Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing health promoting behavior of school-aged children on community child center. Methods: Participant were 207 elementary school student located in Mokpo. For data analysis descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression were used with SPSS/WIN ver 18.0 program. Results: The mean score for health promoting behavior was below the lower point at $3.39{\pm}0.61$. There were significant differences in health promoting behavior according to gender (t=9.41, p=.002), father's job (F=2.28, p=.048), perceived health status (F=5.70, p=.001), There were significant correlations between health promoting behavior and self-esteem (r=.655, p=.001), self-efficacy (r=.530, p=.001). The explanatory power of these variables accounted for 47.1% of health promoting behavior. The most significant variable was self-esteem (t=7.60, p=.001) and explained 42.8%. Conclusion: The finding indicate that self-esteem of children on community child center are important variables for health promoting behavior. This result suggests that interventions focusing on self-esteem, on enhance health promoting behavior.

Purpose: This study was done to examine factors influencing cell phone addiction for middle school students by gender. Methods: The participants were 228 male students and 228 female students in two middle schools. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires, and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 19.0 program. Results: Cell phone addictions of female students are higher than those of male students. Factors influencing cell phone addiction for male students were mimicry, sending text message on weekdays, immediate self-control, grade, syntony, and monthly call charge, explaining 42.2% of variance in cell phone addiction. Factors influencing cell phone addiction for female students were internet addiction, sending and receiving text message on weekends, immediate self-control, long-term self-control, use time, main use, syntony, and monthly call charge, explaining 46.8% of variance in cell phone addiction. Conclusion: The results indicated that cell phone addiction and its influencing factors differed by gender. Therefore the approach to effective cell phone addiction management program for middle school students should consider gender differences.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of simulation-based practice using standardized patients for the care of woman with postpartum hemorrhage as related to clinical performance competence and critical thinking deposition of nursing students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-post test experimental design was used. Fifty four third year students were recruited, 29 students for the experimental group and 25 students for the control group. The simulation-based practice about nursing care related to postpartum hemorrhage included skill training, team-based practice, and debriefing. It was implemented with the experimental group for about 30 minutes in October 6, 2011. Data were analyzed using frequency, ratio, chi-square, Fisher's exact probability, and t-test using the SPSS/WIN program. Results: The experimental group who had the simulation-based practice showed significantly higher knowledge and skills of clinical performance competence than the control group (t=2.19, p=.003). But the experimental group who had the simulation-based practice did not show significantly higher critical thinking deposition than the control group (t=-0.32, p=.748). Conclusion: The results indicate that a simulation-based practice is an effective teaching method to improve knowledge and skills for clinical performance competence of nursing students. Further study is needed to identify the effect of a simulation-based practice on nursing attitudes.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the level of uncertainty, transfer anxiety, and to identify the participant's characteristics those influence them by targeting the mothers of transferred patients from the pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to the general ward. Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational study. The participants were 94 mothers of children who had been scheduled to transfer from the PICU. Results: The item mean score for uncertainty was 2.16 (4 scale), transfer anxiety was 2.15 (4 scale). There were statistically significant positive correlation between uncertainty and transfer anxiety (r=.591). The level of uncertainty significantly differed according to education level (p=.035), duration of marriage (p=.043), and monthly income (p=.022). The level of transfer anxiety significantly differed according to religion (p=.044), duration of marriage (p=.043), and severity of illness at transfer (p=.047). Conclusion: In order to reduce the transfer anxiety and uncertainty of the mothers of patients, efficient communication with medical staff and clear informations are needed to reduce ambiguity. Also, standard protocol should be developed for improving communication among medical staffs.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the degree of stress and health promotion behavior, coping style and their relationship of university students. Methods: With a descriptive survey design, a self-report study was conducted and collected 174 responses from university students in Chungcheongnam-do. Descriptive statistics, and pearson's correlation were used to analyze data. Results: The mean score of stress was $63.1{\pm}15$. The relationship between health promotion behavior and coping style significantly correlated. Conclusion: This study also shows that coping style significantly correlated with walking day for more than 10 minutes, dietary practice guidelines score. Therefore, consideration of stress and coping style should be included in the development of a health promotion program for university students.
