Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 234 paramedic students in C area from August 25 to September 3, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, career obstacle factors, career identity, and types of career choice. The data were analyzed by t test, ANOVA, post hoc $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS v. 20.0. Results: Career obstacle factors and career identity of paramedic students had significant differences on motivation of university choice, major satisfaction, and job preference. A stable type of career choice showed a significantly lower score for career obstacle factors and a higher score for career identity. Career identity had a strongly positive relationship with major satisfaction and had a negative relationship with career obstacle factors. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the main variables affecting career identity were types of career choice, motivation of university choice, major satisfaction, and career obstacle factors.

This study compared the surface roughness and surface characteristics between a type IV stone and scannable stone. Materials used were a type IV stone, two different kind of scannable stone. Ten specimens per experimental group were prepared according to manufacturer's direction. Surface roughness of specimen was measured using profilometer. The measurement was based on the standard of Japanese Industrial Standards 1994. The mean and standard deviations of each reference point were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Scheff$\acute{e}$ post hoc test. The program used to handle statistical analysis was SPSS 20.0 and the significance level was set at 0.05. The difference of surface roughness was statistically significant in order of Scannable Stone $10.07{\pm}0.02{\mu}m$, Scannable Stone $20.08{\pm}0.03{\mu}m$, Type IV $0.10{\pm}0.04{\mu}m$. These results will have to be confirmed in further clinical application researches.

This study is to find a service that improves the subjective happiness of cancer patients that receive radiation therapy. One hundred and one cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy were enrolled in the survey to verify the self-consciousness and symptom distress that could affect the subjective happiness. Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation were conducted with the SPSS 20.0 program. Symptom distress of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy showed highest in the order of fatigue, appearance changes, dizziness, loss of appetite, and sleep disorders. And lower symptom distress, higher private self-consciousness were significantly correlated with higher subjective happiness among patients receiving radiation therapy for cancer. Study findings reflect the necessity of an integrative approach combining physical, psychological and emotional interventions during a radiotherapy period. For this cause, it would be necessary to supplement previously existing service programs and organize a patient-friendly system that could affiliate regional cancer centers or Public health centers with the hospitals in which the patients are being treated.
