Purpose: This study was aimed at identifying levels of compliance of patients with metabolic syndrome and the factors influencing their compliance. Methods: Data were collected from patients with metabolic syndrome at K medical center in 2009 using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The mean score of health behavior compliance was 2.82 (range: 1.43~3.87). Of the factors significantly influencing compliance with health behavior, health perception, exercise efficacy, age and perceived severity explained the 42.8% variance of compliance with health behavior.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the influencing factors on alienation among high school students. Method: Data was collected by questionnaires from 550 students of academic and vocational high schools in G city. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The scores of alienation among students in financially lower middle class and lower class were higher than those of the upper middle class students, resulting in significant differences(F=6.87, p=.00). A sense of alienation showed a significantly negative correlation with the scores of responding parenting style(r=-.32), family cohesion(r=-.33), school attachment(r=-.51), academic performance(r=-.34), peer relationships(r=-.38), self-control(r=-.43), and social skills(r=-.33). The most powerful predictor of alienation among high school students was school attachment and the variance explained was 26%. A combination of school attachment, self control, peer relationships, family cohesion, demanding parenting style, and academic performance account for 40% of the variance in alienation among high school students. Conclusion: This study suggests that school attachment, self control, peer relationships, family cohesion, demanding parenting style, and academic performance are significant influencing factors on alienation in high school students. Therefore, nursing strategy is needed to manage these revealed factors.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the influencing factors in preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers. Methods: Participants were 151 teachers working at 3 elementary schools in Kimhae City, 3 in Changwon City and 2 in Miryang City. Data were collected with structured questionnaires from May. 8. to Jun. 1. in 2018. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers were significantly positive correlated with knowledge(r=.275, p=.001), attitude(r=.493, p<.001) and self-efficacy(r=.280, p=.001). Moreover, The significant factors of the preventive behavior of tuberculosis were attitude(${\beta}=.341$, p<.001), gender(${\beta}=.407$, p<.001), smoking status(${\beta}=.210$, p=.004), self-efficacy(${\beta}=.187$, p=.005) and knowledge(${\beta}=.145$, p=.026). Conclusions: In this study, in order to promote the preventive behavior of tuberculosis among elementary school teachers, it is necessary to find ways to increase knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of tuberculosis, which are significant influencing factors. In addition it would be possible to develop more effective and efficient nursing intervention program if the individual characteristics of the subjects such as gender and smoking status are considered.

Purpose: This study was conducted to survey the cancer screening status of Korean elderly and to analyze factors influencing cancer rescreening intention. Methods: Participants were 262 elderly aged 65 or older who visited medical examination center at D University hospital located in D city. Data were collected from June 1 to July 31, 2012 using a structured questionnaire which included health behavior and cancer screening related characteristics, theory of planned behavior variables, EQ-5D, and cancer screening satisfaction. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Factors influencing elderly's cancer rescreening intention were 'satisfaction about the cancer screening', 'attitude toward cancer rescreening behavior', 'subjective norm toward cancer rescreening behavior', and 'previous experience with cancer screening in the past 2 years'. Cancer rescreening intention was higher in participants with satisfied experience of cancer screening, more positive in attitude and higher in subjective norm toward cancer rescreening. Cancer rescreening intention was lower when participants were not screened for cancer in the past 2 years. Conclusion: The study results indicate that customized interventions based on influential factors such as subjective norm, attitude toward cancer screening, and cancer screening satisfaction are necessary in order to promote the consistent cancer screening of Korean elderly.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing emergency department (ED) nurses' turnover intention. Methods: The study was conducted with 241 nurses from ED of 20 general hospitals in Busan. The survey data were collected from May 1 to July 31, 2010 and were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS Win 17.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in turnover intention depending on age, regular change in department, and nursing experiences. A significant positive correlation was found between job stress and turnover intention and a significant negative correlation between organizational commitment and turnover intention. The significant factors influencing turnover intention were regular change in department, job stress, and organizational commitment, which explained about 13.7% of the variance. Conclusion: Considering this results, nursing managers should analyze these main factors which affect turnover intention and create ways to decrease turnover intentions, and thus decrease high turnover intention.
