PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate resiliency and its mediating effect on the association between violence experience and violence response among nurses in intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments (ED).
METHODS
Nurses working in ICU and ED were recruited from five hospitals in Busan city. Data were collected from 1st July to 31st August 2016 using structured questionnaires about violence experiences of nurses in the last three months and nurses' resilience including Korean Version of the Assault Response Questionnaire (ARQ-K). Data from 195 nurses were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Baron & Kenny's 3-step hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between violence experience and violence response.
RESULTS
A positive correlational relationship between nurses' violence experience and violence response was significant (r=.37, p < .001). Negative correlational relationships were found between nurses' violence experience and resilience (r=−.19, p=.008) and between resilence and violence response (r=−.38, p < .001). This study found a partial mediating effect of resilience on the association between violence experience and violence response (z=2.49, p=.013).
CONCLUSION
There is a need to develop a variety of intervention programs that can improve resilience in reducing violence response of nurses.

PURPOSE
This study was intended for the enhancement of the elderly's quality of life helping them overcome their physiological changes about aging and reinforcing their vitality. METHODS: An nonequivalent control group post-test design was used for the study. The methods to perform the abdominal respiration exercise and to blow the pan-flute were demonstrated to 31 experimental subjects and 36 control subjects. The eight-week 30 minute daily home respiration exercise recipes were prescribed to the subjects. Mobile spirometers were used to measure FVC, FEV1, FFV1 / FVC, SaO2, breathing discomfort. Daily life satisfaction scores were recorded. Music therapy accompanied the eight-week respiration program. A post-test was performed in the same manner as the pre-test. The gathered data were analysed by SPSS/WIN program. RESULTS: 1) The pulmonary function and daily life satisfaction were significantly improved in the experimental group. 2) Both the experimental and control groups did not show significant differences in SaO2. 3) The breathing discomfort was significantly reduced in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: The respiration exercise program for the elderly through the pan-flute improves the respiration activity of the elderly and enhances their daily life satisfaction scores. Therefore, this program produces effects in enhancing the quality of life for the elderly.

PURPOSE
This study was intended to determine how the choice of music affects the physiological and psychological status of women college student during music therapy. METHODS: A nonequivalent experimental group pretest-posttest design was used. 19 out of 54 subjects were assigned to listen to their favorite music and 17 to their unfavorite music for 20 minutes using MP3 players and headphones. Anxiety, blood pressure, pulse and blood glucose levels of the subjects were measured before treatment. The data was analyzed by Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed rank test using the SPSS/WIN 10.0 program.
