Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of first clinical training on stress, anxiety and changes in autonomic nervous system in nursing students. Methods: Seventy-four nursing students were assigned to the experimental group (n=36) that had two weeks of clinical training, and the control group (n=38) that had only two weeks of regular classes. Perceived stress, state anxiety and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured at the beginning and end of the experiment. Results: Perceived stress in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group. However, State anxiety was not significantly different between the two groups. All indices of HRV except LF/HF ratio were significantly different between the two groups. LF norm in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group, and HF norm in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group. Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be suggested that clinical training increases the perceived stress and affects the changes in autonomic nervous system in nursing students.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of Simulation-Based Training on anxiety, depression and self-efficacy in nursing students. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design (one group pre-test and post-test design) and a questionnaire for measuring anxiety, depression and self-efficacy were used in this study. The participants were 97 students of a nursing college. Data were collected before the program and immediately after the program. Means, SD, paired t-test, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ with the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program were used to analyze the data. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in anxiety (p=.012) and a statistically significant increase in self-efficacy (p=.048), but not in depression (p=.439) among the nursing students who underwent Simulation-Based Training. Conclusion: From the findings of this study, it was demonstrated that Simulation-Based Training interventions had effects on anxiety and self-efficacy. Therefore, future and/or repeat studies will actively apply Simulation-Based Training interventions.

과학 학습 과정에서 유발되는 상태호기심과 상태불안은 학업 수행 및 성취에 많은 영향을 미친다. 상태호기심과 상태불안은 매 순간마다 그 수준이 변할 수 있기 때문에 학습의 전 과정에서 학생의 상태호기심과 상태불안 수준을 파악하여 지도할 필요가 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 과학 학습을 과학 문제 대면, 결과 확인, 과학 개념 학습의 세 상황으로 구분하여 초등학교 5~6학년 학생을 대상으로 자신의 예상과 결과의 일치 여부에 따른 학생들의 상태호기심 및 상태불안 수준의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 문제 대면 후 결과를 확인하는 과정에서 자신의 예상과 일치한 결과에 직면한 nVOE 집단의 상태호기심 수준은 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 자신의 예상과 일치하지 않은 결과에 직면한 VOE 집단의 상태호기심은 증가하였다. VOE 집단 중 결과에 대한 이유를 바르게 추론한 VOE-R 집단의 상태호기심 수준은 유의한 변화가 없었지만 결과에 대한 이유를 바르게 추론하지 못한 VOE-FR 집단의 상태호기심은 증가하였다. 한편 문제의 결과를 확인한 후 VOE 집단과 nVOE 집단의 상태불안은 감소하였으며 VOE-R 집단 역시 상태불안이 감소하였다. 반면 VOE-FR 집단의 상태불안은 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 문제의 결과를 확인한 후 결과에 대한 과학 개념을 학습하는 과정에서 VOE 집단, nVOE 집단, VOE-FR 집단의 상태호기심은 모두 감소하였다. 한편 nVOE 집단의 상태불안 수준은 유의한 변화가 없었지만, VOE 집단, VOE-R 집단, VOE-FR 집단의 상태불안 수준은 감소하였다. 이러한 연구 결과의 교육적 함의에 대하여 논의하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학 학습에서 유발되는 학생의 정서적 상태에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music therapy on state anxiety and pain among patients undergoing burn dressing changes. Method: A convenience sample of 32 adult burn patients who were eligible and provided consent were included in the study which was a quasi-experimental study of a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Fifteen patients in the control group received the routine burn dressing changes but 17 patients in the experimental group listened to self-selected music through headphones connected to a CD player during burn dressing changes for three days. All subjects of the music group chose the type of music that would relax them. Before and after burn dressing changes, subjects completed the State Anxiety Inventory and self-report of pain scores. Result: There was a significant reduction in state anxiety before and after burn dressing changes in those who received music therapy in contrast to those who did not receive music therapy. The music group reported lower pain scores before and after burn dressing changes than did the non-music group. Conclusion: These findings indicate that music therapy composed of self-selected music is a valuable intervention for the treatment of pain and anxiety in patients undergoing burn dressing changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pre-warming on body temperature, anxiety, pain, and thermal comfort. Methods: Forty patients who were scheduled for abdominal surgery were recruited as study participants and were assigned to the experimental or control group. For the experimental group, a forced air warmer was applied for 45-90 min (M=68.25, SD=15.50) before surgery. Body temperature and anxiety were measured before and after the experiment, but pain and thermal comfort were assessed only after the surgery. Hypotheses were tested using t-test and repeated measured ANOVA. Results: The experimental group showed higher body temperature than the control group from right before induction to two hours after surgery. Post-operative anxiety and pain in the experimental group were less than those of the control group. In addition, the score of thermal comfort was significantly higher in the experiment group. Conclusion: Pre-warming is effective in maintaining body temperature, lowering sensitivity to pain and anxiety, and promoting thermal comfort. Therefore, pre-warming can be recommended as a preoperative nursing intervention.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the relationship between aggression and internet over-use, depression-anxiety, self-esteem, all of which are known to be behavior and psychological characteristics linked to "at-risk" children for aggression. Methods: Korean-Child Behavior Check List (K-CBCL), Korean-Internet Addiction Self-Test Scale, and Self-Esteem Scale by Rosenberg (1965) were used as measurement tools with a sample of 743, 5th-6th grade students from 3 elementary schools in Jecheon city. Chi-square, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/Win 13.0 version were used to analyze the collected data. Results: Aggression for the elementary school students was positively correlated with internet over-use and depression-anxiety, whereas self-esteem was negatively correlated with aggression. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that 68.4% of the variance for aggression was significantly accounted for by internet over-use, depression-anxiety, and self-esteem. The most significant factor influencing aggression was depression-anxiety. Conclusion: These results suggest that earlier screening and intervention programs for depression-anxiety and internet over-use for elementary student will be helpful in preventing aggression.

Human can rapidly detect and deal with dangerous elements in their environment, and they generally manifest as attentional bias toward threat. Past studies have reported that this attentional bias is affected by anxiety level. Other studies, however, have argued that children and adolescents show attentional bias to threatening stimuli, regardless of their anxiety levels. Few studies directly have compared the two age groups in terms of attentional bias to threat, and furthermore, most previous studies have focused on attentional capture and the early stages of attention, without investigating further attentional holding by the stimuli. In this study, we investigated both attentional bias patterns (attentional capture and holding) with respect to negative emotional stimulus in neurotypical adults and adolescents. The effects of anxiety level on attentional bias were also examined. The results obtained for adult participants showed that abrupt onset of a distractor delayed attentional capture to the target, regardless of distractor type (angry or neutral faces), while it had no effect on attention holding. In adolescents, on the other hand, only the angry face distractor resulted in longer reaction time for detecting a target. Regarding anxiety, state anxiety revealed a significant positive correlation with attentional capture to a face distractor in adult participants but not in adolescents. Overall, this is the first study to investigate developmental tendencies of attentional bias to negative facial emotion in both adults and adolescents, providing novel evidence on attentional bias to threats at different ages. Our results can be applied to understanding the attentional mechanisms in people with emotion-related developmental disorders, as well as typical development.

This study assessed the effects of Qi therapy (QT) on premenstrual symptoms in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Forty-six college women were randomly allocated to receive QT (QT group: n=23) or complete diary of PMS (control group: n=22, 1 was dropped out). The experimental group receives 12 minutes Qi therapy for 5 times (7, 4, 1 day before and 7, 14 day after menstruation), and control group relaxed in the same procedure with experimental group. We measured pain, depression and anxiety level with visual analogue scale (VAS) to investigate participants responses. There were significant reductions on pain, depression and anxiety in QT group compared with control. These findings suggest that Qi therapy may have a role in helping the women with PMS to cope with their pain, depression and anxiety symptoms.
