This study investigated the relationship between social support and the well-being among the unemployed. Special attention was given to the empirical tests of the main effect and the stress buffering effect of social support on the psychosocial well-being and the practical implications in developing service strategies for the unemployed. Three-hundred-Sixty-nine(369) unemployed people in Choong-ju City and surrounding areas participated to the study. The results showed that both main and direct effects were partially supported by the data. In exploring the direct effect, social support from the family showed the strongest positive effect on the well-being of the unemployed. In the test of the stress buffering effect, the results showed a marginal buffering role of social support against the negative impacts of stress. Drawn from the results, the needs for further research in investigating the social support theory were suggested and possible implications for developing social work intervention strategies for the unemployed were identified.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the social support was related to the relationships between marital quality and stress from life events among married immigrant women. The subject of this study included 182 married immigrant women lived in Busan. The results of this study were as follows: First, life stress and social support had a independently significant effect on marital quality. Second, social support had a negative effects when the relationship between life stress and marital quality mediated by social support. In varying forms and degrees, social support may play significant roles in relation to life stress and marital quality, but like married immigrant women, limited social support may be no/low effect on the relationship between life stress and marital quality. In this article, we examined the effect of social support related to life stress and marital quality and discuss the implications for research.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether social support perceived by a health science student affects career stress and to provide basic data for counseling using social support as an effective career guidance. This study subject to 307 students from J university in Jeonju. The survey was conducted by questionnaire. The survey content consisted of social support, career stress, and general characteristics of the subject. The study found that the lower the academic stress, the higher the social support score in the high family socioeconomic status group and the higher the academic stress, the higher the career stress in the general characteristics of the subjects. Based on the results of this study, we have confirmed that social support affects career Stress. Therefore, social support may serve as a protection factor for health science students who received career stress by relieving stress and improving satisfaction with own life.

In the present study, more systematic laboratory model tests under various conditions are carried out to investigate load-sharing characteristics among the granular pile and adjacent soils and bearing capacity characteristics with different pile lengths. Further to evaluate effects of both a loading area and a spacing of pile installation on the bearing capacity and bearing capacity characteristics of each pile in group, model test results are also analyzed for the purpose of an efficient design of granular compaction piles. From the analysis of the model test results, it is found that the ultimate capacity of granular compaction group piles increases with a decrease in the installation distance among granular piles. It is also found that the dominant failure mode of the granular compaction piles is bulging failure. It is further realized that the length of a granular pile could not significantly affect on the ultimate granular pile capacity.

The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the incremental filling ratio, IFR. There is not at present a design criterion for open-ended piles that explicitly considers the effect of IFR on pile load capacity. In order to investigate this effect, model pile load tests using a calibration chamber were conducted on instrumented open-ended piles. The results of these tests show that the IFR can be estimated from the plug length ratio PLR, which is defined as the ratio of soil plug length to pile penetration depth. The unit base and shaft resistances decrease with increasing IFR. Based on the results of the model pile tests, new design equations for calculating base load capacity and shaft load capacity of open-ended piles are proposed.

The bearing capacity of open-ended piles is affected by the degree of soil plugging, which is quantified by the incremental filling ratio, IFR. However, most design criteria for open-ended piles do not consider the variation of pile bearing capacity with IFR. In this study, new design equations for calculating the pile base and shaft load capacities, based on IFR value of the pile, were proposed using the results of model pile tests. A full-scale pile load test was also conducted on fully instrumented open-ended pile driven into gravelly sand. The IFR for the pile was continuously measured during pile driving. In order to check the accuracy of predictions made with the proposed equations, the equations were applied to two examples, including the pile load test preformed in this study. Based on the comparisons with the pile load tests results, the proposed equations appear to produce satisfactory predictions.

Purpose: This study is a structural model study to grasp the moderating effect of online and offline social support in interpersonal and depressive relationships of nursing students. Methods: This study surveyed 264 nursing students. The collected data is analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and PLS-SEM(Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model) using SPSS 25.0 and Smart PLS 3.0. Results: Interpersonal relationship problems and online social support had a significant effect on increasing depression, and offline social support had a significant effect on reducing depression. In addition, in the relationship between interpersonal problems and depression, only offline social support was found to be significant in the moderating effect. Conclusion: To reduce depression due to interpersonal problems of nursing college students, offline social support should be actively provided, and to investigate the moderating effect of online social support, a repetitive study is proposed that includes relevant variables such as social relationship types through SNS.

This study is aim to examine the influence of the social supports factor of the college students who majors in health or social welfare on their college adjustment and whether or not academic stress would perform a mediating role in the relationship between social supports factor and college adjustment. The subjects in this study were the college students who majored in health or social welfare in Gyeongsang Namdo Province. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire form using convenient sampling methods. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the social supports factor and academic stress factor of the college students were found to have exerted a statistically significant influence on college adjustment. Second, the academic stress factor was found to have had partial mediating effects on the relationship between the social supports factor and college adjustment. The findings of the study illustrated that the academic stress factor played a buffering role in the social supports factor that affected the college adjustment of the college students.
