The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among health literacy, body shape and health risk perception on health promotion behaviors and identify the factors that influence on health promotion behaviors in the adolescents. The participants for this study were 120 adolescents from two middle school located in J city. Descriptive statistics, t-test or ANOVA with Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS 20.0. The result of the multiple regression indicates the health risk perception, middle school grade and gender predict 14.0% (F=6.27, P<.001) of health promotion behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an intervention program to lower health risk perception in order to increase the health promotion behavior of adolescents.

This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the depression and social anxiety of nursing students on happiness. The study subjects were 316 nursing students, and data were collected from October to November 2018. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The study showed that happiness and depression had negative effects on social anxiety, and depression and social anxiety had negative effects on happiness. Based on these results, it is necessary to prepare measures to reduce the depression and social anxiety experienced by nursing students in order to promote the happiness of nursing students. In the future, exploratory research should be continued considering the factors affecting the happiness of nursing college students in consideration of various factors and environments.

Data were collected with structured qustionnaires from November 4 from December 13, 2019. Data were analyzed SPSS/WIN 21 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. The significant factors of the dementia nursing performance among long-term hospitals nurses were dementia attitude (β=.280, p=.001), nursing professionalism(β=.237, p=.006), burden form BPSD(β=-.174, p=.012), and dementia education experience(β=.166, p=.014). Therefore, in order to improve dementia nursing performance among long-term care hospital nurses, it is necessary to develop program and apply dementia education to establish a positive dementia attitude and nursing professionalism, and to reduce the burden of dementia behavioral and psychological symptoms.

This study proposes an algorithm for predicting breast cancer prognosis based on genetic network. We identify prognosis-specific network using gene expression data and PPI(protein-protein interaction) data. To acquire the network, we calculate Pearson's correlation coefficient(PCC) between genes in all PPI pairs using gene expression data. We develop a prediction model for breast cancer patients with estrogen-receptor-negative using the network as a classifier. We compare classification performance of our algorithm with existing algorithms on independent data and shows our algorithm is improved. In addition, we make an functionality analysis on the genes in the prognosis-specific network using GO(Gene Ontology) enrichment validation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between oral health impact profile, depression and quality of life among community-dwelling elderly persons in South Korea. Methods: The design of this research was cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants were 266 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 and older. Data were collected from November 20 to December 20, 2011. The measurements for assessing the subjects' oral health, depression, quality of life were OHIP-14, GDS-SF and QOL. Data were collected using self-administered or interviewer-administered questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The participants' mean age was 77.68, and 86.5% were female, 42.9% were living-alone elders. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis found that oral health impact profile was significantly associated with depression (r=-.622, p<.001), QOL (r=-.400, p<.001), number of disease (r=.298, p<.001), age (r=.198, p=.002), education (r=-.149, p=.015), eating habit (r=.185, p=.003). The QOL was explained 54.7% by depression (${\beta}$=-.619), oral health impact profile (${\beta}$=-.127), number of benefited welfare service (${\beta}$=.235), perceived health (${\beta}$=-.327), eating habit (${\beta}$=-.094) using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Conclusion: These results indicate that the intervention program of oral health promotion for community-dwelling elders is needed from now on.

This study was conducted to identify the level of empathy and clinical practice stress and the relationship between empathy and clinical practice stress in nursing students. Data were collected from 252 nursing students between 1st September and 31st December 2013. 249 questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The mean scores of empathy level in the subcategories for perspective taking 3.57, fantasy 3.59, empathic concern 3.72 and personal distress 3.15 were above median and the mean score for clinical practice stress 3.03 was above median. Clinical practice stress positively correlated with personal distress on empathy. These findings indicate that there is a need to manage personal distress on empathy for nursing students with high level of personal distress to lessen stress in clinical practice of nursing students.

The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in transfer motivation and learning self-efficacy before and after applying virtual simulation for nursing in psychiatric nursing practice, and to provide them as basic data for effective psychiatric practical education. This study was conducted from October to December 2020. The subjects were 41 people who were enrolled in the third year of a located in U city, and who had received psychiatric nursing practice education using virtual simulation for nursing. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and pearson's correlation coefficient. After practice compared to before psychiatric nursing practice with virtual simulation nursing applied, transfer motivation was significantly increased and learner self-efficacy increased, but it was not statistically significant. Therefore, It was confirmed that psychiatric nursing practice education using virtual simulation for nursing is partly an effective practice strategy.
