The purposes of the study are to segment the American family restaurant market based on relational benefits and to compare each group's demographics, dining characteristics, relationship quality(consumer identification, switching costs, satisfaction, commitment), and relational outcomes(positive word-of-mouth intentions and share of purchases). 510 responses were collected from American family restaurant customers and analyzed using frequency analysis, EFA, reliability test, cluster analysis, MANOVA, discriminant analysis, chi-square test, and ANOVA. The results of the study found three different types of relational benefits: confidence, special treatment, and social benefits. The results of cluster analysis identified three market segments, namely, high relational benefits consumers, medium relational benefits consumers, and low relational benefits consumers. The three groups were different in terms of age(p<0.05) and level of education(p<0.05). In addition, high relational benefits consumers showed a higher level of relationship frequency(p<0.001), relationship quality(p<0.001), and relational outcomes(p<0.001), followed by medium and low relational benefits consumers. Overall, the results indicated that family restaurants need to deliver excellent relational benefits to customers in order to achieve desired relationship quality and relational outcomes. Managerial implications were provided.

The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between metacogintion, problem solving process, and debriefing experience in S-PBL. Study participants were 102 nursing students who took the integrated S-PBL class in their last semester. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire and analyzed into descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The highest subscale of debriefing experience was 'appropriate facilitator guidance' 3.78 (out of 5). Problem solving process and metacognition were positively correlated (r=0.704, p<.001). Metacognition was positively correlated with debriefing experience(r=0.197, p<.05), especially area of 'learning and making connections'(r=0.235, p<.05) whereas, there was no significant correlation between problem solving process and debriefing experience. Multiple regression (enter method) showed that gender and metacognition explained 51.2% of problem solving process. This study offers a rationale on simulation debriefing and further studies are needed to support effects of experiences of debriefing and factors on problem solving process and debriefing in nursing simulation.

The purpose of this study is to explore practical intervention strategies by identifying the relationships among digital informatization capacity, level of digital informatization accessability and life satisfaction of disabled people and to determine differences among these relationships depending on perceived level of social support networks. The participants were 1,639 disabled people from the 2017 digital information gap survey and the results, based on structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis, are as follows. First, digital informatization capacity has a positive influence on the level of digital informatization accessability(β=.65), and life satisfaction(β=.08). The level of digital informatization accessability also has positive influence on life satisfaction(β=.44). Second, the analysis result of the mediated effects of digital informatization accessability level between digital informatization capacity and life satisfaction was significant at a level (β=.29) even greater than the direct effect of digital informatization capacity on life satisfaction. Third, digital information capacity and digital informatization accessability have an influence on life satisfaction regardless of their perceived level of social support. The findings suggest that creating online environments where disabled people can enjoy leisure, culture, and social interaction with high accessibility and utility are as important as providing education for improving their digital informatization capacity.

This study was conducted to compare the unmet needs and quality of life of permanent and temporary ostomates. The research subjects were 128 ostomates with colorectal cancer or other advanced cancers. Data were collected by self-reported completion of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment Tool in Cancer (CNAT) and the City of Hope Quality of Life (COH-QOL) Ostomy Questionnaire from February 1 to April 5, 2018. Collected data were analyzed by chi-squared and independent t-tests using IBM SPSS 21.0. The results showed that the unmet need for temporary ostomates was significantly higher than that of permanent ostomates (t=-2.284, P=0.024). Moreover, temporary ostomates showed a higher unmet need for information and education (t=-2.747, p=0.007), psychological problems (t=-2.578, p=0.011), and physicians (t=-2.599, p=0.010). Although quality of life of temporary ostomates seems lower than that of permanent ostomates, there was no significant difference between groups (t=-1.364, P=0.0175). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a self-management program to provide appropriate information and psychological support for temporary ostomates.

This study was conducted to describe the attitude toward pressure ulcer prevention, knowledge and non-compliance risk for pressure ulcer prevention practice and degrees of nursing performance, as well as to examine the relationship among these variables. To accomplish this, we invited 397 nurses from four hospitals to complete surveys of attitude toward pressure ulcer prevention, knowledge and certainty for pressure ulcer prevention practice, and degrees of nursing performance. Non-compliance risk for pressure ulcer prevention practice was derived from the difference between knowledge and certainty for pressure ulcer prevention. The data were collected from March to June 2017 and analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and partial Pearson's correlation coefficient testing. The correct answer rate regarding the knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention practice was 79%, and the degree of pressure ulcer prevention nursing performance was $2.46{\pm}0.31$. The highest item of the non-compliance risk for pressure ulcer prevention practice was incontinence diapers prevent incontinence-associated dermatitis. There were significant negative correlations between non-compliance risk for pressure ulcer prevention practice and knowledge (r=-0.25, p<0.001), and degree of pressure ulcer prevention nursing performance (r=-0.13, p=0.009). Continuous education and furnishing practical guidelines for pressure ulcer prevention should be implemented to improve knowledge and certainty of pressure ulcer prevention practice.
