Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of personality types on recovery resilience and college life adjustment among dental technology students. Methods: The study recruited 165 students in colleges in some areas using convenience sampling. Data were processed through reliability analysis, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis. Moreover, linear regression analysis was performed to confirm the influence. Results: The results confirmed that the motivation for selecting a department exerted an effect on adaptation to college life and satisfaction with majors (p<0.05). Additionally, the finding indicated that personality type partially influenced resilience and adaptation to college life among dental technology students (p<0.05). Finally, the results of regression analysis on adaptation to college life found that resilience and satisfaction with majors were significant predictors of adaptation to college life (p<0.05). Conclusion: To improve adaptation to college life, increasing resilience and satisfaction with majors is necessary.

The purpose of this study is to examines the factors influencing college students' adaptation to College life adaptation, and to investigate the relationship between relationship between variables and College life adaptation. Structured questionnaire was given on 210 freshman, and data was analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0. There was a significant correlation between College life adaptation and Department satisfaction (r = .216, p <.001) and Ego identity (r = 395, p <.001). As a result of the statistical significance of the model predicted to College life adaptation, the F statistic value is 12.222 and the significance probability is .000. Variables have significant explanations for college adjustment at a significance level of 0.1. College life adaptation is also explained by 44% variable. If we develop the adaptation program for college life considering variables, it is expected that it will have a positive effect on the improvement of adaptation ability of college students.

This study was conducted to identify the impact on department adaptation of field practice adaptation, college adaptation, and awareness of death of nursing students, as well as to establish basic data for adaptation of the major, adaptation to field practice, and measures to raise awareness of death. The subjects of this study were 252 Junior and Senior nursing students living in C, J city. Data were collected after approval from the IRB of C University on April 30, 2018 and analyzed by the mean values, percentages, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression using IBM SPSS 21.0. The subjects' field practice adaptation was 3.58, college adaptation was 3.33, awareness of death was 3.15 and department adaptation was 3.38. There were significant correlations between department adaptation and field practice adaptation (r=0.56, p<0.001), negative of death (r=-0.15, p=0.016), respect for life (r=0.33, p<0.001) of nursing students, field practice adaptation and college adaptation (r=0.48, p<0.001) and respect for life (r=0.16, p=0.009) of nursing students and between college adaptation and respect for life (r=0.32, p<0.001) of nursing students. The factors that have effect on the department adaptation of the subjects; As a factor influencing the department adaptation, department adaptation, field practice adaptation, and respect for life were explained by 67.5% (F=171.67, p<0.001). Therefore, a positive attitude toward death and a curriculum related to change in perception must be provided to undergraduates to change the attitude toward death. It is also suggested that research regarding nursing department adaptation effects be conducted after implementing the program to improve respect for life.

Objectives: Reportedly, the main influential factors on students' adaptation to their college life were social support, stress, adaptation resilience, self-esteem, and satisfaction with their major. This study tried to find the actual influence of these factors on dental hygiene students, and to find an intervention plan for improving their adaptation to college life and preventing their dropout. Methods: An online questionnaire survey had been conducted with 270 dental hygiene students from June 21 to July 2, 2021. The collected data were analyzed with the use of SPSS Program Version 22.0. Results: Firstly, students living together with their family, those satisfied with their major, and those doing a club activity related to their major scored high points in terms of the adaptation to college life. In addition, the adaptation points were high in those whose school entrance motivation was arbitrary, and in those who entered in the dental hygiene department in consideration of their aptitude. Secondly, college life stress was high in those whose entrance motivation was in other persons' will, those who entered in the department due to their school record and occupation, rather than aptitude, those who were also doing a part-time job, and those whose economic level was low. Thirdly, adaptation resilience, social support, and self-esteem were high in those who were highly satisfied with their major, those who entered in the department in consideration of aptitude, and those whose economic level was high. Fourthly, the biggest influential factor on their adaptation to college life was college life stress, followed by self-esteem, satisfaction with major, and adaptation resilience in order. Conclusion: Given all the results, it is necessary to analyze dental hygiene students' levels of stress, self-esteem, social support, and adaptation resilience from the beginning of their entrance, and to operate a school life adaptation program in line with school years. If any customized support and training are given to these students to deal with a variety of stress situations resiliently and wisely and achieve their jobs successfully, it is expected to improve their self-esteem and adaptation resilience, and thereby increase their adaptation to college life.
