Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to examine the degree of obesity stress and analyze factors having an effect on obesity stress among college women. Method: The subjects were 347 female students from a university in J City. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire for general characteristics, health-related characteristics, and current and preferred somatotype. Obesity stress was measured using 10 items developed by Cho (1996) based on Body Attitudes questionnaire (BAQ) of Ben-Tovim and Walker (1991). The survey was conducted from September 4 to September 7, 2007. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Spearman's rank correlation test, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS 14.0. Results: The average score of obesity stress was $2.78{\pm}0.90$ out of 5.00. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the major factors that affect obesity stress of female college students were perceived body shape, disagreement between current and preferred somatotype, history of weight control, body mass index (BMI), and perceived health status, and these factors explained 38.4% of obesity stress. Conclusion: Subjective judgment in the perception of or preference for body shape was the most important factor affecting obesity stress in female college students. Therefore, a plan is necessary to mitigate obesity stress and evaluate individually subjects who perceive themselves to be fat or want to be thinner than the current somatotype. And consultation and constant management are needed to help the high risk group (experience of weight control, BMI ${\geq}23kg/m^2$, not good health status).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among self-care, self-care agency, self-efficacy, and quality of life in type II diabetic patients registered at a public health center. Method: The study subjects were 128 type II diabetic patients who were living in G city. The data were collected from March 2001 to February 2002. The instruments used for this study were the self-care scale developed by Jeung(1997) and designed by Park (1984) based on the original scale, the self-care agency scale developed by So (1992), the self-efficacy scale developed by a Jeung (1997) and designed by Paek (1996) based on the original scale, and the quality of life scale developed by Ro (1988). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: 1. The relationships among self-care, self-care agency, self-efficacy, and quality of life were significant. Self-care was significantly related to self-care agency (r=.609. p<.01), self-efficacy (r=.763. p<.01), and quality of life (r=.493. p<.01). 2. The stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing quality of life of the subjects. The most powerful predictor was self-care agency (48.4%). The combination of self-care, complication status, age, education level, and self-efficacy accounted for 88.7% of the variance of quality of life in type II diabetic patients. Conclusion: The results suggest that self-care, self-care agency, self-efficacy, and quality of life are important variables for development of nursing intervention programs for patients with diabetes.

Purpose： This study was to identify the degree of health-promoting behavior and quality of life and the factors influencing quality of life of solitary elderly in rural areas. Method： The subjects of this study were 202 solitary elderly, and 65-89, who had been living in four rural areas. Data was collected through 4 questionnaires from July 10th, 2003 to August 30th, 2003. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple-range test, Pearson correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/PC. Results： The average item score for the health-promoting behavior was 2.43； the highest score on the subscale was self-actualization (M＝2.58) with the lowest being exercise (M＝2.05). 2) The average item score for the quality of life was 2.81； the highest score on the subscale was neighbor relationships (M＝3.27) with the lowest being economic conditions (M＝2.24). There were significant differences in the health-promoting behavior by educational level and leisure-activity, in the quality of life by age and religion. Quality of life scores correlated negatively with depression scores (r＝-.063, p＝.000) and positively with health-promoting behavior (r＝.144, p＝.000), social support scores (r＝.383, p＝.000). Stepwise multiple regression analysis for quality of life revealed that the most powerful predictor was health-promoting behavior. Health-promoting behavior, social support, depression and age explained 51.8％ of the variance. Conclusion： These results suggested that elderly people in rural areas with high degree of quality of life are likely to be high in health-promoting behavior and social support and low in depression. Therefore, it is necessary to develop health promotion programs in due consideration of health-promoting behavior and social support and depression in order to enhance the quality of life of solitary elderly in rural areas.
