This qualitative study investigated how a music therapy program was experienced by juvenile offenders of school violence who were under a conditional suspension of indictment. Six adolescents participated in 12 consecutive weeks of group music therapy sessions, and were interviewed individually based on open-ended questions addressing key constructs of self-determination theory, which are autonomy, competence and relatedness. Using this framework, data was deductively analyzed using a modified grounded theory. The analysis also investigated how such impact of music therapy transferred or expanded to their everyday life. The analysis revealed that the properties of autonomy included making choices of songs and instruments, deciding how to play, and expressing opinions about music. Competence was associated with developing skills on musical instruments, creating own music, concentrating on their own project, and demonstrating their abilities. Relatedness were related to collaborating, exchanging opinions, and playing a part in musical projects. In addition, it was found that they also experienced shifts in consciousness and behavior, expanded self-awareness, and mutual exchange and group support. Lastly, it was revealed that the positive emotional and behavioral changes they experienced in music also appeared in their school life.

The analysis was conducted using a repeated mesures ANOVA to identify changes in problem behaviors. Results : The problem behavior of preschoolers in middle and high schools decreased after the post-evaluation compared to the pre-evaluation, and the effect of treatment was maintained afterward. Elementary school students displayed fewer problem behaviors after the post-evaluation than in the pre-evaluation, and follow-up more. Conclusions : This study confirms that the effects of therapy are maintained for a long period of time.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate smartphone addition and sensory processing character depend on gender for occupational therapy (OT) students, and to identify the correlation between smartphone addiction and sensory processing feature. Methods : Participants of this study were 168 (70 male/90 female) students majoring occupational therapy. Measurements in this study were a questionnaire about general information of subject, smartphone addiction scale, and adult/adolescent sensory profile. Data collection period was from November 2017 to March 2018. Methods for the data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test and Pearson correlation of SPSS 22.0. Results : In term of the purpose of using smartphone, majority response was communication and gaming ranked in next. There were difference between male and female in the total smartphone addition, cyberspace-oriented relationship, withdrawal and tolerance. The result showed that all sensory processing are related with total smartphone addition (r = .236 ~ .603) for man. And for women, total smartphone addition is little related with the taste/smell processing (r= .290), visual processing (r= .324), touch processing (r= .214), low registration (r= .214), sensory sensitivity (r= .243), and sensory avoiding (r= .217). Conclusion : This study found that there is difference between male and female in terms of relation between smartphone addition and sensory processing feature according for occupational therapy students.

Objectives：The study was performed to compare the executive function(EF；Inhibition, Planning and Working memory) between ADHD and normal group, and to controll the effect of age and intelligence. And the function of inhibition was assessed in two dimensions(cognitive inhibition and motor inhibition). Methods：K-WISC III and EF test(Go-No-Go, Stroop test, Tower of Hanoi, Digit) was administered to both 25 children with ADHD and 25 normal control participants, all aged between 7 and 12. The results were analyzed after statistically controlled for age and intelligence. Results：Children in the ADHD group had significantly lower IQ score than those in the control group and consistent relations were found between the child's age and the study's major variables. Once IQ and age were controlled, results indicated that children with ADHD had deficit only cognitive inhibition and motor inhibition. There was no significant difference in planning and working memory. Conclusion：These results suggested that specific deficits in inhibition control rather than general EF deficits are associated with ADHD. So inhibition is the core problem of children with ADHD. Thus, the therapeutic approach focused on cognitive inhibition and motor inhibition is required.

This study investigated the effects of a client-centered vocational rehabilitation program on vocational basic ability, vocational performance ability, and vocational adjustment ability to improve the job competency of adolescents with cerebral palsy. This study was conducted using a multiple intermittent baseline design between the behaviors of individual research subjects from March 19 to August 27, 2018. The subjects for this study were three adolescents with cerebral palsy who were attending special schools in B County in A Province. The intervention program was performed for 40 minutes every Monday and Wednesday, and the vocational basic ability, vocational performance ability, and vocational adjustment ability of the subjects were measured after each session based on the intervention step. As a result, the client-centered vocational rehabilitation program improved vocational basic ability, vocational performance ability, and vocational adjustment ability required by the targeted job for each subject. Therefore, the client-centered vocational rehabilitation program of this study is proposed as a vocational rehabilitation program because it has had a positive effect on job competency by improving the vocational basic ability, vocational performance ability, and vocational adjustment ability of adolescents with cerebral palsy.

The short-term music therapy was performed for adolescents with conduct disorder admitted to Seoul National Mental Hospital for 3 months from Jun to September, 1998. This case study focused mainly on two female patients who participated regularly in the group music therapy. The music therapy process was divided into three phases；beginning, opening up, and closing. This music therapy session consisted of three parts；hello song as beginning, various musical activities, and sound & movement activity as closing. Free musical improvisation, song discussion, musical monodrama, and sound & movement were the mainly applied techniques. Free improvisation was used to enhance, motivate, identify and contain the adolescents' feelings and ideas. Song discussion was used to convey their thoughts and to support each other. Musical monodrama was used to make them have insights into interpersonal relationships. Sound & movement was used to enhance spontaneity. It made them explore their body and voice as an expressive medium. Throughout three months period of music therapy, patient A's communication skill, socialization, and behavior areas were assessed with improvement. She could use music as a symbolic form and was able to share her feelings about herself and her family. Patient B's self-expression and cognitive areas were assessed with improvement. She became more spontaneous and could verbalize her emotions during the group session.

Objective : This study aimed to assess the applicability of the Yonsei Lifestyle Profile (YLP), initially developed for adults, for adolescents and verify its reliability and validity. Methods : This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the YLP among 436 middle and high school students in South Korea. The internal consistency of this scale was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha and Spearman-Brown's coefficient. Concurrent validity was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient with the Korean Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Korean version of the Children and Adolescents Participation Scale, and the Nutrition Quotient for Adolescents. Results : The overall internal consistency of the YLP items demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach's α of .811 and Spearman-Brown's coefficient of .779. Significant positive correlations were observed for physical activity (r=.555, p<.01), activity participation (r=.177, p<.01), and dietary habits (r=.633, p<.05), indicating consistent correlations with the related scales. Conclusion : This study analyzed the YLP targeting adolescents and confirmed its high reliability and significant validity in the areas of physical activity, activity participation, and dietary habits. These findings suggest that the YLP can be utilized as a reliable tool for evaluating healthy lifestyles among adolescents.
