Purpose: To review systematically the qualitative research related to the patient-safety competence of nurses based on nurses’ nursing experiences, synthesizing the results understanding. Method: The well-known Thomas and Harden meta-synthesis method was applied. Five databases were searched for relevant literature: CINAHL , RISS , DBpia, KISS, NDSL. Results: Six qualitative studies were selected for review. Three themes were synthesized: patient-safety incidents and patient-safety competency of nurses in emergency situations; processes to advance patient-safety competency in nursing; advancing patient-safety competency in nursing. Eight subthemes were identified. Conclusion: This study improved the understanding of nurses’ experiences in terms of patient-safetycompetenc. Based on systematic review and meta-synthesis of basic patient-care data, study results suggest a direction for the development of patient-safety competencies in nursing and provide evidence for further research.

Purpose: Recently, with the increasing demand for a evidence-based practice model in the health care area, qualitative meta-synthesis studies that provide a comprehensive understanding of phenomena of interest has increased. This study was conducted to understand the concept of qualitative meta-synthesis and guide the application of appropriate methods. Methods: This study is a literature review to address and analyze concepts and methods used in qualitative meta-synthesis studies. Results: The definition and purpose of qualitative meta-synthesis, philosophical background, procedures and outcomes are described. And the meta-ethnography, which is widely applied, was described. In addition, grounded theory, critical interactive synthesis, and meta-study were briefly introduced. It is also desirable to evaluate the quality of the primary research paper by utilizing evaluation criteria and evaluation tools to select the primary research paper, which also affects the quality of qualitative meta-synthetic studies. It is necessary for the researcher to recognize the epistemological difference in qualitative meta-synthesis, to consider saturation of the primary research paper, and to minimize the decontextualization of the primary research paper. Above all, the creative interpretation of researchers should provide expanded knowledge and insights into the research area. Conclusion: By clarifying the purpose of qualitative meta-synthesis, the researcher should ensure justification for performing qualitative meta-synthesis. Researchers also need to make efforts to ensure methodological transparency in order to overcoming the limitations of qualitative meta-synthesis.

Purpose: This study was aimed to provide in-depth understanding of male nurses’ work adaptation experience and suggest future directions for nursing interventions for them by synthesizing individual qualitative findings. Methods: Qualitative meta-synthesis method suggested by Sandelowski and Barroso was utilized. A total of 6 qualitative studies’ findings were synthesized to describe male nurses’ experience of work adaptation in clinical settings. Results: The major task regarding male nurses’ work adaptation was ‘planting himself in the workplace.’ Its contextual and related factors to the task include: extraordinary choice for men, female-centered hierarchical work culture, gender difference vs. interindividual difference, stereotyped view on ‘male’ nurses, strengthening work identity of nursing profession, and dim future even after many years of experience. Conclusion: The findings illuminated the necessity of orchestrated efforts from both female and male nurses to form work environments overcoming gender bias and promoting adaptation of male nurses in clinical settings.

이 연구는 3-(1,8나프탈이미도)프로필메타아크릴레이트(NIPM)와 GMA공중합체의 합성과 물성에 관한 과제로서 나프탈이미드 발색단을 가진 공중합체의 조성, 모노머 반응성비, 공명효과(Q)와 극성효과 (e), 형광특성 등을 조사하였다. Azobisisobutyronitronitryl(AIBN) 개시제와 dimethylformamide(DMF) 용매를 60℃에서 공중합하였다. Fineman-Ross(F-R)와 Kelen-Tṻdṏs(K-T)법으로 부터 단량체 반응성비를 구하였으며, r₁값이 r₂보다 크게 나타났다. NIPM이 공중합체내에서 GMA보다 더 많음을 알 수 있다. 380 nm에서 약한 분자 형광띠와 460 nm에서 강한 중합체 엑시머 형광띠가 나타났다.

Glycosyl acrylate and methacrylate were synthesized by lipase-catalyzed esterification of vinyl acrylate and vinyl methacrylate with β-methyl glucoside in t-butanol as a reaction medium. At the optimum conditions of initial concentration of 150g/l β-methyl glucoside, molar ratio of 1 : 3, 5%(w/v) lipase(Novozym 435) and 50℃, we attained up to 100% conversion for enzymatic glycosylation of vinyl acrylate and vinyl methacrylate by supersaturated solvent process. The polymerizable glycosyl acrylates and methacrylate are expected to have biomedical application as hydrophilic monomers and hydration modifiers to be used for biocdmpatible hydrogel.
