Purpose: The study aims to provide basic data for understanding the department of paramedicines' bachelor's degree courses to enable curriculum development and reorganization. Methods: The 2023 academic curricula for all eleven universities with active departments of paramedicine offering bachelor's degrees were investigated from April 25 to May 10, 2023. Results: The average courseload was 22.0 units. There were 7.73 major subjects, with 19.45 units on average. The culture subject was available in 7 colleges and was 2.55 units on the average 1.18 subject. Grouping the major subjects showed that 15.3% of subjects were related to advanced paramedicine (the most common course), followed by 11.8% related to research methodology and seminar, and 10.8% related to radiology and simulations. Related subjects in statistics, disaster, and forensic science were also offered. Conclusion: This study found that the curricula of the departments of paramedicine differed from that of the general bachelor's degree. Going forward, university leaders should organize the paramedicine curriculum considering the environmental changes in emergency medicine and the scalability of EMT-Paramedic jobs.

Purpose: The study attempted to improve the health promotion behavior of university students by identifying the factors that affect health promotion behavior and by checking depression, anxiety, and stress levels of university students after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We collected data using a structured questionnaire targeting 170 university students in C-province between December 1 and December 31, 2022. Results: Health promotion behavior had a significantly negative correlation with Depression (r=-.361, p<.001), Anxiety (r=-.191, p=.012), and Stress (r=-.301, p<.001), respectively. The influencing factors of health promotion behavior are gender (r=0.184, p<.001) and depression (r=-0.303, p<.001); the explanatory power is accounted for 15%. Conclusion: A practical method with counseling programs and mental health support services for early detection of risk groups by periodically monitoring the depression state of university students requires practicing health promotion behavior. Therefore, active support and attention should be provided to manage the mental health of university students.

Purpose: This study attempted to identify job stress, resilience, and job satisfaction among firefighters and to identify factors that influence job satisfaction. Methods: The study was conducted among 150 active firefighters who agreed to participate after reading an explanation of the purpose and importance of the study. They were sent a link to the self-report questionnaire URL via text message. Results: The mean scores for the variables were 2.26 for job stress, 3.55 for resilience, 3.30 for empathy, and 3.23 for job satisfaction. There was a significant difference in job satisfaction based on age. Job satisfaction was significantly positively correlated with empathy (r=248, p=.002) and resilience (r=463, p<.001) and significantly negatively correlated with job stress (r= -.740, p<.001). In other words, higher resilience and empathy were associated with higher job satisfaction, while higher job stress was associated with lower job satisfaction. And job stress was the influencing factor of job satisfaction, with an explanatory power of 55%. Conclusion: To improve firefighters' job satisfaction, management programs should be developed to enhance resilience and empathy and specific measures should be taken to reduce job stress.
