PURPOSE
The purpose of the study was to investigate the factors affecting on smartphone addiction according to the classification of addiction-risk groups among college students, focusing on self-control. METHODS A sample of 242 college students at K University in Seoul was recruited to participate in the study. A structured questionnaire composed of items for the self-rated smartphone addiction scale and self-control scale was used to collect data. RESULTS The number of students in smartphone addiction-risk group was 66 (27.3%). This study had 17.5% of the explanatory power, including perceived smartphone necessity (beta=.330, p=.007), and instant self-control (beta=-.281, p=.028) in addiction-risk group. Whereas, in non-risk group, the affecting factors included gender (beta=.194, p=.004), self-awareness of addiction (beta=-.290, p<.001), and instant self-control (beta=-.281, p<.001) with 31.3% of the explanatory power. CONCLUSION There is a need to develop an intervention program to prevent the addiction of smartphones and to improve self-control among college students.

PURPOSE
This study was to develop and test the resilience scale for Korean nursing college students. METHODS The initial 82 items (7 factors) were developed through literature review and student interviews. Items were reduced to 55 items through content validity test by 5 experts and face validity tests by 20 nursing students. The preliminary Resilience Scale for Korean Nursing Students (RS_KNS) was administered to 302 nursing students of 4 universities in Chungnam. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS Twenty-four items were selected for the final scale. Seven factors evolved from the factor analysis, which explained 61.9% of the total variance. The internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha was .84 and reliability of the subscales ranged from .60 to .77. CONCLUSION The resilience scale for Korean nursing college students demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the resilience of nursing college students and is expected to get utilized in teaching and research. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify health beliefs and knowledge related to hepatitis A vaccination (HAV). Preventative behaviors related to HAV were also examined. METHODS The convenience sample of 332 students were drawn from a university in Chung-nam province. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffetest, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS for Windows 21.0 software. RESULTS Vaccination rates for hepatitis A were 23.4%. The mean scores of health beliefs, knowledge and preventative behaviors related to hepatitis A were 2.38+/-0.25, 0.34+/-0.30, and 3.15+/-0.40 respectively. The factors found to be related to hepatitis A preventative behaviors were HAV, having the HAV antibody and health beliefs. CONCLUSION An experience of HAV, having HAV antibody, and positive health beliefs related to hepatitis A may be necessary to increase voluntary hepatitis A preventive behaviors among university students. It is essential to develop the strategy of educating university students about HAV and having HAV antibody as well as reinforcing health beliefs about hepatitis A which prevent the hepatitis A occurrence.
