Purpose : The purpose of this study was to understand the correlations between ego-resilience, self-efficacy and Satisfaction of Department on Nursing Students. Method : The subjects of this study were 352 nursing students in K college. The data collection period was from April 3, 2017 to April 20, 2017. The collected data was processed using SPSS 21.0 and were analyzed using frequency, means, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and pearson's correlation coefficient. Result : The mean scores for ego-resilience, self-efficacy and department satisfaction of the nursing students were 2.75 (${\pm}1.00$), 2.86 (${\pm}0.95$) and 3.72 (${\pm}0.92$) respectively. The ego-resilience score of the nursing students was significantly differed according to their religion (F=4.39, p=.002), choice motivation (F=3.99, p=.004), and relationship with friends (F=13.53, p=.015). The self-efficacy of the nursing students was significantly different by religion (F=3.18, p=.014). The department satisfaction of the nursing students also differed according to choice motivation (F=7.54, p= .007), and relationship with friends (F=11.66, p=.001). There was a positive correlation between ego-resilience and self-efficacy (r=.608, p<.01), between ego-resilience and department satisfaction (r=.342, p<.01), between self-efficacy and department satisfaction (r=.256, p<.01). Conclusion : The results of this study suggest the following: It is necessary to repeat the study with expanded number and scope of subjects in order to increase nursing a students' interest in Satisfaction of Department. It is necessary to develop programs for enhancing nursing students ego-resilience and self-efficacy which will result in a higher degree of department satisfaction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the fluid intake and output (I&O) measurement methods in order to figure out more effective and easier method for medical patients Methods: 71 hospitalized patients participated in the study. In "liquid only (LO)" method, all amount of water was summed up including any liquid types of food and IV fluids. In "whole food(WF) intake," all liquid and solid food intake and IV fluids were added up. Results: The average amount of fluid intake was 2105.29 ml for LO method and 2523.54 ml for WF method. The average amount of fluid output was 2148.98 ml. The intra-class correlations (ICC) between the intake and output measures by the two different methods was 0.803 and 0.826, respectively. The correlation between the differences of intake/output and body weight change in two different methods was r=.347 (p=.003), and r=.376 (p=.001), respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that both LO and WF method may be useful in monitoring patients' fluid balance. Given the comparability of using LO over WF, it is suggested that measuring just liquid only intake as the indicator of patient's intake is applicable in clinical setting.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors on the quality of life of elders. Methods: Data were collected from August 25, September 1, 2014, and participants were 300 elders who were using senior welfare centers. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression were used for data analysis. Results: Elders who were more painful, highly perceived health status, self-esteem and social support, and lower depression showed relatively higher quality of life. Also, there were strong correlations between quality of life and depression (r=-.737) /perceived health status (r=.709). Factors predicted quality of life of elders were perceived health status (${\beta}=.349$), depression (${\beta}=-.267$), social support (${\beta}=.172$), self-esteem (${\beta}=.170$), pain (${\beta}=-.130$), income (${\beta}=.113$), and level of education (${\beta}=.064$). These 7 factors explained 78.2% of the variance in quality of life of elders (F=154.49, p<.001). Conclusion: Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life of elders, a systematic approach is necessary through multilateral cooperation among comprehensive sectors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of emotional labor, emotional intelligence and social support on job stress in clinical nurses. Methods: Participants were 123 clinical nurses and data were collected from October to December, 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression with SPSS 18.0. Results: A positive correlation was found between job stress and emotional labor. Emotional labor showed a significant negative correlation with emotional intelligence and social support, whereas a positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and social support. The strongest predictor of job stress was emotional labor. In addition, institution satisfaction (dissatisfaction) and the reason for selecting the job (opportunities for service) accounted for 21% of variance in job stress. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that it is important to manage emotional labor as well as to improve job satisfaction in order to reduce job stress in clinical nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to better understand nursing education in the early years of the Japanese colonial rule. Methods: We compared the 1918 Textbook on Nursing with the first Textbook on Nursing and to the original text, Grade A Textbook on Nursing, by the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) using the historical research method. The background of its publication and its use in nursing education were exploring, too. Results: After Korea's annexation by Japan, the nursing textbook by the JRCS was appointed as the standard textbook in nursing education by the Government-General in Korea (GGK). Missionary nurse got the permission for the nursing textbook by JRCS and the Textbook on Nursing was published in 1918 using Korean and Chinese characters in combination. This book, an adaptation of the original text, explained the responsibilities and roles of nurses to guide them in serving patients as well as assisting in treatment or directly performing emergency medical treatment when necessary, with a focus on the treatment of the war wounded. It would have been partially used in actual nursing education among the missionary community. Conclusion: Textbook on Nursing in 1918 was published not only for the nursing students of missionary nursing schools but also for other nursing trainees of diverse hospitals, nurses and missionary volunteers and to help them to acquire the licenses. It reflects the enforcement on nursing education by GGK and the reality and resistance in terms of the content of education of nursing in Korea during that period.
