Purpose: This study was designed to identify effects of self-esteem and health status on adaptation of elderly residents in facilities. Methods: The sample consisted of 151 elderly residents. The data collected from January to April 2010 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. Using instruments were self-esteem scale (SES) (Rosenberg, 1965), Korean health status measure for the elderly (KoHSME) (Shin et al, 2002), and nursing home adaptation scale (Lee, 2007). Results: The mean scores of self-esteem ($2.90{\pm}0.71$), health status ($2.15{\pm}0.53$) and adaptation ($2.98{\pm}0.44$) of elderly residents in facilities were above the average. Self-esteem was significantly varied according to religion, economic status and living expenses. Health status was significantly different according to age, disease and motivation of getting into the facilities. Adaptation was significantly different according to religion, satisfaction of facilities and decision maker of getting into the facilities. Significant correlations were found between self-esteem, health status and adaptation. Self-esteem and health status were influencing factors of adaptation (22.6%). Conclusion: These findings indicate that perceived self-esteem and health status may be requirements for promoting adaptation of elderly residents in facilities. These results could be utilized in the development of supportive programs for elderly adaptation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that the self-efficacy, self-elasticity, and major satisfaction of students majoring in dental hygiene would have on the adaptation to the campus life. Methods: The total 396 students were surveyed who majored in dental hygiene in universities located at Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam from October 15, 2013 to October 30. The collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS 17.0 program, along with the One-Way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multi-regression analysis. Results: The 'aptitude and interest' were found to be greatest factor among the motive for application among the factors of self-efficacy, self-elasticity, and major satisfaction of students, depending on general characteristics. The results of correlation analysis showed that the self-elasticity had a correlation of 0.741 and the adaptation to the study had a correlation of 0.420 in the self-efficacy, while the individual emotional adaptation, adaptation to university environment, and adaptation to the study had a correlation as high as over 0.4 in the self-elasticity(p<0.05). In addition, it was found that the adaptation to the campus life increased proportionally to the self-elasticity and major satisfaction(p<0.05). Conclusions: To increase the campus life adaptation of students majoring in dental hygiene, it is considered necessary to explore the measures that can improve the self-elasticity and overall major satisfaction.

A self-adaptation with context-awareness is needed within network to meet costumed services according a user's changing constraints. But the existing network has many difficulty in adding new functions because of slow standardization of network and slow deployment of new services. To solve this problem, an active network can support the suitable environment to add new function such as self- adaptation. Therefore, this Paper suggests Self Adaptation Service(SAS) using agent-based active network and the constraint-based Service Creation Environment(SCE) to support self-adaptation with context-awareness. SAS provides benefits to support the context-aware service and the fast deployment of new services.

Given the evolving nature of the family unit, a large number of children are being left unsupervised after school. The purpose of this study is to understand the adaptation ability and emotional capacity of these children. To achieve this objective, we investigated the different characteristics of 708 middle-school students in Seoul, dividing them into two categories adult-care children, for whom adults provide care after school, and self-care children for whom no adult supervision was present. In particular, we examined children's adaptation to the school environment and possible self-consciousness difference between self-care and adult-care children, in consideration of their family characteristic; divorced, separated, widowed parent, remarried parents, ordinary families. The results showed that self-care children tend to have a higher rate of shame-proneness and guilt-proneness compared to adult-care children. Furthermore, self-care children exhibited lower school adaptation rate than adult-care children. There was no significant difference in schoolmate relationships between the two groups. In relation to specific family structures, children from reorganized families showed no significant differences in school adaptation and self-conscious, while self-care children from ordinary families revealed low school adaptation and high self-conscious characteristics. The results of this study are critical in the effective analysis and understanding of children's adaptive and emotional behaviors arising from changes in their family structure.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the mediating effect of self-identity on the relationship between aggression and school life adaptation of early adolescents. Methods: This study used the 5th-year data of the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) including 159 middle school 2nd students from single-parent families. The data was analyzed with open source statistics program R 3.5.0 to determine whether self-identity had a mediating effect on school life adaptation as an independent variable. Results: A moderate correlation was found among aggression, self-identity, and school life adaptation. As a result of the Sobel test, self-identity of early adolescents demonstrated a significant mediating effect on the relationship between aggression and school life adaptation. Conclusions: Given the significant mediating factor of self-identity, the strategies for early adolescents to boost their overall school life adaptation should be considered through intervention programs that help to enhance their self-identity.
