The total subjects of this study were 412 patients who have the experience of fall accident, among them 31 was who have fallen during hospitalization and 381 was who visited emergency room and out patient clinic. The purposes of this study were to determine the characteristics, risk factors and results of fall accident and to suggest the nursing strategies for prevention of fall. Data were collected by reviewing the medical records and interviewing with the fallers and their family members. For data analysis spss/pc+ program was utilized for descriptive statistics, adjusted standardized X2-test. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Total subjects were 412 fallers, of which 245 (59.5%) were men and 167 (40.5%) were women. Age were 0-14 years 79 (19.2%), 15-44 years 125 (30.4%), 45-64 years 104 (25.2%), over 65 years 104 (25.2%). 2) There was significant association between age and the sexes (X2 = 39.17, P = 0.00). 3) There was significant association between age and history of falls (X2 = 44.41, P = .00). And history of falls in the elderly was significantly associated with falls. 4) There was significant association with age and medical diagnosis (X2 = 140.66, P = .00), chief medical diagnosis were hypertension (34), diabetes mellitus (22), arthritis (11), stroke (8), fracture (7), pulmonary tuberculosis (6), dementia (5) and cataract (5). 5) There was significant association between age and intrinsic factors: cognitive impairment, mobility impairment, insomnia, emotional problems, urinary difficulty, visual impairments, hearing impairments, use of drugs (sedatives, antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, antidepressants) (P < 0.05). But there was no significant association between age and dizziness (X2 = 2.87, P = .41). 6) 15.3% of total fallers were drunken state when they were fallen. 7) Environmental factors of fall accident were unusual posture (50.9%), slips (35.2%), trips (9.5%) and collision (4.4%). 8) Most of falls occurred during the day time, peak frequencies of falls occurred from 1 pm to 6 pm and 7 am to 12 am. 9) The places of fall accident were roads (22.6%), house-stairs (16.7%), rooms, floors, kitchen (11.2%), the roof-top, veranda, windows (10.9%), hospital (7.5%), ice or snowy ways (5.8%), bathroom (4.9%), playground, park (4.9%), subway-stairs (4.4%) and public-bathrooms (2.2%). 10) Activities at the time of fall accident were walking (37.6%), turning around or reaching for something (20.9%), going up or down stairs (19.2%), exercise, working (17.4%), up or down from a bed (2.7%), using wheelchair or walking aids, standing up or down from a chair (2.2%) and standing still (2.2%). 11) Anatomical locations of injuries by falls were head, face, neck (31.3%), lower extremities (29.9%), upper extremities (20.6%), spine, thorax, abdomen or pelvic contents (11.4%) and unspecified (2.9%). 12) Types of injures were fracture (47.6%), b","PeriodicalId":76576,"journal":{"name":"Taehan kanho.

In the first stage all of those groups were educated for two weeks in national rehabilitation center. But only two group nurses, one is in a urban and the other in a rural community, have been educated continually in the field through discussing rehabilitation care case study. The data in this study were gathered from three group health nurses and analysed by SAS computer program. The results about knowledge, attitude and practice changes of the three group nurses were as follows. 1. In the pre education state the mean point of all nurses' attitude for rehabilitation was 59, but in the post education state that was 90. The difference between pre and post attitude is very significant (t = -14.1, p < 0.0001). 2.

The objects of the study were elderly in-patients over the age of 65 hospitalized at two General hospitals in Chonju; 102 subjects filled out the 60 question survey between December 16 and 24, 1996. The analysis process was conducted using SPSS producing percentage, mean and standard deviation, maximum and minimum values, t-test, ANOVA, and so on. The results are as follows: 1. From the general results of the survey, one can observe that statistically significant differences appeared in various levels of education of the subjects: no education(2.98), primary school completed(2.91), middle school or higher completed(2.77). As shown, the lower level of education correlates with higher care-giving expectation. 2. On a scale of 1(minimum) to 4(maximum), the mean levels of care expected by elderly in-patients from their families is 2.93, with a standard deviation of 0.28. The level of psychological care expected(mean 3.02, standard deviation 0.31) is higher than the level of care expected(mean 2.83, standard deviation 0.34). 3. The level of care expected among those of different levels of dependency for daily living (differentiated as dependent, partially dependent, independent) was highest among the partially dependent(mean 2.98, standard deviation 0.17), but the results were not statistically significant. 4. Elderly in-patients with high levels of emotive interaction with their families expected relatively high levels of physical care, while the highest levels of socio-psychological care were expected from those who reported normal levels of emotive interaction with their families. However, We can see that low levels of care are expected from those reporting low levels of emotive interaction with their families. Overall, the differences in the level of care expected between those reporting different levels of emotive interaction with their families was not shown to be statistically significant.</p>","PeriodicalId":76576,"journal":{"name":"Taehan kanho.

Terminally ill patients were used to be treated in the hospital in the past. In these days, however, they are forced to have home cares with little assistance from the qualified medical personnel because of insufficient hospital facilities, which are even short for the need of emergency patients and provide priority cares to medical insurance beneficiaries with other acute problems. And yet, neither are there any administrative organizations nor systematic medical studies that deal with the level of terminally ill patient's need, their family's problems and resources of hospice care systems in Korea. Thus, most patients are not able to get appropriate medical care at the terminal stage of their lives. The objective of this study is to make comprehensive database for various hospice care organization currently in operation, link them through medical information system, and develop an easily accessible hospice care model that meets the need of most Korean people. Our survey results may be summarized as follows: Nationally there are 40 organizations that provide partial or full hospice care. However, these organizations are not linked to any formal medical service network. Furthermore, the objective of hospice care, care principles, personnel with appropriate training, educational programs, standard for care, costs, consulting service to patients' family members, the extent of medical care from professional staff members, status of hospice facility, and management of those institutions are neither clearly defined nor organized compared to the international hospice care standards. The surveys on patients of terminal stage, grouped in hospice and non-hospice care patients, reveal what they want visiting nursing care to help their pain control, psychological, social and spiritual demands. While the more than 90% of hospice care patients want to reduce their pains, the non-hospice care patients, in addition to their desire for pain control, demanded more psychological, social and spiritual helps as well.
