Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between Health Locus of Control(HLOC) and Health Promoting Behaviors(HPB) in the nursing college students. Method: Data were collected by the structured questionnaires from 485 nursing students in Gwangju. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Simple regression. Result: The mean score for the HLOC of the nursing students was Internal: 23.858, Powerful others: 17.619, Chance: 15.076. The total mean score for HPB was 2.45(range 1-4). The highest score on the subscale was self-actualization(M=2.914), and the lowest was health responsibility(M=1.905). The score between HPB and HLOC-internal(r=.302, p=.000), HLOC-powerful others (r=.329, p=.000), HLOC-chance(r=.146, p=.001) showed a significantly positive correlation. By means of simple regression analysis, HLOC explained 14.3% of HPB. Conclusion: This study suggests that HLOC accounted for 14.3 % of HPB in the nursing college students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore factors influencing for intention to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A total of 146 students at G University participated in this descriptive study. With a self-administered questionnaire, the data were collected from November 26 to November 30, 2018. Results: In this study, intention to perform CPR had significant positive correlations with attitude of CPR (r=60, p<.001), self-efficiency of CPR (r=.53, p<.001), and confidence in automated external defibrillator (AED) utilization (r=.47, p<.001). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing for intention to perform CPR were attitude of CPR (${\beta}=.60$, p<.001) and confidence in AED utilization (${\beta}=.26$, p<.001). Overall, approximately 41% of the variability in intention to perform CPR was explained by these variables ($R^2=.41$, F=50.04, p<.001). Conclusion: In order to promote the intention to carry out CPR among nursing college students, it will be necessary to develop strategies to strengthen a positive attitude toward CPR in fundamental nursing and clinical nursing practices in addition to improve confidence in AED utilization.

Purpose: This study was done to examine effects of task performance style, communication ability and their interaction on problem-solving ability and nursing competency of nursing students participating in a nursing management practicum. Methods: The study was a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. Participants were 56 fourth year nursing students (25 in the cooperative task group and 31 in the individual task group) and data were collected from March to September 2010. Additionally, two groups were classified based on communication ability of students and four groups were classified by their task performance style and communication ability. Problem-solving ability and nursing competency were measured pre- and post-test and compared between groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS Windows 17.0 program. Results: Neither problem-solving ability and nursing competency were statistically significantly different according to task performance style. Nursing competency was statistically significantly higher in the high communication group compared to the low communication group. Problem-solving ability was significantly different among the four groups classified by task performance style and communication ability. Conclusion: Nursing educators may need to improve students' communication ability to improve nursing competency and also assign different tasks based on communication ability of nursing students to improve problem-solving ability.

This study was a cross-sectional reaserch that analyzed the factors that most affect COVID-19 knowledge in nursing college students who are relatively at high risk for recent prevalence of COVID-19 exposure in relation to clinical practice of nursing college students. A total of 249 nursing students participated in this study, 93 male students and 156 female students. The period for collecting data from structured questionnaires was from October 1 to October 20, 2021. The collected data were frequency analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, simple regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 18.0. As a result of the analysis, infection prevention behavior(𝛽=0.06, p=0.006) had the most influence on COVID-19 knowledge, and the second was professional intuition(𝛽=-.162, p=0.018). Based on the results of this study, in order to improve the knowledge of COVID-19 among nursing students, it is proposed to develop an infection prevention behavior education program and a professional intuition improvement program.
