The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity, diet and mental health of elderly and to use the study as basic data for a program development for elderly. This was a secondary data analysis study using the 2015 National Health and Nutrition Survey and the study subjects included 1,484 individuals aged 65 and over. The results showed that depression and stress perception in young-old were higher than old-old's and the suicidal ideation rate of old-old was higher than young-old's. In case of eating patterns, 'poor eating' in old-old was higher than young old's. Regression analysis showed that middle-intensity physical activity and eating patterns were associated with mental health of the elderly. Based on the results, it is necessary to develop a differentiated nursing intervention program suitable for the elderly by age.

This study is a descriptive research conducted to identify smartphone addiction and influencing factors of high grades of elementary school students. The subjects were 294 elementary school students in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at 31 regional children's centers located in C city. Data were collected from May 13, 2019 to June 10, 2019. For data analysis, frequency analysis, 𝑥²-test, and logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS Win 23.0 program. The result of the study were 16% in the addiction risk group and 84.0% in the general group. Factors influencing smartphone addiction were smartphone usage time on weekdays(95% CI: 1.263~827.849, p=.036), and main usage time of smartphone(95% CI: 1.028~29.574, p=.046). Therefore, in order to prevent smartphone addiction of high grade of elementary school, it is necessary to develop a smartphone addiction prevention education or nursing intervention program by identifying usage time and main usage time of smartphone.

This study was conducted to examine effects of the spiritual care education program on self esteem, communication, existential well-being and spiritual care competence in nurses. A non-equivalent control group, non-synchronized with pre-posttest design was used. The participants were 63 nurses(30 in an experimental group and 33 in a control group)attending a bachelor program of C Colledge in G metropolitan city. The experimental group attended 7 sessions of a SCE(Spiritual Care Education) program. Sessions were 90 minutes each, held once per week for 7 weeks. The scores for self-esteem, communication, existential well-being and spiritual care competence were measured before and after the treatment. Data were collected between October 10 and December 5, 2017 in an experimental group, April 24 and June 5, 2018 in a control group. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test using SPSS/WIN 21.0. The existential well-being(p<.025) and spiritual care competence(p<.001) were significantly increase in the experimental group compared to the control group after the intervention.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance on respiratory and balance function in stroke patients. 17 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 8) and the general vibration exercise program (n = 9). The intervention was conducted three times a week for 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks. The respiratory function and balance ability were evaluated before and after the intervention to evaluate the degree of functional improvement. As a result, there was a significant difference (p<.05) between the respiratory function and the balance ability in the experimental group, and a significant difference(p<.05) in the respiratory function between the experimental group and the control group. The balance ability was not significantly different among the experimental groups. Through the results of this study, whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance may be useful as a program for improving respiratory function and balance ability of stroke patients.

Purpose: This study was to analyze research reports published in Korea on physical activity for adult. Method: Based on inclusion criteria, 11 research reports were included in this review. Published year of selected articles was between 1990 and 2012. Eleven studies were analyzed by guidelines of the physical activity program done by experimental and quantitative research. Result: The characteristics of objects were mostly of non disease adult, over 65 years old, and female. Most educational content were about physical activity understanding, diet, nutrition. A large percentage of outcome indicators were body composition, physical function. Conclusion: Various types of physical activity program in Korea were performed by researchers.

The subjects of this study were three developmental disabilities workers working in a restaurant business on a part-time basis, and the experimental environment was composed of the home and subway stations where they reside. The study method used a single subject study, and the baseline, intervention, and maintenance were reflected as the design conditions of the experiment. As a result, the subjects of the study effectively acquired and maintained the job preparation skills for work work through the online lifelong education program for the production and demonstration of key words cards. Through the results of this study, it was possible to discuss and conclude that the significant functional relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables is valid.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural relationship between emotional labor, job stress, perceived organizational support and job satisfaction for the health promotion program personnel. The subjects were 126 in charge of the health promotion program. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 23.0 for the independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling. There were significant differences in emotional labor by age and marital status (p<.05), job stress by religion (p<.01) and job satisfaction by career, religion and marital status (p<.01). The indirect effect of emotional labor on job satisfaction was -0.315, and no direct effect was found. The indirect effect of job stress on job satisfaction was -0.288, and the direct effect was -0.228. The direct effect of perceived organizational support on job satisfaction was -0.507.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of Problem-based Learning (PBL) in an interdisciplinary college class. This class was run under the theme of 'Nurse Social Content Creators' (NSCC) in the Korean Nurses Association (KNA)'s industry-university collaborative project designed to promote a positive image of nurses among the public. Methods: Study 1 examined changes in perception about nurses among the PBL participants before and after the program. A one-group pre-post test experimental design was applied, and the data were analyzed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Study 2 identified differences of perceptions of nurses between people who had observed the PBL final presentation and people who had not. A post-test-only with nonequivalent group experimental design was used, and the data were analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Study 1 revealed a significant increase of positive perceptions towards nurses. Study 2 revealed a significant difference between the PBL presentation audience group and the control group. Students who had observed the PBL program showed more positive perceptions of nurses than students who had not. Conclusion: This research is an important study with high practicality in the area of media studies as well as in nursing. The PBL teaching method was proven to be effective in enhancing perceptions of nurses.

This study was conducted to identify nutrition knowledge, eating behaviors, and the need for an integrated program to improve eating behaviors according to residential type of female college students. Data were collected from March 16 to April 16, 2021, using online self-report questionnaires and the final 217 data were used. To analyze data, frequencies and percentages, means and standard deviations, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA were conducted using SPSS WIN 26.0. The results showed that home residents had better eating behaviors than those living in rented rooms. Moreover, the demand for an integrated eating behavior improvement program for disease and health information topic was higher among home residents and participants in rented rooms than among those living in dormitories. When developing an integrated program for improving eating behaviors among female college students, it is essential to apply a differentiated intervention program that considers residential type.
