study sought to investigate the relationships between beliefs about medications, self-efficacy of medication use, social support and medication adherence, and the general factors associated with medication adherence among the elderly living with chronic disease.
Methods: This study took the form of a descriptive survey involving 222 elderly outpatients - aged 65 years or older - who visited S medical center, located in S city. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires from July to August 2019. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and a hierarchical multiple regression via the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate family support and medical staff support and their mediating effects in the relationship between self-efficacy and resilience in patients with colorectal cancer with stoma.
Methods: The participants were 170 patients with colorectal cancer who were hospitalized or receiving treatment for colorectal anus surgery in general hospitals located in B, D, and I cities. Data were collected from July 1 to October 25, 2019 through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression analysis, and the bootstrapping method with SPSS/WIN 25.0 and the PROCESS macro program.
Results: The mean score for resilience was 2.70±0.62 (range 0~4). Resilience was significantly associated with self-efficacy (r=.59, p<.001), family support (r=.38, p<.001), and medical staff support (r=.37, p<.001). Using Baron and Kenny's approach and PROCESS macro model 4, resilience was found to be affected by self-efficacy (β=.53, p<.001). Further, family support (β=.25, p<.001) and medical staff support (β=.39, p<.001) were affected by self-efficacy. The partial mediating effects of family support (β=.25, p<.001, 95% confidence interval 0.01~0.12) and medical staff support(β=.15, p=.022, 95% confidence interval 0.01~0.16) in the impact of self-efficacy on resilience were confirmed.
Conclusion: The impact of self-efficacy on resilience was mediated by family support and medical staff support in patients with colorectal cancer with stoma. The results suggest that family and medical staff support need to be considered in developing nursing interventions to improve self-efficacy and resilience in these patients.
Purpose This study investigated factors affecting Quality of Life (QoL) of patients with Meniere disease. Methods A descriptive study design was used. Data were collected from March to April 2020 through an online survey of 130 participants diagnosed with probable or definite Meniere disease from a community of online-based patients.
The data were analyzed using the independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results Perceived health, anxiety, depression, family support, and health care provider support significantly correlated with QoL. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, family support, perceived health, anxiety, and ear fullness were identified as factors influencing QoL, and these factors accounted for 65.0% of the variance in QoL. Of these variables, family support was the factor affecting the participants’ QoL the most (β=.45). Conclusion These results indicate a need for continuous efforts and strategies to increase family support to enhance the QoL of this population. In addition, to increase perceived health (which was the second most influencing factor on the QoL of this population), improved health care provider support (which showed a positive correlation with perceived health) is also warranted. Therefore, nursing interventions aiming to increase social support should be developed and implemented.
Purpose This study aimed to explore the level of well-dying in the elderly and identify the effects of social support, family support, and repulsion related nursing home on that. Methods The sample for this cross-sectional study consisted of 110 community-dwelling elderly and 103 nursing home residents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from August to October 2019. SPSS/WIN 25.0 program was used to conduct statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way analysis of variance, and stepwise multiple linear regression. Results The mean score for well-dying was 2.63±0.28 (range 1~4). Well-dying had a statistically significant relationship with religion (t=5.56, p<.001), household income (F=14.04, p<.001) and perceived health status (F=44.59, p<.001). Furthermore, social support (r=.71, p<.001), family support (r=.42, p<.001), and repulsion related nursing home (r=-.56, p<.001) significantly correlated with well-dying. Stepwise multiple linear regression demonstrated that social support, repulsion related nursing home, and having a religion explained 62.0% of the variance in well-dying. Conclusion Social support was found to have the largest influence on well-dying, followed by repulsion related nursing home and religion. The results highlight the need to develop a detailed nursing intervention that considers these factors to promote well-dying in the elderly.

Purpose This study was conducted to determine a hypothetical model for the factors affecting uterine cancer patients’ health-related quality of life. Methods Data were collected from 409 patients with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer, between March 16 and May 15, 2015, using a self-administered questionnaire . The data were analyzed using SPSS v18 and AMOS v21. Results The model supported 14 of the 19 hypotheses for all participants. The results indicated that resilience, marital intimacy, social support, and perceived health status directly affected participants’ quality of life, while sexual function indirectly affected participants’ quality of life. Of these variables, perceived health status had the strongest direct effect on participants’ quality of life. Social support and sexual function were found to directly affect perceived health status. Somatic symptoms were found to directly affect sexual function, and resilience and marital intimacy in turn were found to directly affect somatic symptoms. Conclusion These results suggest that management strategies to enhance uterine cancer patients’ quality of life should address patients’ perceived health status, social support, sexual function, and marital intimacy.

PURPOSE To identify the factors influencing Quality of Life (QoL) in rectal cancer patients and to examine whether perceived social support mediates the relationship between defecation function and QoL. METHODS Using self-report questionnaires, a descriptive survey was conducted with 131 rectal cancer patients who underwent anal sphincter-saving resection, in a large medical center in Korea. Data were collected between September and November, 2014, using research instruments validated in the Korean language. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 and AMOS 21.0. RESULTS The mean age and post-surgical follow-up period of the participants were 59.0±10.2 years and 15.9±9.8 months, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that, after adjusting for age and gender, defecation function, perceived social support, and employment status predicted QoL. Path analysis showed that perceived social support partially mediated the relationship between defecation function and QoL with a significant indirect effect. CONCLUSION These results suggest that a positive perception of social support from family and healthcare providers is necessary to improve the QoL of patients experiencing defecation dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. To this end, periodic counseling and education from outpatient healthcare providers, during the postoperative follow-up period, could encourage patients to perceive higher social support.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore influence of Type D personality of hemodialysis patients on quality of life and to elucidate mediation effects of depression and social supports between Type D personality and quality of life. METHODS The subjects were 126 patients who were receiving hemodialysis treatments at four dialysis clinics in Pusan and Daegu metropolitans. Data were collected from January 22th to February 28th, 2018 and analyzed with descriptive statistics, χ2 test, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and three-step mediated regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 22.0. Significances of mediation effects were examined using bootstrapping method based on SPSS Process Macro program. RESULTS The prevalence of Type D personality in hemodialysis patients were 42.9%. Type D personality in hemodialysis patients had significant effects on quality of life, showing explanatory power of 12%. Depression showed complete mediating effects and also showed 42% of substantiating probability, and social supports showed partial mediating effects and showed 19% of substantiating probability. CONCLUSION Summing up the result of research until now, in order to improve the quality of life for Type D personality hemodialysis patient, it is necessary to develop strategies not only to relieve depression using early evaluation on depression status, consulting therapy, cognition behavior mediation and so on, but also to enhance social supports like participating in voluntary meetings and building up social network to expand relationship with close people.

PURPOSE This study was conducted to explore the factors related to family support for hemodialysis patients. METHODS Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flow diagram was used to select 18 studies in Korea for systematic review and meta-analysis. The Effect Sizes of correlation coefficients (ESr) were determined through Fisher's Z transformation. RESULTS The systematic review revealed 31 factors that affect family support(including socio-economic and disease-specific factors) and 23 factors that are influenced by family support (including socio-psychological factors and physiological indicators). In the meta-analysis, 18 factors (10 socio-economic and disease-specific factors and 8 psychological factors and physiological indicators) were used. The socio-economic factors that significantly affected family support were type of medical insurance, perceived economic state, marital status, primary care giver, living together, family monthly income, education level, and job state. Disease-specific factors such as frequency of dialysis per week did not have a significant impact on family support. Family support had a positive influence over patients' self efficacy (ESr=.56), quality of life (ESr=.48), self-esteem(ESr=.42), fatigue (ESr=−.32), sick role behavior (ESr=.32), and depression (ESr=−.24). CONCLUSION This study showed that economic status and family characteristics of hemodialysis patients in Korea affect the level of family support that patients receive, and family support promotes patients' positive psychology and sick role behavior. The results of this study provide useful information in developing family support intervention programs for hemodialysis patients.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the factors involved in psychosocial adjustment of hemodialysis patients. METHODS This correlational, cross-sectional study included 172 hemodialysis patients from 11 different nephrology clinics. Data was collected from May to August 2018 using a structured questionnaire including patient' characteristics, uncertainty, social support, coping, and psychosocial adjustment. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression. RESULTS The total score for psychosocial adjustment was 406.23±44.58 out of a maximum of 700. Psychosocial adjustment had a statistically significant relationship with occupation(t=−3.88, p < .001) and albumin (t=−2.06, p=.041). Furthermore, uncertainty (r=.45, p < .001), social support (r=−.37, p < .001), and coping (r=−.31, p < .001) were significantly correlated with psychosocial adjustment. Stepwise multiple linear regression demonstrated that uncertainty, having an occupation, social support, and being women explained 35.4% of the variance in psychosocial adjustment. CONCLUSION Uncertainty was found to have the largest influence on psychosocial adjustment, followed by occupation, social support, and gender. It is necessary to develop a detailed intervention that considers all these factors to promote psychosocial adjustment of patients with hemodialysis. Furthermore, the importance of the psychosocial adjustment of chronic illness needs to be stressed in nursing education.

PURPOSE As advanced medical care has resulted in the unintended consequence of prolonging deaths, there is a growing interest in the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatments. The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatments in middle-aged and older adults who die in hospital in the United States. METHODS This cross-sectional correlational study conducted secondary analysis of 2000–2012 exit interview data from the Health and Retirement Study. Adults aged 50 and older who died in hospital and who had made a decision regarding life-sustaining treatments were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors related to the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatments. RESULTS Among 1,412 adults, the prevalence of the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatments was 61.1%. Significant factors associated with the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatments were being African American (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]=0.50, 95% Confidential Interval [CI]=0.30~0.86), Catholic (AOR=0.5, 95% CI=0.32~0.93), having at least one private insurance policy (AOR=1.40, 95% CI=1.02~1.92), having a living will (AOR=1.71, 95% CI=1.04~2.83), and having discussed end-of-life care with someone (AOR=1.810, 95% CI=1.25~2.62). CONCLUSION Differences in race and religious affiliation should be considered when older adults, family members, and health care providers make decisions regarding life-sustaining treatments at the end-of-life. Also, health insurance coverage for advance care planning makes it easier for people to discuss life-sustaining treatments with health care providers.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing resilience of patients with stroke. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive research design was used. The subjects of this study were 136 hospitalized patients with stroke in Dankook university hospital in Cheonan, Korea. Data were collected from August 2016 to March 2017 using a structured questionnaire including patient's characteristics, depression, uncertainty, social support, self-efficacy, and resilience. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program for descriptive statistics, using independent t-test, one way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. RESULTS Resilience had a statistically significant relationship with education (t=−2.17, p=.032), duration of diagnosis (F=4.09, p=.019), and mobility (F=4.44, p=.014). Further, depression (r=−.30, p < .001), self-efficacy (r=.44, p < .001), and social support (r=.37, p < .001) were significantly correlated with resilience. In the multiple regression analysis, self-efficacy and social support were statistically significant factors that explained 30.3% of variance of resilience in hospitalized patients with stroke. Depression and uncertainty were not found to be significant. CONCLUSION The results of the study indicate that factors influencing resilience are self-efficacy and social support. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for increasing the resilience should include strategies for improving self-efficacy and social support for hospitalized patients with stroke.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and its influencing factors in Koreans with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). METHODS One hundred and four participants were recruited from Severance hospital in Seoul, Korea. A PAD-specific quality of life questionnaire was used to measure HRQoL. The relevant knowledge, social support, and demographic and clinical characteristics were also measured. Descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. RESULTS The mean scores of PAD-related knowledge and social support were high, while those of the HRQoL were low. The HRQoL was significantly higher among university graduates than those who had completed only middle school, and among those with coronary artery disease. The HRQoL in patients with PAD was significantly correlated with duration of diagnosis, the Rutherford classification, rest pain, walking pain, medical staff support, and family support. It was significantly affected by walking pain, duration of diagnosis, medical staff support, and rest pain. The regression model accounted for 38.4% of the HRQoL in this study. CONCLUSION Pain and medical staff support might influence HRQoL among patients with PAD. Understanding the characteristics of HRQoL may be important in developing tailored management strategies to improve HRQoL among Koreans with PAD.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the factors which may influence a reported mid-life crisis. METHODS The research design was a descriptive survey design using a convenience sampling. Data were collected from 209 middle aged men and women by using self-reported questionnaires including Korean versions of Mid-life Crisis Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Ego-resiliency Scale and Multipledimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program for descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS The mean for mid-life crisis was 2.69±0.58. A mid-life crisis was statistically significant in relationship to education (F=3.79, p=.024) and to economic status (F=4.07, p=.019). Further, there were significant correlations among meaning of life (r=−.34, p < .001), health status (r=−.42, p < .001), stress (r=.46, p < .001), ego resilience (r=−.29, p < .001), social support (r=−.47, p < .001), and mid-life crisis. Social support (β=−.29, p < .001), stress (β=.27, p < .001), and health status (β=−.22, p < .001) were significant predictors which explained 34% of the variance reported in a mid-life crisis. CONCLUSION The results indicate that these factors influencing mid-life crisis should be considered when developing nursing intervention to cope with a mid-life crisis.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify how self-care agency and social support influence self-care practices among spinal cord injured patients. METHODS 106 spinal cord injured patients were recruited from April 12 to May 28, 2016. Structured questionnaires used were the Korean version of the Appraisal of the Self-Care Agency Scale Revised (ASAS-R), the Social Support Scale, and the Spinal Cord Injury Lifestyle Scale (SCILS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and Stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. RESULTS Self-care practices had a significant association with self-care agency (β=.30, p=.002), social support (β=.24, p=.010), and monthly income (β=.18, p=.038). A total of 21.5% of the variance explained the self-care practice among spinal cord injured patients and was explained by self-care agency, social support, and monthly income. The self-care agency was the factor most influential on self-care practices among spinal cord injured patients explaining 15.4% of variance. CONCLUSION The result suggests that developing strategies enhance spinal cord injured patients' self-care agency and self-care practices.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the mediating effect of social support and its relationship between distress and quality of life (QoL) of elderly patients with gastric cancer. METHODS 186 elderly patients who visited an inpatient/outpatient at two cancer hospitals were recruited from May 30 to July 26, 2017. Distress, social support, and QoL were measured using structured questionnaires such as Distress Thermometer and Problem list, Perceived Social Support scale, and QoL scale for Korean patients with cancer. The mediating effects were analyzed by a multiple hierarchical regression. RESULTS Distress was found to have significant negative correlations with social support (r=-.47, p < .001) and QoL (r=-.58, p < .001). There was a positive correlation between social support and QoL (r=.72, p < .001). The influencing factors on QoL were education, recurrence, sleep, dietary problem, distress, and social support. These variables were explained 66% of the variance in QoL. The direct effect of distress on QoL was significant (β=-.24, p < .001) and the indirect effect of distress on QoL via social support was significant (z=-4.14, p < .001). CONCLUSION Based on this study findings, intervention programs directed at reducing distress by focusing on bolstering social support is recommended to improve QoL in elderly patients with gastric cancer.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the factors which contribute to the burnout of a family member providing care to a family member in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS Data about participants' characteristics, stress, burden, social support and burnout were collected from March 1 to September 15, 2016. Data were collected through interviews and a self-report questionnaire. One hundred and twenty-three participants who were the primary caregiver participated in the study. RESULTS The reported mean stress score was 2.13±0.78 and of reported burden was 3.24±0.27. The mean score of social support was 3.17±0.59 and of burnout was 2.61±0.58. There were significant differences in education level, financial burden, assistant, and health status in burnout of the family caregivers. Burnout had significant correlations with stress (r=.76, p < .001), burden (r=.43, p < .001), and social support (r=-.62, p < .001). The influencing factors on burnout were stress (β=0.63, p < .001), burden (β=0.14, p=.010), and social support (β=-0.32, p < .001). These variables explained 71.8% of the total variance in burnout. CONCLUSION The results suggest that stress, burden, and social support should be considered in developing the nursing interventions to improve the burnout among family caregivers of the ICU patients.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate patients’ perceived postoperative recovery over time and to identify the influences of resilience and social support on postoperative recovery among patients with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS 101 patients with GI cancer who underwent surgery at S tertiary hospital were recruited from October 29th, 2015 to January 19th, 2016. Data was collected 3 times at postoperative day (POD)3, and POD5 in the hospital and at POD14 at home. Statistical analyses used were descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, correlation, and linear mixed model. RESULTS The patients' perceived postoperative recovery(reverse cording) decreased at home rather than time during hospital stay (POD3: 16.70, POD5: 15.74, POD14: 17.08). Postoperative recovery at POD5 showed negative correlation with resilience (r=−.36, p=.002). Postoperative recovery scores at POD14 were negatively correlated with resilience (r=−.60, p < .001) and social support (r=−.34, p=.019). There was a positive correlation (r=−.36, p=.002) between resilience and social support. Resilience was a significant associated factor with postoperative recovery over time (β=−0.29, p=.001). CONCLUSION Since the degree of postoperative recovery after hospital discharge was perceived lower than that of during hospital stay, nursing interventions such as nurse-led telephone follow-up programs should be applied during the transition period.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation of Self-Esteem in the relationship between Social Support and attitude toward the Withdrawal of Life-Sustaining Treatment (WLST) for community dwelling elderly in order to provide a basis for planning nursing interventions to improve the attitude of elderly. METHODS The participants were 252 elderly residing in Seoul. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey distributed in March, 2016. The survey included scales on Social Support, attitude towards WLST and measures of Self-esteem. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS The mean score for the attitude towards WLST was 73.83. Self-Esteem was 29.44. Overall Social Support was 42.51. There were significant correlations among the three variables. Self-esteem was directly affected by the attitude (R²=24%). Attitude towards WLST was directly affected by Family Support. Family Support and Self-esteem affected by the attitude on WLST (R²=19%). Self-esteem had a partial mediating effect (β=.23, p < .001) in the relationship between Family Support and reported attitude from the WLST (Sobel test: Z=4.93, p < .001). CONCLUSION Based on the findings of this study, programs can be created focusing on Social Support and Self-Esteem improvement. The programs may positively change the elderly's attitude towards WLST.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine whether the uncertainty mediates relationship between rehabilitation motivation and social support. METHODS Participants were 123 adults patients diagnosed as stroke in a hospital located in a Metropolitan City. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires measuring uncertainty, family support and medical team support as social support, rehabilitation motivation. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The significance of mediating effect was analyzed by Sobel test. RESULTS Family support and uncertainty, respectively, were influential on rehabilitation motivation (β=.39, p < .001, β=-.18, p=.011). Uncertainty showed partial mediating effect on relationship between family support and rehabilitation motivation, however, the effect was not significant (Z=1.63, p=.103). CONCLUSION Interventions improving family support and decreasing uncertainty may be helpful in enhancing rehabilitation motivation.

PURPOSE This study was designed to identify factors affecting depression among hospitalized older adults prior to discharge from an acute care hospital. METHODS This descriptive study included adults aged 65 or older who were hospitalized in a general hospital in Seoul, Korea. Depression was measured by the Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale and illness perception was evaluated by the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Social support was examined using the Perceived Geriatric Social Support Scale. Data were collected from August 25 to October 12, 2015. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS Among a total of 120 participants, 57 patients (47.5%) experienced depression. Mean depression score was 7.37±3.67. Depression was associated with illness perception (r=.53, p < .001), social support (r=-.19, p=.043), number of admission due to the recurrence (r=.31, p=.001), and time to recognize discharge plan (r=.25, p=.044). In hierarchical multiple regression, illness perception (β=.45, p < .001) and time to recognize discharge plan (β=.21, p=.039) were predictors of depression (F=7.68, p < .001, Adjusted R²=.38). CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that management of illness perception and timely notice of discharge are important to reduce depression in hospitalized elderly patients.
