Purpose This study was conducted to investigate selected constructs of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change regarding smoking behavior among Asian students in Korea. Methods A convenience sample of 240 Chinese and Vietnamese smokers studying in colleges, graduate schools, and language programs across the country completed the Chinese and Vietnamese versions of the short form questionnaire from October 2020 to January 2021, through an online survey. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, and logistic regression. Results Analyses showed that 72.1% of participants were in contemplation and preparation stage. There were significant differences in the process of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy depending on the stages of change in smoking cessation. Factors influencing smoking cessation intention were consciousness raising (Odds Radio [OR]=1.22, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.00~1.15, p=.047), self-reevaluation (OR=1.40, 95% CI=1.15~1.70, p=.001), cons of smoking (OR=1.18, 95% CI=1.00~1.39, p=.045), and self-efficacy (OR=1.08, 95% CI=1.00~1.15, p=039). Conclusion The results provide support on the advantages of including the concepts of consciousness raising, self-reevaluation, negative aspects of smoking (cons), and self-efficacy in intervention program development for smoking cessation.

Purpose This study aimed to identify subjective health status and specific self-efficacy, and their mediating effects on the relationship between health literacy and self-care behavior in stomach cancer patients following gastrectomy. Methods A descriptive survey design was used. Data were collected from 131 gastric cancer patients between 17 February and 10 September, 2020 at a cancer center in Gyeonggi-Do. The participants responded to a self-reporting questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the bootstrapping method with SPSS/WIN 25.0 and PROCESS macro program. Results The mean score for self-care behavior was 66.78±8.36. Self-care behavior was significantly associated with health literacy, subjective health status, and specific self-efficacy. The mediating effect of specific self-efficacy on the impact of health literacy on self-care behavior was confirmed. Conclusion The impact of health literacy on self-care behavior was mediated by specific self-efficacy in stomach cancer patients following gastrectomy. Further, the results suggest that specific self-efficacy needs to be considered in developing nursing interventions to enhance health literacy and improve self-care behavior for stomach cancer patients after gastrectomy.

Purpose This study aimed to construct and test the Actor and Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) of aging anxiety of middle-aged couples based on Social Cognitive Theory and the “Crossover” concept. Methods Couples’ data were collected from 192 middle-aged couples. Results Actor effects and partner effects were supported in the two APIMeM models. Regarding the wives' aging anxiety, the actor effect of their climacteric symptoms and their cognition (husband climacteric symptoms) was mediated by their self-efficacy. Similarly, the partner effect of the husbands' cognition (wife climacteric symptoms) was also mediated by their husbands' self-efficacy. Considering the husbands' aging anxiety, the actor effect of the husbands' climacteric symptoms and the husbands' cognition (wife climacteric symptoms) was mediated by the wives' self-efficacy. The partner effect of the wives' climacteric symptoms and their cognition (husband climacteric symptoms) was mediated by the husbands' self-efficacy. Conclusion To reduce the aging anxiety of middle-aged couples and to reach a healthy old age, it is essential for a wife and husband to realize this together. It is considered that the aging anxiety of middle-aged couples will be more effectively prevented by implementing an interactive program to enhance self-efficacy, which has been identified as an important parameter of the actor-partner effect.
Purpose The study sought to investigate the relationships between beliefs about medications, self-efficacy of medication use, social support and medication adherence, and the general factors associated with medication adherence among the elderly living with chronic disease.
Methods: This study took the form of a descriptive survey involving 222 elderly outpatients - aged 65 years or older - who visited S medical center, located in S city. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires from July to August 2019. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and a hierarchical multiple regression via the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.
Results: The mean score for medication adherence was 61.80±10.19 (range 16~80). Participants' medication adherence positively correlated with beliefs about medications (r=.17, p=.012), self-efficacy for medication use (r=.31, p<.001) and social support (r=.20, p=.003). Frequency of alcohol consumption (β=-.20, p=.001), burden level of medical costs (β=-.18, p=.012), experience of side-effects (β=-.21, p=.001), medication-taking education (β=.17, p=.008), beliefs about medication (β=.13, p=.038), and self-efficacy for medication use (β=.19, p=.004) explained for 24.9% of medication adherence (F=6.23, p<.001).
Conclusion: It is necessary to consider the beliefs about medication and self-efficacy for medication use when developing educational programs aimed at improving medication adherence among the elderly living with chronic diseases.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of self-care performance between Self-Care Efficacy (SCE) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among patients on primary treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A structured self-report survey was conducted with 143 patients on primary treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, hierarchical multiple linear regression, and Sobel test. Results There were significant correlations between participants’ SCE and self-care performance (r=.62, p<.001), SCE and HRQoL (r=.44, p<.001), and self-care performance and HRQoL (r=.54, p<.001). Self-care performance completely mediated the relationship between SCE and HRQoL (z=3.72, p<.001). Conclusion It is necessary to develop interventions for reinforcing SCE, focusing on low self-care groups, to ultimately improve the HRQoL of patients on primary treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.

PURPOSE This study aimed to construct and test the structural relationships between self efficacy and clinical performance among undergraduate nursing students. The model was based on Bandura's self efficacy theory and a review of previous studies. The hypothesized model included emotional intelligence as a personal factor, self efficacy as self efficacy beliefs, problem solving ability as a skill, and clinical performance as a performance. METHODS Data were collected from June 23 to August 11, 2014 using structured questionnaires. The study sample was 205 senior nursing students. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. RESULTS The hypothesized model was shown to be χ2=183.186 (dF=118), Goodness-of- Fit Index (GFI)=.91, Normed Fit Index (NFI)=.91, Comparative Fit Index (CFI)=.96, and Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA)=.05. Self efficacy (β=.29 p=.033) and problem solving ability (β=.42 p=.007) had a direct effect on the clinical performance. Furthermore, self efficacy had mediating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and clinical performance. CONCLUSION These findings provide that when developing nursing curriculum and intervention programs, self efficacy and problem solving ability should be considered as key factors facilitating the clinical performance of nursing students. Moreover, consideration should be given to the indirect effects of emotional intelligence subscales on clinical performance via self efficacy and problem solving ability.

PURPOSE Although many studies have reported the high-stress levels of clinical nurses, there are few studies regarding the stress of clinical nurses who are concurrently working and studying as graduate students. This study investigated the stress, self-efficacy, and context of stress experienced by clinical nurses in graduate school. METHODS Explanatory sequential strategy of mixed method was used. Stress and self-efficacy were quantitatively analyzed by general and academic characteristics of 61 nurses. The effect of self-efficacy on stress and the conditional effect of the years employed were investigated through conditional process analysis. Stress and related contextual aspects were explored through focus group interviews, differentiated by the number of years employed, with 22 nurses in June of 2018. RESULTS The average score of self-efficacy was 3.42±0.53, and stress was 2.88±0.60, out of 5 points. There were no differences in self-efficacy and stress according to demographics and academic characteristics. The moderation effect of the number of years employed on stress was present for those nurses with under 8.88 years of experience. Nurses who had under 9 years of work experience endured a busy schedule full of study and work. On the other hand, participants with more than 9 years of work experience reported having household chores or childcare, so their academic career was less of a priority, and they faced incrementally increasing physical illness or strain in their family life. CONCLUSION Since graduate school provides clinical nurses with the opportunity to further advance within the nursing field, a supportive environment is imperative.

PURPOSE This study aimed to explore medication adherence and its related factors, stigma, self-efficacy, and sense of coherence in patients with tuberculosis. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 130 adult outpatients with tuberculosis at a university hospital in Busan during from May 1 to August 21, 2017. The data were collected using structured questionnaires comprising research instruments measuring medication adherence, stigma, self-efficacy, and sense of coherence and face-to-face interviews and medical records for treatment delays and participant characteristics. The SPSS/WIN 22.0 program for descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The mean score for medication adherence was 4.86±1.48. The factors related to medication adherence in adult outpatients with tuberculosis were stigma (β=−.23, p=.004), self-efficacy (β=.20, p=.036), perceived family support (β=.19, p=.012), and alcohol (β=−.19, p=.021), which explained 38.9% of the variance in medication adherence. CONCLUSION The study results suggest that a nursing intervention must be designed to reduce stigma, improve self-efficacy, promote family support, and stop alcohol consumption in order to enhance the medication adherence in adult patients with tuberculosis. Efforts need to educate and encourage tuberculosis patients to adhere strictly to their drugs and conduct various campaigns against the negative perception of tuberculosis.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the willingness of family members to perform the CPR to their loved one with heart disease. METHODS 226 participants whose family member is hospitalized with heart disease were recruited from two hospitals in Daegu city. Data were collected by using questionnaires which included demographic characteristics, factors including knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy and the willingness to perform CPR. RESULTS Participants reported on their level of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of CPR at the following levels: 9.16±2.66, 35.55±5.56, and 63.83±19.37 respectively. Only 53% of the participants reported prior CPR training, and 67.7% indicated that they would be willing to perform CPR to their family member with heart disease. Of the participants without prior CPR training, 34% reported that they did not recognize the importance of CPR training. Participants reported attitude (p=.002) and self-efficacy (p=.040) predicted willingness to perform CPR. Age (p < .001), gender (p=.004), educational level (p < .001), occupation (p < .001), prior CPR training (p < .001) were related to willingness to perform CPR. CONCLUSION This study findings suggest that it is necessary to develop educational programs for public to improve competent CPR performance.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effects of self-efficacy and family support in the relationship between illness perception and health behaviors among patients with tuberculosis. METHODS A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 219 patients with tuberculosis from one general hospital in D city in Korea. The participants took medication over a two months period. Data were collected from four self-reported questionnaires including Health behaviors Questionnaire and Family Support Questionnaire. Of the four questionnaires, Venereal Disease Education Health Belief Model Scales and Health Belief Model Scales were modified for this study population with tuberculosis. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS statistics 23.0 program. RESULTS A positive correlation existed between health behaviors and illness perception (r=0.80, p < .001), self-efficacy (r=0.66, p < .001), and family support (r=0.73, p < .001). Self-efficacy and family support had partial mediating effect on the relationship between illness perception and health behaviors. CONCLUSION Theses results indicated that in order to improve the health behaviors of patients with tuberculosis, it is necessary to develop a management plan that focuses not only on the illness perception but also on the self-efficacy and the role of the family support.

PURPOSE This study was to develop the patient-tailored education and counseling program (PTECP) for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to identify the effects of PTECP on awareness of risk factors, knowledge, self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and blood cholesterol profile (BCP). METHODS A non-equivalent control group pre-post design was used. Sixty patients who were newly diagnosed with CAD and treated PCI were recruited and participated either in an intervention group or a control group, thirty each. The PTECP focused on managing their own risk factors consisted of two individual educations, two individual counselings, three telephone counselings, and two short message services for eight weeks. Data were collected two times at baseline and 8 weeks after beginning of the program. RESULTS After eight weeks, the patients' awareness of risk factor (p < .001), knowledge (p=.015), self-efficacy (p < .001), and self-care behavior (p < .001) in the intervention group were significantly different from those of the control group. However, no difference in BCP was found between the groups. CONCLUSION The PTECP was effective in improving the patients' awareness of CAD risk factors, knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-care behavior. Successful PTECP might lead to better health outcome in patients with CAD through effective self-management.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine their levels of knowledge of the kidney, self-efficacy, and kidney function in pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency. METHODS A total of 142 pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency were recruited from a nephrology clinic of a hospital in Korea. Participants' knowledge of the kidney, self-efficacy, and kidney function were measured, and the correlations between these factors were computed. RESULTS The levels of knowledge of the kidney were moderate, with a mean score of 12.30+/-5.35. Knowledge level was significantly correlated with age, education level, occupation, income, physical symptoms, and information resources (p<.05). The mean score for self-efficacy was 6.06+/-2.00. Self-efficacy was significantly associated with patients` age, education level, occupation, income, cigarette use, and information resources (p<.05). The mean score for kidney function was 35.66+/-18.68 mL/min/1.73 m2. Kidney function was significantly correlated with use of medications and drinking behavior (p<.05). Knowledge of the kidney was significantly correlated with self-efficacy (r=.31, p<.001), but not with kidney function. There was a significant correlation between self-efficacy and kidney function (r=.30, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy and drinking behavior accounted for 11% of the variance in kidney function of pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency. CONCLUSION Nursing interventions are necessary to increase self-efficacy among pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal insufficiency in order to maintain their kidney function.

PURPOSE This study was conducted to test the impact of simulation-based education program for emergency airway management on self-efficacy and clinical performance ability. METHODS A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pre-post test design was used. A total of 60 nurses, 30 nurses assigned to the simulation-based education group and 30 nurses to a traditional lecture group. The treatment group received a lecture, small group workshop and team simulation whereas the comparison group received lectures. RESULTS The participants in the simulation-based education group reported significantly higher self-efficacy of emergency airway management compared to participants in the lecture only group (t=5.985, p<.001). The simulation-based education group showed significantly higher clinical performance ability of emergency airway management compared with the lecture group (t=5.532, p<.001). CONCLUSION Simulation-based education was verified to be an effective teaching method to improve the self-efficacy, clinical performance skills of nurses in the learning of emergency airway management.

PURPOSE This study was designed to explore and compare the self efficacy, social support, and quality of life between middle-aged Korean and Chinese women. METHODS: The sample included 430 (Korean: 220, Chinese: 210) middle-aged women. Study instruments were the Self Efficacy Scale developed by Shere et al (1982), the Social Support Scale modified and based on Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) developed by Cohen and Hoberman (1983), and The Quality of Life Scale (SF-36) developed by Ware and Book (1981). Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 16 version. RESULTS: Korean women reported more self efficacy and better quality of life than the Chinese women. The quality of life scores between middle-aged Korean and Chinese women showed a statistical significant difference. Self efficacy and quality of life scores reported by middle-aged Korean and Chinese women were below the reported standards of the instruments. In contrast to the other scores, Chinese women reported more social support than Korean women. CONCLUSION: The findings add to the body of literature about Chinese and Korean middle aged women. Additional research is needed to explain the differences among the two groups but the findings can inform the practicing nurse who works with these populations.
PURPOSE This study was to identify the relationship between knowledge, self efficacy, and self care behavior regarding foot care among elderly diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. METHODS The subjects consisted of 146 elderly with DM. The data collected from February to October 2008 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS The mean scores of knowledge (13.21 +/- 1.99), self efficacy (2.23 +/- 0.54), and self care behavior (2.29 +/- 0.51) regarding foot care were moderate. The level of knowledge was significantly different according to education about DM (p = .012) and drinking (p = .007). Self efficacy was significantly different according to gender (p = .019), educational level (p = .014), spouse (p = .048), disease period (p = .000), admission of DM (p = .000), complication of DM (p = .001), education of DM (p = .023). Self care behavior was significantly different according to educational state (p = .003), disease period (p = .039), and other disease (p = .000). Significant correlations were found between knowledge and self care behavior (p = .001), self efficacy and self care behavior (p = .000), knowledge and self efficacy(p = .012). Knowledge and self efficacy were a predictor of self care behavior (18.2%). CONCLUSION These findings indicate that perceived knowledge and self efficacy may be necessities to improve self care behavior regarding foot care among elderly DM patients. The above mentioned results will be reflected in developing patient educational programs.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of professional self-concept and self-efficacy on job satisfaction and to identify the relationship among them in clinical nurses. METHODS The subjects were nurses who were working for three general hospitals in Seoul and Gangwon province for two month starting in July 2007. Three questionnaires were used. One was job satisfaction and the others were professional self-concept and self-efficacy. The data were analyzed by SPSS/PC ver 12.0. RESULTS The mean score of job satisfaction was 2.99 (range: 1-5). The mean score of professional self-concept and self-efficacy were 2.71(range: 1-4) and 3.49(range: 1-5), respectively. Differences of job satisfaction were significantly related to differences in age, marital status, level of education, clinical career, annual salary, and shift pattern. With respect to job satisfaction, the pearson correlation coefficients were .43 for professional self-concept and .29 for self-efficacy. The multiple regression revealed that the significant predictor of job satisfaction was professional self-concept. CONCLUSION This study showed that a strong professional self-concept improves job satisfaction, so professional self-concept improvement programs should be developed to improve job satisfaction and to improve the quality of nursing.
PURPOSE This study investigated the effects of a 'overcoming cancer program' on knowledge, self efficacy, and quality of life, therapeutic compliance for patients with lung cancer. METHOD Research design of this study was a nonequivalent control group quasi-experimental study. Subjects for this study were 16 lung cancer patients for the control group, and 12 lung cancer patients for the experimental group. The experimental group participated in the program once a week for 4 weeks. Data were collected before and after the program. Nonparametric statistics were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The results of this study were as follows: In the pretest, there were no significant differences in general characteristics, knowledge, self efficacy and quality of life between the two groups. In the posttest, there were significant differences in knowledge, self efficacy between the experimental and the control groups. But there were no significant differences in therapeutic compliance and quality of life between the two groups. CONCLUSION From the results above, it can be concluded that program was effective to improve knowledge and self-efficacy for patients with lung cancer.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetic patients. METHOD Data were collected from November, 2003 to June, 2004 using a physiological index and questionnaires. Patients(N=159) aged 40 and above were conveniently recruited from health care centers in B city. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS WIN 10.0 program. RESULTS The cardiovascular risk factors were negatively related with female gender, household monthly income, educational experience about diabetes, physical activity, self-care, self-efficacy and problem oriented coping, while positively related with the duration of diabetes, diabetic family history and depression. Self-care, diabetic family history, female gender, monthly household income, self-efficacy, affective-oriented coping and physical activity predicted 41.5% of the variance in cardiovascular risk factors of diabetic patients. CONCLUSION According to the findings of this study, we concluded that cardiovascular risk factors of type 2 diabetic patients are related to the modifiable and non-modifiable variables. Self-care, self-efficacy, affective- oriented coping, and physical activity were identified as modifiable variables. Intervention programs to increase those variables are warranted to reduce cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetic patients.
PURPOSE This study was conducted to compare the process of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy according to the stages of change of exercise on the basis of the Transtheoretical Model in order to investigate factors associated with the change of exercise in adult diabetic patients. METHOD Data were collected from January to April 2005. The subjects were 160 patients in the G university hospital and public health center in J city. RESULTS The entire process of change showed the significant difference depending on the stage of change(F=20.007, p=.000). For each process of change, the Consciousness Raising(F=14.602, p=.000), Dramatic Relief(F=7.751, p=.000), Environmental Re-evaluation(F=11.843, p=.000), Self Re-evaluation(F=16.035, p=.000), Social Liberation(F=10.968, p=.000), Counter-conditioning (F=24.090, p=.000), Helping Relationships(F= 7.625, p=.000), Reinforcement Management(F= 16.693, p=.000), Self Liberation(F=11.990, p= .000) and Stimulus Control(F=4.020, p=.002) demonstrated significant differences depending on the stages of change of exercise. For the decisional balance, the Pros showed the significant difference depending on the stage of change(F=14.121, p=.000). For the self efficacy showed significant difference depending on the stage of change(F=17.137, p=.000). CONCLUSION In order to proceed the stage of change of exercise in patients with Diabetes Mellitus, intensive use of a specific process of change, a stage of change matching is needed.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identity the effects of a health promotion program for rural elderly people on self efficacy, health problems, farmers syndrome and quality of life. METHOD The study was a nonequivalent control group pre-post experimental design. The data collection was performed from April 12th, 2003 to August 2nd, 2003. The subjects were selected at Mari Myun Geochang Gun in Korea. Forty-four elders were included in the experimental group and 45 elders were included in the control group. The 16-week health promotion program was given to the experimental group. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square-test, t-test, paired t-test with SPSS/Win 10.0 program. RESULT The experimental group showed a lower scores of health problems and farmers syndrome than the control group, and higher scores of quality of life than the control group. There were no significant differences in self efficacy. CONCLUSION From the above results, it can be concluded that the health promotion program for rural elderly is an effective intervention for improving the rural elderly's quality of life and reducing health problems and farmer's syndrome. Therefore, development of strategy that can spread the health promotion program for rural elderly to the elderly of other rural areas are needed.
PURPOSE This study was to identify the relationship between family support, self-efficacy and self-care performance in patients with chronic illness. METHODS: The subjects were 100 in-and out-patients who were diagnosed with chronic illness at university hospital in Cheonan. The data analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS WIN 12.0. RESULTS: The level of family support, self-efficacy and self-care performance were high. The family support in patients with chronic illness indicated a significant positive correlation to self-care performance but no significant correlation to self-efficacy. The self-efficacy in patients with chronic illness indicated a significant positive correlation to self-care performance. Family support and self-efficacy account for 24.4% of variance of the self-care performance. The most significant predictor which influenced self-care performance in patients with chronic illness was family support. CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that family support and self-efficacy are very important variables in explaining the self-care performance. Therefore, these variables should be considered in nursing intervention development and education.
PURPOSE This study investigated the degree of fatigue of hemodialysis patients, and finds the relationship between fatigue and self-efficacy, family support, and sleep factor. Also, this study was purposed to provide fundamental data to help set up a nursing plan and intervention for recovery and mitigation of hemodialysis patient's fatigue. METHOD: The subjects in this study were patients treated as hemodialysis patients in Kwangjoo City. Data, subjects are 143 patients. Fatigue was measured using Lee's scale(1991), Self-efficacy using Kim's scale(1995), and Family support using Kim's scale(1993). For the analysis of collected data, Cronbach alpha, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Stepwise multiple regression were used for statistical analysis by SPSSwin(version 11.0) program. RESULT: Fatigue degree of hemodialysis patients averaged 4.22. Among 143 hemodialysis patients, 70.63% patients answered that they had felt fatigue as noted in this study. The weariest time was after hemodialysis for 21.0% patients. There was significant difference according to the diagnosis period. The patients who were diagnosed over one year had felt more fatigue than ones who were diagnosed within one year. Fatigue was significantly associated with self-efficacy, family support, and sleep factor. Self-efficacy could explain 14.6% of fatigue. CONCLUSION: The fatigue degree relates with all, self-efficacy, family support, and sleep factor. Especially, it is affected by self-efficacy among them. Thus, the program should be developed to mitigate fatigue as the self-efficacy of hemodialysis is enhanced.
PURPOSE The study was performed to identify the process of change, decisional balance and self-efficacy corresponding to the stage of smoking cessation behavior based on Transtheoretical Model in industrial workers. METHOD A convenience sample of 146 industrial workers except for the never smokers, were recruited at a H industry in Ulsan. Data were collected from February 1 to 28, 2002. The research instruments were Stages of Change of Smoking Cessation Measure(DiClemente et al, 1991), Process of change(Prochaska, 1988), Smoking Abstinence Self Efficacy (SASE: DiClemente et al, 1985) and Decisional balance(SDB; Kim, 1999). RESULT The results of this study were as follows; 1. The subjects were distributed in each stage of smoking cessation change: There were 64 subjects (43.0%) in the precontemplation stage, 35 subjects(23.5%) in the contemplation stage, 28 subjects(18.8%) in the preparation stage, 14 subjects(10.1%) in the action stage and 7 subjects(4.7%) in the maintenance stage. 2. Analysis of variance showed that experiental process(F=2.808, p=.042), behavioral process (F=4.567, p=.004) self-efficacy(F=9.809, p=.000), pros(F=11.107, p=.000), cons(F=6.686, p=.000), pros- cons(F=3.446, p=.018) were significantly associated with the stages of smoking cessation change. 3. Through discriminant analysis, it was found that 'PROS' was the most influential variable in discriminating the four stages of change. CONCLUSION This study can provide the basis of staged matching smoking cessation program using TTM for more effective and useful intervention.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the Self Efficacy Promotion and Exercise Training Program to decrease anxiety and depression and to increase the quality of life for kidney transplant recipients. The subjects were selected randomly among the patients who underwent renal transplant at three major transplantation hospitals in Seoul, Korea. The observed subjects in this study consisted of 56 patients who had renal transplantations between one to twelve months prior to this study. The patients did not take any regular physical exercise. This study was carried out between November, 1999 and March, 2000. The study groups were divided into 3 groups; exercise training group (n=16), self efficacy group (n=18) and control group (n=22). The exercise training group received self efficacy promotion and exercise training program for 12 weeks. The self efficacy group received self efficacy promotion education, but no exercise training was given. The control group was not offered any education. The anxiety, depression and quality of life were evaluated 3 times, before the experiment, after 8 weeks and after 12 weeks. The data were analyzed with mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, ANOVA and Scheff test. The results were as follows: 1. After the experiment, anxiety and depression scores of the exercise training group and self efficacy group were more significantly decreased than those of the control group (p=.05). 2. After the experiment, the quality of life score of the exercise training group and self efficacy group were more significantly increased than those of the control group (p=.05). This study showed that the Self Efficacy and Exercise Training Programs were effective. Therefore, it is expected that the Self Efficacy Promotion and Exercise Training Program could be widely applied as an effective independent nursing intervention to decrease anxiety and depression and to increase quality of life for kidney transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the Self Efficacy Promotion and Exercise Program to prevent of obesity and cardiovascular diseases for the kidney transplant recipients. The subjects were selected randomly among the patients who underwent kidney transplantations at one major transplantation hospital in Seoul, Korea. This study ws carried out between November 23, 1999 and February 15, 2000. The subjects in this study consisted of 16 patients who had kidney transplantations between 1 month and 12 months ago prior to this study. They were all on steroids therapy and did not take any physical exercise regularly. The subjects received the self efficacy promotion and exercise program for 12 weeks which contained self efficacy promotion education and exercise program. The weight, body fat rate, exercise time and cardiopulmonary function were evaluated before the experiment and after the experiment. The results were as follows: 1. After the experiment, the weight was significantly decreased than that of before the experiment(p=.0001). 2. After the experiment, the body fat rate was significantly decreased than that of before the experiment(p=.0010). 3. After the experiment, the exercise time was significantly increased than that of before the experiment(p=.0002). 4. After the experiment, the absolute VO2 was significantly increased than that of before the experiment(p=.0008). 5. After the experiment, the relative VO2 was significantly increased than that of before the experiment(p=.0002). This study showed that the self efficacy promotion and exercise program was effective. So it would be expected that this self efficacy promotion and exercise program could be applied as an effective independent nursing intervention widely in prevention of obesity and cardiovascular diseases for kidney transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study was to explain the relationship of professional self-concept, self-efficacy and job satisfaction among nephrology nurses. The subject consisted of 84 nephrology nurses who work at 17 hospitals in Kwangju, Chonnam, Chonbuk and Cheju-do. The instrument of this study was a structured questionnaire on professional self-concept, self-efficacy and job satisfaction. The data were collected from August 16 to September 10, 1999 and analyzed by Cronbach alpha, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and Pearson's correlation coefficient by using the SPSS/PC+ program. The results of the research were as follows: 1. The average item scores were 2.73 for professional self-concept and 7.16 for self-efficacy. The average item score of job satisfaction was 3.05. Professional status (3.56) among the component factors of the job satisfaction had the highest value followed by the interaction(3.46), task requirements(3.28), autonomy(2.98), organizational requirement(2.70), and pay(2.22) was the lowest. 2. The relationship between general characteristics and professional self-concept shows a significant difference with regard to position and the nurses' intention to stay. The relationship between general characteristics and self-efficacy shows a significant difference with regard to position and shift. 3. A significant positive correlation between professional self-concept and self-efficacy (r=0.462, p<0.01) was found. A significant positive correlation between professional self-concept and job satisfaction(r=0.486, p<0.01) was found. In conclusion, professional self-concept and job satisfaction of nephrology nurses are significantly related. A professional self-concept is an important factor for job satisfaction of nephrology nurses. Therefore, this study suggested that we should develop programs and policies to increase the professional self-concept of nephrology nurses for their job satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of personal characteristics and metamemory on the older adults' memory performances and the effects of some factors on metamemory. The subjects of the study consisted of 102 old adults over the age of 60 who are living in Kangwon Province. Based on contextual perspectives of the memory-aging theory and the previous foreign researches on memory, some data were collected by means of the interview method, using questionnaires for metamemory(MIA questionnaire by Dixon, et al., 1988), and depression(GDS by Yesavage and Sheikl, 1986). The other data were collected by the testing method on the memory performance such as the immeadiate word recall task, the delayed word recall task, the word recognition task(Elderly Verbal Learning Test by Kyung Mi Choi, 1998),and the face recognition task(Face Recognition Task tool developed by this study). The results of this study were as follows; 1. The level of metamemory is 3.4 points in the 5 point scale, the grades of the task and the achievement are relatively high and the grades of the change, the control, and the strategy are relatively low in the sub-concepts. 2. The significant variables to predict old adults' metamemory are depression level, age, sex, educational attainment and religious activity. 3. The strong variables to predict memory performances are memory knowledge, memory self-efficacy, age, religious activity. 4. The strategy, the achievement, the locus, and the change concept of the metamemory have high correlations with the immediate recall task, the delayed recall task, and the word recognition task. In conclusion, the enhancement strategies of metamemory and the support of social activities are independent fields for nursing intervention. Ultimately in this respect nurses' roles are very important in developing and performing some intervention programs for old adults' memory improvement, which have significant meanings in the field of nursing science.
