Pathway Analysis on the Influence of Health Promoting Behavior(HPB) and Depression Cognitive Scale(DCS) on Smoking Cessation Thoughts and Intention to Quit Smoking of College Students who Smoke

This study attempts to set a pathway on smoking cessation behavior and to verify it by an analysis of the students who smoke. The study was performed with an analysis of the data of 160 students at N university. There were statistically significant differences among the students who desired to quit smoking (or who expressed interest in quitting smoking) in the following areas: thoughts about smoking cessation, intention to quit smoking, health promoting behavior (HPB), and depression cognitive scale (DCS) (p

Factors associated with Quality of Life of Parents who Lost Children in the Sewol Ferry Disaster

Purpose: This study aimed to (1) explore current levels of quality of life, depression, resilience and social support and (2) investigate factors associated with quality of life among parents who lost children in the Sewol ferry disaster. Methods: Data for this descriptive and correlation study was collected from December 2016 to June 2017. Structured questionnaires were completed by 114 parents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multivariate linear regression. Results: Lower levels of quality of life were reported by parents with no current occupation, who considered emotional support by others as not helpful, not disclosing self as family of a victim, experiencing change in social activities related to the disaster, and not participating in bereavement activities with other families (all p values <.05). Factors associated with quality of life were depression (β=-.53) and resilience (β=.26) and explained 48.0% variance (F=50.37, p<.001), while social support was not a significant factor. Conclusion: Our study findings provide fundamental information on the mental health status of families of the Sewol ferry disaster victims. Nursing interventions to improve quality of life of parents who lost their children in the disaster should emphasize both managing depression and improving resilience.

Virtual Reality Program Model for Trauma Intervention in Multi-cultural Adolescents

최근 가상현실의 기술이 발달함에 따라 게임중독, 알코올 중독 등에 대한 가상현실 치료 프로그램이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구는 다문화 청소년의 트라우마 중재를 하기 위하여 가상현실에 기반한 인지행동치료 프로그램을 구현하는 개발과정의 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 인지행동치료의 가상현실 프로그램개발은 크게 3단계로 나누어진다. 제1단계에서는 다문화청소년이 트라우마로 인하여 경험한 주요 감정과 표출된 문제를 포함한 트라우마의 특성들을 파악하고 제2단계에서는 트라우마에 대한 인지행동치료를 목표로 한 시나리오를 구성의 전개과정과 범위의 내용을 제시되어야 한다. 최종 제3단계서는 시나리오 콘텐츠의 가상현실프로그램 구현에 대한 타당성 검토를 통해 다문화청소년의 긍정적 변화를 이끌 수 있는 중재 프로그램 개발의 가능성을 제안하였다.
