Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of stress and oral parafunctional habits on temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) in college students. Methods: An online survey comprising 354 questionnaires was conducted from May 23, 2020, to June 21, 2020. The collected data were analyzed using Student's t-test, one-way analysis of variance, correlation tests, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The stress symptom score was higher in females than in males. The symptoms of physical stress were significantly higher among students from the Department of Public Health, whereas those of psychological stress were higher among students from the Department of Physical Education. Both TMDs and oral parafunctional habits were higher among females, students of the Departments of Arts and Physical Education, and seniors. The higher the stress symptom level, the higher the scores for TMD and oral parafunctional habits. TMD and oral parafunctional habits were found to be most affected by physical stress. Conclusion: These findings indicate that a reduction in physical stress is required to decrease the prevalence of oral parafunctional habits and TMDs among college students. This can be achieved by the incorporation of physical activity programs, which may aid in reducing the symptoms of physical stress.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare stress levels of elementary students according to three regional levels: a large city, a medium-sized city, and a rural area. Methods: This was a descriptive comparative survey using a convenience sample of 1,161 5th-and 6th-grade students. The stress level was measured by a stress scale that consisted of 65 items regarding personal characteristics, family, school, and peer factors. The data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2-test$, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression using the SPSS 10.0 statistical program. Results: Overall, the mean stress scores reported by the participants were near the middle of a 5-point scale and the level of family-related stress was highest, followed by peer, school, and individual-related stress. Sixth-graders and female students showed higher stress levels than 5th-graders and male students, respectively. The participants reporting unsatisfaction with their lives and those living in large cities tended to have significantly higher stress levels. Conclusion: Grade, gender, life satisfaction, and regional levels were all significant factors associated with high stress levels among elementary students. Development of stress management programs for this specific population, especially targeting students who are female and living in large cities, is needed.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of stress driven by the national examination and to find out correlation between stress factors and students' general characteristics. Methods : Data were collected from self-reported questionnaires by dental hygiene students in D university in February, 2012. Results : Those having good high school GPAs (p<.05) and high preliminary test scores (p<.01) towards dental hygienist (p<.05). National license examination was the most stressful factor for 54.2% of the students. Much more stressful pressure goes to students of non-scheduled admission (p<.01), students who graduated from vocational high schools(p<.01), students with good high school GPAs (p<.05), and having high preliminary test scores(p<.05). Most of the students tended to bear the burden on national written examination with an average of 4.17. The most difficult subject was oral biology introduction (average 4.52). Oral biology introduction was more stressful to students of early admission, students graduating from vocational high schools (p<.05), students with good high school GPAs (p<.05), and students who had relatively low preliminary test scores (p<.001). Conclusions : It is crucial to reduce stress factors and to develop related programs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in dietary life, lifestyle factors, and stress status of Chinese students who came to study abroad to South Korea. A total of 143 Chinese students were recruited from Seoul Women's University and Wonkwang University in 2013. We used SPSS 20 for statistical analyses in this study. The mean length of residence was 2.9 years for Chinese students. Most subjects aged 20~29 years immigrated to South Korea to obtain an academic degree (bachelor, master, or doctorate). We found a significant decrease in the frequency of eating fruits and vegetables among Chinese students in South Korea after migration. Further, there was a significant increase in fast food consumption and frequency of late-night snacking and eating out. In addition, their preferred beverage changed from soft drink or tea to coffee after migration. Stress level significantly (P<0.05) increased in male students compared to female students. The high stress group watched more TV when eating compared to the low stress group. In addition, there were more students who perceived their health status as bad in the high stress group. Overall results give us useful information for targeting the most vulnerable subjects and planning nutrition intervention programs.

Purpose: This study was done to determine the effects of a neurofeedback program on brain function and stress in occupational high school students. Method: A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized with pre-posttest design was used with 62 students. Data collection was done from July to December, 2007. The neurofeedback training was given for 30 minutes at a time, three times a week for 12 weeks. Brain function was measured by brain waves in the frontal lobes of the students and analyzed by eight brain quotients characterizing patterns of EEG rhythms. The instrument used to measure stress was a scale for stress from regular daily life. Results: After neurofeedback training, the level of brain quotients in students in the experiment group increased(t=2.36, p<.05) and the level of stress decreased(t=-3.59, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of the study suggested that a neurofeedback program is effective for brain function improvement and stress reduction in high school students. Therefore, the conclusion of this study is that neurofeedback programs can be useful to increase brain function and decrease stress in occupational high school students.

Purpose: This study was to investigate middle school students' stress levels and the relation between their stress factors and self-esteem. Methods: Data were collected from 316 students, and analyzed using SPSS 11.5 for Windows. Results: Students satisfied with their school life were more likely to have less stress from 'study', 'school life' and 'family', and those satisfied with their relationship with the teacher had less stress from 'teacher', 'recreation' and 'school life'. Higher self-esteem was observed in those from a family of high economic state, those highly satisfied with school life, and those with good relationship with the teacher. The higher the self-esteem was, the lower stress was. Conclusion: It is necessary to provide more supportive environment in school, and to find out ways to reduce students' stress by enhancing self-esteem.

This study examined the moderated mediating impact of entrapment and emotional support from peers in the relationship between academic stress and suicidal ideation among middle-school students. The participants consisted of 214 middle-school students in the first to third grades from four middle schools located in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, Chun-cheon, and Jeonnam. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and the Process Macro Model versions 4, 1, and 14. The results of this study were as follows. First, academic stress did not directly influence suicidal ideation; however, entrapment mediated the relationship between academic stress and suicidal ideation. Second, emotional support from peers moderated the mediating effect of entrapment in the aforementioned relationship. This means that if students perceived emotional support from peers, then academic stress had a smaller impact on suicidal ideation through entrapment. These findings highlight the importance of decreasing levels of academic stress and entrapment to prevent suicidal ideation among middle-school students. They also suggest that enhancing students' emotional support networks with their peers could be an effective way of reducing suicidal ideation when students feel high levels of entrapment and academic stress.

이 연구는 기숙사 생활을 하는 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 주관적 체형인식, 비만도, 체중조절 행태, 비만스트레스 정도를 파악하고 각 요인들이 비만스트레스에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 1개 대학 기숙사 남녀 대학생 총 305명에 대하여 자기기입식 설문을 실시하였으며 조사기간은 2013.5.27.-6.7.까지였다. 분석 결과, 남녀 대학생 모두 자신의 체형을 바르게 인식하지 못하고 있었다. 여대생은 남자 대학생보다 스스로를 더 살쪘다고 느끼고 있는 반면 남자 대학생은 정상체중임에도 스스로를 마른 편으로 느끼고 있었다. 비만스트레스는 남자 대학생보다 여대생이 더 컸으며 남녀 학생 모두 비만도가 심해질수록 비만스트레스가 더 커졌다. 여대생은 실제 체형과 스스로 느끼는 체형이 불일치할 때 일치할 때보다 더 비만스트레스를 많이 받고 있었으나 남자 대학생은 여대생과는 반대의 결과를 보였다. 체중조절 시도를 한 군이 안한 군에 비해서 남녀 대학생 모두 더 높은 비만스트레스를 보였다. 남녀 대학생 모두 체중조절에 대한 신념이 높은 군이 낮은 군보다 비만스트레스가 컸다. 다변량 분석을 통해 확인한 비만스트레스에 대한 영향요인은 남자 대학생의 경우 스스로 뚱뚱하다고 느낄수록, 체중조절 관심도가 높을수록 비만스트레스가 증가하였고 여대생은 체중조절 관심도가 높을수록 비만스트레스가 증가하였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 비만스트레스 감소에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 활용하여 비만스트레스 취약층을 도출해 낸 후 이들에 대해 보건교육을 집중하고 특히, 남자대학생의 경우에는 마른 체형이 살이 찔 수 있도록 운동프로그램을 병행하는 것이 비만스트레스 감소에 더 좋은 성과를 낼 수 있을 것이다.
