The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of perceived stress, fine dust risk perception, and resilience in patients with respiratory and circulatory disorders, and investigate the relationship between these variables.
A questionnaire survey was conducted on 184 patients with respiratory and circulatory diseases over the age of 20 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression analysis using the SPSS program.
The study found perceived stress, resilience, family relationship, and type of disease to be factors affecting the stress response of people with respiratory and circulatory disorders.
Understanding the perceived stress, resilience, family relationship, and type of respiratory and circulatory disorder prevents stress response and contributes to stress nursing.
The present study examined the different types and characteristics of professionalism recognized by physician assistants. This study utilized Q methodology. A total of 12 physician assistants were interviewed and 77 Q-populations were constructed by referring to the interview data and related literature. After extracting a total of 35 Q statements, 30 participants sorted Q statements. Four types of perceptions about the professionalism of physician assistants were identified: “system establishment-oriented,” “identity seeking,” “role conflict,” and “skepticism recognition.” Confirmation of these four types can be interpreted as reflecting not only the positive and negative attitudes toward professionalism but also the diverse subjectivity that physician assistants have in their occupation. To have positive professionalism, it is necessary to develop an educational program that considers the characteristics of the types of perceptions derived from this study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate nursing students’ disaster experience, perception and stress. Data were collected from 374 nursing students from three nursing colleges in Seoul with self- reported questionnaires. Analysis was performed by descriptive statistics and t-test. The average score of disaster perception was 3.2 out of 5 points, while disaster stress was 5.7 out of 10 points. There was a significant difference in disaster stress with disaster experience. In conclusion, a program is needed to educate nursing students about management of disaster stress. It is also recommended to establish a curriculum which provides opportunities to learn internationally standardized essential disaster nursing tasks.
