This study was conducted to investigate the mediating effects of career preparation behavior on nursing professionalism related factors of nursing students. The subjects were 265 students in the first, second, third, and fourth grades of nursing schools in the Gyeongbuk area. Data were collected from May 7, 2018 to May 25, 2018 using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed by t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis based on descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) using the SPSS 22.0 program. The results of this study showed that career identity and career attitude maturity have a partial mediation effect on career preparation behavior in relation to nursing professionalism. Career attitude maturity (${\beta}=.38$), career identity (${\beta}=.17$), and career preparation behavior (${\beta}=.14$) were significant factors affecting nursing professionalism and the explanatory power of these variables was 19%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply educational methods to improve career preparation behaviors and enhance professionalism of nursing students. In addition, there is a need for follow-up research on the structural relationship between career preparation behaviors, which are concrete and practical actions related to nurse's careers, and how they affect other career-related variables.

Reflecting the recent trends and needs of gifted education, this study set out to compare and analyze mathematically gifted elementary students and common students in self-efficacy and career attitude maturity, understand the characteristics of the former, and provide assistance for career education for both the groups. The subjects include 237 mathematically gifted elementary students and 221 common students in D Metropolitan City. The research findings were as follows: First, mathematically gifted elementary students turned out to have higher self-efficacy than common students at the significance level of .01 in the three self-efficacy subfactors, namely confidence, self-regulated efficacy, and task difficulty preference. The findings indicate that mathematically gifted elementary students have much confidence in themselves and strong faith in themselves, thus forming a habit of preferring a relatively high-level task by taking self-management and task difficulty into proper consideration. Second, mathematically gifted elementary students showed higher overall career attitude maturity than common students. There was significant difference at the significance level of .01 in decisiveness and preparedness between the two groups and significant difference at the significance level of .05 in assertiveness. However, there was no statistically significant difference in purposefulness and independence between the two groups. Finally, there were positive correlations at the significance level of .01 between all the subfactors of self-efficacy and those of career attitude maturity in all the subjects except for self-regulated efficacy and purposefulness, between which there were positive correlations at the significance level of .05. The mathematically gifted elementary students showed positive correlations between more subfactors of self-efficacy and career attitude maturity than common students. Given those findings, it is necessary to take differences in self-efficacy and career attitude maturity between mathematically gifted elementary students and common students into account when organizing and running a curriculum. The findings confirm the importance of providing students with various experiences fit for them and point to a need for helping mathematically gifted elementary students maintain a high level of self-efficacy and guiding them through career education with more appropriate career attitude maturity improvement programs.

The study objectives were to investigate the attitude of Ajou University pharmacy students toward pharmaceutical care and to identify their perceived barriers to its provision. Secondarily, their career choices and influential factors for career decision were assessed. Method: A cross-sectional survey of Ajou University pharmacy students in all professional years was conducted in May 2014. Results: Over 2 weeks, a total of 123 students participated in the study (100% response rate). All respondents agreed that pharmaceutical care is the right direction for the provision to be headed and that pharmaceutical care will improve patient health. However, professional year was inversely associated with the degree of positive attitude toward pharmaceutical care. Highly perceived barriers to pharmaceutical care included poor image of pharmacist's role in society (67%) and lack of access to the patient medical record in the pharmacy (65%). Work environment, benefits, and salary were top three influential factors for career plans, and $6^{th}$ year students considered salary most important. Patient-oriented practices (hospital and community pharmacy) were the most preferred career choices among $6^{th}$ year students. Conclusion: Pharmacy clerkships appeared to have a positive influence on career choices of those students. Efforts should be exerted to improve pharmacy clerkships and to promote pharmaceutical care.

Career guidance refers to services intended to assist students to make educational and occupational choices and to manage their careers. Young students, specially enrolled in vocational high schools, need programs to help them make transitions to the working world and to re-engage with further learning, and career guidance needs to be part of such programs. Teachers assume the critical roles in planning and organizing the career guidance programs in vocational high schools. The program includes career information provision, assessment and self-assessment tools, career counseling, work search, etc. In this study, we developed a research model based upon TRA(theory of reasoned action) developed by Ajzen and Fishbein to investigate the factors influencing the intention to provide career guidance services to students in vocational high schools. Based on 155 survey responses from vocational high school teachers, we show that attitude and subjective norm motivate teachers to provide career guidance services, and that attitude toward career guidance is directly influenced by self-efficacy for career guidance and burden from extra work. It was also confirmed that facilitating condition is the antecedent of self-efficacy. But contrary to our expectation, self-efficacy for career guidance has no significant effect on the intention for providing career guidance services at 5% significance level. In light of these findings, implications for theory and practice are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the levels of career attitude maturity according to biological sex and sex-role identity types of college students majoring in foodservice. In order to achieve this purpose, 300 students majoring in foodservice-related fields from 4 colleges located in Kyonggi, Daejeon, and Daegu province were selected as a sample. A total of 266 copies of the questionnaire were analyzed after excluding 34 responses. The results of this study were as follows. First, perceived career attitude maturity level of male students was higher than that of female students(p<.05). Second, perceived career attitude maturity level of the students categorized as the androgynous type was the highest, followed by the masculine, feminine and undifferentiated types of students (p<.05). Third, the levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance of male students categorized as androgynous, masculine, and undifferentiated types were higher than those of female students. The levels of decisiveness, purposiveness, self-reliance perceived by female students classified as femininity were higher than those of male students. These results show that the androgynous type is considered to be more desirable and positive for career development. Therefore, a career counseling program in needed to enhance androgyny based on biological sex.
