Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the disease adaptation and related factors for the pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: Participants in this study were 75 diabetic children or adolescent whose age were 10 to 18 years old visited the out-patient clinic in one general hospital located in Seoul. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires. Research tools measuring resilience, family support, psychological adaptation, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) protein were used. Results: Resilience showed significant differences according to the age, gender, academic achievement, and hospitalization experience of the children. Family support was significantly different according to the age, religion, academic achievement, fathers' education level, and hospitalization experience of the children. Psychological adaptation to diabetes showed significant differences according to academic achievement. HbA1c was shown to be significant difference according to fathers' education level and hospitalization experience of the children. Positive correlations were identified among resilience, family support, and psychosocial adaptation, while negative correlations were found between HbA1c and all others including resilience, family support, and psychosocial adaptation. Conclusion: This study suggests that the educational programs as nursing intervention needs to be developed to enhance the resilience and family support for the pediatric diabetic patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify resiliency factor, to test causal relationship and effect of resiliency factors on adaptation in families of children with cancer. A conceptual framework was constructed based on McCubbin's resiliency model. Hypotheses were tested with empirical data. Method: Data were collected using self-report questionnaire from 232 families of children with cancer. The collected data were analyzed using the SAS program and LISREL program for covariance structural analysis. Result: Family hardiness and problem-solving coping had significant direct effects on adaptation in families of children with cancer. Social support had significant indirect and total effect on adaptation. Family Schema had significant direct effect on family hardiness and problem-solving coping. Problem-solving communication had a significant direct effect on family hardiness and an indirect effect on family functioning and problem-solving coping. Among the resiliency factors, family hardiness had the greatest effect on adaptation in family of children with cancer. Conclusion: The findings suggest that nursing interventions to enhance family hardiness, problem-solving coping and social support would result in an increase in adaptation in families of children with cancer. An integrated intervention that emphasizes and promotes resiliency factors should be developed and established for families of children with cancer.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the role adaptation process experienced by executive directors of nursing department of general hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from 9 executive nursing directors though in-depth interviews about their experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director?" Qualitative data from field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss & Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The core category of experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director was identified as "entering the center with pushing and pulling". The participants used five interactional strategies; 'maintaining modest attitudes', 'inquiring about trends of popular feeling', 'making each person a faithful follower', 'collecting & displaying power', 'leading with initiative'. The consequences of role adaptation in executive nursing directors were 'coexisting with others', 'immersing in one's new role with dedication', and 'having capacity for high tolerance'. The types of role adaptations of executive directors in nursing department were friendly type, propulsive type, accommodating type. Conclusion: The results of this study produced useful information for executive nursing directors on designing a self-managerial program to enhance role adaptation based on interactional strategies.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the adaptation to college life of dental hygiene students. Methods: A total of 300 students in the 3-year course, and 200 students in the 4-year course at the Department of Dental Hygiene, were selected. A self-reported questionnaire was used between 27th June and 31st August 2017. From this, 439 questionnaires were collected and analyzed. Results: 1. The overall degree of adaptation to college life, according to varied general characteristics of the subject students, appeared to show that male students had a higher degree of adaptation than female students. It also appeared to be higher in students that had a higher level of academic accomplishment(<0.001). 2. The average score of the degree of adaptation to college life was 2.57 points(full score of 4.00 points). Social adaption had the highest score of 2.92 points, while academic adaptation had the lowest score of 2.37 points. Regarding the subordinate domains of adaptation to college life, the average score of attachment adaptation of students in the 3-year course of the Department of Dental Hygiene(2.69 points) appeared to be higher than that of students in the 4-year course(2.52 points). The difference between these scores was statistically significant(p=0.001). 3. The effects of varied academic systems upon the degree of adaptation to college life were also analyzed. Emotional and attachment adaptation to college, as well as the academic accomplishment of students in the 3-year course, was distributed over a range of 3.0~3.5. This was significantly different compared to students in the 4-year course(p<0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary to develop stepwise and continuous educational programs to enable better college life adaptation for students in the Department of Dental Hygiene.

본 연구는 중소기업의 구성원들을 대상으로 하여 조직적응성에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하였다. 지금까지 조직적응성에 관한 연구는 대기업이나 공기관을 대상으로 한 연구가 대부분으로 중소기업 구성원들을 대상으로 한 연구는 매우 미흡하였다. 구성원의 조직적응성에 미치는 영향요인은 개인특성과 직무환경 요인으로 설정하였다. 개인특성에서는 하위변수를 자기효능감, 낙관성, 회복 탄력성으로 설정하였고, 직무환경 요인에서는 조직공정성과 조직문화로 설정하였다. 표본 자료는 설문조사 방법을 이용하여 방문, 전화 통화, 전자메일, 팩스 등의 방법으로 진행하였다. 분석에 활용된 자료는 98부였다. 통계분석은 회귀분석 기법을 이용하였다. 분석 결과 개인특성요인의 자기효능감, 낙관성, 회복탄력성은 구성원의 조직적응성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 변수로 분석되었고, 직무환경의 조직공정성은 조직적응성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않는 변수로 분석되었다. 그러나 직무환경의 조직문화는 조직적응성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 변수로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과는 중소기업의 구성원들에게는 임금수준, 업무량, 보상, 의견반영 등의 공정한 적용은 구성원들의 조직적응에 영향을 미치지 않고 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 선행연구에서는 조직적응성을 대기업 중심으로 연구를 수행하였는데, 본 연구에서는 중소기업 구성원들을 대상으로 분석하였다는 점에서 실무적인 시사점을 제시할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 TCP 변종들을 바탕으로 종단 간의 경로 상에서 나타나는 네트워크 특성에 가장 적응이 잘 이루어진 변종의 알고리즘을 선택하는 TCP의 자동 적응 프레임워크를 제안한다. 프로토콜 선택의 문제가 중요한 이유는 모든 네트워크 환경에 적합한 단일 버전의 프로토콜이 존재하지 않기 때문이며, 이것은 각 네트워크 마다 TCP의 성능 저하 원인이 서로 다르기 때문이다. 이러한 판단 및 프로토콜의 적응이 가능하게 하기 위해 본 논문에서는 기존에 연구되어 왔던 여러 가지 네트워크 측정 기법들과 TCP 변종들을 하나로 합치는 과정을 거쳤으며, 여기에 각 TCP들의 성능 정보들을 제공하여 세션 중간에 적절한 전송 알고리즘을 선택하여 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 우리는 종단 간으로 여러 환경 하에서 높은 성능을 이끌어낼 수 있다는 것을 보였으며, 제안한 방법이 지금까지 연구되어온 여러 TCP 변종들이 실제로 적절하게 활용될 수 있도록 하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 판단한다.

Purpose: The study was done to explore meanings and essence of the experience in South Korea of men defectors from North Korea. Methods: Data were collected from March, 2011 to May, 2012, through in-depth interviews with ten men defectors. Data analysis was conducted using the process of hermeneutic phenomenological reflection. Results: Eight essential themes were extracted; 'buoyant expectation for a new life', 'feeling guilty about family left behind in North Korea', 'inability to become acclimatized due to communication difficulties', 'inability to socialize with South Koreans due to different lifestyles', 'finding strength through trustworthy acquaintances', 'continuing reconciliation with oneself while trying to assimilate into South Korean culture', 'self-realization of one's original self', and 'continuing to feel out the possibility of a future in South Korea'. Conclusion: The findings indicate that North Korean men who defect to South Korea shape their identity through three phases: forming self-image during escape from North Korea, trying to become accustomed to South Korean society, and finding their own identity by self-realization of their original self. Eventually, the whole process enables them to recover their identity, to feel a sense of belonging, and to discover possibilities for a better future.

Purpose: This study was done to develop a predictive model for quality of life of elderly residents in long-term care facilities (LTCF). The study was based on Brofenbrenner's ecological system theory and a literature review. Methods: Data were collected using a convenience sample of 205 elderly residents in 2 nursing homes located in D city and 1 nursing home located in K province. The exogenous variables were individual factors, family support, and facility environmental factors. The endogenous variables were self-esteem, accommodation adaptation and quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF. Collected data were analyzed through structural equation modeling using AMOS 20.0. Results: Eleven of the twelve hypotheses were supported, but the hypothesis that facility environment factors effect self-esteem was not supported. Quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF was explained first by facility environmental factors, followed by self-esteem, individual factors, accommodation adaptation, and family support with an explanatory power of 83.0%. Conclusion: To improve the quality of life of elderly residents in LTCF, the service and environment preparation provided by facilities is important, and it is necessary to provide emotional counseling to improve the self-esteem of these elders.

이 연구의 목적은 장애아모의 스트레스에 대한 대처전략과 적응 간의 관계를 정립하는 것이었다. 특히 장애아모의 적응에 영향을 미친다고 알려진 장애아모와 장애자녀의 개인 및 환경적 특성의 영향력을 통제한 상태에서 대처전략의 적응에의 순수한 독립적 영향력을 분석하는 데에 연구의 초점을 두었다. 서울, 창원, 대구의 장애인복지관에 등록된 장애아동의 어머니 92명을 대상으로 한 설문조사 분석결과, 대처전략과 장애아모의 적응간의 유의미한 관계가 입증되었다. Stepwise multiple regression 분석을 통해 밝혀진 장애아모의 적응 예측에 기여한 대처전략은 직면전략, 책임수용 전략 그리고 긍정적 재평가전략이었다. 직면과 책임수용전략은 장애아모의 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미친 반면, 긍정적 재평가전략은 장애아모의 적응에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 이들 직면, 책임수용, 긍정적 재평가전략의 적응에의 효과는 다른 예측변수의 영향력을 보수적인 방법으로 통제한 상태에서도 통계학적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 장애아모를 위한 사회사업개입방안이 논의되었다.

Purpose: This study was to explore association of maternal role adjustments, parenting stresses, and demographic factors to breastfeeding adaptation. Methods: A correlational survey design was used to recruit 183 mothers who breastfeed or breastfed their babies. Participants' visited outpatient departments and were admitted to pediatric ward at 2 hospitals in metropolitan city of Korea. Inclusion criteria for subjects were mothers whose babies were from 1 month to 24 months old. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire for mothers' and babies' demographic variables, maternal role adjustments, parenting stresses, and maternal breastfeeding adaptations. Results: Higher levels of maternal adaptations and low levels of parenting stresses were associated with greater maternal breastfeeding adaptations. Types of feeding during hospital stays and baby's health status at birth were also associated with maternal breastfeeding adaptation. Conclusion: Results showed that a higher level of mothers' adjustment to breastfeeding; indicated lesser parenting stresses with higher levels of maternal adaptation. Nursing interventions for breastfeeding should be applied for appropriate breastfeeding adaptation during mothers' hospital stay. As baby's poor health status at birth medical team should provide a proper breastfeeding education.
