Nursing Informatics: A Personal Review of the Past, the Present and the Future

Nicholas Hardiker RN PhD,Hyeoun-Ae Park RN PhD 대한의료정보학회 2005 Healthcare Informatics Research Vol.11 No.2

There is evidence that nurses have been involved in, or have been affected by health-related computer projects since the mid-1960's. Since those early years nurses have made many significant contributions to the wider bio-health informatics agenda. This article reflects on the evolution of Nursing Informatics, from attempts to define the discipline, through the development of support systems, to the current state-of-the-science for one particular and important field of study, namely clinical terminologies. The article concludes with a call for increased professionalisation of Nursing Informatics.

Physical Function, Cognitive Function, and Depressive Symptoms in Elderly Women with Dysmobility Syndrome

Eun Ju Lim RN PhD,Jun Hee Noh RN PhD 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Bio-Science and Bio-Techn Vol.7 No.4

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between physical and cognitive functions and depressive symptoms in elderly women with dysmobility syndrome. For this study, data on 6,070 elderly women were used and 43 of these women had dysmobility syndrome. The tools used in this study were the Physical Functioning (PF) Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean Version (MMSE-K), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)-short form. The level of physical function was significantly lower in the dysmobility syndrome group than in the normal group equivalents. Depressiveepressive epressive epressive epressive symptoms symptoms symptoms symptoms symptoms were significantly negatively correlated with physical function and each of its sub-categories in the dysmobility syndrome group. Multiple regression analysis results indicated that the only predictor of depressive symptoms among elderly women with dysmobility syndrome was PF 5 (the muscle strength of the upper limbs, β = -3.031, P = 0.004), which explained 41.4% of the variance in depressive symptoms (F = 6.985, P < 0.001). The analysis of newly suggested dysmobility syndrome-related factors is expected to help assess health status of elderly people

Growth of Time-Dependent Strain in Reinforced Cement Concrete and Pre-stressed Concrete Flexural Members

Swarup Rn. Debbarma,Showmen Saha 한국콘크리트학회 2012 International Journal of Concrete Structures and M Vol.6 No.2

This paper presents the differences in growth of time-dependent strain values in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and pre-stressed concrete (PSC) flexural members through experiment. It was observed that at any particular age, the time-dependent strain values were less in RCC beams than in PSC beams of identical size and grade of concrete. Variables considered in the study were percentage area of reinforcement, span of members for RCC beams and eccentricity of applied pre-stress force for PSC beams. In RCC beams the time-dependent strain values increases with reduction in percentage area of reinforcement and in PSC beams eccentricity directly influences the growth of time-dependent strain. With increase in age, a non-uniform strain develops across the depth of beams which influence the growth of concave curvature in RCC beams and convex curvature in PSC beams. The experimentally obtained strain values were compared with predicted strain values of similar size and grade of plane concrete (PC) beam using ACI 318 Model Code and found more than RCC beams but less than PSC beams.

Managing Security in ASEAN-China Relations Liberal Peace of Hegemonic Stability

Jörn Dosch 경남대학교 극동문제연구소 2007 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.31 No.1

The management of security and ultimately order building in ASEAN-China relations is loosely embedded in a declaratory process of community-formation. While this process has generated generally beneficial soft institutions in economic and other policy areas, the current state of relative regional peace is primarily attributable to China’s emerging role as a hegemonic stabilizer. The PRC increasingly sets the rules and organizes a growing network of security-relevant relationships in both traditional and non-traditional security fields. Just as in the cases of Pax Britannica and Pax Americana, the up-and-coming Pax Sinica is characterized by the creation and enforcement of rules that are profitable to the dominant state at the center of the security order. At the same time the policies of China as a hegemonic power on the horizon also bring security benefits to the states in its zone of influence.

유럽적 역사의식 : 전제조건들과 전망, 그리고 중재 Preconditions, Visions, Interventions

Ru¨sen, Jo¨rn 부산교육대학교 초등교육연구소 2003 초등교육연구 Vol.18 No.-

유럽적 역사의식(European Historical Consciousness)이란 무엇인가? 당분간은 이 물음에 대한 만족할만한 답변이 있을 것으로 보이지 않는다. 유럽 국가들의 다양한 역사문화들 속에 새겨져 있는 유럽적인 요소들과 유럽적인 차원들이 있을 것이라는 데는 의문의 여지가 없지만, 이 요소들과 차원들이 실제로 어떤 것인가 하는 점에 관해서는 합의점이 존재하지 않는다. 유럽적 역사의식이 실제로 어떤 것인가를 파악하기 위해서는 다음과 같은 세 가지 일반적 질문이 제기된다 1) 무엇이 현재 이루어지고 있는가? 2) 무엇이 되어야 하는가? 3) 우리는 무엇을 할 수 있는가? 이 질문들을 제기함으로써 우리는 우리가 다루어야 할 대상이 무엇인가를 알 수 있다. 우리는 다루어야 할 것은 1) 경험적 현상들 2) 유럽공통의 역사문화에 관한 전망들, 그리고 3) 역사교육과 역사서술, 역사전시회, 발물관처럼 역사의식을 명확하게 형성하거나 의도적으로 실천하는 구체적 과정에 참여하는 행위들이다.

Workplace Health Promotion in Thai Occupational Health Nursing

Surintorn Kalampakorn, PhD, RN 한국직업건강간호학회 2004 한국직업건강간호학회지 Vol.13 No.1

The increase of health care expenditure for Thai worker calls for the need of workplace health promotion. The purpose of this article is to describe the status of workplace health promotion in Thailand, emphasizing the roles of occupational health nurse. Secondary data analysis and extensive literature reviews were conducted. Results showed that Thailand is committed with implementing health promotion concepts in various settings including workplace. Several public organizations have developed national workplace health projects with different strategies and approaches. Role of occupational health nurses in workplace health promotion has gradually expanded. The new law specifying the functions of occupational health nurse in providing comprehensive health services is in the process. Occupational health nursing standard as related to workplace health promotion has been developed. A research ‐based case study on workplace health promotion program is also presented to elaborate the proactive roles of occupational health nurse. Findings of this study suggest the transitional roles of Thai occupational health nurses in which training and technical supports from related organizations are in need.

Attitudes, Subjective Norms, and Beliefs of Korean Nursing Students as Predictors of Intentions to care for HIV Disease Patients ; a Test of Theory of Reasoned Action

Yoo, Hyera,Rn, DNSc Korean Society of Nursing Science 1997 Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Vol.27 No.3

본 연구는 한국의 간호학생들이 HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호하려는 의도정도와 이를 설명하고 나아가 예견할 수 있는 요인으로 학생들의 인식과 태도를 조사하였다. TRA가 본 연구의 개념틀로 사용되었다. 서울에 소재하고 있는 5개의 4년제 간호대학을 무작위로 추출하였으며 4학년 학생들 186명을 연구의 대상으로 하였다. 한국어로 번역된 Ajzen과 Fishbein(1980)의 도구를 이용한 질문지법을 연구의 방법으로 사용하였다. 다중회귀분석과 상관관계분석이 자료의 분석에 이용되었다. 한국 간호대학 학생들의 HIV-Disease대상자 간호 의도는 중립적인 것으로 조사되었다. 학생들의 의도는 학생들이 가지고 있는 HIV-Disease 대상자 간호에 관한 태도와 또한 HIV-Disease 대상자 간호로 인한 결과에 대한 인식으로 예견되었다. HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호하는 것이 학생들에게 긍정적인 결과를 줄 것이라는 인식은 학생들의 간호의도를 예견하고 있다. 그러나 TRA와는 달리 주위사람들이 자신이 HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호하는데 관한 의견은 학생들의 의도를 예견하지 못하였다. 학생들은 자신의 부모, 형제 또는 애인의 경우 자신이 HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호하지 않기를 바란다고 인식하고 있는 반면, 자신의 학교 교수, 성직자, 그리고 친구들은 HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호하는데 부정적이지는 않다고 인식하고 있다. 특히 같은 간호학을 전공하는 학교 친구들이 보여주는 HIV-Disease 대상자를 간호해야 한다는 인식은 타 학생들의 의도를 예견하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과에 의하면 학생들의 HIV-Disease 대상자 간호 의도는 높지 않은 것으로 조사되었으며 특히 학생들의 간호의도에 학교의 교수들이 별 영향을 주고 있지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과에 의하면 HIV 질환과 HIV-Disease 대상자 간호 교육의 목표는 단순한 지식 의 습득뿐만 아니라 학생들이 보다 긍정적인 태도를 가질 수 있고, 긍정적인 결과를 인식 할 수 있도록 설정되어야 된다고 제 안하고 있다.
