Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life in hemodialysis patients and compare it with those of depression or anxiety patients. Methods: Quality of life in hemodialysis patients(n=33) and depression or anxiety patients(n=34) was evaluated. we performed Korean Version of WHO Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version(WHOQOL-BREF), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), State-Trait Anxiety inventory(STAI) to both hemodialysis patients and depression or anxiety patients. Results: The WHOQOL mean scores showed no differences between hemodialysis patients and depression or anxiety patients. Among WHOQOL domains, psychological domain score of WHOQOL was significantly higher in hemodialysis patients than in depression or anxiety patients. Anxiety score of hemodialysis patients was significantly lower than that of depression or anxiety patients, while depression score showed no difference. Conclusion: These results show that psychological domain score of WHOQOL was higher and anxiety score was lower in hemodialysis patients than in depression or anxiety patients. However, there were no significant differences in total QOL and depression between hemodialysis patients and depression or anxiety patients, and the prevalences of depression and anxiety were higher in hemodialysis patients than those of general population. This suggest that hemodialysis patients need more specialized help for psychiatric problems.

This study examined the mediating effects of fear of negative evaluation(FNE), fear of positive evaluation(FPE) and disqualification of positive social outcomes(DPSO) on the relationship between public self-consciousness(PSC) and social anxiety(SA) among college students. In this study, SA was divided into social interaction anxiety(SIA) and performance anxiety(PA). Participants included 316 undergraduates who completed a survey. There were three major results. First, PSC, SIA, PA, FNE, FPE and DPSO were positively correlated with each other. Second, FNE, FPE and DPSO had significant mediating effects on the relationship between PSC and SA. Third, when FNE, FPE and DPSO mediated the relationship between PSC and SA, the effect on PA was significantly greater than the effect on SIA, and in the path mediated by FNE, the effect on SIA was greater than the effect on PA. This paper discusses the findings and implications of this study.

Emergency room nurses whom exposed to more confused environment, violence, and medical disputes feel anxiety, due to increasing of demands and needs of emergency room services. Emergency room nurse anxiety needs to intervention in order to relieve emergency room nurses from anxiety, because it is an important factor that decreases job skill and satisfaction. In this paper, we examine whether to improve the effect of music intervention on emergency room nurse anxiety through appreciation of music. We used vocal music and a SAI(State Anxiety Inventory) tool for measuring the effect of music on emergency room nurse anxiety and physiological responses. Experimental results showed that vocal music intervention reduces emergency room nurse anxiety and physiological responses.

This study examines the relationship between library anxiety and computer attitude with references to the variations in the college students' gender, grade level, academic majors, frequency of library visits, and the perception towards mobile-phones in order to explore the possible measures for minimizing library anxiety amongst the students. The study results show the computer anxiety and the computer usefulness to be the computer attitudinal factors most closely correlated with the level of library anxiety. Our proposed solution is the development of a user training course and curriculum to lower students' computer anxiety while promoting greater computer usefulness.

This study is to investigate whether or not the aroma treatment has a positive impact on the reduction of anxiety of the school children when presenting a speech. Participants were 70 school children(20 males and 15 females for the control group, and 21 male and 14 females in the experimental group). They were exposed to 4 different scents i.e., lavender barreme, lemon, orange sweet, chamomile roman that were vaporized through humidifiers. Pre and post self-report type of SAS done by the children and SBES done by teachers were done before and one and two weeks after the treatment. The result indicated that children with aroma treatment than children who had no treatment showed a significant decrease in speech anxiety and improvement in behavior during speech.

In this study, I used McAnallen Anxiety in Mathematics Teaching Survey Tool to analyze 214 South Korean elementary teachers' anxiety for teaching mathematics. From the analysis of ANOVA and Regression Model, I found that there are statistically significant differences among teachers regarding anxiety for teaching mathematics according to their academic backgrounds, certification levels and teaching experiences. On the other hand, there is no statistically significant difference according to their gender. From the findings of this study, I found that there is a possibility of reducing teachers' anxiety for teaching mathematics with teacher education programs.

This study analytically examined library anxiety that various users felt when they use public libraries, by measuring it on K-LAS. The findings show that the library anxiety is varied depending on users' age, gender, academic careers, usage purposes, frequency of use and size of libraries. It suggested the guidance and education about the use of libraries, environmental improvement based on the remodeling of libraries, wearing of nameplates written in big characters for identifying librarians and the education for users' understanding and the provision of device and equipment manuals according the levels of users' experiences, as measures for overcoming the library anxiety, enhancing usage satisfaction and activating usage.

The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation and Multiple Regression. The research findings could be summarized as the followings. First, the mean scores of aging anxiety and depression were lower than average. Second, aging anxiety was the significant predictor to explain depression. Third, income also was the significant predictors which have the effectiveness to the depression.

This study aims to discover the mediating effect of Self-Encouragement and Self-Discouragement on the Relationships between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Interaction Anxiety. A questionnaire was conducted on 319 university students and the data was analyzed with Pearson's correlation and regression. As a result, there was a positive correlation between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Interaction Anxiety. Also, Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Interaction Anxiety were positively correlated with Self-Discouragement and negatively correlated with Self-Encouragement. Next, multiple regression showed that Self-Discouragement has a perfect mediating effect and Self-Encouragement has a partial mediating effect on the Relationship between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Interaction Anxiety. These results imply that counselee with Social Interaction Anxiety can be treated effectively by promoting self-encouragement.

Objective : The present study investigated the interpretation bias and expectation and judgemental bias of performance in socially anxious children. Method : Children with high social anxiety (n=18) and low social anxiety (n=16) were recruited through self-report and peer nomination, Participants performed three tasks to assess for cognitive bias. The first task measured interpretation of ambiguous social situations. The second task measured expectations regarding performance in a three minute impromptu speech. The third task assessed for judgemental bias via comparison between post-speech self rating and observer rating. Result : Children with high social anxiety did not differ significantly from low social anxiety children on the dependent measures assessing bias in interpretation, expectation and judgement. However, a significant difference was found in the judges' rating of children's performances on the speech task, with high social anxiety children obtaining significantly lower scores compared to low social anxiety children. Conclusion : The role of cognitive biases in the development and maintenance of social anxiety in children was discussed.
