The purposes of this study were to clarify whether the health belief model could explain the women's adoption of sterilization and to find the factors which influence the adoption of sterilization. To achieve these purpose, 35 women, who visited the family planning hospital to undergo an surgical operation for sterilization, were selected and named the group of adoption. Also, 36 women, who have the same demographic characteristics as the group of adoption, and have no sterilization among the married women, were selected and named the group of non-adoption. The measuring instruments used in this study were made by the researchers on the basis of the results of the review of the related literatures. The validity of these instruments was examined by one professor majoring in nursing and two family plmanning practioners. The reliability was proven by calculation of Cronbach's α with data of the group of adoption. The data was analyzed by t-test, X²-test, and ANOVA using Computer SAS system. The results were following: 1. Health belief model could be said to explain whether women accept the sterilization or not, because the degrees of susceptibility and severity for future pregnancy and the degree of benefit or adoption of sterilization in the group of ad-option are higher than those of the group of non-adoption. 2. Influence of demographic variables on health belief variables was as follows. With advancing ages, degree of susceptibility increased in the group of adoption, and the higher the number of artificial abortion increased, the higher degree of barrier increased in the group of non-adoption. Suggestions for further studies and application to the nursing practice are as follows 1. If one wants to educate the non-adoption women, one would be better to give such information as to increase the perception of susceptibility, severity and benefit. 2. New instrument to measure the perceived barrier which includes such items as fear on well-ness of the existing children, objection of husband and postoperative complication, is needed. 3. A study to find the change of perception on health belief variables is needed, after education to increase the level of perceived susceptibility and severity on the future pregnancy, and benefit on sterilization is given.

2015년 기업생멸 행정통계에 따르면, 우리나라의 최근 5년 동안('2010~2014년) 연평균 창업은 77만개, 폐업은 69만개인 것으로 나타났다. 지난 2015년 한해에만 개인사업자로 106만8313명이 창업을 하고 73만9420명이 폐업을 했다. 이는 하루 평균 3000명이 창업을 하고 2000명이 문을 닫는 셈이다. 실패를 경험한 기업인들은 여러 가지 심리적, 경제적 어려움에 직면하게 된다고 연구 보고되고 있다. 이같은 결과는 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들에 대한 케어의 필요성을 보여준다. 지난 2010년부터 정부가 실패기업인들에 대한 재기지원사업에 나서고는 있으나 재창업지원제도의 효과성에 대해서는 보장하기 어려운 상태다. 일각에서는 재창업지원이 양적인면에서는 활성화됐으나 질적으로는 아직 미흡하다고 지적이 나오고 있다. 이같은 상황에 착안하여 본 연구는 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들이 겪게되는 심리적 특성과 재기를 하고자 할 때 방해요소로 작용하는 감정요인에 초점을 맞추고자 한다. 따라서 선행연구를 통해 사업실패를 경험한 기업인들의 감정메카니즘을 규명한 모델(건강신념 모델:Health Belief Model)을 적용한 창업실패관련 개인평가와 사업실패경험(재무적 손실, 비재무적 손실)이 재창업의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 규명하고자 한다. 감정요인인 창업실패관련 개인평가는 지각된 심각성, 지각된 취약성, 지각된 장애로 구성했다. 또 창업실패관련 개인평가와 재창업의도 사이, 사업실패경험과 재창업의도 사이에 재창업지원정책, 창업자기효능감이 각각 조절작용을 하는지 유의미한 관계성을 알아보고자한다. 연구 대상은 정부 재창업지원 프로그램을 진행하고 있는 중소기업진흥공단, 서울산업진흥원, 재도전지원센터등 기관의 재창업지원을 받은 기업인을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 이들이 재창업지원서비스를 받기 전과 후에 대한 측정을 통해 실증분석을 하려고 한다.이 연구가 설정한 가설이 맞을 경우, 시사점으로는 정부의 재창업지원 프로그램의 효과성에 대한 검증이 될 것이다. 또 창업실패관련 감정메카니즘 규명으로 사업실패 기업인들의 재기를 도울 수 있는 재창업지원정책의 고도화가 가능해 질 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aims to discover the degree of department of dental technology students' oral health recognition and to find out the differences of oral health beliefs depending on oral health behaviors. Method: The subjects in this study were the students who attended department of dental technology in Daejon, Daegu, Iksan. After a survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0. An analysis of frequency, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation was used. Result: Among the general things related to oral health behaviors was the statistical significant differences(p<0.05) in the area of oral health belief depending on the opportunity of oral health education, attendance of oral health course, self-aware of oral health, the number of times of teeth brushing, teeth brushing status, experience and the degree of smoking. There was a positive correlation between the degree of susceptibility and that of response to severity, barrier, salience and benefit. Severity also showed the positive correlation with barrier. Higher barrier susceptibility meant higher salience and higher benefit. So was the correlation between benefit and salience. Conclusion: This study showed that college education should focus on the students' possible behaviors in order to convey the effective oral health knowledge.

Purpose : This study attempts to assist stroke patients lead independent daily life movements by providing basic data for stroke patients' successful rehabilitation program and understanding the relationship between health beliefs of stroke patients and their guardians, and patients' rehabilitation performance level and daily life movement fulfillment ability. Methods : 23 stroke patients receiving treatments at rehabilitation specializing hospital after getting diagnosed with a stroke, along with 23 guardians were selected as research subjects, and health belief was measured by modifying supplementing Byun Young-Hee(2002)'s health belief measurement tool for leg movement disorder patients. Research findings revealed the following relationship between health beliefs of stroke patients and their guardians, and patients' rehabilitation performance and daily life movement fulfillment ability. Results : The patients group's initial MBI score was $33.13{\pm}3.46$, and measurement after four weeks was $38.43{\pm}3.47$. As health beliefs got stronger, MBI score increased significantly(p<.05). Correlation analyses of factors that affect rehabilitation attendance rate showed that perceived susceptibility, seriousness and usefulness were statistically significant, and perceived disability was not statistically significant(p<.05). Guardians' health belief index(susceptibility, seriousness, usefulness, disability) had no correlation with rehabilitation attendance rate. Conclusion : In order to increase daily life movement fulfillment ability of patients who are being treated with stroke, health beliefs must be raised to increase changes in daily life movement fulfillment ability. Therefore, it is believed that managing programs that can increase health beliefs of stroke patients can allow patients obtain positive health beliefs, further increase rehabilitation performance rate of stroke patients as well as independent daily life ability.

Objectives: While many studies have been conducted on whether smoking scenes in films actually affect audience members' smoking, a comprehensive conclusion has yet to be derived. This study systematically reviewed the effect of smoking scenes in films on audience members' attitudes, beliefs, and actions. Methods: We analyzed a total of 146 studies searched on PubMed and PsycINFO (41 qualitative studies, 72 cross-sectional studies, 20 longitudinal studies, and 13 experimental studies). Results: Whereas qualitative studies have only demonstrated that audience members tend to perceive smoking scenes in films not as negative information but as positive information, cross-sectional studies have reported a significant association between smoking scenes and smoking behavior notwithstanding the problems of classifying the groups studied and measuring the degree of exposure. Through follow-up observations, longitudinal studies have reported that such media exposure can serve as a predictor of future smoking. Finally, with exposure and confounding variables under control, experimental studies have confirmed that smoking scenes in films indeed affect audience members' attitudes, beliefs, and actions regarding smoking. Conclusions: Scenes of actors and actresses smoking can be imitated or learned through audience members' immersion and identification and reproduce positive images that may render smoking socially acceptable.

The purpose of this study is conceptual analysis study on the thwarted belongingness, and was based on the conceptual analysis method of Walker & Avant to make clear concept. Thwarted belongingness can be defined by the following attributes: distorted beliefs, insufficient need to belong, a sense of alienation, and insufficient interaction and affection needs. The prerequisites for thwarted belongingness were social isolation, experiences of exclusion or conflict in interpersonal relationships, perfectionist tendencies, and sensitivity to rejection. The consequences occurring as a result of thwarted belongingness were suicidal ideation, decreased happiness and life satisfaction, negative emotions such as anxiety about rejection, depression, shame, loneliness, stress or anger, aggression, hostility and self-criticism, despair, suppression of emotional expression, lethargy, self-exclusion from relationships, and identity confusion. This study is valuable to identify the extent of preventable nursing interventions related to individual mental health and suicidal ideation related to interpersonal relationships, and suggests future tool development and field studies of thwarted belongingness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and health beliefs about gestational diabetes and to identify the influence on breastfeeding intention of women those who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 270 women who were pregnant and currently diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Data collection was conducted at Internet cafes and breastfeeding clinics where pregnant women were able to participate actively. The data collection period was from November 5 to November 27, 2019 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression. Results: The average age of the participants was 34.21±3.73 years. There were 221 women who had breastfeeding intention, and 49 women who did not intend to breastfeed. The higher the perceived susceptibility (OR=2.49, p=.032), benefits (OR=2.62 p=.009), and the self-efficacy, the higher the intention to perform breastfeeding (OR=2.97, p=.004). On the other hand, the higher the perceived severity, the lower the intention to perform breastfeeding (OR=0.35, p=.007). Conclusion: Health beliefs such as perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, self-efficacy and perceived severity have been shown to affect the breastfeeding intention. Based on these results, we suggest developing a breastfeeding promotion intervention program that improves self-efficacy in gestational diabetics.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive research is to identify how stress from Covid-19, health beliefs, and social support of college students affect health prevention. Methods: The subjects of the study were 128 university students, excluding health major students, at one university in D City. The survey was conducted from August 1 to 31, 2020. The survey questionnaire consists of 8 items on stress from COVID-19, 12 items adapted from a health belief measurement tool, 12 items from a social support measurement tool, and 11 items adapted from a tool that measures health preventive behaviors. The collected data were analyzed using the hierarchical multiple regression analysis method with SPSS 26.0. Results: In model 1, stress from COVID-19 was statistically significant (β=-.403, p=.003). Model 2 added four health belief factors into Model 1. Stress (β=-.419, p<.001), perceived severity (β=-.193, p=.030), and perceived barriers (β=-.182, p=.009) were statistically significant. In model 3, stress (β=-.413, p<.001), perceived barriers (β=-.147, p=.034), and social support (β=.194, p=.011) were statistically significant. The regression equation was significant (F=15.395, p=<.001) and the model's explanatory power was 53.1%. Conclusion: The results show that when college students had a high degree of health beliefs about COVID-19, the degree of health preventive behaviors was proportionally high. To make them practice preventive health behaviors, it is necessary to develop infection control education programs to improve health beliefs.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on the breast self-examination performance among nursing students. The data collection period was from April 12 to April 26, 2021. Data was gathered from 240 nursing students by using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and a stepwise regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. As the result of this study, the factors influencing breast self-examination perfomance were found to be breast self-examination and dietary habits with the explanatory power of these variables being 14.2%(F=19.53, 𝜌<.001). Based on this study, further study may be needed to evaluate the dietary habits of nursing students so that they can practice proper eating behavior. In addition, to maximize the educational effect, there may need to be a development of programs aimed to prevent breast cancer among nursing students.
