Title: Moderating Effect of General Self-Efficacy on the Relationship between Pregnancy Stress, Daily Hassles Stress, and Preterm Birth Risk in Women Experiencing Preterm Labor: A Cross-Sectional Study All Author(s): Hyun-Jeong Cho; Jeung-Im Kim Abstract: Purpose: This study investigated the moderating role of general self-efficacy (GSE) on how stress caused by pregnancy and daily hassle affect the risk of preterm birth (PTB) in women experiencing preterm labor. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 196 pregnant women experiencing preterm labor before 37 weeks of gestation. We used IBM SPSS Statistics 27 and employed Hayes process macro version 4 (model 1) and hierarchical regression to analyze the moderating effect of GSE on the relationship between pregnancy stress, daily hassle stress, and PTB risk. Results: Stress caused by pregnancy and daily hassle was positively correlated to PTB risk (r = .54, p < .001; r = .25, p < .001, respectively). While GSE did not significantly correlate with pregnancy stress, it negatively correlated with daily hassle stress (r = - .19, p = .009). GSE significantly moderated the relationship between combined stressors and PTB risk. As GSE levels increased, escalation in PTB risk in response to increasing stress levels was a more pronounced, highlighting a complex interaction between higher GSE levels and response to escalating stress levels. This model accounted for 39.5% of the variance in the PTB risk. Conclusion: Higher GSE may amplify the impact of stress on PTB risk, rather than mitigate it, which suggests a more nuanced role of GSE in the stress response of pregnant women at risk of preterm labor. GSE should be considered in care strategies, and managing its impact on stress perception and responses in pregnant women is crucial.

Title: Comparison of Families with and without a Suicide Prevention Plan Following a Suicidal Attempt by a Family Member All Author(s): H. D. Cho; N. Y. Kim; H. W. Gil; D. S. Jeong; S. Y. Hong Abstract: The frequency and extent of the existence of a familial suicide prevention plan may differ across cultures. The aim of this work was, therefore, to determine how common it was for families to develop a suicide prevention plan and to compare the main measures used by families with and without such a plan, after an attempt to commit suicide was made by a member of a family living in a rural area of Korea. On the basis of the presence or absence of a familial suicide prevention plan, we compared 50 recruited families that were divided into 2 groups, with Group A (31 families) employing a familial suicide prevention plan after a suicide attempt by a family member, and Group B (19 families) not doing so. The strategy that was employed most frequently to prevent a reoccurrence among both populations was promoting communication among family members, followed by seeking psychological counseling and/or psychiatric treatment. Contrary to our expectation, the economic burden from medical treatment after a suicide attempt did not influence the establishment of a familial suicide prevention plan. It is a pressing social issue that 38% (19 of 50) of families in this study did not employ a familial suicide prevention plan, even after a family member had attempted suicide. Regional suicide prevention centers and/or health authorities should pay particular attention to these patients and their families.

Title: 시청각자료를 이용한 환자교육이 대장내시경 검사에 미치는 영향 All Author(s): K. H. Choi; T. H. Lee; S. H. Lee; H. J. Lee; E. O. Kim; J. E. Jang; Y. S. Lee; M. S. Jeong; S. J. Park; E. H. Choi; S. H. Ji; S. M. Lee Abstract: Background/Aims: The purpose of this study is to investigate how effectively audiovisual aids education can improve patients' bowel preparation and their satisfaction during colonoscopic examination. Methods: The control group consisted of 116 patients and the experimental group consisted of 109 patients. The control group was given the existing test guidebooks and the experimental group was offered audiovisual aids education immediately before the test. After the test, the patients assessed. Results: In regard to the organization and consistency of colonoscopic education, the experimental group showed a statistically significant score (p=0.000). In regard to satisfaction with the colonoscopy, the average score of the control group was 7.50 +/- 2.02, while that of the experimental group was 8.63 +/- 1.76 (p=0.000). In regard to bowel preparation, the experimental group showed a statistically meaningful score compared to that of the control group (p=0.002). In terms of examination time comparison, the experimental group returned a statistically meaningful score (p=0.005). In regard to the nurses' task satisfaction, according to the information offered, the experimental group showed a statistically significant score (8.47 +/- 1.32) compared to the control group (6.49 +/- 2.23)(p=0.000). Conclusions: The audiovisual aids education enhanced the patients' satisfaction. Therefore these aids are worth incorporating within nursing methods.
