The purpose of this study is to analyze relationship between general characteristics of learners and learner-related variables such as learning flow, self-directedness and learner satisfaction, thereby find out effective online teaching methods and provide the necessary basic data for improving learning satisfaction. A total of 473 students of medical school in C region were the subjects of this study and surveyed for research in a self-reporting form. According to the study, proportion of 31 to 40 minutes (38.9%) of learning engaged time was the highest, 65.5% of the learners studied regularly, more than those who studied irregularly(34.5%), and the higher the grade, the higher the percentage of learners who studied regularly. Learning flow averaged 4.03 (±0.86), self-directedness averaged 4.49 (±0.97), and learner satisfaction averaged 4.38 (±1.01). There were significant differences in learning flow, self-directedness and learner satisfaction according to grade, learning engaged time, and learning regularity. the factors affecting learner satisfaction were grade, learning flow, and self-directedness, with 72.5% adjusted R-squared. This study is expected to be used to establish an online learning management system to improve learning satisfaction by identifying variables related to learning satisfaction in the online learning environment of medical students.

The aim of this study was to grasp the seriousness of depression problems in medical students by examining the research trends among them and to present desirable direction of the future study. A selective search has been conducted for literature published in Nurimedia (DBPIA), Korean studies Information Service System (KISS), Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), National Assembly Library (NANET) and National Digital Science Library (NDSL) databases. 18 papers have been selected for the final analysis. The results showed that studies on depression problems were published in very small proportion which researchers with diverse majors including psychiatry participated. Second, most of depression assessment tools usually measured depression only while some did various psychological symptoms. Third, independent t test was the most frequent analytic method. Last but not least, there was no research dealing with intervention about depression in medical students. To sum up, though numerous researchers with diverse specialties participated in the depression study and analyzed the data using various analyses and variables, there is a lack of intervention for depression of the medical students. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the necessity of practical intervention based on the evidence-based practice.

Introduction: Although it is well known that medical students are not getting an adequate amount of sleep, there have been only few studies on the sleep patterns of medical students in Korea. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the life style and sleep patterns of Korean medical students and the impact they have on the students' academic performance. Methods: A questionnaire package was administered to the $3^{rd}$ year medical students at the Seoul National University to examine their sleep patterns on weekdays and weekends. It consisted of questions asking about their lifestyles as well as Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and GPA (Grade Point Average) that are considered relevant to their sleep patterns. A total of 110 students (85 males and 25 females, mean age $24.4{\pm}20.6$) responded to the survey and the result was analyzed using the independent t-test, the chi-square test, the paired t-test, Pearson's rank correlation and ANOVA. P-values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant in all analyses. Results: The weekend bedtime was significantly delayed (01：24 on weekday；03：12 on weekend; t=-5.23, p<0.01), the weekend rise time was delayed (07：36 on weekday；10：30 on weekend ; t=-24.48, p<0.01) and the total sleep time was increased on weekends (5：57 on weekday；8：17 on weekend ; t=15.94, p<0.01). They wished to sleep for 7 hours 6 minutes which was different from their actual weekday total sleep time (t=-11.41, p<0.01). The poor sleeper group had lower GPAs than the good sleeper group (t=2.05, p<0.05). The GPA of medical students were negatively correlated with age (r=-0.23, p<0.05), daily amount of smoking (r=-0.78, p<0.01), total amount of smoking (r=-0.75, p<0.01), weekday sleep latency (r=-0.23, p<0.05), weekend sleep latency (r=-0.23, p<0.05) and PSQI score (r=-0.30, p<0.01). Conclusion: Medical students were experiencing a lack of sleep during weekdays as they have a later bedtime and earlier rise time, and consequently had more hours of sleep on weekends. Overall, the responded students were experiencing poor sleep quality, and the GPAs of the poor sleeper group were lower than those of the good sleeper group.

Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between the anxiety at first year and chronotype and sleep quality at third year in medical students. We also investigated the association between sleep quality, chronotype, depression and resilience at third year. Methods: Fifty two medical students (36 males, 69%, aged 21 ± 0.93) in first year, and forty four medical students (31 males, 70.5%, aged 23.05 ± 0.99) at third year answered Beck Depression Inventory 2, Beck anxiety inventory, Insomnia severity index-K, Composite scale of morningness and Conner-Davidson Resilience scale-10. Multiple linear regression analysises were performed to identify predictors of chronotype, sleep quality and resilience. Results: Higher anxiety (β = -0.434, p = 0.006) at first year was significant predictor of eveningness at third year, while lower anxiety score (β = 0.606, p < 0.001) at first year was significant predictor of sleep quality at third year. Lower sleep quality (β = -0.314, p = 0.042) and eveningness (β = 0.315, p = 0.041) were associated with low resilience at third year. Also, Lesser depression (β = -0.717, p < 0.001) was associated with higher resilience at third year. Conclusion: Our study showed that higher anxiety in first year had significantly related with eveningness and poor sleep quality at third year. In addition, higher sleep quality, morningness and less depression had significantly associated with better resilience at third year.

This study was a descriptive research study targeting medical students to determine the impact of self-directed learning ability, self-regulated learning, and communication ability on self-efficacy in performing medical treatment. This study randomly selected medical students from Region J, located in Province G, as the approximate population, and a total of 125 copies were finally analyzed. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS/25. Self-efficacy in performing medical treatment was related to self-directed learning ability (r=.61, p<.001), self-regulated learning (r=.50, p<.001), and communication ability (r=.33, p<.001). There was a positive correlation with all of them. As a result of analyzing the variables that affect the subject's self-efficacy in performing medical treatment using hierarchical multiple regression, self-directed learning ability was found to be the factor that best predicts self-efficacy in performing medical treatment, followed by self-regulated learning and communication ability. The total explanatory power was 46.6%. Acquiring specialized knowledge and becoming a doctor after graduation through clinical practice and acquiring the basic clinical practice skills necessary to successfully perform one's duties are important tasks that medical students must accomplish. Therefore, in order to improve medical students' self-efficacy in performing medical treatment, the importance of improving health care, major satisfaction, and life satisfaction must be recognized and managed. In addition, efforts to develop programs and improve systematic systems that can improve self-directed learning, self-regulated learning, and communication skills should also be supported.

This study was done to identify the perception of cancer pain among nurse and 4th grade medical school and to apply it to the development of systematic educational program. The subjects were 258 nurses and 211 4th grade medical school students. The results of the analysis using the SPSS WIN 18.0 statistical program showed statistically significant differences in the next question between the two groups ; "Cancer patients don't get addicted to painkillers the more often they use them.", "Cancer pain can occur regardless of age.", "Injections or neurotheraphy are not temporary, but effective over a long period of time when cancer patients have pain.", "Cancer patients are not easily addicted to painkillers compared to other patients." Therefore, it is necessary to establish the educational direction and related education programs for the theory and practice of systematic cancer pain in both groups.

의학교육은 학생들에 대한 교육과 평가만으로 구성되지 않는다. 학생들이 그러한 교육을 모두 잘 이수하고 졸업할 수 있도록 잘 지도해 주는 것까지를 포함한다. 의학교육에 있어 이러한 지도가 필요한 이유는 의대생들의 학습과 생활에 문제가 자주 발생하기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2005년도에 본 의과대학에서 이루어진 총104건의 상담사례를 분석하여 그 문제와 대안을 제시하였다. 나타난 문제로는 불완전한 교육과 극단적 내부경쟁, 학생들의 집단 학습적 행동, 시간 관리 및 학습방법의 문제, 불안과 우울의 문제, 열등감의 문제, 자기개발과 자기실현에서의 불안, 삶의 다양한 문제들과 가치관 형성의 어려움(이성교제, 가족관계, 학교 내 대인관계 등) 등이었다. 이에 대한 해결방안으로 다음과 같은 다섯 가지가 제안 되었다. 즉 학생들에 대한 "의대에서 공부하는 방법" 교육, 새로운 의대 학습 문화의 창출지원, 전공의 선발에 있어 다면적 평가 시스템의 도입, 상담을 담당해 주시는 교수들과 멘토(mentor)의 필요, 가치관 지향적인 의학교육의 필요이다.
