This paper provides an overview of the experiences of the people's housing process (PHP) in South Africa. The discussion is done against the backdrop of the different outcomes of the government public housing provision initiative, commonly known as the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) that directly produced more than three million subsidized housing to formerly segregated and disadvantaged populations. Notwithstanding the huge success in providing the much needed accommodation to such previously marginalized communities, the over-reliance on direct provision has the PHP ostensibly less impactful in housing delivery. Against the backdrop of the soaring housing backlogs, concerns with housing quality and the financial difficulties as well as the shrinking fiscal space; the article recommends improved support of the PHP. This can be achieved by the adoption of innovations that make land and minimal infrastructure and services available to the urban poor and to support their initiatives of self-building.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the effect of university students' intention to donate hematopoietic stem cells based on the theory of planned behavior. Methods: The subjects include university students who visited the campaign for the registration of hematopoietic stem cell donation held at H university on September 28, 2019 and October 2, 2019. Results: The intention to register for hematopoietic stem cell donation and empirical attitude (r=.72, p<.001), instrumental attitude (r=.64, p<.001), directive norm (r=.53, p<.001), technical norms (r=.55, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.86, p<.001) showed a significant positive correlation. The multiple regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy (β=.66) and empirical attitude (β=.23) were the most influential factors. Conclusion: Educational and promotional programs to increase the intention to register for hematopoietic stem cell donation need to be developed to help increase students' self-efficacy and help them develop a positive experiential attitude. In addition, further research is needed to determine whether the intention to register in hematopoietic stem cell donation among university students can lead to actual registration and donation after registration.

This study is designed to develop a hospital communication program and to verify its effectiveness in graduate nurses self-esteem, communication conflicts, turnover intention and early resignation rate. The study method is a randomized control group with a pre-post test design. In order to help new graduate nurses adapt to the hospital, eight week hospital communication program is developed. The study participants are 104 nurses(47 experiment, 57 control) who have been working for less than six months. The data on self-esteem, communication conflict, and turnover intention was collected one week before the program and four weeks after the program. Then, the early resignation rate of the participating nurses was surveyed one year after the start of employment. The nurses who participated in the hospital communication program exhibit higher self-esteem, fewer communication conflicts, and lower early resignation rates than those who did not. However, effect in the turnover intention is not observed. Overall, the hospital communication program will help new graduate nurses adapt to hospitals.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether job-seeking stress, career decision-making self-efficacy, self-esteem, and academic achievement had an influence on nursing students' happiness. Methods: The participants were 147 nursing students in D city. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 19.0 using ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Factors that had an influence on happiness included major satisfaction(highly unsatisfied ${\beta}=-.251$, p=.001), average monthly family income(between four and six million won ${\beta}=.222$, p=.002), career decision-making self-efficacy(${\beta}=.198$, p=.010), major satisfaction(satisfied ${\beta}=.196$, p=.006), and subjective health(unhealthy ${\beta}=-.167$, p=.020). These factors explained 33.5% of the variance in student happiness. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that career decision-making self-efficacy, self-esteem, major satisfaction, and job-seeking stress were important intrinsic factors in the happiness of nursing students. Thus, it is necessary to help these students attain more self-efficacy, self-esteem, and major satisfaction rather than focusing on academic achievement in order to increase their happiness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare physical self-concept, academic self-concept and depression among obese and over-weight and normal weight children. Methods: The 6th grade children in two elementary schools (n=287) completed self-report questionnaires measuring self-concept and depression. Results: The mean score of depression and self-concept in normal weight children were 9.76 and 92.59. In obese and over-weight children, depression and self-concept were 12.31 and 86.69 respectively. Subjects who were obese and over-weight showed significantly lower scores of physical self-concept (t=-4.621, p<.001) but not significantly low in academic self-concept (t=-1.065, p=.288) than normal weight children. Meanwhile, this study shows that subjects who were obese and over-weight were significantly higher level of depression than subjects in normal weight (t=2.480, p=.014). Conclusion: In conclusion, obese and over-weight children showed negative aspects in the developmental course. This study demonstrates that obese and over-weight children should be treated as a risk group who needs any professional help such as a school mental health program for normal development.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to develop and evaluate the effects of an empowerment program. Method: We developed an 8-week empowerment program to decrease cancer symptoms and increase self-efficacy, self-esteem, and empowerment. This program includes aspects concerning self-knowledge and management, self-help groups, self-advocacy, resource network, and laughter therapy. We evaluated the effects of this program on 32 home-based cancer patients (one group pretest-posttest design). The data collection was performed from August 22, 2011 to October 13, 2011. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Result: There were significant differences in self-esteem derived from the empowerment program. However, there were no significant differences in cancer symptoms, self-efficacy, and empowerment after the program. Conclusion: More research, using a control group pretest-posttest design that considers an appropriate intervention duration, is needed to more accurately examine the effects of the program. We expect this intervention to improve the empowerment of home-based cancer patients.
