The purpose of this study was to identify the convergence influencing factors on nursing students' awareness of caregiving for the elderly. The participants were 130 nursing students from S University located in W city. Data were collected from July 1 to December 31, 2021, and the collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 statistical program. As a result of the study, there were statistically significant differences in dementia awareness according to general characteristics in gender, dementia related practice and education experience, and elderly related educational experience, empathy in elderly related practice experience, and the awareness of caregiving for the elderly in dementia interest (Yes). The awareness of caregiving for the elderly showed a positive correlation with empathy (r=.380, p<.01), and the factor effecting the awareness of caregiving for the elderly was dementia interest (yes) (𝛽=.283, p<.001) and empathy (𝛽=.354, p<.001), the explanatory power was 21.8%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and provide a nursing curriculum or program that can improve empathy ability in order to cultivate nursing students' the awareness of caregiving for the elderly.

This study investigated the differences in how medical institutions are chosen according to the motivation of medical service utilization(minor disease, major disease, chronic disease management, cosmetic). Importance order of selection for the minor disease were medical skill, kindness, rapidness, proximity, importance order of selection for major disease and cosmetic were medical skill, facilities, reputation, medical fee, importance order of selection for chronic disease management were medical skill, facilities, kindness, medical fee. From this medical study skill was a more important factor in medical institutions irrespective of motivation, subjects with the major disease tend to consider the selection of the medical institutions more important, except proximity. Medical users select medical institutions according to the motivation of visiting, and there were differences in same motivation according to socioeconomic status and information searching behavior.

This study is executed to investigate convergent factors to job burnout(MBI-GS: Maslach Bunout Inventory-General Survey) among hospital administrative staff. The survey was administered to 201 staff from 9 general hospitals located in J area from Jul. 3rd, 2017 to Jul. 29th, 2017. The structured self-administered questionaries were used. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis shows the following results. The MBI-GS of respondents turned out to be significantly higher in following groups: a group in which Organizational Commitment Questionnaire(OCQ) is lower, a group in which Type A Behavior Pattern(TABP) is higher, a group in which depression(CES-D: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale) are higher. The results show explanatory power of 52.1%. The results of the study indicate that the efforts, to increase OCQ, and to decrease TABP and CES-D, are required to improve the MBI-GS among hospital administrative staff. The results are expected to be useful for the program and human resource management to related to the MBI-GS among HAS. In the following study, the analysis of structural equation modeling about additional factors of the MBI-GS among hospital administrative staff will be needed.

This study is aimed at figuring out the stress of workers in the field of railroad electricity and vehicles and its convergence factors. The workers were divided into the workers in the headquarters and in the field. A self-administered survey was conducted from February 9 to March 6 in 2015. 628 respondents' reply was analyzed by PASW Statistics Ver. 18.0. As the result, 94.7% of them belonged to the over weight group and frequently drank alcohol. The stress score was higher in the workers in the headquarters(3.00/5.00) than those in the field(2.85). For the workers in the headquarters, those who smoke everyday showed higher stress level than that of those who have never smoked while stress level decreased in those who are satisfied with their company life. For the workers in the field, stress increased in the higher age group than those in their the twenties and those who skip their breakfast. The more positive their subjective awareness toward their body shape and the more satisfied they were with their company life, the more their stress level decreased. Therefore, the study suggests that we have to focus on those who are vulnerable to stress using the factors.

We study convergent influence on depression and its association with self-esteem, fatigue and psychosocial stress among General Hospital Administrative Staff(GHAS). The subjects were 201 randomly extracted GHAS from 9 general hospitals in J City, Data collection was carried out via a structured self-administered questionaries from Jul. 3rd, 2017 to Jul. 29th, 2017. Depression was positively correlated with three sub-domains of fatigue and psychosocial stress, and it was negatively correlated with self-esteem. With the analysis of covariance structure, depression was more influential on self-esteem than fatigue and psychosocial stress. The study found the higher fatigue and psychosocial stress, and the lower self-esteem tend to increase depression. The results indicate that the efforts, to increase self-esteem, and to decrease fatigue and psychosocial stress, are required to decrease the depression of GHAS. The results are expected to be useful for industrial health education and job management to decrease the depression of GHAS. In the following study, the analysis about convergent additional factors of influence on the depression of GHAS will be needed.
