Purpose
This study aimed to examine the relationship among professor-student interactions, grit, and adaptation to college life.
Methods
In this quantitative, cross-sectional study, participants completed a structured questionnaire comprising 48 items: 8 on general characteristics, 8 on professor-student interactions, 12 on grit, and 20 on adaptation to college life. Data were collected from 165 nursing students at two four-year universities between April 15 and May 20, 2023.
Results
Professor-student interactions had a mean score of 3.76±0.59 out of 5, grit had a mean score of 3.09±0.53, and adaptation to college life had a mean score of 3.48±0.51. Regression analysis identified significant predictors of adaptation to college life, including professor-student interactions (β=.26, p<.001), grit-perseverance of effort (β=.18, p=.047), and satisfaction with the major, with the "very satisfied" (β=.40, p<.001) and "satisfied" (β=.24, p=.002) categories showing significant impacts. The overall regression model was statistically significant (F=20.76, p<.001) and accounted for 32.5% of the variance in adaptation to college life.
Conclusion
Educational programs designed to strengthen professor-student interactions, enhance grit, and improve satisfaction with one's major should be developed to help nursing students adapt to college life. These findings have important implications for nursing education practices, the improvement of student support systems, and the preparation of students for their professional roles.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of digital literacy, attitudes towards internet health information, and e-health literacy on health promotion behavior among adults.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey design was used. Data were collected from 260 adults aged 19 and older from two provinces. Data were collected from September 1 to 22, 2020. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results
Hierarchic multiple regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of the analyzed variables on participants' health promotion progress older age, better self-perceived health status, frequency of exercise (≥3/week), frequency of exercise (1~2/week), higher digital literacy scores, and no smoking history were associated with a higher degree of health promotion behavior, with an explanatory power of 37.0%.
Conclusion
Based on these results, in order to improve health promotion behavior in adults, it is necessary to pay more attention to younger people, those who do not exercise regularly, and smokers. In particular, as digital literacy was found to be a factor influencing health promotion behavior in adults, it is necessary to consider strategies that are tailored towards improving digital literacy in adults from all age groups and to conduct systematic education on digital devices.

Purpose
This study aims to confirms the relationship between nurses' professional autonomy, job satisfaction, perceived patient-safety culture, and patient-safety management activities; it also identifies factors that influence their patient-safety management activities.
Methods
A cross-sectional study design was adopted. The participants were 164 nurses from at five hospitals in two G provinces, Korea, who participated in the study voluntarily. Data were collected between November and December 2022 via a 120-question structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS/WINdows software version 25.0. The data were measured by frequency, percentage, and mean and standard deviation, using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.
Results
The average age of the participants was 35.54±8.42 years; 143 (87.2%) were women. The following factors influenced their patient-safety management activities: level of education (β=.16, p=.018), experience of patient-safety education (β=.15, p=.014), and perceived patient-safety culture (β=.56, p<.001). The explanatory power of the nurses' patient-safety management activities was 44.0%.
Conclusion
Hospital managers should enable nurses to carry out patient-safety procedures competently by providing continuous patient-safety education; they should also revise regulations and systems to promote good patient-safety management practices and create an environment that supports patient safety. In addition, a program should be designed and implemented to improve nurses' perceived patient-safety culture.

Purpose
In this study, factors influencing the performance of person-centered care among nurses in designated COVID-19 hospitals were examined. Methods A total of 182 nurses providing care to COVID-19 patients at six public hospitals in Gyeonggi-do the designated hospital for infectious diseases participated in the study. Data were collected from February to March 2021 using a 152-question structured questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS/WINdows software, version 25.0 by frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results The factors influencing the respondents’ performance of person-centered care were organizational culture for infection control (β=.35, p<.001), empathic ability (β=.16, p=.027), and the charge nurse position (β=.14, p=.035); these explained 20.8% of their person-centered care. Conclusion It is necessary to consider strategies to improve the organizational culture for infection control and empathic ability to promote the performance of person-centered care among nurses at designated COVID-19 hospitals. It is also necessary to design a program that can facilitate the implementation of person-centered care by nurses who hold positions junior to that of the charge nurse at designated COVID-19 hospitals.

Purpose
This study investigated the factors affecting depression in nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The participants of this descriptive study were 183 nursing students at four nursing colleges. Data were collected from August 27 to September 10, 2021 through an online questionnaire comprising 101 questions, and analyzed using SPSS/Win 25.0 program by frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results The results revealed that the average score for depression in the participants was 9.19±9.23 out of 63 points. The factors affecting depression in the participants during the COVID-19 pandemic were satisfaction with major (moderate) (β=-.38, p=.009), satisfaction with major (satisfied) (β=-.35, p=.018), job-seeking anxiety (β=.33, p<.001), health status (good) (β=-.28, p=.016), and self-efficacy (β=-.26, p=.001), and the explanatory power of these variables for depression in the participants was 43.0%. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that for early prevention and management of depression in nursing students, to increase their satisfaction with the nursing major, it is necessary to implement learning enhancement programs and adopt strategies to improve their understanding of nursing. It is also necessary to develop and implement various extracurricular programs for reducing job-seeking anxiety and enhancing self-efficacy.
