Purpose: This study was performed to compare mothers' health promotion behaviors between those who have a disabled child and those who have a healthy child. Method: The participants were 243 mothers from 24 Daycare Centers for Children with Disabilities and 310 mothers from 5 child daycare centers. Mothers with preschool children completed self-report questionnaires, asking about health behaviors for preschool children. Data from these surveys was analyzed using the ANOVA, t-test, and $x^2$-test with the SPSS 15.0 Win program. Result: Mothers with disabled children showed less health promotion behaviors than the mothers' of children without disabilities. Two sub-categories, activity-exercise and health perception-health management pattern, showed significant differences between the two groups. In addition, mothers' health behaviors for disabled children were significantly different according to the children's age, mothers' employed status, and number of children in the family. Conclusion: These results suggest that mothers with disabled preschool children are likely to practice less health promotion behaviors with their children compared to others. These findings suggest that health promotion support programs for mothers with disabled children should be developed and offered. For effective intervention, pediatric nurses also need to be involved in the health of disabled children.

Although population of the elderly is increasing rapidly, the older adults are the least users of the Internet in Korea. Prior research suggests that older adults are physically and psychologically disadvantaged when using the Internet. With the existence of the digital divide over different age groups, the objectives of this study were to identify the current status of Internet usage of Korean adults and to suggest some alternatives for solving digital divide on Internet usage. A total of 654 Korean adults, including the elderly, participated in both on-line and off-line (on-site interview) surveys using structured questionnaires. The results of statistical analyses indicated that the gap between the percentages of Internet users in younger and older groups was significantly wide, though many older adults had strong interests of Internet. To reduce this gap on digital divide, with an appropriate help from family and government, several characteristics of the elderly should be considered in designing some age-related web sites. Some effective alternatives suggested in this study may be used as basic data for universal design of Internet-oriented software.

Purpose: To understand the recent trend of studies for nursing job stress, we collected Korean articles about job stress of clinical nurses. Method: Seventy two articles were selected from the database of "richis", Korean journals of related academic society, and dissertation papers, which are presented from 1981 to 2002. Result: The trend shows that the number of researches for the job stress of clinical nurses are increasing from the year of 1996. Most of the researches are for dissertation papers (75.0%), have done surveys (90.3%), and used questionnaires (94.4%). The nurses who were studied have their jobs in general wards of hospitals (50.6%). And 36.1% of the researches used the tool of Kim and Gu (1984) to measure job stress. These researches focused mainly on job satisfaction, burnout and coping successively. Conclusion: As only 6 out of 72 researches examined in this study have experimental design (8.3%), it can be said that more experimental studies are needed in this area. And we might also consider to use meta-analytic techniques for further studies, because these researches have used very similar tools for the same subject.
