“…Therefore, education on general first aid as well as BLS should be offered so that direct LTC workers can properly understand various types of emergencies taking place in their service field and cope with them. In addition, the results of this study are consistent with the results of earlier studies [9,30], which reported that care workers with higher first aid knowledge are better at coping with emergencies. These care workers could improve their coping abilities in emergencies; their current expertise on first aid has been accumulated from different experiences of caring for the elderly along with theoretical knowledge of first aid.…”

This study provides basic data for enhancing coping abilities in emergencies concerning direct long-term care (LTC) workers, which is necessary for providing safe care for elderly patients living in facilities and at home. A survey was conducted including 327 care workers who officially qualified as long-term providers for elderly patients through elderly care facilities and a domiciliary service center. The majority (91.4%) of the care workers surveyed experienced an emergency, but of them, only 36.4% performed first aid and 56.8% failed to perform first aid, for which the emergency was reported to nurses. The average score regarding first aid knowledge was 8.40 out of 21, and the mean scores for the subtopics of basic life support and general first aid were low (3.56 out of 7 and 5.84 out of 14, respectively). Nearly three-quarters (72.5%) responded that they were unaware of emergency coping methods, and the score for coping abilities in emergencies was also low (52.93 out of 100). The results indicate that factors affecting coping abilities in emergencies were related to the size of the workplace and first aid experience. We propose the development and implementation of an emergency coping training program focusing on case studies for direct LTC workers.

“…Nurses' knowledge about pain management was measured using by scale by Watt-Watson [13] which has been used in previous research evaluating nurses' knowledge about pain management [8,9]: general knowledge (e.g., patients may sleep in spite of severe pain) about pain 20 items, knowledge on the use of analgesics (e.g., Morphine has a dose ceiling) 20 items, knowledge on analgesic classification (e.g., Ibuprofen, Opioid/ Non-opioid) 10 items. Correctly scored items were assigned a score of one and incorrect or unanswered items were scored zero.…”

“…The nurses acknowledged that they needed pharmacological knowledge to underpin their practice of patient assessment, nurse prescribing and drug administration. Several studies have indicated that a pain knowledge deficit is the most important problem regarding pain management and these studies have found that many nurses lack pain management [8][9][10][11][12]. These nurses have misconceptions about pain assessment and the appropriate use of analgesics, Additionally, some nurses lack basic knowledge about the use of opioid analgesics risk of addiction, and interventions related to pain relief [8,9].…”

This study was done to describe level of knowledge and performance of pain management by nurses in general hospitals. Methods: The study was conducted from August 1 to 28, 2014 with 141 nurses from a general hospital in B city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS 20.0. Results: Average correct response rate for knowledge was 62.7%, indicating poor knowledge of pain management. Mean score for knowledge of pain management was 31.33±3.24 out of 50(general knowledge about pain 14.02±2.18 out of 20, knowledge on use of analgesics 9.21±1.97 out of 20, knowledge on analgesic classification 8.16±1.00 out of 10). Mean score for performance of pain management was 3.19±.44 out of 4. There was significant difference in knowledge of pain management by age. Performance of pain management differed significantly according to age and type of working unit. No significant relationship was found between knowledge and performance of pain management. Conclusion: These findings show that nurses who have good knowledge do not always have good performance of pain management. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new strategies to promote performance as well as continued pain management education to increase ability of nurses to manage pain.

“…This can also be seen from the results of the evaluation of educational programs targeting caregivers in previous studies, showing that in-depth education on dementia diseases, nursing, and end-of-life care is necessary [9]. In addition, as a result of surveying dementiarelated knowledge among caregivers in a previous study that looked back to about 10 years ago in the training course for caregivers, the correct answer rate for all questions was 66.4%, and the error rate of 'the cause of dementia symptoms and problem behavior' question was very high [10]. In addition, the education requirement for dementia was relatively high at 121 points out of 160, and the items with the highest demand included methods of coping with dementia patients' violent behavior, wandering, refusal to receive care, sleep disorders, delirium, delusions, etc.…”

The number of dementia patients in Korea is increasing with the increase in the elderly population. Accordingly, the importance of the role of the caregivers, who are the main care worker other than the family, is increasing. Therefore, in this study, a virtual reality practice program was developed to enhance the practical competency of caregivers who take care of dementia patients, and the effects were analyzed. The caregiver said that among the mental behaviors of dementia patients, aggression and delusion were the most difficult. Based on this information, a practice program was developed by realizing a case of a male dementia patient who expressed refusal to bathing help as an aggressive behavior due to delusion in virtual reality, and the effect of the virtual reality practice program was analyzed for five caregivers. As a result, ‘interest in new teaching methods’, ‘improving concentration of practical education based on real cases’, and ‘increasing confidence in caring for dementia patients’ were found. As this study is a pilot test, it is necessary to repeat the study with more subjects in the future, and to develop virtual reality implementation cases for various mental and behavioral symptoms.
