The Direction of Christian Education for Global Leadership in the Coming Period of Transition

Kisook Kim 한국기독교교육정보학회 2011 Journal of Christian education information tech Vol.0 No.19

Rapid societal transitions confront people, today, causing an uncertain and chaotic environment. The more people are exposed to desperate situations, the more they seek strong leaders. This review of the leadership literature identifies the key characteristics of leaders and explains what is needed to sustain them through crises, anxiety, confusion, and conflict. This review also suggests three fundamental tasks for Christian leadership education. The first is global leadership education based on principles learned from biblical narratives of leadership. The second is relationship education based on communal relationships. The third is spiritual wisdom in recognizing world situations and realities.

Factors That Influence Attitudes toward Advance Directives among Female Cancer Patients

Aeri Kim,Kisook Kim Korean Society for Hospice and Palliative Care 2023 한국호스피스.완화의료학회지 Vol.26 No.2

Purpose: This study aimed to identify attitudes toward advance directives (ADs) among female cancer patients and factors related to ADs. Methods: The study was conducted at a university hospital in Seoul from September 19, 2020, to January 20, 2021. The participants were 153 patients diagnosed with gynecological cancer or breast cancer. Data were collected using questionnaires and included general characteristics, disease- and AD-related characteristics, knowledge and attitudes about ADs, and attitudes about dignified death. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Only 2% of the participants completed ADs. The mean score for attitudes toward ADs was 3.30, indicating a positive knowledge and attitude toward dignified death. The factors related to attitudes toward ADs were attitudes toward dignified death (𝛽=0.25, P=0.001), experience discussing life-sustaining treatment (𝛽=0.17, P=0.037), preferred time to have a consultation about ADs (𝛽=0.19, P=0.046), intention to write ADs (𝛽=0.15, P=0.038), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (𝛽=-0.37, P<0.001). The explanatory power of these variables for attitudes toward ADs was 38.5%. Conclusion: Overall, patients preferred to have a consultation about ADs when they were still active, mentally healthy, and able to make decisions. Education about ADs should be provided to patients on the first day of hospitalization for chemotherapy or while awaiting treatment in an outpatient setting so patients can write ADs and discuss them with family and friends.

The aims of this study are to identify levels of diabetes self-care activities and find associated factors of the elderly with Type 2 diabetes. The participants for this study were 264 elderly Koreans over 65 years old who visited one general hospital in S city in South Korea for their medical treatment. In the results, there are few statistically significant differences in general characteristics and disease related variables according with diabetes self-care activities (DSCA). DSCA showed negative correlation with depression (r=-.278, p=.033) and positive correlation with ADLs(r=.310, p=.013)and IADLs(r=.415, p=.001). Therefore, the findings of this study suggest implementing self-care activities to the elderly with diabetes based on their psychological factors (depression) and functional capacities (ADL and IADL). In addition, the advanced research will be needed for developing tailored nursing educations and interventions to improve diabetes self-care activities of elderly patients. 본 연구는 노인 당뇨환자의 당뇨 자가 관리 정도를 파악하고 관련 요인을 확인하기 위해 구조화된 설문지를 이용해 시행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구의 대상자는 당뇨로 진단받고 S시의 일개 종합 전문 의료기관에 외래진료를 위해 방문한 65세 이상의 노인 당뇨환자 264명이다. 연구결과 대상자의 당뇨 자가관리 행동 일수는 일반적 당뇨식이일수가 1주일 중 5.5일로 가장 많았고 특수 당뇨치료 식이 일수가 3.3일로 가장 낮았다. 일반적 특성과 질병관련 특성에 따라 당뇨 자가관리 행동의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 당뇨 자가관리 행동은 우울과 음의 상관관계가(r=-.278, p=.033), 일상생활 수행능력(r=.310, p=.013) 및 도구적 일상생활 수행능력(r=.415, p=.001)과 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과의 의의는 노인 당뇨환자의 자가관리정도와 관련 요인을 확인한 결과를 바탕으로 자가관리 향상을 위한 간호중재 개발의 기초자료를 제시한 것 이다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 심리적 변인(우울)과 기능적 역량(ADL, IADL)에 따른 노인 당뇨 자가관리 중재접근이 필요할 것이다. 또한 환자 수준에 맞춘 개별화된 당뇨 자가관리 교육 및 관리도구 개발을 위한 추후 확대 연구의 시행을 제언한다.

본 연구는 우리나라 성인 당뇨병 환자의 혈당조절 불량군의 위험요인을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 2012년 국민건강 영양조사 자료를 이용한 2차자료 분석이며 30세 이상 성인 당뇨병환자 608명을 표본을 대상으로 SPSS 21.0프로그램을 사용 하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 당뇨유병기간, 인슐린주입, 연령, 경제적 상태, 고중성지방혈증이 혈당조절군에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 당뇨유병기간과 연령, 고중성지방혈증 여부가 혈당조절 불량군에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났 고 각각의 오즈비는 1.70배와 2.06배, 2.45배 증가하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 당뇨병 유병기간, 연령에 따른 차별화된 중재를 통한 효율적 혈당조절로 당뇨병 환자의 삶의 질 향상에 기여해야 할 것이며 특히, 고중성지방혈증이 나타나는 당뇨병 환자의 혈당조절에 주의를 기울일 필요가 있을 것이다. The purpose of this study was to investigate influencing factors and characteristics in Korean adults with diabetes by glycemic control groups. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the data of "The Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2012" in this study. Finally, 608 participants who adults with diabetes were used for analysis. Selected data were processed using the SPSS 21.0 program. Diabetes duration(OR: 1.70, 95% CI 1.03-2.92) and age(OR: 2.06, 95% CI 1.16-3.65), hypertriglyceridemia(OR: 2.45, 95% CI 1.21-4.98) were positively associated glycemic poor control group. Therefore considering these factors and individualized diabetes intervention by glycemic control group are helpful for adult patients with diabetes.

코메니우스의 Pansophie 사상에서 본 기독교대학 교양교육의 방향

김기숙(Kisook Kim) 한국기독교교육정보학회 2008 기독교교육정보 Vol.21 No.-

At the present day, higher education in korea has focused on training professional man and technician. As a results, whole person education is apt to be ignored. The purpose of this study is to research the direction of liberal arts education in the christian university in the view of Comenius' Pansophia. This study suggest that Christian universities should lead the education to 3 directions. First, liberal art education of Christian Universities has taken a course of the knowledge education but it must be aimed at the practical intelligence. This means that knowledge is not just for an abstract and speculative theology but it should be the practical knowledge which has an effect on behavior. Second, liberal art education must point to moral character education and aesthetic humanity education to cultivate moral nature in human nature. Especially, liberal art education has a task for exploring the method of aesthetic humanity education in order that it has led to cultivate moral character and have the purified mind. Third, Liberal art education of Christian University must be christian faith education toward creative spirituality. Creative spirituality is not only the most important main theme but also the subject which should be suggested by the direction of christian education in christian university in these days. When the liberal arts education act out education with the aim of creative spiritualty, Christian university will be producing many christian leaders who are capable of carrying out their missions of the times.
