Application of the transtheoretical model to identify aspects influencing condom use among Korean college students.

Increasing condom use requires an understanding of the influencing factors. Previous research has used psychosocial theories such as the social cognitive theory and health belief to explain AIDS risk factors and condom use. However, it is still difficult to effectively predict the multidimensional factors associated with condom use. The present study utilizes the transtheoretical model to investigate condom use among college students by examining stages of change for condom use and measuring decisional balance and selfefficacy for each stage. The aim was to identify the variables affecting condom use so as to provide scientific data that would aid the development of effective strategies for increasing condom use.Increasing condom use requires an understanding of the influencing factors.

Health-Related quality of life in Community-Dwelling elderly

This study was conducted to analyze the health-related quality of life(QoL) of community-dwelling elderly individuals in Korea by measuring their mood status and disease morbidity status. Subjects included the elderly using a program conducted by 2 places of the elderly welfare centers in Chungbuk. The data was collected from 178 the elderly by structural questionnaire between March and April, 2016. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. The result showed that there was significant difference of the mood status and QoL according to disease status. And there were positive correlation between vigor of the mood status and physical function (r=.154, p<.05), bodily pain (r=.209, p<.01), general health (r=.401, p<.001), vitality (r=.512, p<.001), and mental health (r=.412, p<.001) among the QoL (r=.320, p<.05). On the other hand, the correlation between tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion among the mood status and the QoL was strong negative. Therefore, programs and comprehensive nursing interventions that enhance mood status should be implemented and promoted to increase the quality of life of the elderly.

Factors Influencing Hospital Nurses’ Turnover Intention: A Cross-sectional Survey

본 연구는 내부마케팅, 간호 전문직관, 정서적 소진과 개인적 성취감을 이용하여 병원 간호사의 이직의도 에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하고, 설명력을 확인하기 위해 수행한 횡단적 조사연구이다. 서울과 충북지역의 2개 대학병원 간호사 270명을 대상으로 자가보고식 설문지를 이용하여 2013년 5월부터 6월까지 자료를 수 집하였다. 자료분석은 단계적 다중회귀분석(Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis)을 이용하였다. 분석 결과, 간호사 이직의도의 평균값은 3.91±0.53, 내부마케팅은 2.58±0.48, 간호전문직관은 3.30±0.64, 정서적 소진은 3.23±0.64, 개인적 성취감은 3.24±0.41이었다. 간호사의 이직의도에 영향을 주는 요인은 정서적 소진 (ß= .28, p<.001), 내부마케팅(ß= -.22, p<.001), 간호 전문직관(ß= .19, p=.010), 근무부서-외래(ß= .22, p=.021), 직위-책임간호사(ß= -.303, p=.007), 학력-석사이상(ß= .28, p=.031)이었다. 이들은 이직의도를 25.1% 설명하였다. 결론적으로 간호사 이직의도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인은 정서적 소진이므로 정서적 소진을 감소시키는 중재는 이직의도를 감소시키는데 중요한 전략이 될 것이다. 아울러 내부마케팅과 간호 전문직관을 증가시키기 위한 활동 또한 이직의도를 감소시킬 것이다. 본 연구결과는 구체적인 이직의도 감 소프로그램의 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으므로 맞춤형 프로그램을 개발하여 적용하고 추후 그 효과를 분석할 것을 제언한다.
