This study attempts to reveal the causal relationship between certain variables, with the objective being to investigate the influence of career disability on self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of Chinese college students. In terms of data collection, online surveys were conducted during the period spanning September 1 to September 20, 2022 targeting fourth-year university students living in Liaoning, China. A total of 536 completed surveys were used for the final analysis, and the SPSS 25.0 program was employed in this regard. The results of the study confirmed that the career barriers of Chinese college students had both positive and negative effects on career decision-making self-efficacy and career preparation behavior, signaling a partial causal relationship. This indicates that career barriers are not only negative factors in career decision-making or career preparation. The current study is meaningful in that the results can serve as the basis for future studies, as the work itself investigated the influence of career barriers on career decision self-efficacy and career preparation behavior; additionally, the results were quantified. It is anticipated that there will be further studies on such influences considering the diverse variables of career barriers, career decision self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information on career preparation to Chinese college students - information which can be used as empirical data.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the types of perception toward non-face-to-face clinical practice and to characterize the types of students who experienced online clinical practice during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Q-methodology was used in this study, and 270 Q populations were formed based on in-depth interviews with 10 nursing students who had experienced non-face-to-face clinical practice, as well as related literature. Interviews were performed from August 1 to 31, 2022. A total of 42 Q samples were extracted, and Q sorting was performed on 33 nursing students who had experienced non-face-to-face clinical practice. A Q factor analysis was performed using the PC-QUANL program. Results: The nursing students' perceptions of non-face-to-face clinical practice were classified into the following five types: "future professional competency-focused type," "realistic convenience priority type," "task burden awareness type," "negative critic type," and "limited experience dissatisfaction type." Conclusion: This study revealed non-face-to-face clinical practice's positive and negative aspects in nursing education. Moreover, it identified the aspects of clinical practice that cannot be replaced by non-face-to-face clinical practice and the elements of non-face-to-face practice that can complement clinical practice. These findings can be used as fundamental data to establish a stable and efficient system for improving the quality of clinical practice in the post-COVID-19 era and to implement effective non-face-to-face clinical practice according to student types.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to examine the dysphagia knowledge, preventive attitudes toward dysphagia, and educational needs concerning geriatric oral health, of dental hygienists, and to provide fundamental information for recognizing the necessity of knowledge and education concerning geriatric oral health and for increasing educational needs. Methods: From April 1 to June 30, 2022, a questionnaire survey was administered to 198 dental hygienists via an online link. SPSS Statistics ver. 22.0 was used to conduct the frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Regarding the difference in knowledge of dysphagia depending on general characteristics, the study participants had more knowledge of dysphagia when they were more interested in dysphagia and had a higher geriatric treatment frequency. The preventive attitudes toward dysphagia were strong in those who graduated from graduate school or higher, had more prevention and education at work, became more interested in dysphagia, received more education about dysphagia, had intention to receive additional education on dysphagia, and had a higher geriatric treatment frequency. Positive correlations were observed between knowledge of dysphagia, preventive attitudes toward dysphagia, and educational needs related to geriatric oral health. The educational needs related to geriatric oral health were found to be, significantly and positively influenced by preventive attitudes toward dysphagia, having master's degree or higher, knowledge of dysphagia, and intention to receive additional education on dysphagia. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve the quality of oral health services offered to older patients by having accurate knowledge of dysphagia implementing appropriate prevention practices for dysphagia, and understanding the educational content needed by the oral hygienists and developing an effective education program to enhance their professionalism.

This study was conducted to confirm the mediating effect of interpersonal skills on the relationship between COVID-19 stress and digital addiction of nursing students. Data were collected through an online survey from April 1 to April 30, 2022, for 207 students in the first and second grades of nursing department in two cities. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs. As a result of the analysis, COVID-19 stress had a significant direct effect on interpersonal ability(β=.21, p=.015) and digital addiction(β=.20,p=.003). But the indirect effect was not significant, so there no mediating effect on interpersonal ability between the stress of COVID-19 and digital addiction(β=.07, p=.314). Based on the results of this study, we suggest the development of a program to identify factors affecting digital addiction and to prevent and manage digital addiction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of an assessment tool for dental hygienists' consideration of patients with mild disabilities. Methods: Thirty-seven preliminary questions were compiled through literature review, and thirty-two questions were selected through content validity testing by eight experts. Two hundred and three dental hygienists completed the assessment tool as an online survey. The construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the tool were investigated using the SPSS 26.0 program. The construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis. The internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95% confidence intervals was calculated for test-retest reliability. Results: Ten items and four factors were selected through exploratory factor analysis. The internal consistency reliability of the tool was found to be Cronbach's alpha=0.658, and test-retest reliability was found to be ICC=0.812. Conclusions: An assessment tool of care for patients with mild disabilities by dental hygienists is a reliable and valid tool suitable for the job characteristics of dental hygienists.
