The purpose of this study has been done to identify the influencing factors on rehabilitation motive of stroke patients. A sample of 138 stroke patients in Long-term Care and rehabilitation hospitals completed questionnaires through face - to - face interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression. Rehabilitation motive of stroke pacients was correlated with empowerment (r=.467, p<.001), but not with perceived stress(r=.-.186, p=.029). In a multiple regression, empowerment (${\beta}=.432$, p<.001) and primary care-giver (${\beta}=.175$, p=.023) were associated with rehabilitation motive. These factors attributed to 24% of the total variance in rehabilitation motive. Therefore, the study finding suggests that these significant factors should be considered when developing and implementing convergent care strategies for stroke patients in order to promote their rehabilitation motive.

The purpose of study is to enhance the convergence effects of cyber lecture for university students. The results were derived through the comparison and verification of recognition levels before and after cyber lectures. The study material was a questionnaire composed of 15 questions divided into five areas; usefulness, enjoyment, academic relevance, social intention and usage intention. The recognition levels significantly improved after learning in five areas with particularly large improvements in enjoyment and academic relevance. The recognition levels significantly improved in the five areas(p<.001). With regard to changes in recognition levels by major, social science majors showed significant improvements in usage intentions after learning. Cyber lectures for university students were proved to be generally convergence effective.

This paper was conducted to verify the relationship of understanding of learning, service quality, efficiency of convergence e-business valuation. For this paper, it surveyed 179 students and the data were collected Nov. 2~30, 2015. This research analyzed all the samples through ANOVA, t-test utilized by SPSS 22.0 The results as follow. First, understanding of learning, service quality, efficiency had statistically significant difference according to gender. Second, understanding of learning, service quality, efficiency showed statistically significant difference according to grade. The results of this study reveal the fact that the general characteristics like gender and grade made difference to the understanding of learning, service quality, efficiency. Furthermore, this paper may need to include various variables of understanding of learning, service quality, efficiency and suggest research about several university.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of university convergence curriculum using CIPP model. With 758 data surveys of professors and students participating in K University's convergence education, the analysis of differences according to group characteristics and the factors affecting performance recognition and course satisfaction were analyzed. As a result of analysis, first, class activity(CA) was the highest (M=3.85), and coursework design(CD) was the lowest (M=3.35), and there were significant differences in the course objectives, course content, and class activities according to the characteristics of the group. Second, the factors affecting the performance recognition and course satisfaction of the convergence curriculum were needs analysis, coursework design, learner activity, performance recognition, and course satisfaction. In conclusion, it suggests that from the planning stage, it should be designed to reflect the needs of professors and students, and to improve satisfaction and performance recognition with novel contents and active teaching and learning activities. This study can be used as basic data for improving the quality of the convergence curriculum.

This study aims to analyze economically active females' factors influencing problematic drinking, by their jobs. It examined the socio-demographic and health-related characteristics and problematic drinking status of economically active females over 19, by using data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They were analyzed by using IBM SPSS 25.0 and the complex sampling design. The findings show that the problematic drinking rates of economically active females were varied by their jobs: 19.1% for office job; 24.8% for manufacturing job; 12.3% for service job. The factors influencing problematic drinking were also differed by jobs: subjective heath status for office job; marital status and smoking for service job; marital status for manufacturing job. They suggest that convergent drinking management programs customized to jobs should be developed by considering the characteristics of females' physical and emotional traits and their jobs, to reduce their problematic drinking rates.

The purpose of this study is to investigate patients with Lou Gehrig's disease, their families, and their actual conditions of the disease, and to find the factors to alleviate caregiving burden and the needs of service. According to the study, the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients with Lou Gehrig's disease and their patients, the disease and caregiving, and activity support service didn't influence alleviation of caregiving burden. When the main caregiver of the patient was not a spouse, or graduated from high school and less, and when the disease was diagnosed initially, there was a difference in caregiving burden. Based on the results, this study suggested that it would be necessary to make medical support suitable to Lou Gehrig's disease and come up with a convergence policy to support personalized and specialized welfare service.

This study was done to identify the significant convergence factors of affecting depression of elderly women in rural area. A total of 161 elderly women aged 65 and over were collected and data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression with SPSS/WIN 21.0. The result indicated that 42.9% of participants were depressed. In logistic regression, significant factors of depression were age(p<.001, OR=1.146), economic status (p=.004, OR=.123), number of family member living together (p=.013, OR=.020), number of social activities (p=.012, OR=.436), number of disease diagnosed (p<.001, OR=3.847), visual function (p=.023, OR=3.867), family support (p=.048, OR=.707), which accounted for 68.6% of the variance. The results of this study can contribute to develop various convergence strategies to prevent the prevalence of depression of elderly women in rural area. Further studies are needed to confirm the level of contribution of visual disability to depression in rural older women.

This study investigates convergent factors associated with occupational stress among General Hospital Administrative Staff(GHAS). The survey was administered to 221 staffs from 11 general hospitals located in J city from November 1st, 2016 to January 31st, 2017, using structured self-administered questionaries without respondents' personal information. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows the following results. The occupational stress of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: a group in which organizational justice-distributive is lower, a group in which self-esteem is lower, a group in which self-efficacy is lower. The results show explanatory power of 39.5%. The results of the study indicate that the efforts, to increase organizational justice-distributive, to increase self-esteem, to increase self- efficacy, are required to decrease the occupational stress among GHAS. These results are expected to be utilized for organizational and personnel management to reduce occupational stress in GHAS. In the following study, the research of additional factors and the analysis of structural equation model about the occupational stress among GHAS will be needed.
