(A) study of patient satisfaction with nurses and nursing care

간호학과/석사[한글] 오늘날 간호의 역할과 전문적 책임이 확대되고 건강관리에 대한 대상자의 기대가 높아짐에 따라 간호의 질을 확보하기 위한 계속적인 평가가 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 간호사업을 계획하고 그 질을 평가하는데 있어서 수요자의 참여에 대한 중요성이 강조되고 있으 며 특히 환자의 만족은 간호 질 평가의 주요기준으로서 부각되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 간호원과 간호에 대한 환자의 만족도를 측정할 수 있는 도구를 실제 간호활동에 적용하여 간호원이 행한 간호에 대한 환자의 만족수준을 알아보고, 간호의 영역별 환자의 만족도를 비교하여 현재 시행되고 있는 간호상황을 파악하고 이를 기반으로 간호의 질적 향상에 도움이 되고, 우리의 간호상황에 맞는 환자의 만족도 측정도구 개발에 기초가 되는 자료를 제공하고자 함을 연구목적으로 하였다. 연구기간은 1980년 11월 21일부터 11월 30일까지였으며 연구대상은 서울시에 소재한 Y대학교 부속병원 내과와 외과에 입원하고 있는 환자 전수를 모집단으로 하여 임의적 표본 추출방법에 의해 흉곽내과를 포함한 내과환자 및 일반외과 환자로서 16세 이상, 입원기일 3일 이상, 응급입원이 아니며, 연구의 목적을 이해하고 연구에의 참여를 수락한 환자를 선택하여 총 171명이었다. 연구도구로는 Risser의 만족도 측정도구를 번역보완한 질문지를 사용하였고 수집된 자료처리 방법으로 백분율, 산술평균 및 표준편차, Internal Consistency Reliability Test, T-test, Analysis of Variance를 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. A. 대상자의 인구·사회학적 특성 및 입원에 관한 제 특성 1. 대상자의 인구·사회학적 특성 평균연령 약 41세로 50세 이상 집단이 31.6%로 가장 높은 구성비율을 차지하고, 남자가 56.1%, 기혼이 79.5%, 가족수가 4-6명인 사람이 56.7%, 종교가 없는 사람이 31.6%, 고등학교 졸업이 48.3%로 높은 구성비율을 보였다. 2. 대상자의 입원에 관한 제 특성 입원과는 흉곽내과를 포함한 내과가 66.7%이었고, 입원일수는 7일 이내가 70.2%를 차지하였으며, 과거에 입원경험이 있는 경우가 48.5%, 의료보험에 가입한 환자가 63.7%로 나타났다. B. 간호원과 간호에 대한 영역별 환자의 만족도. 1. 간호의 기술-전문적 영역 기술-전문적 영역에서 만족도가 가장 높은 문항은 「치료할 때 의사를 능숙하게 도와준다」가 평균평점 1.89이었고, 가장 낮은 문항은 「나를 간호할 때 정확하고 꼼꼼하게 하지 않는다」로 평균평점 2.42이었으며, 문항전체의 평점산술평균은 2.21이었다. 2. 간호의 교육적 관계 영역 교육적 관계 영역에서 만족도가 가장 높은 문항은 「나에게 많은 것을 물어보기만 하고 아무 것도 해주지는 않는다」로 평균평점 2.09이었고, 가장 낮은 문항은 「나의 검사결과에 대해서 더 자세히 설명해 주었으면 좋겠다」가 평균평점 3.80이었으며, 문항전체의 평점산술평균은 2.60이었다. 3. 간호의 신뢰적 관계 영역 신뢰적 관계 영역에서 만족도가 가장 높은 문항은 「간호원이 너무 자세히 설명해서 짜증이 난다」가 평균평점 1.44이었고, 가장 낮은 문항은 「간호원은 환자에게 보다 더 깊은 관심을 기울여야 한다」로 평균평점 3.81이었으며, 문항전체의 평점산술평균은 2.63이었다. 이와 같이 간호원과 간호에 관한 세가지 영역에 대한 환자의 만족도가 높은 순위는 기술-전문적 영역, 교육적 관계 영역, 신뢰적 관계 영역의 순으로 나타났다. 이것으로 환자들은 간호의 신뢰적 관계 영역에 대해 가장 불만족하고 있음을 알 수 있다. C. 연구도구의 영역별 신뢰도 검증 본 연구도구의 신뢰도는 기술-전문적 영역 7문항에서 .751, 역상관을 나타낸 문항 하나를 제외시킨 교육적 관계 영역 6문항에서 .717, 신뢰적 관계 영역 11문항에서 .761을 나타냄으로써 비교적 높은 신뢰도를 보였다. D. 간호원과 간호에 대한 환자의 만족도와 제 변수들과의 관계 1. 환자의 만족도와 대상자의 인구·사회학적 특성과의 관계 간호의 전체 영역과 교육적 관계 영역 그리고 신뢰적 관계 영역에 대해서는 대상자의 교육수준이 높을수록 만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났고(P<0.05), 기술-전문적 영역에 대해서는 교육수준이 높을수록 만족도가 낮았고, 남자가 여자보다 만족도가 낮았다.(P<0.05) 2. 환자의 만족도 와 대상자의 입원에 관한 제 특성과의 관계에는 간호의 전체영역과 각 영역에 있어 유의한 차가 없게 나타났다.(P>0.05) A STUDY OF PATIENTS SATISFACTION WITH NURSES AND NURSING CARE Hye Kyung Lim Department of Nursing, Graduate School of Yonsei University (Directed by Professor Chi Joung Shim) Today as the roles and professional responsibilities of the nurse are expanding greatly and consumer's expectations of health care services are increasing, continuous evaluation is required to assure quality nursing care. Accordingly emphasis is being placed on the consumer's involvement in planning and evaluating the quality of nursing services. The patient's satisfaction is especially emerging as a major criterion in the evaluation of the quality of nursing care. The purpose of this study was therefore, to determine the patient's level of satisfaction with the nursing care given by nurses and compare the satisfaction level with various areas of nursing care. Thereby to grasp the current nursing situation in order to contribute to improvement of the quality of nursing care and to provide basic information for the development of a tool to measure patient satisfaction in our country. The subjects for this study were 171 medical and surgical patients who had been hospitalized for 3 days or more. They were arbitrarily selected from a university hospital located in Seoul. Data was obtained through questionnaires from November 21st to November 30th 1980. Data analysis included percentages, mean and standard deviation, internal consistency reliability test, T-test and analysis of variance. The findings of this study were as follows. A. the socio-economic and demographic characteristics and characteristics related to hospitalization of the respondents. 1. The Socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the respondents. The mean age of the subjects was 41, 56.1% were male, 79.5% were married, 56.7% had 4-6 family members, 31.6% did not have any religion and 43.3% graduated from high school. 2. The characteristics related to hospitalization of the respondents. Of the total respondents 66.7% were medical patients, 70.2% had been hospitalized within 7 days, 48.5% had been previously hospitalized and 63.7% had medical insurance. B. The level of patients satisfaction with various areas of nursing care, 1. Technical-Professional area The item which showed the highest level of patient satisfaction was "The nurse is skillful in assisting the doctor with procedures" (mean score: 1.89), the item which showed the lowest level of patient satisfaction was "The nurse is not precise in doing her work" (mean score: 2.42) and the grand mean of this total area was 2.21. 2. Teaching Relationship area The item which showed the highest level of patient satisfaction was "The nurse asks a lot of questions, but once she finds the answers, she doesn't seem to do anything" (mean score: 2.09), the item which showed the lowest level of patient satisfaction was "I wish the nurse would tell me about the results of my tests more than she does" (mean score: 3.80) and the grand mean of this total area was 2.60. 3. Trusting Relationship area. The item which showed the highest level of patient satisfaction was "I'm tired of the nurse talking down to me" (mean score 1.44), the item which showed lowest level of patient satisfaction was "The nurse should be more attentive than she is" (mean score: 3.81) and the grand mean of this total area was 2.63. The results show that items in the trusting relationship area elicited the most expressions of dissatisfaction from the respondents. C. The reliability test of the measurement tool used in this study. The measurement tool used in this study demonstrated a comparatively high level of reliability(.751∼.761). D. The relationship between the level of patient satisfaction with nursing care and nurses and related variables. 1. Relationship between the level of patient satisfaction and the socio-economic and demographic characteristics. There was a significant difference between the educational level of the patient and the level of satisfaction in the teaching relationship area and the trusting relationship area. The higher the educational level the lower the level of satisfaction.(P<0.05) In the technical-professional area, there were significant differences between the educational level of the respondents and the satisfaction level and between the sex of respondents and level of satisfaction. The higher the educational level the lower the level of satisfaction, male respondents had a lower satisfaction level than female respondents. (P<0.05). Also when the level of satisfaction in all three are as of nursing were considered together a significant difference between the educational level and level of satisfaction was found.(P<0.05). 2. There was no significant difference between the characteristics related to the hospitalization of the respondents and satisfaction.(P>0.05).

Effects of demonstration of neonatal behavioral assessment on reciprocity between mother and infant

간호학과/박사[한글] 본 연구는 초산모의 모아상호작용 상호성을 증진시키기 의해 신생아의 발달사정 시범을 실시하여 그 효과를 규명하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구설계는 동등성 대조군 사후설계에 의한 실험연구이고, 자료수집기간은1998년 5월 25일부터 9월 26일까지 였다. 연구대상자는 J시 지역에 소재한1개 대학병원, 1개 종합병원과 1개 산부인과의원에서 분만한 정상 모아를 선정기준에 의해 무작위 할당한 실험군 26쌍, 대조군 24쌍으로 총 50쌍이었다. 자료수집방법은 실험군과 대조군 모두에게 처치전에 대상자의 일반적 특성과 영아에 대한 어머니의 지각을 조사하고, 사후조사는 두 군 모두에게 출산 후 4주에 가정방문을 하여 모아상호작용을 비디오 카메라로 촬영하였다. 실험처치는 출산 후 1주에 가정방문을 하여 Brazelton의 신생아 발달사정을 지침으로 실험군에게 시범하였다. 독립변인은 신생아발달사정 시범으로 Brazelton(1995)의 신생아행동사정척도를 사용하였고, 종속변인인 모아상호작용은 하영수(1987)가 번역한 Walker(1982)의 모아놀이상호작용척도로 측정하였다. 모아상호작용에 영향을 미치는 요인인 어머니의 지각은 Wolke와 James-Roberts(1987)의 영아에 대한 어머니의 지각척도를 번역, 수정보완하여 측정하였다 자료의 분석은 SAS를 이용하였다. 연구결과는 신생아 발달사정 시범을 제공받은 초산모가 발달사정 시범을 제공받지 않은 초산모보다 모아상호작용의 상호성이 더 높았다. Brazelton의 발달사정도구에 의한 실험군 신생아의 행동특성의 분석에서 가장 높은 행동조직능력은 자율신경 안정성이었고 그 다음은 습관화, 운동, 사회적 상호작용의 순이었며 상태조절이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 신생아 발달사정 시범은 초산모의 모아상호작용 상호성을 증진시키는데 효과적인 중재방법인 것으로 검증되었다. [영문] The main purpose of this study is to identify the effects of demonstration of neonatal behavioral assessment on reciprocity between mother and infant. The research design was an experimental study with an equivalent control group posttest only design. The subject of this study consisted of 50 pairs of mother and infant(26 pairs for experimental group and 24 pairs for control group), The subjects were selected from one university hospital, one general hospital and one OBGY clinic located in J city, and were assigned to both groups randomly. The data were collected by video-taping for interactive behaviors between mother and infants, a Questionnaire for demographic data and maternal perception of infant, from May 25 to September 26, 1998. The intervention for the experimental group was the demonstration on the development alassessment for the infants by using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale. The intervention was provided to the experimental group during the first week of the infant's birth through home visiting. The instruments used in this study were Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale by Brazelton, Mother-Infant Play Interaction Scale by Walker, and Mother and Baby Scale by Wolke & James-Roberts in order to measure the maternal perception of infant. The data analysis was done using SAS. The results of this study were as followings: The mother-infant interaction score of experimental group was significantly higher than control group. The highest ability of the behavioral organization of the newborn within the experimental group was the autonomic stability, following by the habituation, motor, and social interaction. The state regulation was the least ability of the newborn's behavioral organization. Therefore, the study results suggested that the demonstration of neonatal behavioral assessment might be an effective intervention for promotion of the reciprocity of interaction between mothers and infants during the first few weeks of the infant's birth.restrictio

The Publication of Sinpyeon-jejong-gyojang-chongrok by Uicheon and Its Historical Significance

학위논문 (석사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 국사학과, 2012. 2. 남동신.大覺國師 義天이 1090년에 편찬한 《新編諸宗敎藏總錄》(이하 《의천록》)은 三藏에 대한 동아시아 승려들의 주석서인 章疏를 대상으로 한 목록이다. 총 3권으로 구성되어 있으며, 각 권에 經에 대한 장소 561종 2719권, 律에 대한 장소 142종 467권, 論에 대한 장소 307부 1692권, 총 1010부 4878권을 수록하고 있다. 본고에서는 《의천록》의 편찬 배경과 목적을 살펴보고, 그 구성방식을 분석함으로써 《의천록》의 특징과 더불어 佛典目錄으로서의 의의를 밝히고자 하였다. 의천은 三藏을 보다 쉽게 이해하기 위한 것으로서 敎藏(장소)의 중요성을 일찍부터 인식하였고, 이에 따라 국내는 물론 宋과 遼, 日本에 이르기까지 諸宗의 장소들을 두루 수집하였다. 그리고 입수한 수천 여 권의 장소를 간행하여 국내에 유통시키는 것은 물론 宋, 遼에까지 보내기도 하였다. 이 과정에서 의천은 《의천록》을 편찬하고, 그 서문에서 《開元釋敎錄》의 찬술 정신을 본받고자 하였다고 밝혔다. 이는 《의천록》이 眞僞와 是非를 분명하게 가린다는 《개원석교록》의 기본 정신을 바탕으로 참고할 만한 장소와 그렇지 못한 것들을 구분하여 교학연구의 지침을 마련하기 위해 편찬된 것임을 의미한다. 그러나 《개원석교록》과 달리 《의천록》은 장소만을 수록하였다는 점에서 근본적인 차이를 보이며, 특정 종파에 국한되지 않고 다양한 저술을 폭넓게 수록한 종합 장소목록으로서는 최초라고 할 수 있다. 더불어 당시 실제로 유통되고 있던 장소들을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 고려 불교계에서 중시되었던 典籍의 면모를 파악할 수 있다는 점에서도 그 중요성을 찾을 수 있다. 《의천록》의 구성방식은 선행하는 불전목록과의 관계 속에서 파악할 수 있으며, 무엇보다도 중국의 經錄 구성방식의 장점을 장소목록이라는 특성에 맞게 절충·변용하고 있는 점이 주목된다. 중국의 경록은 唐代에 들어 연대와 譯人의 순서에 따라 수록하는 방식과 經論의 성격에 따라 분류하는 두 가지 방식이 종합되었으며, 이 과정에서 진위를 변별하는 것이 특히 중요해졌다. 《의천록》은 성격별 분류의 방식을 따르면서 참고할 필요가 없다고 판단한 저술들은 목록에서 제외시킴으로써 시비변별의 정신을 구현하였다. 동시에 중요한 인물들의 傳記類를 함께 수록함으로써 연대별 방식의 장점도 부분적으로 수용하고 있다. 《의천록》이 중국의 경록을 참고하였지만 구체적인 체계와 수록내용에서는 《의천록》만의 특성이 잘 드러난다. 기존의 경록이 대승과 소승의 구분을 우선시한 것과 달리 《의천록》은 삼장을 1차 분류 기준으로 삼고 그 이하에 대·소승의 장소를 수록하였다. 이는 소승과 대승을 단계적 관계로 파악하였던 의천의 兼學의 관점에 따른 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 또한 論部의 소승론 이하의 장소들 중에는 《의천록》이 최초로 목록화하였거나 유일하게 수록하고 있는 장소들이 상당수 확인된다. 이처럼 기존 목록에서 누락된 것과 새로 찬술된 장소들을 적극적으로 수록하고 있는 점은 불전목록으로서 《의천록》이 갖는 중요성을 잘 보여주는 것이다. 《의천록》에서 가장 많은 장소가 수록된 화엄경부와 법화경부를 중심으로 구체적인 장소 수록 경향을 살펴보면 의천이 敎觀幷修의 관점에 기반하여 교의연구와 실천수행을 함께 중시하였음을 알 수 있다. 화엄경부의 장소들은 《화엄경》에 대한 종합적인 해석과 觀門을 먼저 이해한 후에 세부적인 교리를 익힐 수 있도록 배열되었다. 구체적으로는 地論宗 승려의 장소를 가장 먼저 배치하여 지론종에서 화엄종으로 이어지는 《화엄경》 연구전통을 반영하였으며, 智儼-法藏-澄觀의 교학계통이 두드러진다. 특히 징관의 저술들이 중요하게 다루어지고 있는데, 이는 실천수행을 강조한 징관의 화엄학에 대한 의천의 관심을 반영하는 것이다. 법화경부 역시 화엄경부와 마찬가지로 《법화경》에 대한 기본교학을 익힌 후 세부교의를 연구할 수 있도록 배열되어 있다. 특히 천태종 승려들의 저술이 군집되어 있어 천태교학을 중심으로 법화경부를 구성하려는 의도가 엿보이며, 止觀 관련 장소들을 논부에 수록하여 실천수행의 측면도 강조하고 있다. 더불어 山家派와 山外派의 대론서들을 함께 수록하는 등 다양한 학설에 대한 균형있는 시각도 보여준다. 이처럼 《의천록》은 敎觀幷修라는 의천의 교학적 입장을 바탕으로 諸宗을 아우를 수 있는 연구 방향을 제시하고자 하는 의도를 반영하고 있다. 더불어 불경목록의 발달 과정에 대한 식견을 바탕으로 장소목록이라는 기본 성격에 부합하도록 체계를 구성하고 새로운 장소들을 적극적으로 수록하고 있다는 점에서 목록으로서의 가치도 크다고 할 수 있다.Sinpyeon-jejong-gyojang-chongrok (新編諸宗敎藏總錄, the newly edited total catalogue of entire Buddhist sects commentaries on the Tripitaka; shortened as Uicheonrok below) was compiled by Uicheon the Master of Great Enlightenment in A.D. 1090. It is a catalogue of East Asian Buddhist priests commentaries (章疏) on the Tripitaka (三藏). Uicheonrok consists of three volumes and it as a whole has 4878 commentaries of 1010 kinds in it; 2719 commentaries of 561 kinds on Sutras (經), 467 commentaries of 142 kinds on Vinaya (律), and 1692 commentaries of 307 kinds on Abhidharma (論). This study concerns the historical background to the publication of Uicheonrok and the intention behind it, and analyzes the compositional structure of Uicheonrok. It aims to elucidate distinct features of Uicheonrok and its historical significance as a catalogue of Buddhist writings. Uicheon was well aware of the significance of Buddhist commentaries for a clear comprehension of the Tripitaka. Therefore, he collected commentaries of various Buddhist sects from Sung Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, and Japan as well as domestic sects. He published thousands of collected commentaries and distributed them in the country. Moreover, he even exported them to Sung and Liao Dynasty. During this process, he compiled Uicheonrok and he noted in the preface that he tried to emulate the spirit of Gaewon-seokgyorok (開元釋敎錄, the catalogue of Buddhist teachings written in the era of Emperor Gaewon of Tang Dynasty). Uicheonrok was compiled on the fundamental spirit of Gaewon-seokgyorok which was written to distinguish between right and wrong, true and false. This means that Uicheonrok differentiates reference-worthy commentaries from unworthy ones so that it could suggest an academic guideline for Buddhist study. However, unlike Gaewon-seokgyorok, Uicheonrok only contains commentaries and this fundamentally distinguishes it from Gaewon-seokgyorok. Uicheonrok is also the very first catalogue of commentaries whose sources of commentaries are not limited to certain Buddhist sects. And for the fact that Uicheonrok contains commentaries actually distributed at the time, it is also possible to comprehend the appearance of important Buddhist writings in the Buddhist society of Koryeo Dynasty through Uicheonrok. The compositional structure of Uicheonrok can be clearly understood by considering its connection with preceding Buddhist catalogues. It is quite interesting to find that Uicheonrok had adopted compositional merits of Chinese Buddhist catalogues and changed them to make a better structure to contain commentaries in it. Buddhist catalogues in China, since Tang Dynasty period, had put two classification methods together; one is to classify scriptures in chronological order or the order of translators era; the other is to classify scriptures according to their distinct features. During this process, it had become very important to discriminate the authenticity of scriptures. Uicheonrok classified commentaries according to their features and removed unworthy commentaries from its contents. Through this sorting process, it had embodied the spirit of authenticity discrimination. Uicheonrok had also partially adopted merits of chronological classification method by adding an appendix of biographies of important figures in the history of Buddhism. Though Uicheonrok had emulated the compositional structure of Chinese Buddhist catalogues, its detailed structure and contents still have their own distinct features. While Chinese catalogues categorized scriptures into Mahayana and Hinayana sections, Uicheonrok had commentaries classified into three sections of the Tripitaka and then added Mahayana and Hinayana categories under each sections. This difference could suggest that Uicheon, who thought that Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism were in a gradational relationship, had compiled this book from the perspective of combined studies (兼學). And a considerable number of commentaries under Hinayana Buddhism category in Abhidharma section were catalogued for the very first time or verified as a solitary existing copy. Thus, the fact that Uicheonrok contains such rare commentaries proves the historical significance it has as a catalogue of Buddhist writings. By examining commentaries in the Lotus Sutra and the Avatamska Sutra categories, where the biggest number of commentaries are contained, this study has discovered that Uicheon made much importance of doctrinal study and practical self-cultivation from the perspective of combined practice of self-cultivation and doctrinal study (敎觀幷修). Commentaries in the Avatamska Sutra category are arranged in order to help people to understand the entire meaning of the sutra and Kwanmun (觀門, the method of practice) first, and then learn more detailed thoughts of the sutra. Uicheon, to put it more specifically, placed commentaries of priests from the Jiron Sect at the top of the list in order to reflect the academic tradition of the Avatamska Sutra which was initiated by the Jiron Sect and then handed down to the Avatamska Sect. The academic relations of doctrinal study among Jieom (智儼), Beopjang (法藏), and Jingkwan (澄觀) can also be verified from it. The fact that Uicheon had highly regarded writings of Jingkwan can be an evidence of his special interests on the Avatamska study of Jingkwan who emphasized the importance of practical self-cultivation. Commentaries in the Lotus Sutra category are arranged in order to help people to gain basic knowledge of the sutra and then proceed to deal with more detailed teachings as well. There is a big group of commentaries of priests from the Cheontae Sect in the category and this fact suggests that Uicheon had intended to compose the category with the study of Cheontae Sect as the center. He also included commentaries on Shamatha-vipasyana (止觀) in Abhidharma section in order to emphasize practical self-cultivation. Along with these commentaries, Uicheon added the contents of discussions between Sangapa (山家派, the orthodox school of Cheontae Sect) and Sanoepa (山外派, the unorthodox school of Cheontae Sect) to Uicheonrok from a well-balanced perspective on various Buddhist theories. From the information gathered above, it is possible to say that Uicheon, from the perspective of combined practice of self-cultivation and doctrinal study, had compiled Uicheonrok to suggest an encompassing direction in Buddhist Study which embraces various thoughts from the entire Buddhist sects. It has also been verified that Uicheon had systematized Uicheonrok to accord with basic features of Buddhist catalogues and enthusiastically included new commentaries in it, on the basis of his profound knowledge about the developing process of Buddhist catalogues. In this sense, Uicheonrok can be regarded as one of the most important works in the history of Buddhism.Maste
