Despite the ubiquity of telephone, the medium has received far less scholarly attention than it should deserve. This study begin with the purpose of fair appraisement of telephone in Korean social communication. To accomplish this purpose, the gratification obtained from telephone, the appropriateness of it as interpersonal communication medium and communication network through telephone were studied. The related raw data were collected from on-line survey process, and statistically analyzed. The result showed sociability, information, transaction, entertainment, emergency, and reassurance are gratifications obtained from telephone use. Younger persons tend to have more positive attitude to mobile phone as interpersonal communication medium. Particularly when the seniors are interpersonal communication partner and impending task is advice or request, younger persons tend to perceive mobile phone more appropriate than the elder persons do. And mobile phone deepens 'communication endogamy' of our society, especially in the youth. Thus, it is plausible to predict that mobile phone will be more important in social communication of our society when the youth become the mainstream of our society.

The subjects of the study were nurses working for D university hospital located in C city and comprised an experimental group of 21 people and a control group of 21 people.

For data analysis, the SPSS for Windows 23 was used for the mean and standard deviation of pre-post tests, and U-test of the independent sample Mann-Whitney and the Wilcoxon code order test of the corresponding sample were carried out. The study results indicate that, compared with the control group, the experimental group showed communication capacity (Z=-3.361, p<.05), emotional intelligence (Z=-2.209, p<.05), self-esteem (Z=-1.633, p<.05), and interpersonal relationship (Z=-2.577, p<.05).
