The purposes of this study were to analyze the effect of service quality on tourist satisfaction and to determine the causes and effects relationship of the tourist satisfaction on rural experiential tourism for youth. The researchers developed a questionnaires to obtain the measures of two latent variables; service quality, satisfaction. Service quality was consisted of 4 sub－domains namely program, physical environment, interaction and achievement. Tourist satisfaction were measured by 4 question items respectively. The population of this study was 424 student participants who attended rural experiential tour conducted by Korea 4－H Association. Based on the conclusion of this study, the following recommendation were suggested to enhance participation on rural experiential tourism for youth: First, since the achievement was the important factor of the tourism, effective program should be emphasized for the successful rural experiential tourism for youth. Second, youth should be encouraged to have more opportunities to participate in rural tourism because of the high educational effects and satisfaction on rural experiential tourism.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to identify the efficiency of total dental care(TDC) internship program. Methods : Dental hygiene students participated in the total dental care(TDC) internship program for 4 weeks in dental clinics practice. A self-reported questionnaire was filled out from June to July in 2012. The questionnaire consisted of oral health condition and dental care services by the students, dentists, and dental hygienists after TDC internship program. Results : Satisfaction degree of the students was $3.92{\pm}0.68$ points. The patients satisfied with TDC internship program and it was helpful to their dental health care(4.0 points). There were significant changes in tooth brushing method, frequency and O'Leary plaque index. Satisfaction degree of the dentists was 4.09 points and that of the dental hygienists was 3.80 points. Conclusions : TDC internship program is very helpful for the students not only to play an outstanding role in their dental care activities after employment but also to establish the real identity of the dental hygienist.

Having developed a parent education program for guidance of internet-using children, we evaluated the effectiveness of this program. The program consisted of five two-hour sessions. It was test-run with nineteen participants, which included mothers of elementary school children. In the evaluation of the program, we employed so-called 'pretest-posttest control group design' which compares the difference in the parenting sense of competence, parents' sense of role satisfaction, parents' sense of insecurity, and parents' rearing attitudes between the experimental group and the control group. Program evaluation revealed that the parenting sense of competence and role satisfaction increased in the group that participated in the program compared to the non-participating group. Furthermore, the parents' sense of insecurity decreased and democratic rearing attitudes were fostered in the participating group.

Background and objective: This study was conducted to find out the effects of healing farm resources and participant satisfaction on the level of stress and loyalty. Methods: The experiment was conducted on 18 subjects who participated in agro-healing activities (aged 49.5 years on average) and the concentration of cortisol, the level of stress and satisfaction with the services and program of a healing farm. The healing-agriculture activities were performed once a week, a total of 7 sessions, for 90 minutes and their saliva was collected before and after the activities. Results: The concentration of cortisol, a stress hormone, was statistically significantly reduced after the healing-agriculture activities in 5 out of 7 sessions. The total cortisol concentration showed statistically significant differences. The 6th session was comprised of different activities, compared to others, such as understanding weeds, managing a garden and making a pizza with fermentation enzymes, and the level of cortisol in the 6th session was the lowest after participating in the agro-healing activities, which indicated that the activities have the positive effect of lowering the level of stress. The level of stress was lowered from 18.39 to 16.78, which was consistent with the results of the concentration of cortisol. The level of satisfaction in the last session was below 50%, which indicated that the owner of the farm might be a little inexperienced in education and marketing on information and safety. The variables of participants including stress and satisfaction with services showed a strong influence on their loyalty. Conclusion: Satisfaction with services and loyalty to the healing farm showed a very high correlation, which was statistically significant. It also showed that participants' stress level and satisfaction with the services and program of the healing farm have a strong influence on their loyalty.

Purpose: This study was intended for the enhancement of the elderly's quality of life helping them overcome their physiological changes about aging and reinforcing their vitality. Methods: An nonequivalent control group post-test design was used for the study. The methods to perform the abdominal respiration exercise and to blow the pan-flute were demonstrated to 31 experimental subjects and 36 control subjects. The eight-week 30 minute daily home respiration exercise recipes were prescribed to the subjects. Mobile spirometers were used to measure FVC, $FEV_1$, $FFV_1$ / FVC, $SaO_2$, breathing discomfort. Daily life satisfaction scores were recorded. Music therapy accompanied the eight-week respiration program. A post-test was performed in the same manner as the pre-test. The gathered data were analysed by SPSS/WIN program. Results: 1) The pulmonary function and daily life satisfaction were significantly improved in the experimental group. 2) Both the experimental and control groups did not show significant differences in $SaO_2$. 3) The breathing discomfort was significantly reduced in the experimental group. Conclusion: The respiration exercise program for the elderly through the pan-flute improves the respiration activity of the elderly and enhances their daily life satisfaction scores. Therefore, this program produces effects in enhancing the quality of life for the elderly.

In this study we surveyed service satisfaction for the start-up support program and measured the relative importance of the factors that influence service satisfaction. The five service factors(physical facilities, finance and accounting, human resources, marketing, product development) were used to measure service satisfaction. Typically, the relative importance of predictors is assessed by simply comparing their standardized regression coefficients. However, when the predictors are correlated, regression coefficients cannot be used to explain variance shared by two or more predictors. The dominance analysis used by many researchers in recent years to measure the relative importance of predictor variables. In this article, we applied it in satisfaction research for the start-up support program. The results obtained by the dominance analysis are compared with the results obtained by multiple regression analysis. And satisfaction and relative importance of the five factors are analyzed by entrepreneurship motivation. These findings will contribute to the marketing research field relating to service satisfaction. Service satisfaction for the start-up support program can improve based on this study.

The whole program was carried out from October to December in 2002. Data was analyzed by repeated measure ANOVA, and post-hoc Turkey. The results were as follows： There were significant relationships between changes in systolic pressure(F＝10.638. P=.000), diastolic pressure(F＝6.783. p＝.013), self-care(F＝13.506. p＝.000), and health promoting behavior(F＝9.067. p＝.001) at the 6th week and the 9th week. There were no significant relationships between changes in life satisfaction at the 6th week or 9th week.
