Alexandria Scientific nursing journal, 2020

The Purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between maternal fetal attachment and state anxiety for pregnant women in preterm labor. Methods: The subjects consisted of 56 pregnant women in preterm labor on C hospital. The data were analyzed using SPSS computer program that includes descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Age distribution was 30~39 years of age. Mean score of maternal fetal attachment was 91.50. The group whose planned pregnancy was highest showed higher maternal fetal attachment. The primigravida group showed high maternal fetal attachment. Most frequently practiced attachment item was: "I'm really looking forward to seeing what the baby looks like". The next was was: "I enjoy watching my tummy jiggle as the baby kicks inside". There was no difference in degree of anxiety by general and obstetrical characteristics. There was statistically significant of negative correlation between maternal fetal attachment and state anxiety for pregnant women with preterm labor. Conclusion: Findings provide useful information for further studies in reducing anxiety and intervention programs relating to pregnancy and preterm labor. To increase maternal fetal attachment of pregnant women with preterm labor, it is necessary to standardize prenatal education program.

Factors Influencing Patient-Centered Care by Nursing Staff in Nursing Homes

Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing, 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine individual and organizational factors that influence patientcentered care. Methods: Data were collected through convenience sampling and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) 7.0 was conducted to analyze the effects of individual and organizational factors for patient-centered care. Results: One hundred and thirty five participants were included, of which 42.2% were registered nurses (RNs), 20.0% certified nursing assistants, and 37.8% care workers. Among the 14 nursing homes assessed, the average proportion of registered nurses was 7.6%. Patient-centered care was explained by a power of 2.4% at the individual level and was significantly associated with religion of nursing staff. The explanatory variables were not significant at the organizational level. Conclusion: While previous studies have highlighted the association established between patient-centered care and both individual and organizational characteristics, the same degree of association was not found in the present study primarily due to convenience sampling. Possible avenues for improvement include further consideration of the differences between individual and organizational variables and the addition of more explanatory variables to measure their impact on patient-centered care. Nonetheless the present study provides informative perspectives on the perception of nursing staff regarding elder abuse and human rights sensitivity of nursing staff.

Seat Belt Usage Rate and Unconscious Behavior in the Fastening Process

Journal of the Ergonomics Society of Korea, 2010

Seat belt is an important means to protect drivers and passengers from the damages by car accidents. Many ways to increase the seat belt wearing rate have been proposed through human factors researches. The primary ways to increase seat belt use rate have emphasized the intention-behavior cycle. This study focused on the gap between intention and behavior. The gap may be bridged by the habit for seat belt use behavior. Divers following a desirable car starting sequence, from sitting on the chair, fastening seat belt, starting engine to moving a car, reported that higher belt wearing rate and unconscious behavior (automated response). That is, the habitualized procedure knowledge prevented drivers from forgetting to fasten their seat belt. The reminder systems such as warning light and warning sound could not significantly give an influence in remembering to fasten seat belt. In order to increase the seat belt use rate, the desirable car starting procedure should be included in the driving education program.

Experiencing Nature to Satisfy Basic Psychological Needs in Parenting: A Quasi-Experiment in Family Shelters

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020

Finding fulfillment of basic psychological needs may be difficult for parents living in shelters after becoming homeless or after escaping violence. This study tested if experiencing nature was associated with the basic psychological needs of parents in shelters. Need satisfaction and need frustration were measured among parents in shelters (N = 160), with one measurement in the standard indoor context of the shelter and one measurement while experiencing nature. Experiencing nature was associated with enhanced need satisfaction (d = 0.28) and reduced need frustration (d = −0.24). The effect was especially pronounced for parents with young children. Our findings suggest that the physical environment matters for parents’ basic psychological need fulfillment as they interact with their children in the context of sheltering. This finding opens a potential avenue for supporting parental functioning and resilience in the face of risk if these effects were to be replicated across settings...

Physicians’ Experience from the Pilot Project for Primary Care for People with Disabilities

Korean Journal of Family Practice

Background: Disabled people are considered a vulnerable population in terms of health and social care. With the disability act having been enacted in 2015, the primary care physician system for disabled people was designed and implemented as a pilot project as of May 2018. This study was designed to assess the suitability and effectiveness of this pilot project. To this end, we conducted a survey of medical staff who participated in the pilot project, making use of questionnaires derived from preceding focused group interviews. Methods: We first conducted focused group interviews with experts who were actively engaged in the pilot project. Questionnaires were then prepared based on these focused group interviews, which were then administered electronically to 23 physicians who had provided medical services for disabled people throughout the pilot project. Results: In this study, physicians noted that all the services in the pilot program are useful for the healthcare of disabled people in the following order: comprehensive evaluation, education and counselling, coordination of care and medical referral, and comprehensive planning. The biggest problem identified was the complexity of the administrative procedure and the inadequacy of medical fees. The participants endorsed greater participation of secondary/tertiary hospitals, the establishment of links within the local community, and the strengthening of the role of public medical centers. Conclusion: All the services in the pilot program appear to be useful in the provision of healthcare of disabled people, and several measures are suggested for the improvement of the program prior to the actual implementation of the project.

[Depression and caregiving burden in families of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing, 2015

The purpose of this study was to describe depression, caregiving burden and the correlation of the two variables in the families of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to clarify factors predicting caregiving burden. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 139 family members who provided care to patients with ALS. The characteristics of patients and families, Korean-Beck Depression Inventory (K-BDI), Korean version of Zarit Burden Interview (K-ZBI) and Korean-Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - Revised (K-ALSFRS-R) were used as study measures. The mean score for K-BDI was 19.39 out of 63 suggesting sub-clinical depression and 38.2% of the family members exhibited depression. The mean score for K-ZBI was 66.03 out of 88. The predictors for K-ZBI were K-BDI, age of family member, length of time spent per day in caring, relationship to patient and K-ALSFRS-R. The results of this study suggest that levels of depression and caregiv...

A Study on Integrated Model on Co-Occurrence of Spouse Violence and Child Abuse: Focused on Coercive Control

Journal of Korean Criminological Asscciation, 2023

Using ‘Theory of Coercive Control’ by Stark and ‘Differential Coercion Theory’ by Colvin, this article attempts theoretical integration to explain co-occurrence of spouse violence and child abuse. Women under consistent coercive control might be victims of spouse violence, whereas men under erratic coercive control might be perpetrators. According to the sequential perpetrator model, women who are victims of spouse violence may respond by assaulting their child(ren). In contrast, women/mothers exert consistent coercive control over their daughters, but inconsistent control over their sons. Women are not only victims as wives, but also accomplices as mothers, because patriarchal authority permits women to control their children.

Analysis of Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Problem Behaviors of Sasang Types in a Child Clinical Sample

The Journal of Korean Oriental Pediatrics, 2013

The goal of the present study was to elucidate the characteristics of behavior problems in Sasang typology with child patients. Methods Subjects consisted of 176 (95 boys, 81 girls) children from 36 months to 83 months were diagnosed by two clinical experts in pediatrics and Sasang medicine. There were 22 So-Yang types, 141 Tae-Eum types, and 13 So-Eum types. The behavior problems were measured with Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used for the analysis. Results There were no significant differences between Sasang types among subject's age (F(2, 173)=.190, p=.827) and sex (χ 2 (2, N=176)=1.639, p=.441) as well as their mother's age (F(2, 169)=.060, p=.942) and education level (χ 2 (4, N=172)=.394, p=.983) and their father's age (F(2, 168)=1.184, p=.309) and education level (χ 2 (4, N=172)=5.664, p=.226). So-Yang types (50.14±22.35; 17.27±8.60) had higher scores than Tae-Eum types (38.74±21.32; 12.62±7.98) in total problems and internalizing problems score of the CBCL, respectively. More specifically, So-Yang types (5.90±2.81; 3.77±1.90) had significantly higher depression/anxiety and somatization subscale score than Tae-Eum types (4.04±2.73; 2.30±2.12). Scores of So-Yang types were significantly higher than those of CBCL clinical group in depression/anxiety and somatization subscales. Conclusions There were significant differences between child outpatients with different Sasang types, which would be taken into consideration concerning development of Sasang type diagnosis in addition to parenting, treatment, and prevention for children.
