While e-learners' satisfaction would be determined by qualify of e-learning environment including learning management systems, learning contents and interactions, the influence of quality on satisfaction can be changed by e-learners' self-regulated efficacy The objective of this study is to show difference of the relationship between qualify and satisfaction In e-learning by self-regulated efficacy. For this purpose, we propose a research model which consists of five quality factors in e-learning as explaining variables, satisfaction as a result variable and self-regulated efficacy as a control variable. For empirical test of this model, the sample is collected from e-learning classes in a college and divided into two groups by self-regulated efficacy in order to analyze the effects of control variable. By multi-group analysis, we show two groups are different from each other in the relationship between quality and satisfaction of e-learning environment.

Two studies were conducted to examine the relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and industrial accidents. In the preliminary study, focus group interviews were conducted with employees working in manufacturing and construction sector, safety managers, and government officials to understand factors that were associated with industrial accidents. Based on interviews, a questionnaire survey was constructed to assess individual factors (such as self-efficacy beliefs, following safety procedures, life-satisfaction, and stress) that were identified as affecting industrial accidents (such as minor and major accident rates). The questionnaire were administered to a total of 917 respondents (542 employees working in the manufacturing and construction sector, 210 safety managers, and 165 government employee officials overseeing government regulations). The result indicated that three subscales of self-efficacy for employees (self-regulation, enlisting social support, and controlling the environment) were negatively correlated with the company's industrial accident rates. Moreover, those employees with higher self-efficacy were more likely to follow safety procedures and had higher life-satisfaction and lower stress levels. For safety managers, the self-efficacy beliefs were positively correlated with better implementation and higher effectiveness of the educational programs and negatively correlated with their company's accident rates.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a self-efficacy promotion program and to identify the effects of the program on degree of urinary incontinence, self-efficacy and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence. Method: The study used a pre-experimental design. Twenty participants were recruited from a nursing home located in Gwangju City and included residents, employees, and volunteer workers with urinary incontinence. Participants were surveyed from September 21 to November 2, 2005. The program treatment was provided to participants once a week for 6 weeks. Results: Frequency, amount, and situation scores for urinary incontinence, maximum and mean vaginal constriction pressure, vaginal constriction time, and nocturnal frequency were significantly improved after participating in the program (p<0.05). However, there was no significant pre- and posttest difference in frequency of daily urination (p=0.097). The degree of self-efficacy and quality of life for participants in the self-efficacy promotion program at posttest were significantly higher compared to the pretest scores (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of the study indicate that a self-efficacy promotion program can be implemented for women with urinary incontinence in community health centers or nursing homes in order to reduce their incontinence symptoms, and increase self-efficacy and quality of life.

Purpose: This purpose of study was to investigate the relationships among functional state, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction in the elderly with decreased visual acuity. Methods: The subjects were 162 elderly people from the G university hospital. Functional state was measured by Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI) and Minimum Data Set-Home Care version 2.0 (MDS HC 2.0). Self-efficacy and Life satisfaction were measured by the tool of Rho & Lee (2011) and Yoon (2007). Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and logistic regression. Results: The daily life function was significantly associated with self-efficacy and vision decrease. The regression model with these two variables explained 35.6% of the variance of daily life function. IADL was significantly associated with vision decrease, age, gender, and self-efficacy. The regression model with the three variables explained 52.9% of the variance of IADL. Life satisfaction is significantly associated with self-efficacy, daily life function, vision decrease and IADL. The last regression model with the four variables explained 51.8% of the variance of life satisfaction. Conclusion: The levels of functional state, self-efficacy and life satisfaction in the elderly with decreased visual acuity were low. Self-efficacy was an important factor that influences on the functional state and life satisfaction. Therefore, nursing interventions that can enhance the self-efficacy are required in order to increase the functional state and life satisfaction in the elderly with decreased visual acuity.

This study was conducted to identify the relations between the factors influencing syndrome and physical disability of fibromyalgia patients. The subjects of this study were 125 outpatients selected at H. Rheumatism clinic from February to July in 1997, The Collected data were analyzed by Frequency, Pearson correlation using SPSS Windows and Path analysis using LISREL 7.16. The results were as follows. 1. General characteristics of subjects About 2/3 of subjects were over 40years of age and most of them were graduated from high school. The Christian were over a half (54.0%) of subjects. 2. Correlation between Family support, knowledge, Self-efficacy, Syndrome and physical disability. As knowledge was positively related to self-efficacy(r=.306), the family support was positively related to self-efficacy(r=.217), and family support was negatively to syndrome. Self-efficacy showed negative relation with syndrome and Physical disability. Syndrome as physical disability represent positive relation. Therefore all hypotheses were supported. 3. Causal relations between research variables. Family support influenced on syndrome, as syndrome on physical activity, as well as knowledge on self-efficacy & physical disability. The model also showed a good fit to the data[$X^2$=1.21 df=1(p=.546), GFI=.996, AGFI=.971, RMSR=.023]. 4. Correlation between symptoms of Fibromyalyia. Having analyzed the relations between tender point, pain, stiffness, functional disturbance, sleep disturbance, depression, fatigue, anxiety, the results were as follows ; All relations show statistically positive correlation, which means close relationship between symptoms, except between pain and depression, pain and anxiety. As a result, symptoms of Fibromyalgia had close relation. Therefore, these were common, rather than individual symptoms. This syndrome influenced on physical disability, and self-efficacy on the both, as knowledge on self-efficacy. In conclusion, to improve syndrome relief and physical disability of fibromyalgia, nursing interventions such as education, self-efficacy increasing stratagy, and family counseling are needed.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between self efficacy and a health locus of control. We conveniently sampled 204 university students who smoke. We invastigated by using questionaries and collected data that were analyzed using a t - test, an analysis of variance, a Pearson product-moment correlation. The results are as follows: 1. The average score of self efficacy was 66.16 (out of a total score of 100.00) in university students who smoke. In relation to the health locus of control, the internality score was highest at 25.22, the influence of others was 20.39, and the effect of chance was 15.86. 2. In a significant test of the general character other and aspect related to the smoking of the subjects and in the score of the health locus of control, the internality score of subjects who had been never been asked to quit smoking was higher than that of subjects who had been. There are significant differences in the scores concerning the influence of powerful others, especially religion. In chance occurrences, the score of subjects in medical school was higher than in other schools. The lower the age one beginns smoking, the higher the score of chance. 3. In a significant test of the general character and other aspects related to smoking and the score of self efficacy, there was no significant relationship. 4. Considering the relation of self efficacy to a health locus of control, a positive relationship between self efficacy and internality, and the influence of others, but not between self efficacy and the effect of chance. With these results, we can conclude that the higher the level of self efficacy, the higher the internality, the higher the influence of powerful others. Consequently, it is necessary to identify the relationships clearly among self efficacy the health locus of control by repeated research. It can be used to support, revise and develop health behavior theory.
