We aimed to identify personal-interpersonal-social factors influencing Person-Centered Care Competence (PCCC) of senior grade nursing students based on King's dynamic interaction system model. The data were collected using online based questionnaires that contained items on ethical sensitivity, peer group care interaction, interpersonal competence, social support and PCCC. The participants were 242 4th grade nursing students who had undergone clinical practicum. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression analysis with the SPSS 26.0. In the multiple regression analysis, interpersonal competence(β=0.42, p<.001) and social support(β=0.29, p<.001) were statistically significant factors that explained 44.1% of PCCC(F=23.77, p<.001). This study is significant in that we identified the factors affecting the Person-centered Care competence based on King's conceptual framework. This study could provide basic data for the development of an intervention program to improve PCCC of senior nursing students.

The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effects of positive thinking in the relationship between emotional expressivity and public speaking anxiety. Participants were recruited from one university freshmen located in Gwangju city. Data were collected from 146 university freshmen. The self-reported questionnaire was used to assess the level of positive thinking, emotional expressivity, public speaking anxiety. The SPSS WIN 23.0 version program was used with Baron and Kenny's 3-Step mediating effect and Sobel test. It was examined whether there was a mediating effect of positive thinking on emotional expression and presentation anxiety. In the second stage, emotional expressivity showed a significant effect on presentation anxiety. In stage 3, emotional expressivity was not statistically significant in presentation anxiety, and positive thinking was statistically significant in presentation anxiety. Positive thinking had a total mediating effect(z=-4.57, p<.001) in the relationship between emotional expressivity and public speaking anxiety. To reduce the public speaking anxiety among university freshmen, it is necessary to develop interventions that enhance positive thinking in addition to providing emotional expressivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of serum immunoblobulin and DHEAs when 8 weeks of combined exercise and peony intake have been held to women in their 40s and 50s. 15 participants were chosen, divided into three groups, and they had undergone combined exercise with the level of 1RM 60~70%, HRmax 60~70%, three times a week for 60 minutes each. For the proper intake, 6g of peony were warmed in a double boiler with water 107ml, and the crude liquid was ingested 100ml each by the participants, everyday before breakfast, for 8 weeks. The following conclusions were obtained through these objectives and procedures. First, the amount of immunoglobulin has increased in two groups, the 8-week combined exercise group and the group which undergone both the peony intake and the combined exercise, but did not show the significant difference(p>.05). Second, the results of DHEAs showed an increas in two groups, the 8-week combined exercise group and the group which undergone both the peony intake and the combined exercise, but did not show the significant difference(p>.05). Therefore, the consumption of peony and complex exercise in this study did not positively affect the immune function and dementia prevention.

This study was done to examine the effect of 'Zippy's friends' program based on stress coping model for early child. A nonequivalent control group was designed to conduct a pre-post test for this study. The participants for this study were 148 first grade elementary school students in G city(experimental group=72, control group=76). The experimental group received 'Zippy's friends program for 24 weeks (6 module, 24 hours). The control group did not receive any treatment. From April to December 2017 data were collected using self-report structured questionnaires, and were analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, and ANCOVA with SPSS/WIN 20.0 Program. After the treatment, significant differences were found between the experimental group and control groups in terms of stress coping ability( F=22.77, p<.001),but not in level of emotional intelligence (t=-.37, p=.715). Results of this study indicate that Zippy's program can be used in school based practice as an effective mental health intervention for early child.

The data were collected through self-report questionnaires, which were constructed to Self-efficacy, family support, social support, menopausal adaptation, resilience. Data were analyzed using frequencies, means, $X^2$_Test, pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23. Regular exercise(${\beta}=-.15$, p<.01), self-efficacy(${\beta}=.29$, p=<.001), social support(${\beta}=.29$, p=<.001), menopausal Adaptation(${\beta}=.17$, p<.01) were influencing factors and these variables showed an explanatory power of 35.3% (F=18.65, p<.001). Therefore, it is suggested that middle-aged women in menopause can plan to overcome the menopausal crisis positively through nursing interventions that include self-efficacy and social support.

Data analysis was conducted by descriptive statistics, χ² test, univariate multinominal logistic regression using SPSS 26.0 program and SPSS complex samples statistics. As a result of the study, 90.2% of the young and old e-cigarette smokers had a good subjective health condition and 9.8% had a poor subjective health condition. The factors affecting the subjective health status of e-cigarette smokers are gender(p=.006), age(p=.036), income level(p=.044) in Model I, and physical activity (p=.033) and stress (p<.001) in Model II. As a strategy to improve the subjective health status and quit smoking of e-cigarette smokers in the young and old, nursing intervention strategies are needed to increase physical activity and reduce stress.

This study is a 1:1 survey of 154 elderly 65 or older to find out the direct and indirect effects of oral dryness on their quality of life through the medium of depression. As a result, the subjective oral health of the elderly and oral dryness, depression and quality of life were correlated. In the medial effect of subjective oral health and oral dryness on the quality of life, subjective oral health is the quality of life(β=.23, p<.01), depression(β=-.24, p<.01)and the influence of subjective oral health when depression is controlled(β=.08, p>05) was not significant and was completely mediated. Oral dryness is the quality of life(β=-.24, p<.01) and depression(β=.37, p<.001) was shown to have a significant effect and the influence of oral dryness when depression is controlled(β=.00, p>.05) was not significant and was completely mediated. In order to improve the quality of life for the elderly, it is necessary to develop and apply a comprehensive arbitration program that can improve oral health and oral function, and to study the effects of consequences in the future.

The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile app for mental health self care of university student. User centered design is a research design that applies the subject's needs assessment, analysis, design, development, evaluation, modification and supplement to suit the subjects. In order to manage the mental health of university students, they consisted of four main areas of mental health problems: drinking, sleeping, depression, and stress. It is designed to enable self test content, analysis and notification of inspection results, and management plan for current status of each area. Based on this, I developed an Android based mental health self-care Application. The subject can enter his or her mental health status data to explain the normal or risk level for each result, and the subject can then select the appropriate intervention method that he or she can perform. In addition, we developed a mental health self care calendar that can display the present status of each of the four areas on a day by day basis, and the current status can be expressed in an integrated manner through animations and status bars. The purpose of this study was to develop a mental health self-care app that can be improved by continuous and improved programs.
