Purpose: We conducted a descriptive correlational study to determine a relationship between nurses' awareness of good death and attitudes toward terminal care, which in turn could be used as basic data for improvement of the quality of terminal care at geriatric hospitals. Methods: From April 3, 2013 through April 22, 2013, data were collected from 230 nurses working at geriatric hospitals. Results: Nurses' attitudes toward terminal care showed no significant correlation with awareness of good death, but it was positively correlated with a sense of closeness, a subfactor of awareness of good death. There was negative correlation between emotions regarding a deathbed, a subfactor of attitudes of nurses in charge of terminal patients, and awareness of good death. We found positive correlation between terminal care performance and awareness of good death. Conclusion: This study warrants the need for nursing education catered to characteristics of geriatric hospitals and development of diverse intervention strategies to help them to attain a positive attitude toward death by familiarizing themselves with the concept of good death and enhancing job satisfaction.

This study investigated the factors that influence the attitude, trust, and acceptance toward the North Korean residents by South Koreans. Three hundred and ninety-two South Koreans, including 222 with no contact experience with North Korean residents and 170 with contact experience, answered a questionnaire. The experience group included police officers who provide protection and settlement service, labor counsellors, social workers, church people, college classmates and tutors, and teachers in alternative schools for North Korean youths. The results indicated that protecting police officers have highly negative attitudes in both cognitive and affective dimensions and also show low trust and acceptance. Teachers in alternative schools, on the other hand, were found to have both positive and negative cognitive evaluations of North Korean residents, but still maintained positive affect and high trust and acceptance. People with no contact experience had negative affect along with pity, and showed medium level trust and acceptance. The distinctive difference between the police officers and teachers were attributed to the individual characteristics such as authoritarian personality and uncertainty avoidance rather than to the frequency or depth of contact. The most important determinant of trust and acceptance were found to be the affective component. The implications of these findings on the selection and training of interface personnel and peace education were discussed.

Objectives : We investigated the characteristics of perceived stress response and relationship between some variables of gastrointestinal symptoms(esp., dyspepsia) and subscales of perceived stress response inventory(PSRI) in patients with upper gastointestinal disorder when they perceived stress. Methods : 84 patients with upper gastrointestinal disorder(gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer etc.) and 94 normal controls completed the PSRI developed by Korean psychiatrists. The patient group performed the questionnaire including some variables of gastrointestinal symptoms. Results : Internal consistency was statistically significant in all subscales of PSRI. The patient group was significantly higher at total score of PSRI, general somatic symptom subscale score, specific somatic symptom score than control group. As the result of stepwise regression analysis for relationship between some variables of gastrointestinal symptoms ans subscales of PSRI, specific somatic symptom subsclae closely related with illness duration, past illness history and severity of symptom, and the lowered cognitive function & general negative thinking subscale related with the existence of emotional distress. Conclusion : Patients with upper gastrointestinal disorder showed stronger perceived stress response than control group and they experiences somatic symptoms related to autonomic nervous system and/or gastrointestinal symtoms rather than emotional, cognitive, behavioral symtoms when they perceived stress. They also responded to stress as they expeirenced specific somatic symtom when they had long illness duration, past illness history, and high severity of symptom and the existence of emotional distress could develop lowered congnitive function and general negative thinking.

This study was attempted to understand the phenomenon in depth by exploring the food craving of hemodialysis patients experienced during hemodialysis. Participants selected seven adult patients diagnosed with end-stage renal failure and receiving hemodialysis treatment from medical institutions. he collected data were analyzed using a phenomenological analysis method. As a result of the analysis the food craving of hemodialysis patients was derived into two categories included craving experience in the cognitive domain craving experience in the emotional domain and five themes: 'Looking for foods that are water and watery as a result of thirst','Food thoughts come to mind all day as a result of a limited diet', 'Always hungry', 'Faced with appetizing situations every hour', 'experiencing negative emotions due to failure to control meals'. The results of this study which sheds light on food craving from the perspective of hemodialysis patients should improve the understanding of hemodialysis patients appetite control water restrictions and dietary compliance and allow them to understand the food craving attributes of hemodialysis patients and provide customized education optimized for that extent when applying dietary education and nursing interventions suitable for them.

지금까지는 창업자 개인의 특성이나 경험을 바탕으로, 창업기회 포착과 성과를 다룬 다수의 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 최근 학자들은 Entrepreneurship이 개인보다는 팀이 수행하는 업무이며, Entrepreneurial Team의 역동성이 Entrepreneurship 연구에 새로운 통찰력을 추가한다는 점을 재차 강조하고 있다. 따라서 새로운 팀을 구성하는 데 있어 팀의 다양성 수준을 어느 정도로 하는 것이 적절한지, 어떻게 팀을 조화롭게 구성할 것인지에 대한 것이 중요한 의사결정 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 벤처창업팀의 인적구성 다양성이 성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 팀 구성원들 각자가 가진 속성의 차이에 따라 팀 다양성의 영향력이 다르게 나타날 수 있으며 이는 곧 성과에 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 또한 다양성에 관한 국내 연구들은 다양성과 성과에 대한 직접 효과에 대한 분석 중심으로, 조절효과에 대한 다양한 분석은 관련 연구가 부족한 편이다. 본 연구의 목적은 팀 다양성과 성과 간의 관계를 과업 상호의존성과 환경 불확실성의 조절효과를 통해 분석함으로써 기존 연구와 차별점을 갖는 것이다. 조직 내 다양성의 혼재된 영향력을 명확히 이해하기 위해 인적자본 및 사회적 자본 이론을 통해 살펴보고, 이를 통해 벤처기업의 인력구성 및 관리적 측면에서 다양성이 어떠한 상황에서 성과를 극대화 시킬 수 있는지에 대한 전략적 시사점을 찾고자 한다.

This study is focused on the relationship between children's attitude and their behavior and intention of behavior to increase their positive behavior towards elders so that can be solutions to reduce social isolation of elders. This study explains relationships between ways children recognize seniors, their attitudes and their intention of behavior; how they affect one another. Figuring it out would help to learn ways how to resolve psychological problems which elders suffer. Regression analysis were also done to figure out whether chosen factors are appropriate and to verify the hypotheses or assumptions. To learn differences between two groups t-test was applied. This proved that children's perceived value on elders who they experienced directly or indirectly has positive effect on their emotional attitude, and this emotional attitude affects their cognitive behavior positively which affects their behaving attitude in a positive way. Lastly, behaving attitude has positive effect on children's intention of behavior.
