Purpose: This study was to identify the effect of symptom experience and uncertainty on the quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Methods: Data were collected from 151 breast cancer survivors who participated actively in a self-help group from May 1st to 30th, 2015. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The severity of symptom experience, uncertainty, and quality of life of breast cancer survivors were moderate. Symptom experience, uncertainty, and quality of life showed a significant correlation. The most influential factor on quality of life was symptom experience which showed 66.0% of explanatory power. When uncertainty was added, the explanatory power increased to 74%. Conclusion: The finding showed the symptom and uncertainty affected the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. In order to improve the quality of life of breast cancer survivors, it is necessary to develop an intervention program that can reduce uncertainty and the symptoms experienced by breast cancer survivors.

Purpose: This study was descriptive study to analyze the health promoting behavior and the related factors of Japanese marriage-migrant women. Methods: The subjects were 191 Japanese marriage-migrant women living in the city. The correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe post-hoc test, and the factors affecting healthpromoting behavior were examined. Results: In the modelⅠ, the explanatory power of the model was 12% (F=2.41, p<.002). In the model Ⅱ, influence factors of health-promoting behavior were acculturation, self-efficacy, jobs, Extended family type, social support, perceived health status, and the explanatory power of the model was increased to 37% (F=6.11, p<.001). Conclusion: In order to improve the health-promoting behavior, nursing intervention programs should be developed by incorporating the personal characteristics of perceived health status, jobs, the behavior-specific cognitions, acculturation, self-efficacy, social support, and perceived barriers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of job stress and role recognition on burnout in preceptor nurses. Methods: A descriptive research design was used with a convenience sample of 131 preceptor nurses. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires from Mar 1 to Apr 30, 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: The mean scores of job stress and role recognition and burnout were 3.53 out of 5, 3.77 out of 5 and 2.64 out of 5, respectively. Preceptor nurses' burnout was positively correlated with job stress and negatively correlated with role recognition. Factors influencing on preceptor nurses' burnout were organizational job stress and role recognition which explained 13.9% of the variance. Conclusion: Based on the finding of this study, it is necessary to develop education and intervention programs in order to reduce job stress and enhance role recognition of preceptor nurses. Furthermore, recurrent studies are needed on factors affecting future exhaustion of preceptor nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the level of satisfaction and academic achievement of nursing students' clinical practice achievement between field and online practice. Methods: In this descriptive research, we recruited junior and senior nursing students who experienced both field and online practice from nursing college in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, Korea. Data were collected using the online survey and analyzed via a t-test, ANOVA, and paired t-test using SPSS V 25.0. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction of practice between field and online practice types. However, academic achievement was higher in the field group than in the online group. Out of five points, the scores of field practice and online practice were 3.66 points and 3.39 points, respectively, which indicated that academic performance was higher in field practice than online practice (t=6.21, p<.001). Conclusion: Field practice has been shown to achieve higher academic performance than online practice. Hence, research is needed in order to develop suitable field practice models for the New Normal era in preparation for situations that practice is limited, such as COVID-19 and future outbreaks.

Purpose: This study is aimed to identify the influence of resilience and spiritual well-being on quality of life of people with mental disabilities. Methods: 162 people with mental disabilities were recruited from three department of outpatient in mental hospitals and one day hospital in Busan and Gyeongnam. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Quality of life was positively correlated with resilience (r=.67, p<.001) and spiritual well-being (r=.62, p<.001). Factors influencing quality of life were resilience (β=.44, p<.001), spiritual well being (β=.34, p<.001), and number of hospitalizations (β=-.10, p=.048). The explanatory power of these factors for quality of life of people with mental illness was 53%. Conclusion: The results suggest that in development and practice of program to increase the quality of life of people with mental disabilities a variety of factors should be considered.
