Background: Breast cancer patients experience a variety of altered appearance - such as loss or disfigurement of breasts, discolored skin, and hair loss - which result in psychological distress that affect their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status on the altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life among Korean breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at advocacy events held at 16 different hospitals in Korea. Subjects were eligible to participate if they were 18 years of age or older, had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, had no evidence of recurrence or metastasis, and had no psychological problems at the time of the survey. Employment status, marital status, education, and income were assessed for patient socioeconomic status. Altered appearance distress was measured using the NCI's cancer treatment side effects scale; body image and quality of life were measured by the EORTC QLC-C30 and BR23. Means and standard deviations of each outcome were compared by socioeconomic status and multivariate linear regression models for evaluating the association between socioeconomic status and altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life. Results: A total of 126 breast cancer patients participated in the study; the mean age of participants was 47.7 (SD=8.4). Of the total, 83.2% were married, 85.6% received more than high school education, 35.2% were employed, and 41% had more than $3000 in monthly household income. About 46% had mastectomy, and over 30% were receiving either chemotherapy or radiation therapy at the time of the survey. With fully adjusted models, the employed patients had significantly higher altered appearance distress (1.80 vs 1.48; p<0.05) and poorer body image (36.63 vs 51.69; p<0.05) compared to the patients who were unemployed. Higher education (10.58, standard error (SE)=7.63) and family income (12.88, SE=5.08) was positively associated with better body image after adjusting for age, disease stage at diagnosis, current treatment status, and breast surgery type. Similarly, patients who were married and who had higher education had better quality of life were statistically significant in the multivariate models. Conclusions: Socioeconomic status is significantly associated with altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life in Korean women with breast cancer. Patients who suffer from altered appearance distress or lower body image are much more likely to experience psychosocial, physical, and functional problems than women who do not, therefore health care providers should be aware of the changes and distresses that these breast cancer patients go through and provide specific information and psychosocial support to socioeconomically more vulnerable patients.

This study was conducted to examine the feature of attachment and the main factors of attachment development between autistic child and his or her mother. Data was collected at Day Care Center for Children with Developmental Disorder in S National University Hospital through nurses's in S National University Hospital through nurses's participating observation, interview with the mothers, and review of nursing records, from April 2 to June 30, 1994. The subjects were all 6 children, one was a girl, the others were boys, and their mothers who participate at the sensory-integrative play for attachment promotion served at this center. Content analysis was done for data analysis. First, all data were categorized by main concepts, reciprocity and affect. Then these wee analyzd and discussed on the aspects of specificity, proximity, synchrony, joint attention, strong affect, emotional availability which were chosen as the components of attachment through literature review. The results of this study were summarized as follows : all subjects were underdeveloped, unstable and showed different level of mother-child attachment. But during the program their attachment behaviors improved little by little. The behaviors which represented specificity, proximity, and strong affect were increased considerably, on the other hand the behaviors which represented joint attention and emotional availability were scarce. The more mother and child had contact and interacted merrily, the more their attachment behaviors developed. Another important factors of attachment development in these cases were mother and child's each characteristics. Especially the child's autistic peculiarity, such as indifference, severe resistance, distracterbility, stereotype tendency, physical condition were major barriers of maintatining the mother-child interaction. Also mother's attitude to her child, raring skill and physical condition were influencing factors. A few mothers who were anxious and stubborn had much more difficulty to adjust to their children. The mother who had experienced happiness with her child, especially if the mother experienced more fun at the play by herself became more positive, active and flexible, and that mother-child interaction maintained much longer and improved. It was more critical to help them enjoy their interaction. Thus nurses had to plan and intervene more joyful and various play, and consider mother's need in addition to child's need. And The program should be strengthened to support the mother emotionally to maximize the therapeutic effect.

This is an experimental study to analyze the usability of fly ash in the tunnel lining concrete. For this purpose, the mix proportion of plain concrete and concrete using fly ash(the replacement of 15 and 30% by weight of cement) to satisfy slump 15cm, air content 5% and compressive strength 270kgf/cm2, was selected. And then tests for slump, setting time, compressive strength, tensile strength, drying shrinkage and adiabatic temperature rise were performed. According to test results, it was found that the concrete using fly ash 15% (FA 15 concrete) was better than the plain concrete and FA 30 concrete. FA 15 concrete was more useful than the others in reducing the drying shrinkage : the drying shrinkage strains of FA 15 concrete after 20 weeks of air drying was lower about 10% than the plain concrete, and lower 6% than FA 30 concrete. And the highest compressive strength after curing for 28 days of 365kgf/cm2 was obtained from FA 15 concrete. This was almost 10-20% improvement in compressive sterngth, compare to the plain concrete and FA 30 concrete. And the effect of 5~7.5℃ of concrete using fly ash for hydration heat reducing was calculated. Therefore, concrete using fly ash 15% (FA 15) was expected to improve the performance of lining concrete.

조혈모세포이식 환자에서의 기계 환기의 위험 인자 : Assessment of Risk Factors

안중경,이홍기,황정혜,박세훈,이효락,송서영,이순일,박준오,김기현,김원석,정철원,임영혁,강원기,박근칠 대한조혈모세포이식학회 2002 대한조혈모세포이식학회지 Vol.7 No.1

연구배경: 조혈모세포이식을 시행한 환자에서 집중 치료 시 예후가 매우 나쁜 것으로 알려져 있고, 기계 환기는 강력한 사망 예측 인자로서 보고되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 이식 환자에서 기계 환기의 위험 인자를 밝힌 연구는 매우 드물다. 따라서 기계 환기를 시행한 조혈모세포이식 환자의 임상적 특징을 살펴보고 기계 환기에 대한 위험 인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 삼성서울병원에서 조혈모세포이식을 시행한 환자 중 기계 환기를 시행한 23명과 기계 환기를 시행하지 않은 142명을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 기계 환기에 대한 위험 인자의 여부에 관해서는 chi-square 또는 Fisher's exact 검정을 시행하였으며 기계 환기에 대한 각 위험 인자의 영향에 관해서는 다중로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 기계 환기를 시행한 23명의 환자 중 30일째 생존자는 1명이었고 6개월째 생존율은 0%였다. 생존자와 사망자 모두에서 다기관 기능부전이 관찰되었으며, APACHE II 점수와 SAPS II 점수에 의한 예측 사망률은 각각 56%, 59%였다. 조혈모세포이식 후 기계 환기의 위험 인자로는 선행 질환이 혈액질환, 부분불일치 동종이식, 간정맥폐색성질환, 이식 전 질병 상태가 재발하였거나 약물에 반응하지 않는 경우였다. 다중로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 기계 환기의 위험 인자로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타낸 것은 단지 부분불일치 동종이식을 시행한 경우였다. 결론: 현재까지 조혈모세포이식 환자에서 집중 치료의 역할에 대해서는 확실히 정립되어 있지는 않으며, 이식 환자에서 기계 환기는 강력한 사망 예측 인자이다. 따라서, 조혈모세포이식을 시행한 환자에서 기계 환기의 위험 인자와 불량한 예후 인자를 고려하여 기계 환기 여부에 대한 신중한 결정을 내려야 한다. Background: Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation is a frequent, critical complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Patients who require mechanical ventilatory support after HSCT generally have a very poor prognosis. Mechanical ventilation in HSCT recipients is a strong predictive factor of mortality. The objectives of this study are to describe clinical characteristics of HSCT recipients undergoing mechanical ventilation and to identify the risk factors for mechanical ventilatory support after HSCT. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients >15 yrs old who received HSCT at Samsung Medical Center and subsequently required mechanical ventilatory support between 1996 and 2001. Results: Thirty-day mortality rate in HSCT recipients undergoing mechanical ventilation was 95.6%. The mean predictive mortality rates of APAHCE II score and SAPS II score were 56% and 59%, respectively. Reasons for mechanical ventila-tion were sepsis (47.8%) followed by fungal infection (13%) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (8.7%). Univariate analysis identified relapsed or refractory diseases at HSCT, hematologic disease, hepatic venoocclusive disease and allogeneic or HLA-mismatched transplant as significant risk factors for mechanical ventilation. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, only allogeneic mismatched transplant remained significant. Conclusion: Overall outcome of HSCT recipients undergoing mechanical ventilation is very poor. Therefore, the risk factors and the poor prognostic factors for mechanical ventilation should be taken into account in making further treatment decision for HSCT recipients requiring mechanical ventilation.
