The purpose of this study performed to confirm the effect of caffeine intake and stress on sleep quality of college students. Research respondents and data collection were conducted on 269 college students through Google questionnaires from February 14 to March 13, 2022, and the research design is a descriptive survey study. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 27.0 version as t-test and one way ANOVA. As a result of the study, it was found that most college students consume more caffeine than the average daily caffeine intake of Korean adults, although it is far below the recommended daily caffeine intake of Korean adults. The quality of sleep of college students is stress (r=.32, p=<).001) and caffeine intake (r=.204, p=.001). It was found that there was a positive correlation. Factors affecting sleep quality are body mass index (β=.1.19, p<.001) Stress (β=.3.37, p<.001), smoking (β=-.18, p=.001), caffeine intake (β=.15, p=.005) It was in order, and the explanatory power of the model was 24.8%.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to clinical competence of nursing students and to contribute to the education plan of the undergraduate course for the enhancement of clinical competence. The subjects of the study were 227 students in the 4th grade in the college of nursing. Clinical competence based on the general characteristics of the subject, critical thinking disposition, and core basic nursing skills achievement was conducted by an independent t-test, pearson's corelation coefficient, and linear regression model was used for statistical analysis to investigate factors influencing clinical competence. The results showed that intellectual fairness of critical thinking, achievement in middle and low level of core basic nursing skills had an effect on nursing students' clinical competence, and the higher score had the better clinical competence. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to improve intellectual fairness and core basic nursing achievement of nursing students and to prepare an educational program to develop the achievement of high level.

Critical thinking includes creative thinking, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness. Critical Thinking Disposition was significantly higher in experimental group that was enhanced by the scenario-based learning contents than that of the control group(t=4.102, p<.001). Problem Solving process was significantly higher in experimental group that was enhanced by the scenario-based learning contents than that of the control group(t=5.082, p<.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Clinical Competence(t=2.646, p=.009). But experimental group was significantly higher score than that of the control group score decreased. These results support that the implementation of a scenario-based learning contents need to be continued as an effective educational material but we need more research to establish how this can be effectively implemented in a students' practicum.

Purpose: To identify relationship between the life styles and optimistic bias about colorectal cancer (CRC) of adults. Methods: The participants were 338 adults who live in Seoul. The measurements were consisted optimistic bias about CRC and life styles. The life styles were included smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, and CRC screening. Results: 30.5% of the participants regarded their possibility of CRC to be less than others, while 69.5% viewed their likelihood of CRC as at least the same as others. The optimistic bias about CRC was associated with alcohol consumption and dietary habits, but not with smoking and CRC screening. Conclusion: It is difficult to relate optimistic bias about CRC with life style since CRC inspection and alcohol consumption are negatively related with optimistic bias while displaying a positive relation in other aspects. Since the relationship between optimistic bias and life style can change, promotion of a healthy life style as part of a health program could be influential in lessening CRC.

The purpose of this study is to apply flip learning to nursing students and to understand their teaching experience. That is, we analyze the meaning of experience by applying the phenomenological analysis method of Colaizzi, which is aimed to grasp the essence of each individual experience by studying the learning experiences of nursing students participating in the flip learning lesson. The analysis of Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis of the meaning of flip - learning lessons in nursing students resulted in seven themes and three central meanings. Based on this study, it is suggested that qualitative and quantitative research should be expanded to expand the flip learning method in the major subject of nursing science.

Background: Nursing college students are exposed to information about diseases or drugs, and are likely to have a distorted perception of drug knowledge or behavior. The study aimed to identify knowledge and attitude about drugs and current status of self-medication among nursing students. Methods: The subjects were 172 nursing students from a university in Busan. Data were collected with structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA using SPSS 23.0. Results: Nursing students had a high level of knowledge about drugs, but attitudes toward drugs were relatively low. 83.7% of patients had experience of self-medication. The methods to acquire information for self-administration were 29.9% by smart phone and 27.1% by internet. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) among self-medication drugs was the highest. The most common reason for self-medication was 'I thought it to be a mild disease', and the pharmacists were the most affected by choice of self-medication. The knowledge about drugs was statistically significant according to grade, school life satisfaction and subjective health status. The attitudes about medication were statistically significant according to grade and self-medication experience. Conclusion: Nursing college students need drug safety education to improve awareness and practice of correct drug use.
