The participants were 198 students in a university in D city. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. A positive correlation was observed between all the variables. The factor that significantly affected academic achievement was academic self-efficacy, which explained 7.5% of the variances. The subdomain of the academic failure tolerance affecting academic achievement was found to be the behavior, which explained 8.0% of variances. The subdomains of academic self-efficacy affecting the academic achievement was the self-regulatory efficacy. This factor explained 15.4% of the variances. This study suggests that it is necessary to enhance the academic failure tolerance and academic self-efficacy for the learning achievement and working performance of nursing students.

The purpose of this study is to define the paths through which academic burnout and self-efficacy of middle school students affect school adjustment, verify the path model of each factor, and examine the mediator effects of self-efficacy. In line with this objective, the study conducted a survey on 713 third year students of 3 different middle schools in city G. The first finding of this study confirmed that the path coefficient and suitablility index were significant, indicating that the path model was also significant. Second, academic burnout had direct negative effects on self-efficacy and school adjustment, while self-efficacy has positive effects on school adjustment. Third, self-efficacy was confirmed to have meaningful mediator effects on academic burnout and school adjustment. Based on these findings, academic burnout caused by excessive demand for academic success on korean students has negative effects on school adjustment, but if self-efficacy is well developed as an individual factor, school maladjustment can be reduced. Thus this study confirmed that psychological factors, such as self-efficacy, are necessary in school adjustment. Future studies were suggested on the basis of this study's findings.
