This survey of children's perceptions and experiences of death was conducted with 118 6th-grade elementary school children in Seoul. Data consisted of responses to questionnaires in three categories : (1) perceptions of death, (2) views of afterlife, and (3) death-related experiences (life, education, and media). Results showed that children had negative emotions (61.8%) such as fear and anxiety about death. Children's attitudes about suicide were sympathetic (34.5%) as well as critical (53.7%). There was no relation between religion and view of afterlife. Finally, children experienced death more through mass media (TV, internet, etc.) than through life experience or death education. This study suggests the necessity for death education and warns of negative effects of media and games.

Purpose: This study was to describe nurses' research activities, perceptions and performances of evidence-based practice and barriers to the use of research evidence in nursing practice in Korea. Method: A cross-sectional survey design was used. A questionnaire, except for Barriers Scale, was developed for the study. Data was collected from a convenient sample of 437 registered nurses working at research and education oriented university hospitals.

This study compared student teachers' perceptions about teaching practices and the current state of practice teaching before and after practice teaching. Subjects were 96 students at three-year colleges in Suncheon, Jollanam-do. The survey used a questionnaire, 'kindergarten teachers' recognition of practice teaching and the current state of practice teaching,'(Woo and Choi 2004), revised for this research. Differences were observed in mean scores between before and after practice teaching(t=4.30, p<.001). In sub-areas, significant differences were observed in the role of student teachers, the contents of teaching, support system, evaluation and preliminary guidance(p<.001), but not in the evaluation of practice teaching and student teachers' attitudes(p>.05). This information should be beneficial for teachers' colleges in preparation of practice teaching programs.

This study examines if the uniform-related perceptions influence the formation of professional identity. A self-administered survey was conducted on 346 female nursing officers at military hospitals. The independent variables were the basic characteristics, perception of clothing benefit, perception of nursing uniform, and perception of the officer uniform. For the data analysis, we used paired t-test and hierarchical regression analysis. Using a paired t-test, we found the difference in function and satisfaction between nursing uniforms and officer uniforms.
