Purpose : This study examined the hand function and visual motor integration capabilities in 30 children with developmental disabilities. The children were divided into an experimental group (n=20) that received digital sensory perception training and a control group (n=10) that did not receive this training. Methods : Training was conducted a total of 12 times for six weeks, for 50 minutes a day, twice a week, for the experimental group. The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test was used to determine the hand function before and after the intervention, and the Beery VMI-6 was performed to identify the visual motor integration capability. Results :After the intervention, the ability to perform hand functions and visual motor interaction increased significantly in the experimental group but not in the control group. Digital sensory training therefore had a positive effect on the hand function and visual motor integration in children with developmental disabilities. Conclusion : A digital sensory perception training program is an arbitration method that can positively improve the hand function and visual motor integration ability in children with developmental disabilities.

This study was a literature review to investigate the trends and characteristics of music intervention studies on psychological support for children and adolescents from multicultural families. A total of 19 researches(13 theses and 6 articles) from 2009 to 2018 was reviewed through the selection and exclusion criteria. First, in the general characteristics, researches employing quasi-experimental design and those of one-group pre-post tests scored a higher ratio, and studies for children under the age of 13 also showed the highest percentage. Second, about the intervention characteristics, the goal mainly focussed on self-related factors such as self-identity, self-esteem and self-concept, and with the intervention type, there were mostly found the group activities integrating singing, playing and creating. It is meaningful that this study can be used as basic data developing music intervention programs for them, and suggesting music intervention considering the characteristics of them will be conducted more actively in the future.

As the widespread use of mobile health intervention among Korean patients with chronic disease, it is needed to identify research trends in mobile health intervention on chronic care using text mining technique. This secondary data analysis was conducted to investigate characteristics and main research topics in intervention studies from 2005 to 2018 with a total of 20 peer reviewed articles. Microsoft Excel and Text Analyzer were used for data analysis. Mobile health interventions were mainly applied to hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and coronary artery disease. The most common type of intervention was to develop mobile application. Lately, 'feasibility', 'mobile health', and 'outcome measure' were frequently presented. Future larger studies are needed to identify the relationships among key terms and the effectiveness of mobile health intervention using social network analysis.

Purpose : This study investigates the effectiveness of digital therapy for stroke patients in Korea. Methods : A comprehensive database search was performed using KCI, Science on, e-article, RISS, KISS and Korea OpenMed databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that studied the effects of digital therapy on patients who had a stroke. This study includes RCTs published from January 2000 to July 15, 2022, which fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total 697 studies were screened and 30 studies were included in the final analysis. Methodological quality was assessed with the Cochrane's RoB (risk of bias) tool. Meta-analysis was performed using CMA 4.0 software. Results : A total of 56 effect sizes were calculated from the 30 selected studies. As a result of the analysis, the overall effect size of digital therapy was .59 (95 % CI=.43-.74). When classified according to type of intervention, VR (virtual reality) (g=.58, 95 % CI=.40-.75), and CACR (computer assisted cognitive rehabilitation) (g=.62, 95 % CI=.30-.95) were statistically significant. VR showed medium to large effect sizes in cognitive function (g=.78, 95 % CI=.20-1.37), psychosocial function (g=.63, 95 % CI=.20-1.07), and physical function (g=.61, 95 % CI=.38-.83). In the CACR, there was a large effect size in cognitive function (g=.84, 95 % CI=.52-1.15), but there was no significant difference in psychosocial function. Also, there was no significant difference between the two interventions in activities of daily living and no significant difference in the effect size of both interventions according to the intervention session. Furthermore, medium to large effect sizes were found for subacute and chronic stroke patients according to the duration of disease. Conclusion : This study presents evidence that digital therapy has a positive effect on various functions of stroke patients in Korea. The researchers expect to actively accept the new paradigm of digital therapy and continue to apply digital therapy in clinical practice.

The main purpose of the study is to determine the main elements of the use of digital technologies for learning a foreign language in educational institutions. The era of digital technologies is a transition from the traditional format of working with information to a digital format. This is the era of the total domination of digital technologies. Digital technologies have gained an unprecedented rapid and general distribution. In recent years, all spheres of human life have already undergone the intervention of digital technologies. Therefore, it is precisely the educational industry that faces a difficult task - to move to a new level of education, where digital technologies will be actively used, allowing you to conveniently and quickly work in the information field for more effective learning and development. The study has limitations and they relate to the fact that the practical activities of the process of using digital technologies in the system of preparing the study of a foreign language were not taken into account.

This study was to perform a systematic review to examine pressure ulcer preventive intervention and risk factors. PRISMA flow diagram in accordance with the selection process of this research was done. The literatures were retrieved from domestic and international study from 2010 to June, 2019. A total of 30 literatures were selected according to the selection criteria of this study. The literatures were searched electronically using the search engine with the key words of 'pressure ulcers', 'bedsore', 'decubitus ulcers', 'intervention', 'prevention'. The results of this study suggest that mediation with position change and pressure reduction device reduced the incidence of pressure sores and was important for prevention. Based on the results of this study, we provide basic data for preventive intervention of pressure ulcers that are appropriate for each medical institution.

The harmful effects of online malicious comments are continuously increasing. Many previous studies have confirmed that neutralization of malicious comments is a key predictor. Neutralization is theoretically composed of seven multidimensional concepts, and the significance of neutralization factors varies depending on the type of deviant behavior. This study focuses on the fact that the malicious comment researches have considered the neutralization techniques in a single dimension as opposed to demonstrating the multidimensional neutralization techniques in the deviant behavior research. On the other hand, the role of arbitrator in deviant behavior can contribute to restraining deviant behavior, but the research of intervention intention is relatively lacking in malicious comments research. This study, composed of two complementary studies, tried to find out the related factors of malicious comments and intervention intention. As a result of study, This study revealed that malicious commentator uses the neutralization techniques of condemn the condemners and denial of responsibility. In addition, we found that affective empathy has a significant effect on the intervention intention in malicious comments.
