Recently, there has been an increase in wellbeing marketing, which focuses on increasing consumer life satisfaction or consumers' sense of subjective wellbeing. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify which aspects contribute to consumer life satisfaction. In order to provide additional insights into consumer life satisfaction, this study aimed to identify the relationships among social psychological variables (consciousness of social face, social interaction anxiety, and career anxiety), shopping confidence, and life satisfaction. Shopping confidence in this study relates to confidence for clothing/accessories. It was hypothesized that social psychological variables influence life satisfaction not only directly but also indirectly through shopping confidence. Data were gathered by surveying university students in Seoul, using convenience sampling. Two hundred eighty six questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. Factor analysis of consciousness of social face revealed two factors, 'desire to gain face' and 'fear of losing face'. Factor analysis of social interaction anxiety, shopping confidence, and life satisfaction revealed that these variables were uni-dimensional. Test of the hypothesized path showed that all social psychological variables influenced life satisfaction indirectly through shopping confidence, whereas 'fear of losing face' of consciousness of social face and career anxiety influenced life satisfaction directly. The results give marketers some understanding of their consumers' life satisfaction in relation to consciousness of social face, social interaction anxiety, career anxiety, and shopping confidence.

Objective: This study investigated how social support and self-efficacy affect the quality of life of elderly people with chronic diseases. Design: The study consisted of descriptive survey research. Methods: A questionnaire covering social support, self-efficacy, and quality of life was distributed to 320 elderly people with chronic diseases. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlation between the respondents' social support (family support, friend support, medical support), self-efficacy (confidence, self-regulation efficacy, preference for task difficulty), and quality of life. Multiple regression analysis was also performed to identify the factors affecting the respondents'quality of life. Results: "Friend support" and "quality of life" (r=-636, p<0.001), had a negative correlation, "confidence" and "quality of life" (r=0.827, p<0.001), "self-regulating efficacy" and "quality of life" (r=0.736, p<0.001), and "preference for task difficulty" and "quality of life" (r=0.295, p<0.001)-had positive correlations. Friend support (𝛽=-0.164, p<0.001), confidence (𝛽=0.592, p<0.001), and self-regulation efficacy (𝛽=0.160, p<0.001) were found to affect quality of life. The independent variables showed the following degrees of influence, in order: confidence, friend support, and self-regulation efficacy. Their explanatory power was 73.3% (F=146.844, p<0.001). Conclusions: The quality of life of elderly people with chronic diseases can be improved by formulating health-promotion programs that foster a sense of community.

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of school life and to examine the influencing factors of academic adjustment and social adjustment in university students. This cross-sectional descriptive study by using secondary data from 2,064 subjects who responded to a self-rated student adjustment test. Descriptive, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Satisfaction with college selection, expectation for college, satisfaction with college service, emotional stability, and relationships with faculty were significantly higher among male students, whereas confidence in major, support from others were significantly higher among the female students. There was a significant positive relationship between academic adjustment and confidence in major, and between social adjustment and expectation for college. Confidence in major, relationships with faculty, emotional stability, expectation for college, satisfaction with college selection, and commitment to college life accounted for 31.8% of the variance in academic adjustment. In addition expectation for college, emotional stability, support from others, gender, commitment to college life, and satisfaction with college services accounted for 44.7% of the variance in social adjustment for university students. Overall, the results of this study suggest that understanding the levels of expectation for college, commitment to college life, and levels of emotional stability may be important for facilitating their transition and adjustment to university life.

본 연구는 현역 병사들의 입대 동기가 군 생활 전반에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 육군 병사와 해병대원을 대상으로 수행되었다. 입대 동기란 군 복무를 하고자 하는 동기를 말하며, 본 연구에서는 외재적 입대 동기와 내재적 입대 동기로 나누어 측정하였다. 입대 동기에 따라 군 생활 만족도와 군 조직 이미지에 대한 평가, 그리고 군 복무 경험이 앞으로의 삶에 미칠 영향에 대한 평가가 어떻게 달라지는지 알아보았다. 그 결과 육군 병사들의 입대 동기는 외재적 동기가 더 높았으며, 해병대원들의 입대 동기는 내재적 동기가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 내재적 입대 동기수준이 높을수록 군 생활 만족도가 높고, 군 조직에 대한 이미지도 긍정적으로 형성된 것으로 나타났으며, 미래의 삶에 군 생활 경험이 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 평가한 것으로 나타났다. 반대로 외재적 입대 동기수준이 높을수록 군 조직에 대해 부정적으로 평가하고, 병영생활 스트레스 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 앞으로의 삶에 군 생활 경험이 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 평가하였다. 마지막으로, 징병제 여부에 관계없이 입대를 결정한 집단과 징병제가 아니면 군대를 오지 않을 집단을 비교한 결과 군 생활 영향 평가, 군 조직 이미지 평가, 병영 스트레스 수준에서 유의한 차이가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 입대 전 입대 동기 유발의 중요성에 대해 논의하였다.

Purpose: The focus of this study was on symptom management to predict quality of life among individuals with heart failure. The theoretical model was constructed based on situation-specific theory of heart failure self-care and literature review. Methods: For participants, 241 outpatients at a university hospital were invited to the study from May 19 to July 30, 2014. Data were collected with structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSSWIN and AMOS 20.0. Results: The goodness of fit index for the hypothetical model was .93, incremental fit index, .90, and comparative fit index, .90. As the outcomes satisfied the recommended level, the hypothetical model appeared to fit the data. Seven of the eight hypotheses selected for the hypothetical model were statistically significant. The predictors of symptom management, symptom management confidence and social support together explained 32% of the variance in quality of life. The 28% of variance in symptom management was explained by symptom recognition, heart failure knowledge and symptom management confidence. The 4% of variance in symptom management confidence was explained by social support. Conclusion: The hypothetical model of this study was confirmed to be adequate in explaining and predicting quality of life among patients with heart failure through symptom management. Effective strategies to improve quality of life among patients with heart failure should focus on symptom management. Symptom management can be enhanced by providing educational programs, encouraging social support and confidence, consequently improving quality of life among this population.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of death education, focusing on death orientation and suicidal ideation, among college students majoring in social welfare. Participation in this study was voluntary. Participants were divided into two groups; an experimental group and a control group, totaling fourteen participants in each group. In exploring the effects of death education, the experimental group was subjected to a total of seven independent sessions dealing with death education over a period of four weeks. As a result of the death education, scores of death orientation and suicidal ideation in the experimental group were significantly lower in the control group. College students majoring in social welfare in the experimental group demonstrated greater comfort with the concept of death, as well as death being the prolongation of one life and new hope for an ensuing life. The experimental group demonstrated a greater appreciation for life, more confidence in setting future goals for their lives, and an awareness of, and ability to deal positively with suicidal tendencies in themselves and others.

본 연구는 건강한 삶을 위하여 중학생 대상으로 한 심폐소생술 교육 전·후 수행자신감에 관한 연구이다. 본 연구에서 도출된 주요 연구결과를 중심으로 결론을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 성별에 따른 중학생의 심폐소생술 교육 전·후 수행자신감의 차이가 있었다. 교육을 받기 전 남학생과 여학생의 자신감에는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 발견하지 못했다. 그러나, 교육을 받은 후 남, 여 학생 모두 심폐소생술 수행 자신감이 높게 나타났다. 연구에서 심폐소생술 수행 교육과 심폐소생술 수행 자신감 간의 높은 양의 상관성을 보인 결과와 일치하는 것이다. 이 같은 결과는 최소 초등학생 고학년 이상의 연령 이후의 심폐소생술 교육은 심폐소생술 수행에 대한 긍정적인 태도와 자신감 형성에 중요한 요인임을 확인한 것이다. 이는 심폐소생술 수행 교육자 연령이 낮을수록 주위에 심정지 환자가 발생했을 때 망설임 없이 심폐소생술을 시행할 수 있는 자신감 형성과 관계가 있음을 알 수 있다. 이는 심폐소생술 수행 자신감 향상을 위해서는 중학생에게 심폐소생술 교육을 반드시 이수하도록 제도적인 장치를 마련해야함을 시사한다. 또한, 심폐소생술 교육 후의 평가방법 종류에 수행자신감 차이를 확인하기 위한 추가 연구도 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of menopausal adaptation and Sanhujori (Korean traditional postnatal care) on the Health-related quality of life in middle-aged women. Methods: Women aged from 45 to 60 completed questionnaires consisting of SF-36 ver. 2 and menopausal adaptation scale between July to Aug, 2013. Two hundred and eighteen participants' data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Results: Physical health ($69.5{\pm}15.1$) was better than mental health ($68.8{\pm}17.1$), and bodily pain and social functioning were the same results as 2009 general U.S. population, with the sub-variables of quality of life being lower. Menopausal adaptation was at moderate level, and correlation of its sub-variables with quality of life were significant: fatigue (r=.60, p<.001), accomplishing feeling (r=.55, p<.001), confidence (r=.54, p<.001), dryness (r=.51, p<.001), flush (r=.38, p<.001), dominance (r=-.36, p<.001), stability (r=.26, p<.001). Fatigue, confidence, stability, period of sanhujori, and dryness revealed as influencing quality of life, while the total variation explained by these components was at 52%. Conclusion: To improve quality of life of middle aged women, health care providers need to provide nursing intervention to relieve fatigue and dryness; and address psychosocial concerns with developing nursing strategies to improve stability and confidence. For post-partum women, enough periods of sanhujori needs to be recommended.
