The Effect of Curriculum with voluntary program on Self-Actualization in Nursing Students. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the voluntary program experience with curriculum on self-actualization in nursing college students and to guide the desirable voluntary activity of college students. The research design utilized in this study was one group pretest-posttest design. The data were gathered two times with self-actualization test. First data were gathered before voluntary activity. And second data were gathered after instruction and five times voluntary activity. The data were analized by frequency, t-test, paired t-test and ANOVA using the SAS program. The results were as follows: The scores of self-actualization in nursing students belonged to normal range. Before voluntary activity, the scores were significantly higher than standardized group in Nature of Man, Constructive Scale (P<.001), and the scores were significantly lower than standardized group in Feeling Reactivity Scale(P<.05) and Capacity for Intimate Construct Sscale (P<.001). After the activity the scores were significantly higher than standardized group in Self Actualizing Values Scale(P<.001), Existentiality (P<.01), Spontaneity Scale (P<.001). Self Acceptance Scale(P<.05) and Nature of Man, Constructive Scale (P<.001). After the activity the scores were significantly increased more than before the activity in Inner Directed Scale (P<.001). Self Actualizing Values Scale (P<.001), Feeling Reactivity Scale (P<.001), Capacity for Intimate Construct Sscale (P<.001). Spontaneity Scale (P<.01), Time Competent Scale (P<.05) and Existentiality (P<.05). And the scores were not significantly increased more than before the activity in Self Regard Scale, Self Acceptance Scale and Nature of Man, Constructive Scale. The results of this study showed that voluntary activities were effective self-actualization. So, it is thought that voluntary program is necessary in the curriculum for nursing college students. This study suggests as follows : 1) It is necessary to inspect the self-actualization test after various experience of voluntary activity in college students. 2) It is necessary to grope the plans to activate the social service programs. 3) It is necessary to study continious and voluntary social service of college students.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the level of cosmetic surgery experience, perception of side effects, self-esteem, acceptance of cosmetic surgery (ACS) and to explore factors affecting ACS among undergraduate students. A convenience sample of 255 students from three universities completed a self-administered questionnaire from May, 25, 2016 to May, 31, 2016. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression. As a results, 11.5% of students had at least one cosmetic surgery and the majority of them had blepharoplasty. A total of 86.3% of students had heard of cosmetic surgery side effects and the most common source of information were TV, newspapers, magazines and internet. ACS was significantly different by gender, school year, perception of side effects, and cosmetic surgery experience. ACS and self-esteem showed a negative correlation. Previous experience of cosmetic surgery, self-esteem, school year, and gender were identified as influencing factors on ACS which explained 19.0% of total variance. In conclusion, to help college students make rational decisions on cosmetic surgery, provision of sufficient information, improvement of self-esteem, and introduction of gender and school year based intervention are recommended.

Background: To evaluate knowledge of Bangkok women regarding HPV and self-sampled HPV testing, and their attitudes towards testing. Materials and Methods: Thai women who had lived in Bangkok for more than 5 years, aged 25-to-65 years old, were invited to join the study. Participating women were asked to a complete self-questionnaire (Thai language), with literate assistance as needed. The questionnaire was divided into 3 parts: (I) demographic data, (II) knowledge and (III) attitudes towards self-sampled HPV testing. Before proceeding to Part III of the questionnaire, a 15-minute educational video of self-sampled HPV testing was presented to all participants. Results: Among 2,810 women who answered the questionnaires, 33.7% reported that they did not know about HPV. The characteristic features of these women were older age (> 50 years), lower income (< 600 USD/month), unemployed status, and non-attendees at cervical cancer screening. Only small numbers of women (4.6%) responded that they had heard about self-sampled HPV testing. After having information, 59.6% would not use the self-sampled HPV testing as a method of cervical cancer screening (non-acceptance). Factors significantly associated with the non-acceptance were older age, lower income, having no knowledge about HPV or self-collected HPV testing, a perception that the testing was unreliable and a concern that they might not be able to perform it correctly. Conclusions: Nearly half and almost all Bangkok women did not know about HPV and self-sampled HPV testing, respectively. Approximately 60% of Bangkok women refused to do the self-sampled HPV testing. Significant negative attitudes were concerns that the testing would be unreliable and a lack of confidence to perform the procedure correctly. Education about HPV and self-sampled HPV testing, ease of the procedure, or the testing models may increase rate of acceptability or positive attitudes.

The purpose of this study is to examine sidedness effects of a Ad message and moderating roles of consumers' psychological characteristics such as self-construal. This study also examine moderating roles of product type in these direct effects. To test these research hypotheses, this study conducted experimental designs. Two hundred thirty-eight undergraduate students were assigned to one of the four experimental groups. Message type and product type were manipulated as between-subject factors. The data demonstrate that message types have a significant effect on both attitude toward Ad and acceptance intention. In addition, consumers' self-construal plays a significant moderating role between the message types and the dependent variables. Furthermore, product types also shows a moderating effect on the accpetance intention, yet not on the attitude toward Ad. The results of this study suggest various implications by indicating Ad message as an important factor which can enhance customers' positive responses but has been passed over by the previous research. We also indicated the limitations of this study, and suggested the future research directions.

This study empirically analyzed the effects of immersion and self-efficacy on the intention to continuously use realistic media. To this end, we used an extended technology acceptance model that includes not only the perceived ease of use and usefulness, but also the perceived joy as important factors. We collected data from 595 participants through an online questionnaire survey and tested the research model using a covariance-based SEM. As a result, we found that a user's immersion significantly increased perceived usefulness, ease of use, and joy of realistic media; and self-efficacy increased perceived usefulness and ease of use. Although the effect of perceived usefulness was relatively stronger than that of perceived joy, we found that the effect of perceived joy on the intention to use was also quite large. The effect of perceived ease of use on intention to use was found to be completely mediated by perceived usefulness and joy. In addition, the differences according to the types of media were tested by comparing two groups: augmented reality and virtual reality. The effects of perceived ease, usefulness, and joy on the intention to use were very similar regardless of the type of immersive media. However, it was found that self-efficacy increases usefulness only in augmented reality. Based on our findings, we have discussed the implications of our study, as well as the scope for future research.
