The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and structure of nurses' computer using experience. To do this, we conducted a total of three interviews with 11 nurses working between the ages of 26 and 48. Interview data were interpreted using Giori method (1985) and Lincoln & Guba method (1985). As a result, 112 semantic units were derived, and then 18 sub-components were divided into 5 final components. As a result of the analysis, the computer experience that the nurses used in the hospital consisted of 'used for almost every task', 'usefulness', 'important', 'convenience', 'burden', 'anxiety', desire', simple work level', 'no problems', 'eye, muscle and movement discomfort', 'depends on task', 'more complex', 'accuracy', 'organize contents', 'simple', 'incomparable', and 'easy'. Based on the above conclusions, the nurses' experiences of using the computer in the hospital could be concluded as follows. Currently, almost all nursing jobs in hospitals are using computers. However, most of the tasks related to simple computer tasks related to the ability to use the computer was low, and because of this, the computer did not work properly, or when new programs were introduced to feel the burden and anxiety, want more systematic computer education Found. Especially, according to the career, the difference between computer and hand work was different, Nurses over 20 years said that computers can handle simple tasks that are a bit more complicated than manual tasks, whereas emotional tasks were handicapped, in the 10 to 20 years of experience, computer work was more accurate and appropriate to organize content, Nurses under 10 years were not only easy to work with computers but also have no experience in manual work, they could not compare the computer and the hand work. This study suggests that the use of computers in nurses' work is essential and that more systematic computer-based education should be provided. In addition, due to the nature of the nursing service, the professional opinions of the nurses should be reflected in the development of programs for the emotional nursing work.

This study analyzes the content of YouTube Vlog videos created by patients of Coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") in South Korea and viewer comments on those videos. As this new infectious disease started to sweep the world in late 2019 and early 2020, the public started facing fear and uncertainty stemming from the lack of sufficient and accurate information about the virus. At the same time, as COVID-19 patients in South Korea were treated in isolation to prevent the spread of the virus, the patients themselves were experiencing anxiety and exclusion from the society. During this period, there was an increase in YouTube Vlog videos created by the patients in which they shared their experiences going through the treatment and recovery processes. To understand how these YouTube Vlog videos were being used by the patients to connect with the society and seek support in a state of isolation and anxiety, this study conducted a qualitative multi-case analysis of three sample YouTube Vlog video channels to analyze their content, as well as a lexicon-based sentiment analysis of viewer comments to understand the experiences and reactions of viewers. The patients' YouTube Vlog videos showed that they shared similar stages of progress, despite each emphasizing a different main theme. Overall, the tone of the viewer comments became increasingly positive over time, although with some variance among different patient cases and stages. The results confirmed that Vlogs of patients played a significant role in reducing the uncertainty around COVID-19 and strengthening social support for the patients. The findings of this study can improve an understanding of the psychological and behavioral aspects of patient experience in isolated treatment and the impact of shared communication among members of society in times of crisis.

Background and Objectives: For adult men with congenital heart disease (ACHD), data on erectile dysfunction (ED) is limited. We aimed to assess the frequency of ED, its role in patient-physician communication and to identify parameters predicting ED. Methods: Male ACHD ≥18 years registered at the German National Register for Congenital Heart Defects were invited to participate in an online questionnaire about sexual health. Participants with presumed ED according to International Index of Erectile Function Score were compared to patients without ED. Results: The 371 patients responded to the questionnaire (83% with moderate to highly complex ACHD). The 43% presented with more than mild ED. When ED was present, patients complained about general anxiety to be sexually active more often (p<0.05) and underwent sexual activity less frequently compared to those without ED (p<0.05). Age ≥40 years (odds ratio [OR], 3.04; p=0.002), being single (OR, 6.82; p<0.0001), anxiety to be sexually active (OR, 2.64; p=0.0002) and psychiatric disease (OR, 4.33; p<0.0007) emerged as independent predictors for ED. Overall, patients sought medical advice in 6.7% of cases, whilst 29.6% would appreciate an active approach by the physician to address this sensitive topic. Conclusions: ED is affecting one third to one half of male ACHD according to a questionnaire-based analysis. Older age, being single, fear of sexual activity due to ACHD and psychiatric disorder emerged as independent predictors for ED. These parameters can easily be assessed to identify patients at risk. ED should be addressed proactively by health professionals.

This study investigated learners' perceptions of using self-generated listening materials based on Text to Speech. After taking an online training session to learn how to make listening materials for extensive listening practice outside the classroom, the learners were engaged in practice with self-generated listening materials for 10 weeks in a self-directed way. The results show that a majority of the learners found the TTS-based listening materials helpful to reduce anxiety toward listening and enhance self-confidence and motivation, with a positive effect on improving their listening ability. The learners' general satisfaction can be attributed to some beneficial features of TTS-based listening material, including freedom to choose what they want to learn, convenient accessibility to the material, availability of various native speakers' voices, and novelty of digital tools. This suggests that TTS-based digital listening materials can be a useful educational tool to support learners' self-directed listening practice outside the classroom in EFL settings.

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing preventive behavior among foreigners residing in Korea. Drawing upon the Health Belief Model (HBM), this study seeks to gain insights into the decisionmaking processes underlying preventive behavior within this specific population. A comprehensive online survey was conducted among 364 foreigners. An analysis revealed that perceived barriers and perceived benefits played crucial roles as mediators, mediating the relationship between the examined factors and preventive behavior. The insights gained from this study have implications for public health interventions and self-preventive product businesses aiming to promote and sustain self-preventive behavior practices among foreigners residing in Korea, even after all COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted.

This paper emphasizes that information received in disaster situations can lead to disparities in the effectiveness of communication, potentially causing damage. As a result, there is a growing demand for disaster and safety information among citizens. A user-centered disaster and safety information application service is designed to address the rapid dissemination of disaster and safety-related information, bridge information gaps, and alleviate anxiety. Through the Open API (Open Application Programming Interface), we can obtain clear information about the weather, air quality, and guidelines for disaster-related actions. Using chatbots, we can provide users with information and support decision-making based on their queries and choices, utilizing cloud APIs, public data portal open APIs, and solution knowledge bases. Additionally, through Mashup techniques with the Google Maps API and Twitter API, we can extract various disaster-related information, such as the time and location of disaster occurrences, update this information in the disaster database, and share it with users.

In 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began in full-scale, the WHO Director-General warned of the dangers of an infodemic. The infodemic is a phenomenon in which false information spreads rapidly like an epidemic and causes chaos, and it was noted that the COVID-19 pandemic is not just limited to health problems, but also linked to a variety of issues such as human rights, economic inequality, various discrimination, hate speech, fake news, global governance etc. In the field of education, it is necessary to think about how to connect this global situation with school classes. Accordingly, this study suggested the direction for global citizenship education by analyzing how the infodemic spreads on Korean social media with the case of the recent global COVID-19 pandemic. According to the research results, the rate of negative emotions was higher than positive ones in the emotions that generate infodemic, while anxiety and anger were focused among negative emotions. In addition, the infodemic tended to spread widely with the feelings of anger rather than anxiety, and the feelings of anger led to advocating aggressive policies against certain country and regions. Therefore, global citizenship education is required to focus on a sense of duty and responsibility as a citizen, not on the level of national identity based on an exclusive sense of belonging. Furthermore, global citizenship education needs to lead to presenting a blueprint for education in a way that can enhance the awareness of the global community for joint response to global challenges and realize common prosperity based on sustainability and justice.

기업들이 정보공유를 통한 협업과 신속한 의사결정을 위해 기업용 SNS를 시도하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기업용 SNS 이용수준이 업무성과에 미치는 영향에 있어서 커뮤니케이션 수준의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 조직 커뮤니케이션은 경쟁우위 확보의 핵심 요소가 되기 때문에 그 선행요인을 규명하는 것이 매우 중요하기 때문이다. 다음으로 본 연구에서는 권력거리를 바탕으로 기업용 SNS 수준이 커뮤니케이션 수준에 미치는 영향에 대한 국적 조절효과를 검증하였다. 기업용 SNS를 도입하기 이전에 오프라인 조직문화를 정보기술에 적합하도록 변화시키거나 권력거리가 낮은 조직에서 기업용 SNS를 도입하는 것이 유효하다고 가정했기 때문이다. 이를 검증하기 위해 본 연구에서는 한국과 중국에서 기업용 SNS를 도입하여 운영하고 있는 기업의 구성원을 대상으로 한국 81부, 중국 81부의 설문 데이터를 회수하여 SPSS 다중회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구모형 검증결과, 기업용 SNS는 업무성과에 직·간접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 첫째, 기업용 SNS는 조직 구성원들이 정보를 신속하게 공유하고 피드백을 빠르게 주고받도록 지원함으로써 오류를 줄이거나 예방하여 업무성과 향상에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 커뮤니케이션 수준은 기업용 SNS가 업무성과에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 기업용 SNS는 면대면 커뮤니케이션을 온라인으로 수행하도록 함으로써 소통의 불안감이나 스트레스를 낮춰 커뮤니케이션을 원활하게 하고, 협조적이며 창의적인 조직 분위기를 조성하는데 기여함으로써 업무성과 향상에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기업용 SNS 이용수준의 커뮤니케이션 수준에 대한 국적 조절효과 가설은 검증결과 가설과 반대로 한국이 중국보다 더 높게 나타났다. 이것은 기업용 SNS가 오프라인의 경직된 소통의 우회통로로 사용되어 나타난 결과라 해석된다. 즉, 오프라인 환경에서 높은 권력거리로 인해 상하 간 커뮤니케이션이 경직되고 폐쇄적으로 흐르는 것이 비대면 기업용 SNS를 이용함으로써 대면소통의 불안감이나 스트레스가 감소하여 상하 간 커뮤니케이션이 보다 원활하게 흐르게 된 것이라 해석된다. 본 연구는 기업용 SNS 이용수준이 커뮤니케이션 수준을 향상시켜 업무성과를 높인다는 커뮤니케이션 수준의 매개효과를 검증하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 그리고 변화관리와 조직 문화적 적합성이 요구되는 다른 유형의 정보시스템과 달리 기업용 SNS는 구성원들이 오프라인 커뮤니케이션 상의 문화적 한계를 우회하도록 지원함으로서 커뮤니케이션을 활성화하고 업무성과를 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
