Advancing driving rehabilitation in Korea: the development of a tailored ICF Core Set.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a tailored International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for driving rehabilitation in South Korea, addressing the functional needs of individuals with disabilities and the gaps in the current rehabilitation system.

Materials And Methods: An initial item pool was created based on focus group interviews with 13 individuals with disabilities who use assistive driving technologies. This was followed by two Delphi rounds with 12 occupational therapy experts.

Determinants of successful driving rehabilitation training in licensed individuals with disabilities.

Previous studies have provided that self-driving can enhance the mobility of people with disabilities and their quality of life. The National Rehabilitation Center has been providing driving rehabilitation education for people with disabilities since 1994, as part of a welfare service project aimed at guaranteeing their right to free movement. However, there is no analysis of the status and results of driving rehabilitation education and evaluations in South Korea, and research on these programs is lacking.

Limitations of the investor information confirmation form in capturing investor risk propensity.

The financial consumer protection laws in South Korea emphasize the principle of suitability to ensure the well-being of the financial consumer. To adhere to these regulations, financial institutions utilize the behavioral risk assessment (BRA) form to assess investors' characteristics. This study evaluates the effectiveness of these forms in capturing investor risk propensities, using Economic Risk Attitude (ERA), Instrumental Risk-Taking (IRT), and Stimulating Risk-Taking (SRT) as comparative benchmarks.

Relationship Between Resilience, Community Participation, and Successful Aging Among Older Adults in South Korea: Mediating Role of Community Participation.

A high level of resilience is positively related to successful aging. However, interventions to increase resilience in older adults are not yet available. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of community participation in the relationship between resilience and successful aging.

Measurement Properties of the Stroke-Predischarge Occupational Therapy Assessment.

There is no comprehensive predischarge occupational therapy assessment tool in South Korea. The objective of this study was to determine Stroke-Predischarge Occupational Therapy Assessment (S-POTA) validity and reliability. Twenty-seven occupational therapists (OTs) assessed 97 patients with stroke.

The Development of Leisure Participation Assessment Tool for the Elderly.

Objectives: This study is aimed at developing multidimensional leisure participation assessment tool for the elderly to achieve quantitative and qualitative assessment of leisure participation and leisure exploration.

Methods: This study collected preliminary items through literature review, statistical office data, and survey of the elderly's leisure activities and considered the list of leisure activities as assessment items by conducting a Delphi survey. Reliability was verified through internal consistency and test-retest reliability.

Effects of a Cognitive-Functional Intervention Method on Improving Executive Function and Self-Directed Learning in School-Aged Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Single-Subject Design Study.

Background: School-aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) face many difficulties with self-directed learning because of their poor executive function. This leads to secondary problems such as learning disabilities and depression, so the role of intervention to improve executive function in school-aged children with ADHD is important.

Objective: The present study is aimed to investigate how cognitive-functional (Cog-Fun) intervention affected executive function of school-aged children with ADHD and the sustainability of these effects.

Validity of a novel computerized screening test system for mild cognitive impairment.

Unlabelled: ABSTRACTBackground:The mobile screening test system for screening mild cognitive impairment (mSTS-MCI) was developed for clinical use. However, the clinical usefulness of mSTS-MCI to detect elderly with MCI from those who are cognitively healthy has yet to be validated. Moreover, the comparability between this system and traditional screening tests for MCI has not been evaluated.

Undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards organ donation in Korea: Implications for education.

Organ donation from brain dead patients is a contentious issue in Korea within the cultural context of Confucian beliefs. Each year thousands of patients wait for organ donation note poor donation rates and importance of nurses in identifying potential donors. It is therefore important to identify knowledge levels and attitudes towards organ donation from brain dead patients of nursing students as future health workers.

Acetylcholinesterase and neuropathy target esterase activity in female and male rats exposed to pesticide terbufos.

An organophosphate pesticide terbufos (S-t-butylthiomethyl-O,O-diethyl phosphorodithioate; TBF) has been extensively used as an insecticide. A sexual dimorphism in TBF toxicity was not reported and remains unclear. The objective of the work was to investigate the influence of TBF on sexual dimorphism after oral administration of TBF to rats by using acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and neuropathy target esterase (NTE) as endpoints.
