Descriptive statistics, Pearson's x2 test, and Fisher's exact test were calculated using SPSS 25.0.Results: Most families of persons with dementia used electronic devices proficiently at least to some extent (n=117, 86%). It was found that they were willing to use the VR-based education program with a certain degree of inconvenience (n=133, 97.8%). When participating in VR-based education programs, the most preferred device was open VR (n=77, 56.6%) followed by closed VR (n=42, 30.9%). The preferred training time for all four devices was around 20 minutes. There was a statistically significant difference between proficiency in electronic device use and gender (x2=9.11, p=.045), age (x2=19.83, p=.004), and educational background (x2=18.46, p=.007), whereas only gender (x2=12.17, p=.006) was a significant factor for a willingness to be inconvenienced to get educated using VR devices. In the case of the preferred interaction method, only gender (x2=10.08, p=.033) had a statistically significant difference.Conclusion: Families of persons with dementia had a positive intention to use VR-based education programs, regardless of age and educational background, even with the inconvenience. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the production of VR-based education programs in the future.","PeriodicalId":52377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89598262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two focus-group interviews with 16 care workers from 16 nursing homes and home-care centers were conducted between February 1 and April 28, 2019. We collected data through these two focus-group interviews.Results: Of the 16 participants, 11 were care workers from nursing homes for older adults and five were from home-care centers. Altogether, we formulated 180 meanings from the original data and derived 64 codes from these meanings. Five categories were identified through systematic conceptualization: “panic about emergencies”, “difficulty recognizing an emergency”, “desperate need for real education”, “unsystematic emergency responses”, and “dealing with the aftermath of a patient’s death”; the categories were extracted from 21 subcategories.Conclusion: Care workers faced sudden emergencies while caring for older adults and coped with them based on their previous experiences. Nevertheless, they faced difficulties in recognizing emergencies. Our findings may help institutionalize systematic and consistent on-the-job training programs to augment care workers’ emergency preparedness.","PeriodicalId":52377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83079280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of depression on the relationship between nutritional status and physical and mental QoL in older adults and to provide a foundation for developing an effective nursing intervention program to improve QoL.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, correlational study. A convenience sample of 154 older adults was recruited from J Province, South Korea, between December 2019 and August 2020. Data were analyzed using PROCESS macro with a 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval for the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.Results: QoL positively correlated with nutritional status and negatively correlated with depression. After controlling for general covariates, depression partially mediated the relationship between nutritional status and QoL in older adults (physical QoL [Effect=0.41, 95% CI=0.08~0.81], mental QoL [Effect=0.38, 95% CI=0.04~0.79]).Conclusion: Health promotion strategies are needed for older adults with poor nutritional status and high levels of depression. Additionally, nutritional status and depression in older adults affect QoL, with depression affecting QoL through nutritional status as a mediator. Therefore, interventions to improve the nutritional status and reduce depression among older adults must be developed and implemented.","PeriodicalId":52377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90491076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is necessary to investigate TGS to develop fall prevention programs because the chance of falling at home increases among older adults.Methods: Data were gathered from 91 older adults enrolled in six home-visiting care centers located in C city. Six trained social workers at each center visited older adults’ homes and gathered data between March 29 and April 15, 2021.Results: There were significant differences in TGS by gender (t=2.15, p=.035), age (r=-.28, p=.006), education level (F=6.69, p<.001), living arrangement (F=6.13, p=.003), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (t=-2.50, p=.014). Levels of TGS were significantly correlated with self-rated health status (r=.28, p=.08), satisfaction with daily life together (r=.28, p=.007), and number of falls (r=-.22, p=.035). TGS was influenced by being educated(high school and beyond) (β=.28, p=.004), living with a spouse only (β=.26, p=.009), having DM (β=.23, p=.015), and satisfaction with doing daily life together with caregivers (β=.21, p=.030). The regression model explained 25% of study participants’ TGS.Conclusion: TGS among Korean older adults receiving services from home-visiting caregivers was low.

The hypothetical model was constructed on the basis of the expanded Job Demand-Job Resources Model by Xanthopoulou, Baker, Demerouti, and Schaufeli and previous studies related to nurses’ burnout and work engagement.Methods: The study participants included 232 nurses working in seven long-term care hospitals with over 100 bed located in Jeollanam-do and Jeollabuk-do. Data were collected from February 6 to February 16, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and structural equation modeling by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs.Results: The final model showed a good fit to the empirical data: The factors that influenced burnout of nurses in long-term care hospitals were resilience (β=-.37), emotional demands (β=.29), work overload (β=.24), organization-based self-esteem (β=-.19), and social support (β=-.18) explaining 60.5% of the variance. The factors that influenced work engagement for nurses in long-term care hospitals were resilience (β=.44), burnout (β=-.32), and career-growth opportunity (β=.18) explaining 66.4% of the variance.Conclusion: The model constructed in this study is recommended as a model to explain and predict the burnout and work engagement of nurses in long-term care hospitals. The results suggest that strategies for decreasing the burnout of nurses in long-term care hospitals should focus on resilience, emotional demands, work overload, organization-based self-esteem, and social support. In addition, strategies for increasing nurses’ work engagement should focus on resilience, burnout, career-growth opportunity, and social support.","PeriodicalId":52377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89704360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
