This study investigated knowledge and attitudes of long-term care hospital nursing assistants such as nursing aides and direct care workers toward patient safety and their safety care activities. This was a descriptive study that attempted to enhance the competence of nursing assistants' patient safety management, and the data were used to develop a training program for nursing assistants. A total of 230 nursing assistants working at six hospitals whose wards were over 200 participated and were assessed with a rating 1 or 2 in 2013 in B city. Data were collected using questionnaires from March 2 to March 26 in 2017. The collected data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program using number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. In conclusion, the findings show that patient safety care activities were better performed by nursing aides than direct care workers. Higher education and a higher number of patient safety training programs and patient safety care activities were frequent. In addition, nursing assistants' knowledge of patient safety affected attitudes toward patient safety, and attitudes affected patient safety care activities. Therefore, an actual regular training program for patient safety should be executed over five times a year to improve patient safety perception. Furthermore, a hospital system including adequate working time needs to be improved. Based on the results of the study, patient safety in long-term care hospitals should be improved, and this study could be utilized as basic data to develop a training course for improvement of knowledge and attitudes of nursing assistants toward patient safety.

The aim of this study was to examine self-efficacy and work ethic on the moderating effect of retraining program for personal assistants to influence job environments and job satisfaction. The data were obtained from 330 personal assistants working at the Personal Assistance Association of Gyeonggi-do. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling with relative effect analysis. The result of this study showed that self-efficacy and work ethics should have an impact job environments and job environments should have a positive impact job satisfaction. The retraining program for personal assistants showed a moderating effect on the relationship between work ethics and job environments. However, the findings did not support the moderator effect on the retraining program for personal assistants in the relationship between self-efficacy and job environments. Using these findings, social work administration agency, in particular, can be guided in terms of human resource management under social work administration.

The auxiliary reinforcement method is normally applied to prevent a possible collapse of the tunnel face where the ground condition is not favorable or geologic information is not sufficient. Recently, several engineering approaches have been made to choose the effective reinforcement methods using expert system such as neural network and fuzzy theory field, among others. Even if the expert system has offered many decision aid tools to properly select the reinforcement method, the quantitative assessment items are not easy to estimate and this is why the data mining technique, widely used in the field of social science, medical treatment, banking and agriculture, is introduced in this study. Using decision tree together with PDA, the decision aids for reinforcement method based on field construction data are created to derive the field rules and future study will be concentrated on the application of the proposed methods in a variety of underground development cases.
