The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of cognition promoting program on cognitive function, depression, and quality of life in elders. The participants were 1,251 who were above 60 years olds(averaging 76.9 years of age) without dementia. During 12 weeks they participated the cognitive health promoting program twice a week. The program consisted of ReBrain cognitive education and game program. Then the effects of treatment were compared using a paired t-test between pre-test and post-test. Cognitive function(t=-13.903, p<.001), depression(t=9.544, p<.001), and quality of life(t=-4.613, p<.001) in elderly were significantly different after 12-week. These findings indicate that an 12-week cognitive health promoting program could be an effective nursing intervention program to improve cognitive function, to decrease depression, and to promote quality of life in elders.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the psychiatric nursing simulation practicum, which was developed for the therapeutic relationship forming and communication, psychiatric nursing assessment training utilizing simulated patients, on self-directed learning, learning self-efficacy and learning satisfaction. As a one group pre-test and post-test design, this test conducted 8 hours of intervention on 119 senior nursing students as study subjects. As a result, self-directed learning and learning self-efficacy were seen to be significantly improved after the program compared to before the program, and these variables displayed a moderate-level static correlation with learning satisfaction. These results can be deemed representative of the fact that, concerning psychiatric nursing practicum, a simulation teaching using simulated patients is effective. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving field-centered psychiatric nursing practicum and the quality of psychiatric clinical work.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of using cellular phone dependence of middle school student based on Agnew's GST. A total of 2,151 questionnaires were used to Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS)2010. Analytical methods of Structural Equation Model(SEM) was verified by AMOS 21.0 Ver. The results were the following. Firstly, The fit of definitive model was $X^2=1398.997$, df=144, GFI=.937, NNFI(TLI)=.902, CFI=.918, RMSEA=.061. Model was proper to verify the use of cellular phone dependence of adolescents. Secondly, The strain factors of middle school student presented statistically significant positive effect to make negative life satisfaction. Finally, The negative life satisfaction of middle school student presented statistically significant positive effect to the use of cellular phone dependence of middle school student. We need to provide as basic data for developing cellular phone dependence intervention programs.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of line dance programme on the balance ability during walking to reveal the exercise intervention for fall prevention. A 12-week line dance programme was applied to 18 elderly females who aged more than 65 years in the community. Balance ability during walking was evaluated by the range of center of pressure(cop), the velocity of cop, and free torque that calculated on the basis of ground reaction force data. The range and velocity of cop in the anterio-posterior were significantly reduced after performing(p<.01, p<.05, respectively), but change in those of cop in the medio-lateral and free torque were not found. It was demonstrates that 12-week line dance programme allows more effective in anterio-posterior stability of walking. It was suggested that the effect of fall prevention exercise should be studied more associate with fall frequency as future study.

Data were collected from June 15 to July 15, 2010 through interviews using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression using the SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The level of social support and anger was 3.73 and 2.72 out of 5, respectively. Anger was statistically significantly different according to type of residence (B=0.21, t=2.42, ${\rho}$=.017), psychiatric medication (B=0.66, t=4.93, ${\rho}$ <.001), physical medication (B=0.41, t=4.22, ${\rho}$ <.001), and evaluation support (B=-0.15, t=-3.00, ${\rho}$=.004), and these accounted 33.0% of anger.

Due to the increasing global prevalence of dementia, such as Alzheimer disease, there is a growing public health concern about its prevention. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review for a narrative synthesis and critical appraisal of current published research related to dementia prevention programs among Koreans. To conduct a systematic review, the data bases KoreaMed, Riss4u and 9 Nursing Journals were searched using the key words dementia prevention and cognitive function. Articles published between 2000~2014 and related to dementia prevention programs were reviewed. Two hundred-fifty references were searched but only 29 studies met our inclusion criteria to review. We found that dementia prevention programs focused on: exercise, 11 studies (37.9%); multi-therapy, 9 studies (31.0%); and cognitive enhancement activity, 4 studies(13.8%). The majority of studies (n=19, 65.5%) included adults over 65 while two studies targeted adults over 75. The current literature indicates that future research is needed to develop and provide appropriate and effective dementia prevention programs among Korean older adults.
