This study aims to identify and understand nurses' experience on patient safety accidents in general hospital. The qualitative research method was used to analyze the daily life of seven nurses who had experienced nursing safety accidents directly or indirectly in general hospitals. The nurses' experiences were divided into 7 categories and 24 subordinate properties and 7 categories were "unexpected experience", "missing caused by negligence", "facing the anxiety", "difficult of loneliness", "resignation from the hospital", "entering into conflict" and "being practiced a nurse". The results of this study will contribute to the establishment of policies for safety accidents in hospitals and also it will help to make a practical improvement plan to prevent the patient safety accident at the clinical site.

소방공무원은 가장 위험한 직업 중 하나이다. 하지만 기존의 논문들에서는 위험유발 요인에 대해 직접적인 사고원인으로서만 접근하는 경향이 있었으며, 그 분류에 있어서도 논리적이지 못하였다. 본고에서는 소방공무원을 둘러싼 위험 유발 요인들은 제도적 요인, 문화적 요인, 그리고 개인적 경험으로 분류하였다. 제도적 요인으로는 교육에 관한 부분과 작업환경에 관한 부분으로, 문화적 요인들은 성과지향적 문화와 배려지향적 문화로, 개인적 사고경험은 자신과 동료의 사고를 포함한 조직구성원의 사고경험과 기타 일반 희생자의 사고경험으로 나뉜다. 근무환경의 적정성과 관련해서는 특히 열악하게 인식하고 있었다.

The present study explored the major behavior patterns of drivers and the environmental settings having an effect on traffic accident using the data collected from drivers and traffic police. Drivers and traffic police read questionnaire which contain the passible causes of traffic accident and selected the major causes on the basis of their latest accidents. Unexperienced drivers were forced to answer the questionnaire by referring to their friends and neighborhoods. The results showed that the major causes of traffic accident were connected with the driver's factors. The most important cause of traffic accidents was inattention/incautiousness. The next were lack of competence, skill, and experience. One interesting fact was that drivers and traffic police attributed differently. Drivers pointed out the lack of ability coping with an emergency and the insufficient skill of defensive driving as causes of the traffic accident. On the other hand, traffic polices indicated the intentional violations such as the disregard for traffic rules, trespassing on the central line of the roadway, speed limit violation, and breaking into the vehicle's line. The implications for appling the this results to driver education institutions were discussed.

Meta-thinking is a kind of thinking beyond certain scope or border, which sees objects as an expanded definition exceeding its essence. It can be experienced when people come into contact with new things. As for digital media, experience acquired from computer screen makes users' thinking be changed continuously and help their thinking to be expanded. Today, studies on development of digital technology regarding virtual reality (VR) and experience obtained from digital media become a topic of conversation, however, this experience depends on the sense of sight through screen. Actually, transparent experiences in digital media are not the same with those in real world, therefore, this study investigated experience expansion through interaction with real things which are much closer to daily lives than virtual experiences. It can be found in media art which induces positive participation of audiences and shows them a new meaning through delight and amusement experienced in the process of interaction. Visual expression in digital media should be more than spectacular which is only full of excessive images. In addition, interface should not be remained as an expression from technological attempts, instead, it is necessary to find humans aspiration with meta-thinking which accepts things expansively and visualize their experiences.

Speeding and drunken driving make drivers fail to detect hazards and cope with various driving situations. These behaviors also raise the possibility of being involved in traffic accidents and tend to increase the number of fatalities. The authors compared the driving behavior determinants of a rockless drivers group, consisting of individuals who have committed traffic accidents or offended regulations through drunken driving, with a normal drivers group. In the results, the reckless drivers group showed high scores of 'speeding' and 'drunken driving', and they also stated that they had more experiences of speeding, drunken driving and traffic accidents. In the path analysis study, it was found that the impacts of the rockless drivers group's 'risk sensitivity' and 'situational adaptability' on traffic accidents were stronger than those of normal drivers. This means 'risk sensitivity' and 'situational adaptability' can explain the origins of traffic accidents better in the reckless drivers group than accidents of the normal drivers group.

In the study of traffic safety, it is utmost important to obtain more reliable estimates of the expected crashes for a site (or a segment). The observed crashes have been mainly used as the estimate of the expected crashes in Korea, while the empirical Bayes (EB) estimates based on the Poisson-gamma mixture model have been used in the USA and several European countries. Although numerous studies have used the EB method for estimating the expected crashes and/or the effectiveness of the safety countermeasures, no past studies examine the difference in the estimation errors between the two estimates. Thus, this study compares the estimation errors of the two estimates using a Monte Carlo simulation study. By analyzing the crash dataset at 3,000,000 simulated sites, this study reveals that the estimation errors of the EB estimates are always less than those of the observed crashes. Hence, it is imperative to incorporate the EB method into the traffic safety research guideline in Korea. However, the results show that the differences in the estimation errors between the two estimates decrease as the uncertainty of the prior distribution increases. Consequently, it is recommended that the EB method be used with reliable hyper-parameter estimates after conducting a comprehensive examination on the estimated negative binomial model.

창의성 연구는 개인적, 사회적 맥락에서 고려해야 할 다양한 시사점을 가진 분야이다. 하지만 지금까지 창의성 연구는 창의성 자체에 대한 개념이 명확하지 않을 뿐 아니라, 창의성을 태어날 때부터 타고나는 고유한 영역이라는 인식 때문에 그에 대한 연구가 비교적 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 창의성이 새로운 정보를 기존 지식과 결합하여 이를 문제상황에서 적용하여 유용함을 입증하는 행위라는 전제하에, 각 개인에게 내재된 창의적 사고 능력이 특정한 지시 혹은 학습방법(소리내어 가르치기)의 경험을 통해 발현될 수 있으리라 보았다. 창의성의 핵심요소인 통합적, 분석적, 실용적 사고능력을 측정하여 창의성이 높고, 낮은 집단을 구분하고, 이를 근거로 게임 규칙을 소리내어 가르치기 경험을 한 집단과 통제집단(단순암기)으로 각각 구분하여 게임에서 승리, 즉 창의적 문제해결이 소리내어 가르치기 방법을 통해 실현될 수 있음을 알아보고자 했다. 창의적 사고능력은 소리내어 가르치기를 경험한 집단에서 유의미하게 발현되었다. 또한 소리내어 가르치는 경험을 한 실험참가자들은 프로토콜 분석에서 보다 정교화된 게임의 규칙을 생성하였으며, 게임의 규칙을 정확히 알고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 가르치는 경험을 통해 새로운 정보를 보다 잘 조직화하고, 이를 실제 문제상황에 적용한 것으로 해석되었다.

To evaluate highway safety countermeasures or identify high risk sites, the expected crashes for a site (or segment) have been estimated using the panel crash data. Past studies show that two different methods can be employed to estimate the expected crashes: observed crash based method and empirical Bayes (EB) method. This study conducts a simulation study to analyze how the estimation errors of the two estimates are affected by the different structures of the panel crash data and the presence of the change in safety over time. The results disclose that the estimation errors of the observed crash based estimates (i.e. the mean observed crash and comparative parallel estimate) are always greater than those of the EB estimates regardless of the structure of the panel crash data and the presence of the change in safety over time. Thus, it is highly recommended that the EB method be used in the study of traffic safety to obtain more reliable estimates for the expected crashes. In addition, this study corroborates that the estimation errors of the two estimates decrease as the analysis periods increase if safety does not change over time. Hence, it is also recommended that the 1-year analysis period used for identifying high risk sites in Korea be extended to produce more efficient estimates of the time-constant expected crashes.

A firefighter is one of the most dangerous jobs. But in many precent studies, risk induction factors have been understood as direct accident causes and classification of the factors are not logical. This studies reviews risk induction risks and categorized them into institutional, cultural and personal experience factors. institutional factors, Institutional factors are composed of educational and working conditions. Cultural factors are composed of performance oriented and considerate parts. Personal experiences are divided into two parts: experiences about organizational members and about ordinary citizens. Survey showed that working conditions were recognized so poorly by firefighters.

Counterfactual thinking refers to a mental simulation of "What might have been," a cognitive process of once-possible-but-unrealized alternatives to facts, Counterfactuals have been reported to produce intensive emotional experiences, specifically regret. The present research reviewed and tried to integrate the previous inconsistent findings in the view of functional value of counterfactuals. Social psychologists proposed that counterfactuals could be categorized into upward(thoughts of better alternatives) versus downward(thoughts of worse alternatives) and additive versus subtractive. Counterfactual processes are more likely to occur following negative or unexpected rather than positive expected outcome, consistent with the minimization-mobilization hypothesis. Downward counterfactuals serve affective functions(to make one feel better) through contrast effects. Upward counterfactuals serve preparative functions(to prepare and improve performance in the future similar tasks) through causal inferences. Also, upward counterfactuals have been demonstrated in several studies to be followed by success-related attitudes and intentions and actual performance improvement. Furthermore, in terms of regulatory focus, downward counterfactuals were related with the prevention focus(to maintain the current status and upward counterfactuals were related with the promotion focus(to improve the current status). Those findings from numerous studies support that counterfactuals are functional to serve human ongoing motives. In conclusion, applicability and limitation of functional value of counterfactual thinking were discussed.
