본 연구의 목적은 대학생들이 지각하는 사회적 불평등 및 주관적인 사회경제적 지위와 우울 및 불안의 종단적 관계를 확인하는 것이다. 한국의 대학생들을 대상으로 2016년 한 학기 동안 세 시점에 걸쳐 온라인 설문지를 작성하게 하였고, 총 247명의 데이터가 분석에 포함되었다. GEE 분석 결과, 지각된 사회적 불평등이 높아질수록 우울의 위험율도 높아졌으며(OR=1.56), 주관적 사회경제적 지위가 낮을수록 불안(OR=1.39) 및 우울(OR=1.38)의 위험율이 높아졌다. 해당 결과는 치료 장면에서 대학생들의 불안 및 우울을 다룰 때 이들의 불평등 인식 및 주관적 사회경제적 지위도 고려해야함을 시사한다.
This study aimed to evaluate the perceived male friendliness in nursing programs and to identify the relationship of this with gender role stereotype and major satisfaction.
A convenience sample of 193 male nursing students was recruited for the cross-sectional survey design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA with the SPSS/WIN 21.0.
The mean scores of male friendliness, major satisfaction, and gender role stereotype were 2.94±0.35, 3.72±0.81, and 2.58±0.53, respectively. Perceived male friendliness in nursing programs was found to be correlated with gender role stereotype (r=−.215, p<.001). Participants who completed maternal nursing courses showed lower male friendliness (t=−4.53, p<.001).
Improving the male friendliness of maternal nursing courses and flexible gender role stereotyping should be considered when developing effective strategies to improve male friendliness in nursing programs.

This study aimed to develop a simulated educational program on conflict management communication skills and to evaluate the effects of the simulated program on nursing students.
The research design was qualitative and made use of surveys to gather data. Study participants included four professors from different nursing colleges, six registered nurses from different university hospitals, and five 4th year students from a nursing college.
A simulated conflict management program scenario was developed to improve communication skills by presenting four consecutive situations involving a patient, doctor, insurance review staff, and head nurse. The appropriateness of the scenario content, flow, level of the scenario, educational objectives, learner activities, and evaluation tools were verified through expert opinion surveys and pilot tests. This simulated communication program enhanced students’ knowledge and confidence, cultivated communication skills, and provided educational satisfaction by creating an opportunity for them to integrate and apply their knowledge about communication through experiencing communication conflict situations that occur frequently in clinical practice.
The results of the simulated conflict management education program can contribute to nursing students’ communication skills and self-efficacy in terms of inter-professional communication.
대학생은 성에 대한 올바른 의식과 가치관을 가져야 하며, 성적자기주장은 여대생에게 필수적인 의사소통전략이다. 이에 본 연구는 여대생의 외모만족도, 자아존중감 및 성적자기주장 간의 관련성을 파악하고, 성적자기주장에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 일대학교에 재학중인 여대생 166명으로, 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집하였다. 연구결과 여대생의 성적자기주장은 외모만족도와 자아존중감과 정적 상관관계가 있었으며, 전공에 대한 만족도와 자아존중감이 성적자기주장을 48.3% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 여대생의 성적자기주장 증진을 위한 상담이나 중재를 계획할 때, 여대생 스스로가 자신의 외모를 긍정적으로 수용하고, 자아존중감을 높이는 것이 중요한 부분이 되어야 할 것이다.
The purpose of this study was to test the relationships between academic burnout, mental health, parental achievement pressure, and academic demand in high school students.
For these aims of this study, data were collected from 430 students (185 males, 245 females) in three Korean high schools. It was used Korean Academic Burnout Scale, Parental achievement pressure, academic demand, and Symptom Check List-47. The research method used t-test to find out the difference of each variable according to academic burnout, and the variables predicting academic burnout through hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
As a result of correlation analysis, academic burnout showed negative correlation with achievement, and high positive correlation with all variables of mental health and academic demand. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that academic burnout affects achievement, academic demand and depression in the subfactors of mental health.
These findings suggest that interventional efforts are needed for these emotional factors.

This study has been carried out in order to investigate the mediating effect of depression on the relationship of self discouragement and binge eating behaviour of university female students with diet experience.
The data of diet experience existence, depression, binge eating behavior and self discouragement were obtained. Lastly, the total data of 296 undergraduate female students were analyzed.
The results of this study were as follows. First, 76% of college women reported a Diet experience. This figure was more than three times the female students reported that this diet experience. Second, In college students with diet experience, the variables of depression, binge eating behavior and self-disappointment were all significantly correlated. Third, binge eating behavior partially mediated the relation between depression and self discouragement.
Binge eating behavior mediated the relation between depression and self discouragement of University female students with diet experience.

Suicide among Korean middle school students is a growing social concern. Exploring factors associated with suicide ideation is important for suicide prevention in middle school adolescents. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors influencing frequency of suicidal ideation among middle-school students in Korea.
The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants were 391 middle school students and data were obtained from the 13th wave of Korean Welfare Panel Study in 2018. Zero-inflated Negative Binomial Regression model was employed to identify risk factors.
Among participants, 67.3% reported they did not have current suicidal ideation. By zero- inflated negative binomial regression analysis, gender, grade, and peer attachment were found to be significant predictors in the count model, and depression/anxiety and parental neglect were found to be significant predictors in the logistic model. These findings suggest that middle school adolescents who were female, 3rd grade students, or had lower peer attachment were associated with increased severity of suicidal ideation. Also, depression/anxiety and parental neglect were identified as risk factors affecting the future likelihood of suicidal ideation among middle school adolescents.
Identified risk factors affecting severity and possibility of suicidal ideation may help health care providers to tailor effective suicide prevention interventions for middle school students.
The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effects of resilience on the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior in female college students.
We investigated the relationships among interpersonal stress, resilience, and binge eating behavior of 213 female college students, and examined the moderating effects of resilience and its subcomponents (sense of control, sociality, and positivity) on the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior through hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Firstly, interpersonal stress indicated significant negative correlation with resilience and indicated significant positive correlation with binge eating behavior. Resilience and binge eating behavior indicated significant negative correlation. Secondly, resilience did not moderate the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students. However, the sense of control, an aspect of resilience, moderated the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students.
The results of this study suggest that higher interpersonal stress may increase the risk for binge eating behavior and that higher resilience may protect against binge eating behavior. The sense of control, an aspect of resilience, may enhance associations between interpersonal stress and binge eating behaviors in female college students.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Motivational Interviewing (MI) based communication training for third-year nursing students.
This study use a quasi-experimental design with pre and post-test to evaluate a 4–hour MI based communication training. This training was offered to 35 third-year nursing students who were participating in elective psychiatric nursing clerkship course. Each student completed pre and post questionnaire which includes assessment of motivational interviewing skills as measured by Helpful Response Questionnaire (HRQ). Also confidence (5 items) in using MI based communication knowledge and core skills were included. Data were independently analyzed by two coders and blindly rated the pre and post HRQ self-reported responses. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, descriptive analysis.
Nursing students showed increasing use of reflection (4.10∼5.67, p<.001), decreasing use of closed-ended question (2.00∼0.73, p<.001), road blocks (2.94∼0.64, p<.001), and improve in depth of reflection (12.79∼20.86 p<.001). But they did not show significant changes in open-ended question (2.01∼2.33, p=.257). Confidence in the interview has increased overall, except for reflecting. The overall satisfaction with the training was quite high, and the most helpful training method was group and individual feedback.
This study provides evidences that 4 hour-training is effective in core skills such as reflection and depth of reflection, and also confidence in interviews. It is necessary to develop step-by-step training modules to enhance undergraduate communication skills. It is necessary to develop an effective training strategy focused on students’ confidence in open-ended questions and reflection.

The purpose of this study was to explore gender differences in impacts of Type D personality on mental health among Korean college entrants.
A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. A sample size of 75 male and 138 female students residing in Jeonnam province completed the instruments of Type D personality, perceived stress, coping, and depressive symptoms. Data were analyzed by t-test and multiple regression.
Approximately 55.1% of female and 36.0% of male respondents were Type D. Perceived stress and depressive symptoms in Type D group were higher than in non-Type D group. Type D personality score was associated with perceived stress (β=0.40), problem focused coping (β=−0.32) among male college entrants. In female group, Type D personality score was associated with perceived stress (β=0.43), depressive symptoms (β=0.42), seeking social support (β=−0.25), and wishful thinking (β=0.20).
Male and female college entrants with Type D personality are more vulnerable in mental health. In addition, there are gender differences in Type D personality, stress, and coping strategies. We suggest the need of gender perspective to develop mental health program for college students.
