This study was conducted to investigate the effects of internet game addiction and self-efficacy on the campus life adaptation of nursing students. The subjects were selected from 182 nursing students registered as college members and data collection was conducted from September 20 to October 3, 2019. The collected data was analyzed based on frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS /WIN 26.0 program. The internet game addiction score of nursing college students was shown to be 1.14±.30 out of four points, the self-efficacy score was shown to be 3.39±.55 out of five points and the campus life adaptation score was shown to be 3.18±.53 out of five points. There was a significant correlation between internet game addiction (r=-.220, p=.003), self-efficacy (r=.649, p<.001), and campus life adaptation. The predictors were self-efficacy (��=.588, p<.001), gender (��=.183, p=.001), and internet game addiction (��=.183, p=.001), which accounted for 45.9% of the variance in the campus life adaptation of nursing students. The results of this study delineate the need for the development and application of diverse programs that can increase self-efficacy and prevent internet game addiction in nursing students.

The major finding of this study are as follows. First, this study confirmed the causal relationship of self leadership and social support impacting on academic achievement of university students. This result suggests that an integrated approach taking into account both individual and socio environmental factors is necessary to support academic achievement of university students.

The purpose of this study is to find out the mediation effect of college adaption for the relationship between learning flow and university dropout in local university. For this study, 281 university students in Chungbuk region were applied to assess the mediation effect of college adaption for learning flow and university dropout by using confirmatory factor analysis, hierarchical multiple regression of Baron and Kenny, and Sobel test. The results show that more learning flow tended to have more difficultly in university dropout, and it was founded that academic and social adjustment for university adaption(mediator) partially mediated the influence of learning flow (independent variable) on univeristy dropout (dependent variable), institutional adjustment was fully mediated, and personal-emotional adjustment was no mediation effect. Based on the results of this study, we suggest a implication to decrease university dropout through increasing learning flow and university adaption.

This study examined the effects of critical thinking diposition, problem-solving ability, frustration tolerance on the college adaptation among nursing students Participants were asked to complete self-report surveys between October 1, 2017 and October 11, 2017. A total of 169 surveys were analyzed using SPSS 25.0(descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, & multiple regression). Nursing major satisfaction(F=12.66, p<.001) were critical factors affecting college adaptation. Critical thinking disposition(r=.22, p<.01), frustration tolerance(r=-.46, p<.001) were significant factors affecting college adaptation for nursing students. These results indicate that programs that develop critical thinking, frustration tolerance are necessary for nursing students in order to promote college adaptation.

In this study, we examined the effects of University adaptation on career adaptation through self-leadership and learning commitment, and identified the regulatory effects of demographic characteristics (sex, grade, grade level, and willingness to work). To this end, we analyzed the data for 289 college students. The results of the study are as follows. First, adaptation to University life has a significant impact on learning commitment and self-leadership. However, adaptation to University life has an indirect effect on learning commitment and self-leadership rather than directly affecting career adaptation. Second, demographic characteristics have a regulatory effect on the path through which University adaptation affects career adaptation through self-leadership and learning commitment. The factors that were regulated were age, grade, and willingness to work. Therefore, in order to adapt to university life and adapt to career, we developed a program to improve self-leadership and learning commitment, and suggested that customized guidance is needed considering the differences in personal characteristics such as gender and academic background in university life and career counseling.
