As is the case with South Korea, if the authority for decision making on curricula is concentrated on the state level, the perspective of the understanding on the curricula could be said to be essential. And, such an understanding on the curricula can be important not only to the theorist of curricula but also the teachers in educational institutions. Also, there have been a number of studies to examine the awareness of the teachers on education reform. However, the studies on the resistance factor was mainly focused on the relationships with traits of individuals, covering factors such as their habits, maturity, character, and age, etc. But, it was difficult to find consistency in the results of these studies. Therefore, in this study, the researcher selected the teachers as the key factor of the execution of the curricula and examined the awareness of the teachers on education resistance and the negative views thereupon in the relationship between the knowledge, attitude, skills, and education execution, with a view to find another meaning. The subjects of this study were selected among the teachers in middle or high schools located in Gangnam, Songpa, and Joonggu districts of Seoul. The survey was conducted online with 15 institutions over three weeks from April 13 to 30, 2018. The data gathered were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0, in order to validate the hypotheses through frequency analysis, confidence analysis, factor analysis, structural equation model, and sobel-test. The result of the analyses showed that the factors that affected execution of curricula were the skill system, knowledge system, and attitude of the teachers, in that order, with a positively significant influence. And, significant differences were identified between the factors depending on high or low resistance among teachers.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-leadership of teachers who conduct free-selection activities in kindergartens. In addition, we analyze the mediating effect of teacher self-efficacy. This study was conducted using data gathered through a survey conducted on 325 kindergarten teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do areas from September 17 to 28, 2018. To analyze the data, the author used SPSS Statistics 22.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs to conduct reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling. The result of the verification of the hypothesis showed that self-leadership of kindergarten teachers who engaged in free-selection activities positively influenced self-efficacy. Self-leadership of teachers who employed free-selection activities had a positive effect on the expertise of teachers as well. Also, self-efficacy of kindergarten teachers positively affected expertise of these teachers. In addition, the self-leadership of kindergarten teachers mediated self-efficacy, so that the indirect effect on teacher expertise was statistically significant. Also, the direct effect of self-leadership on expertise of teachers was significant, which showed that the self-efficacy of the kindergarten teachers indirectly mediated the relationship between self-leadership and expertise of the teachers. This study showed that to enhance expertise of kindergarten teachers, this requires enhancing self-leadership of teachers. Also, in order to enhance the level of self-efficacy of teachers, necessary knowledge and skills that can enhance self-efficacy of these teachers in their working environment should be provided. In addition, someone who can play the role of active facilitator or helper is needed in order to enhance expertise of these teachers.

This study was conducted to investigate the factors influencing burnout of nurses in long-term care hospitals based on the expanded JD-R model (Xanthopoulou et al, 2007). Participants were 167 nurses who worked in long-term care hospitals. The instruments used in this study were the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Copenhagen Psycho-social Questionnaire version II, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the instrument developed by Thomas and Ganster (1995). Data were collected from August 25 to September 6, 2018 and analyzed based on frequency, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression using the SPSS WIN 23.0 program. The results were as follows: Nurses' burnout in long-term care hospitals was positively correlated with job demands (r=.24, p=.002) and negatively correlated with resilience (r=-.43, p<.001) and social support (r=-.41, p<.001). Factors influencing the level of burnout were resilience (${\beta}=-.28$, p<.001), social support (${\beta}=-.20$, p=.016), and job demands (${\beta}=.17$, p=.016) ), which together explained 32.0% of the total variance in burnout. Therefore, we strongly recommend interventions that reduce job demands and enhance resilience and social support to prevent and reduce the burnout of nurses in long-term care hospitals.

Fashion cannot encourage co-consumption with other people as a personal item, but it can lead to new consumer needs if fashion sharing service can professionally replace the time and cost of purchasing and managing goods. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the factors influencing the acceptance of fashion-sharing services based on the integration theory of user acceptance and utilization (UTAUT), and to discuss the virtuous cycle and sustainability pursuit of resources through the activation of the sharing. In this study, the research model for the acceptance of fashion sharing applications is schematized, and the survey was conducted 300 women aged 20~49 years. The screens of 'Project Anne', a representative fashion sharing service in Korea, were provided as a visual data. Reliability analysis, correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation analysis, and multiple group analysis were performed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 22.0 statistical package for statistical analysis. As a result, efficiency and social influence positively influenced behavioral intention to use, and age has found that efficiency and social influences modulate the intensity of behavioral intention to use. Therefore, for the consumer acceptance and activation of fashion sharing services, marketing activities emphasizing efficiency and strengthening social influence factors are essential. Also, it is necessary to maintain the existing target group, 30~40s, and also construct additional products and price services for the 20s. This study is of academic significance in presenting basic data for empirical research on consumer acceptance of fashion sharing, and suggests a study on the influence relationship among user experience components for real users in the future.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of depression, social isolation, and meaning in life on the swallowing related quality of life in patients with dysphagia. In this study, 87 the dysphagia patients diagnosed with stroke, degenerative disease, and neurological disorder in a general or rehabilitation hospital in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon were assessed. The data were collected between February and April, 2015 using CES-D, RULS, PIL, SWAL-QOL. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 22.0. Of the participants, 20.7% reported having had depression, 92.0% middle-high social isolation and 64.4% existential vacuum. The mean scores were SWAL- QOL 158.89(35.97). Stepwise multiple regression revealed that tube feeding to have the greatest effect on SWAL-QOL(${\beta}=-0.57$, p<.001), followed in order by age (${\beta}=0.26$, p=.001), lower MIL (${\beta}=0.19$ p=.014), and education (${\beta}=0.17$, p=.032). The most influential factor to SWAL-QOL was tube feeding. These variables accounted for 50.7% of SWAL-QOL in dysphagia patients (F=28.84 p=.031). Therefore, it is essential to develop the intervention that can improve the meaning in life in patients with dysphagia. In addition there is a need to study the psychological factors and quality of life of tube feeding.
