The research method was a descriptive research study. The subject were 262 of healthcare workers of general hospitals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Chi-square test, ANOVA, Person's correlation coefficient and Multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program. As a result of the correlation analysis SP Performance was positively correlated with attitude (r=.18, p=.003), safety environment (r=.42, p<.001) and awareness (r=.63, p<.001). As a result of the stepwise multiple regression analysis on the factors influencing SP performance were SP awareness and safety environment. Therefore, in order to improved performance of SP, it's important to improve a awareness and safety environment of SP. Different and persistent infection management educational programs that consider the occupational characteristics and monitoring are required.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among job satisfaction and positive psychological capital and self-leadership in general hospital nurses and to provide the basic data for the development of job satisfaction intervention programs. The data were collected from 120 nurses working in the six general hospital located S and Y city using self-reported questionnaires and April 1 2017 to April 15 2017. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Scheffe, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 20.0 program. Job satisfaction was found to be in a significant positive correlation with positive psychological capital and self-leadership. The result of the multiple regression indicates that positive psychological capital and self-leadership predict 27.5%(F=23.51, p<.001) of job satisfaction. Therefore it is necessary to develop convergence program to strengthen the job satisfaction of clinical nurses'.

As external data have become important corporate information resources, there are growing needs to combine them with internal data. This paper proposes an ontology-based scheme to combine external data with multi-dimensional databases, which shall be called multi-dimensional event ontology. In the ontology, external data are represented as events. Event characteristics such as actors, places, times, targets are linked to dimensions of a multi-dimensional database. By mapping event characteristics to database dimensions, external event data are shared via multi-dimensional hierarchies. This paper proposes rules to synchronize information sharing in multi-dimensional event ontology such as upward event information sharing, downward event information sharing and complex event information sharing. These rules are implemented using Protege. This study has a value in suggesting Big Data information sharing processes using an event database framework.

The specific purpose was to determine the effect of walking on the body composition and hematological index of hemodialysis patients in order to confirm the relationship between activity and health level of hemodialysis patients. The research method is a cross-sectional descriptive survey conducted in hemodialysis patients.The subjects were 66 hemodialysis patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment in B city. As a result of the study, walking was decreased in hemodialysis patients, and there was a difference in hematological index according to walking, but there was no difference in body composition. As body weight increased, skeletal mass, body fat mass, body mass index, abdominal fat percentage, basal metabolism, and protein increased, but total cholesterol and high-density cholesterol decreased. This study proposes to expand the number of subjects of hemodialysis patients to investigate by adding nutritional intake in addition to walking, body composition and hematological index.

Objective: This study is a descriptive research study aimed to identify the needs of self-reinforcement education by applying IPA(Important-Performance-Analysis) techniques to develop the health care empowerment programs for the elderly with hypertension. Methods: The subjects of this study were 128 elderly people with hypertension over 65 years of age in areas A and B, and data were collected from 6 researchers and research assistants from May 11 to June 26, 2020. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and t-test. Results: Although the question with the highest education demands were 'I try to get my health care providers to my preferences for my treatment.' and with the greatest difference between importance and performance is the question 'I take my commitment to my treatment seriously'. Conclusion: From the results of this study, it is considered that a strategy that reflects the components of educational needs and healthcare empowerment is necessary when developing healthcare empowerment programs for the elderly with hypertension.

This study investigated predictors of the behavior related to particulate matter in nursing students. The participants in this descriptive study were 186 nursing students at K university in G city from May 1 to 14 in 2018. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The level of knowledge(10.6/15), attitude(59.94/75) and behavior(42.56/60) were relatively high. The significant predictors of the behavior were attitude(β=.591, p<.001), smoking(β=-.134, p=.049) and respiratory disease(β=.133, p=.025), and explained 40.1% of it. Educational programs to enhance nursing students' health promoting behaviors against particulate matter must be focused on attitude change.
