Service Users' Participation in Mental Health Nursing Education: Quasi-Experimental Design With Blended Learning Model.

Nursing students' negative perceptions of and reduced interest in individuals experiencing mental health challenges could lead to problems such as deteriorating quality of mental health nursing and lack of competent, qualified mental health nurses. Promoting changes and developments in mental health nursing education for greater effectiveness is pivotal. This study aimed to develop, introduce and validate a blended learning service user involvement programme for mental health nursing education-the first of its kind in South Korea.

Experiences of Mental Health Nurses in Providing Care to Patients Receiving Electroconvulsive Therapy in South Korea.

In recent years, the demand for electroconvulsive therapy has been increasing in South Korea. However, there are problems due to mental health nurses' lack of understanding about electroconvulsive therapy and the absence of systematic education. This study aimed to explore mental health nurses' experiences of providing care to patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy in South Korea.

A model for the involvement of service users as instructors into the psychiatric nursing curriculum in Korea: A qualitative study on participation experience.

For many years, attempts have been made to incorporate service users into psychiatric nursing education, particularly in European countries and Australia. In Asian countries, however, concrete examples of this are notably scarce, and the limited instances of implementation lack the necessary systematic organisation and long-term sustainability. This study systematically planned and implemented a psychiatric nursing curriculum that integrated service users in Korea.

Parents' lived experiences of losing adolescent children in the Korean Ferry Sewol disaster: Lessons through a qualitative meta-synthesis.

This study meta-synthesized qualitative studies on the parents' experiences of losing their adolescent children due to the human-made disaster, Ferry Sewol disaster in Korea, 2014. Five Korean and five international electronic databases were searched. Twenty-one studies were selected and critically appraised.

'I felt alive': A qualitative study of inpatients' perspectives on good mental health nursing in South Korea.

Although mental health nurses continuously strive for patients' well-being, patients still experience inpatient care negatively. To identify an individual's actual, mental health nursing care needs and offers them optimal benefits during their hospital stay, determining what patients perceive as good nursing should be prioritized. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to understand good mental health nursing from the inpatients' perspective.

Factors influencing mental health nurses in providing person-centered care.

Background: Mental health nurses advocate for patients through a person-centered approach because they care for people experiencing mental distress who tend to be limited to exercising their human rights and autonomy through interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it is necessary to provide high-quality person-centered care for these patients by identifying the influencing factors.

Aim: This study aims to identify the factors affecting mental health nurses in performing person-centered care for patients.

Experience of adolescents in mental health inpatient units: A metasynthesis of qualitative evidence.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Inpatient treatment is often necessary due to the vulnerability of adolescents' mental health, and hospitalization rates are increasing. There are both positive and negative experiences related to adolescent inpatient treatment. WHAT DOES THIS PAPER ADD TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: Inpatient ward environment and interactions with staff and peers are critical in adolescents' nursing care while undergoing inpatient treatment.

Development of an analytical method for simultaneous detection of psychotropic phenylalkylamines in hair by LC-MS/MS with a multi-mode reversed-phase column using pH gradient elution.

Phenylalkylamine derivatives, such as methamphetamine (MA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), phentermine, fenfluramine, phendimetrazine, amfepramone, and ketamine, are widely abused recreational or anorectic drugs in Korea, and their abuse has become a serious social problem. Hair is a useful specimen to prove chronic use and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has recently become a more popular tool for hair analysis due to sensitivity and simplicity in sample preparation. In order to overcome limitations of standard reversed-phase column to separate low molecular weight amines, we adopted a multi-mode reversed-phase column, Scherzo SS-C18, which was composed of strong ionic ligands and C18 ligands, and used pH gradient elution to separate seven psychotropic phenylalkylamines and their metabolites.

Quantitative analysis of sildenafil and tadalafil in various fake drugs recently distributed in Korea.

Illicit distribution of various illicit or counterfeit drugs containing sildenafil and tadalafil has increased and caused noticeable problems in Korea. This study has been performed to determine the content range of sildenafil and tadalafil in various fake drugs. Among the illicit or counterfeit drugs seized by Korean authorities, 105 exhibits were used for the quantification.

Determination of eperisone in human plasma by liquid chromatography-ESI-tandem mass spectrometry.

A sensitive and selective method for the determination of 4'-ethyl-3-methyl-3-piperidinopropiophenone hydrochloride (eperisone hydrochloride) in human plasma was developed and validated. The procedure employed an internal standard and a solvent extraction step followed by chromatography on a Xterra C18 minibore column. Detection was by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reaction monitoring.
