The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between social support, self-esteem, self-concealment, and depression among college students. The mediating effects of self-concealment and gender differences in the associations were also examined. This study investigated these relationships and the gender differences using structural equation modeling multi-group analysis. The data collected from 307 college students in Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas were analyzed. The results indicated that both social support and self-esteem had effects on depression indirectly through self-concealment, and self-esteem also had direct effects on depression. The indirect effects of self-concealment were statistically significant. There were no gender differences in these relationships. These results suggest that self-concealment should be focused to prevent or alleviate depression among college students.

In this paper, we propose the moderating effects of self-efficacy and social support on the relationship between physical therapists' job stress and psychological burnout. Based on the previous studies, this study set up three types of variables: 1) independent variable, 2) moderating variable, 3) dependent variable. Job stress was identified as an independent variable, self-efficacy and social support was identified as a moderating variable and psychological burnout was identified as a dependent variable. To empirically conduct this study, a total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to physical therapists. Consequently, a total of 155 survey responses were collected. The survey results are as follows. First, the result showed a high-level of correlation among job stress, psychological burnout, self-efficacy, and social support. Second, self-efficacy was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the physical therapists' job stress and psychological burnout. Third, social support was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between the art therapists' job stress and psychological burnout.

At this point, studies have stressed employees' psychological factors for maximizing their job performance and minimizing their turnover intention and burnout. This study, therefore, empirically examines the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between emotional labor, burnout, and turnover intention of medical institutions, focusing on nurse practitioners to contribute to hospital management for developing valuable strategies in the human resource sector of medical employees. The empirical results demonstrate: 1) the relationship between emotional labor and burnout of nurse practitioners is mediated by social support; and 2) the relationship between emotional labor and turnover intention of them is mediated by social support. This research results show that more understanding of nurse practitioners' psychological factors in response to decrease their burnout and turnover intention for developing human resource management of nurse organizations. Furthermore, the study could suggest efficient management ways of hospital through interdisciplinary human resource management in terms of business administration and psychology.

This study was conducted to analyze the model of suicide ideation in the elderly living alone. This study is a descriptive research study of 300 elderly living alone in C-region. It is a frequency analysis, correlation analysis, simple rare analysis. AMOS statistics were performed. Data collection was from October 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. The results of this study are as follows. Family support has a direct effect on suicidal ideation(need for suicide ${\beta}=-.362$, p=.000, negative attitudes toward life ${\beta}=-.259$, p=.001). The results of this study suggest that strengthening the family support and social activities of the elderly living alone reduces the suicidal ideation and builds the social safety net, which leads to the emotional stability and the related policy establishment.

This was a descriptive study to investigate the effect of social support and health literacy on sick role behaviors in hemodialysis patients. A total of 149 outpatients receiving regular hemodialysis at four dialysis centers located in J city were surveyed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Factors including social support (β=.37, p<.001), health literacy (β=.16, p=.035), and religion (others) (β=-.25, p=.001) had an effect on sick role behavior. The explanatory power of model in this study was 22.0%. Therefore, the improvement of sick role behavior in patients undergoing hemodialysis requires specific strategies and interventions that are effective in increasing the social support and health literacy.
