Purpose: The purpose of the study was to have an in-depth understanding of delivery room nurses' experiences of caring for stillborn babies and their parents. Methods: After obtaining approval from the Institutional Review Board, data were collected from March 1 to August 30, 2016. A total of six nurses participated in the study. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted and the data subsequently analyzed. Results: Using thematic analysis, six themes were defined and refined: Emotional distress as a result of encountering stillborn babies; Caring for the deceased baby; Concerns for the mother's pain; Consideration for the father; Conflicts between accepting and dismissing parents' requests; and Strong mindset for the stillborn babies and their parents. Conclusion: The results showed that the nurses' experiences of caring for stillborn babies and their parents might be a difficult and lonely process. However, it could also be a process of attaining maturity by finding meaning and value in one's work. It would be helpful for the delivery room nurses to share examples of effective communication, train through simulation, and learn useful strategies that each nurse can use.

This study focuses on avoiding the failures from the wrong selections by experiences as simulation programs is not available, and suggests the methods which effectively select the alternatives when the selected model is not appropriate for the original plan. First, CC8800-1K of DEMAG has the longest boom whose length is 216 m at the maximum. The combination of the boom is feasible to second level except for MANITIWOC M 2250 (M-1200 RINGER) which is possible to third level. Second, the angle of boom is from 20 degrees to 82 degrees. Suitable angle to work is in the 55-78 degrees. The working load of crawler type and hydraulic one to be applied is 75-85% in the critical loads capacity. As increasing operating radius, crawler type is a favorable position over hydraulic one. Lastly, related problems were verified through examination by suggestions for the design of the selection methods for the case analysis. The major problems are stemming from the selection based on its experiences, unreasonable demand for the existing facility and repeated selections by the designer who accumulates his experiences via same or similar projects.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate factors that affect job stress among caregivers in long-term care facilities. Methods: Data were collected from 125 caregivers through a structured questionnaire targeting general characteristics, violent experiences, coping, and job stress from February 2 to March 10, 2015. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression using SPSS 21.0. Results: The rate of violence experienced by caregivers was 99.2% for verbal abuse, 99.2% for physical violence, 95.2% for physical threatening, and 62.3% for sexual abuse. The mean score for coping and job stress was above average. Job stress significantly differed by marital status, education level, facility size, and policy on workplace violence. The significant predictors of job stress included policy on workplace violence, violent experiences, and education level. The regression model explained 28.0% of the variance in job stress. Conclusion: To improve job stress of caregivers, it is necessary to establish policies for violence within the organization and to develop and apply various programs that allow caregivers to work safe from violence both physically and psychologically.

In this study, I investigate the literary features and educational values of spoken travelogues by analyzing a travelogue about the Diamond Mountains by a farmer named Im, Chul-ho, a very interesting travelogue told for 70 minutes. It seems to have educational significance as a wonderful piece of literary work. The literary features of this tale can be summarized as follows. (1) It is truly 'literature of reality' which fully brings out literary appreciation; It evokes interest and emotional tension on the part of audience through vivid verbal embodiment of personal experiences; (2) It is a well constructed big story embedding small stories within it. The stories from many different travel points emerge into a whole unified story making it much richer and more attractive; and (3) It truly reflects the experiences and emotions of ordinary people. As such, it can be regarded as their spiritual property. In addition, spoken travelogues could be valuable as an object in literature education. It needs to be included in the literature curriculum and treated in the same way as written travelogues. With strengths as instructional materials, it could be effectively used to improve students' ability to express their daily experiences with literary sensibility and to make them better understand the lives of ordinary people in the past.

The essay reflects on the work of Adrian Lapian (1929-2011), an Indonesian scholar of archipelagic/maritime Southeast Asia and its "sea people-sea pirates-sea kings." The essay suggests that Lapian's writing mirrors navigation at sea, and the constant re-orientation and ever-changing, multiple points of view that are part of it. This is contrasted to Foucault's "panopticism" and academic desire for discipline. Taking cue from Lapian's writing and from the present author's experience of seafaring, the essay envisions Southeast Asian studies as a fluid, precarious, disorienting, even nauseating multiplicity of experiences, dialogues, and moving, unstable, and uncertain points of view; a style of learning that is less (neo)colonial, more humble, and closer to experiences in the region, than super-scholarship that imposes universalizing, panoptic standards, theories and methods (typically self-styled as "new") that reduce the particular into a specimen of the general, a cell in the Panopticon. The essay concludes with reflections on certain learning initiatives/traditions at the National University of Singapore, including seafaring voyages-experiences, encounters, and conversations that make students and scholars alike to move and see differently, to be touched, blown away, rocked, swayed, disoriented, swallowed, transformed, and feel anew their places, roots, bonds, distances, fears, blindness, powerlessness.

The purpose of this study was to synthesize and interpret the findings of previous qualitative studies that investigated the lived experiences of Korean emerging adults who aged out of the foster care system. Based on our selection criteria, we extracted and analyzed 14 papers that were published between 2010 to 2023. Our meta-synthesis found that the emerging adults' life world consisted of seven domains: family experience, life tasks, education and work, financial issues, home and family, interpersonal relationships, and psychological and emotional issues. We restructured the emerging adults' lived experiences using van Manen's concepts of lived time, lived space, lived things, lived self-other, and lived body. Our meta-synthesis revealed that these emerging adults experienced multidimensional difficulties due to shortcomings of formal and informal social support after aging out of the foster care system. Their difficulties accumulated in their interaction with lived time. Based on the level of their accumulated difficulties, we categorized the emerging adults into stable, struggling, and isolated groups. However, it is important to note that many of them adapted to their own life world and strived to move forward. This qualitative meta-synthesis provides a comprehensive understanding and new interpretation of emerging adults who transition from foster care to independent living in the context of Korea.

활발한 미국 소매업 시장에는 그 어느 때 보다 많은 취업과 고용의 기회가 있다. 소매업이 타 산업이나 혹은 소매업간에서 경쟁적 우위를 차지하기 위해서는 유능한 인재의 확보가 우선적이다 그러나 대학교육을 이수한 젊은 인재들의 소매업에 대한 부정적 인식과 또한 소매업 종사자의 높은 이직률은 현재 소매업의 증가하는 인적 요구를 수용하기 어렵게 한다. 따라서 대부분의 미국 소매업에서는 24세 이하의 젊은 임시직 고용인으로 인재를 확충하고 있는 현실이다. 그러나 적절한 직업 훈련이나 직업 역할에 대한 감독자의 충분한 지도 없이 형성되는 그들의 일시적인 소매업 직무 경험은, 소매업종에 대한 부정적 인식을 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 제한적 인 직무 경험은 곧 소매업 자체에도 부정적 인 파급효과를 낳게 되어 소매 기업 자체의 이 익을 저하함은 물론, 장기적 안목에서 유능한 인재를 소매업으로 유입할 수 없게 만드는 요인이 되는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 대부분 고등학교 시절부터, 임시직 고용인으로 출발하는 미국 젊은 소매업 종사자들의 '직무 경험'이 어떻게 그들의 '직업 성과' 와 '직업 만족'궁극적으로는 장래의 '소매업 직업 선택'에 인과적 영향을 미치는지를 연구하였다. 연구방법은, 4년 간에 걸쳐 5회의 focus group interview 와 총 2,171명에 대한 3회의 설문지조사가 미국 고등학교 및 대학생들을 대상으로 시행되었다. 이러한 광범위한 양적, 질적 접근에 대하여 회귀분석, 확증적 요인분석, 구조방정식 모델의 분석을 함으로써 본 연구 주제에 대한 포괄적인 연구모델이 개발되었다. 연구결과로는 젊은 임시직 소매업 고용인들의 직무 경험 중 '감독자지도' 와 '직무관여'는 일관되게 '직업 만족' 및 '직업성과'에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그러나 '역할 갈등'과 '역할 모호성'은 '직업 만족'및 '직업성과'에 비 일관된 부정적 영향을 미치고 있었다 한편 '직업성과'는 '직업 만족'과 '소매업 직업 선택의도'에 대해 영향을 미치지 않은 반면, '직업 만족'은 '직업 선택의도'에 직접적인 결정적 요소로 일관된 영향을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 미국 젊은 학생들이 고등학교 시절부터 보편적으로 경험하게 되는 소매업 직무 경험에서, 혁신적인 감독자들로부터 적절하게 직무에 대한 지도를 훈련받고 또한 높은 수준의 직무 관여를 소매업 종사자들이 경험한다면, 그들의 직업 만족은 증가하고 이는 곧 장래에 그들이 소매업을 직업으로 선택하게 할 수 있는 가장 최우선적인 동력이라는 것을 확인하였다.
