Background: Depressive symptoms (DS) can erode physical and mental health; social support (SS) is considered a buffer for DS and a promoter for improving coping and recovery abilities. However, there is almost no research on the mediating role of negative coping (NC) in SS and DS, especially among firefighters. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among firefighters in Chongqing, China, and the valid data of 407 firefighters were collected through questionnaires distributed on the WeChat platform in 2020. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 26.0 is used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Structural equation modeling was adopted to analyze the association among SS, NC, and DS. The mediation effect is also evaluated. Results: Firefighters' detection rate of DS is 23.3%, and when they receive more SS were less likely to develop DS. NC was positively correlated with DS (β = 0.54, p < 0.001) after controlling for SS. Besides, the results of structural equation modeling showed that NC partially mediates the relationship between SS and DS (standard error = 0.039, indirect effects = 0.109, 95% confidence interval: 0.047-0.200 p < 0.001). Conclusion: NC has a partial indirect effect between SS and DS among firefighters. SS could not only affect DS directly but also indirect work on it by affecting NC. This discovery will be a novel and meaningful part of the research on the firefighter population.

This study aimed at identifying theirs relative importance and the factors affecting self-sufficiency in rural multicultural families. The major findings that were drawn from this study were as follows : Frist, the difference in the self-sufficiency level of their family perceived between husband and married immigrant women was not significant. But, in the level of self-sufficiency will, the level perceived by the husband was higher than it of the women significantly. Second, the hierarchical regression analysis showed that the age of the women(${\ss}=.31$) affected most significantly the self-sufficiency in rural multicultural families, followed by the labour morale of the women(${\ss}=.25$), labour morale of the husband(${\ss}=.20$), academic background of the husband(${\ss}=.19$), academic background of the women(${\ss}=.12$), spouse support level of the women toward the husband(${\ss}=.12$). Third, as a result of a hierarchical regression analysis, the self-sufficiency will variables had more explanatory power on it than social-demographic and/or social support variables. In conclusion, based on results of this study, several plans improving self-sufficiency of the rural multicultural family were suggested. Findings of this study may be used as a basic material to establish the policy supporting self-sufficiency in rural multicultural families.

본 연구는 중년 성인의 건강통제위, 사회적 지지, 자기효능감과 건강증진행위 간의 관계와 건강증진행위 영향 요인을 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 자료수집은 충북과 충남지역의 2개 도시의 중년 성인 137명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 2016년 7월부터 8월까지 2개월간 시행되었다. 수집한 자료는 기술통계와 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, 위계적 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 건강증진행위는 일반적 특성 중 주관적 건강(F=10.14, p<.001)과 경제 수준(F=3.32, p=.039)에 따라 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 주요 변수 간의 관계에서 건강증진행위는 자기효능감 (r=.44, p<.001) 및 사회적 지지 (r=.45, p<.001)와 유의한 정적 상관관계를 나타내었다. 일반적 특성, 건강통제위, 자기효능감, 사회적 지지가 건강증진행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 다중 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 주관적 건강상태 (${\beta}=.24$, p=.002), 자기효능감 (${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), 사회적 지지 (${\beta}=.30$, p<.001)가 주요 영향요인이었으며, 이 모델은 36.4%의 설명력을 나타내었다. 연구결과 자기효능감과 사회적 지지가 건강증진행위의 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났으므로 중년 성인의 건강행위 증진을 위해서는 자기효능감과 사회적 지지를 반영한 건강증진프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하다.

Purpose: To study the quality of life and to identify associated factors among breast cancer patients undergoing treatment in national cancer centers in Nepal. Materials and Methods: One hundred breast cancer patients were selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-BR23 were used to assess quality of life and modified Medical Outcome Study -Social Support survey(mMOS-SS) was used to assess social support. Only multi-item scales of EORTC C30 and BR23 were analyzed for relationships. Independent sample T-tests and ANOVA were applied to analyze differences in mean scores. Results: The score of global health status/quality of life (GHS/GQoL) was marginally above average (mean=52.8). The worst performed scales in C-30 were emotional and social function while best performed scales were physical and role function. In BR-23, most of the patients fell into the problematic group regarding sexual function and enjoyment. Almost 90% had financial difficulties. Symptom scales did not demonstrate many problems. Older individuals, patients with stage I breast cancer and thosewith good social support were found to have good GHS/GQoL. Of all the influencing factors, social support was established to have strong statistical associations with most of the functional scales: GHS/GQoL (0.003), emotional function (<0.001), cognitive function (0.020), social function (<0.001) and body image function (0.011). Body image was significantly associated with most of the influencing factors: monthly family income (0.003), type of treatment (<0.001), type of surgery (<0.001), stage of cancer (0.017) and social support (0.011). Conclusions: Strategies to improve social support of the patients undergoing treatment should be given priority and financial difficulties faced by breast cancer patients should be well addressed from a policy making level by initiating health financing system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing symptom self management (SSM) in the patient with a chronic mental disorder. Method: Data was collected by questionnaires from 204 chronic mental disorders in an outpatient clinic in a General Hospital and Public Mental Health Centers in Seoul and Kyunggi Province. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression, Results: The score of SSM showed a significantly positive correlation with the score of the level of self efficacy (SE) (r=.33, p=.00), social support (SS) (r=.27, p=.00), self care agency (SCA) (r=.36, p=.00) and daily living ability (DLA) (r=.34, p=.00). The score of DLA showed a significantly positive correlation with the score of level of SE (r=.46, p=.00), SS (r=.51, p=.00), and SCA (r=.52, p=.00), The most powerful predictor of SSM was SCA ($14\%$). A combination of SCA, DLA, and SS account for $20 \%$ of the variance in SSM. Conclusion: This study suggests that SCA, DLA, and SS are significant influencing factors on SSM in patients with chronic mental disorders.

본 연구는 유방암 환자의 외상 후 성장에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고자 진행되었으며 자료수집은 인천광역시 내 대학병원 외래를 내원하여 유방암 진단을 받고 치료과정 중에 있는 유방암 환자 100명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구도구는 한국어판 외상 후 성장 척도(K-PTGI), 사회적지지(mMOS-SS), 유방암 자가관리에 대한 자기효능감 척도(SESSM-B)와 대처행동(CCQ) 도구를 사용하였다. 자료의 분석은 t-검정, ANOVA, Pearson 상관분석, 단계적 다중회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과 외상 후 성장 정도는 5점만점에 평균 3.4(${\pm}0.9$)점이었다. 외상 후 성장은 사회적 지지, 유방암 자가관리에 대한 자기효능감, 대처행동과 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 단계적 다중회귀분석에서, 치료이행 자기효능감과 긍정적 재구조화 대처행동이 유방암환자의 외상 후 성장 영향 요인으로 나타났고, 이들 변수들의 설명력은 29%였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 유방암환자의 외상 후 성장을 향상시킬 수 있는 간호 중재 개발을 고려할 필요가 있겠다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of life and related factors of CVA surgery patients. Method: The subjects were 64 CVA surgery patients who had discharged and received follow up care at the OPD. Data were collected using William's SS-QOL instrument and IADL. And Data were analyzed with SPSS WIN program in which frequency, percentage, t-test, Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression were used to examine the quality of life and related factors. Result: General characteristics related to QOL were marital status and economical status. Depression was the most important factor with influence on QOL in CVA disease patients after surgery. There were further positive correlation between patient's IADL and QOL and between patient's social support and QOL. Meanwhile the patient's depression level was negatively correlated with QOL. Conclusion: Depression was the most important factor with influence on QOL in CVA patients after surgery. Therefore active nursing intervention to decrease depression and to improve patient's physical functional status in needed. And the patient's family should be included in all nursing intervention and patient education so that the patient's quality of life is prompted by the maintenance of optimal wellbeing.
