PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 8 weeks smoking cessation program(SCP) developed by researchers. METHOD: One group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The subjects were 88 male university students who consented to participate in the 8 weeks SCP. The SCP in this study consisted of a stop-smoking class, e-mail, SMS(short message service), cellular phone, internet cafe, displayed panel, and patch or acupuncture for quitting smoking. Korean version of questionnaire for nicotine dependency by Ahn et al.(2002), the smoking self-efficacy scale translated by Choi(1999) and subjects' opinion about the SCP were measured. The data were analyzed by using frequency, Chi-Square test, paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS WIN 10.1 Program. RESULTS: 1) The rate of quitting smoking was 31.8% after 8 weeks SCP. 2) There was no significant decrease in the nicotine dependency score among smoking subjects after SCP. 3) There was a significant increase in self-efficacy after SCP. The mean score of self -efficacy in the quitting smoking group increased significantly, but did not significantly change in the smoking group. 4) The stop-smoking class was the most helpful among contents of the SCP. Contents of the SCP except for internet cafe were useful for quitting smoking in this study. CONCLUSION: The above results indicated that the 8 weeks SCP would be a helpful intervention to quit smoking for male university students.

PURPOSE
The Purposes of this study were to examine the effects of Koryo-Sooji-Chim (30minutes * 2times/week * 2weeks) on menstrual pain and menstrual symptoms of female university students with dysmenorrhea. METHOD: The subjects were 22 female students with dysmenorrhea, 12 experimental group, 10 control group, studying at K university in Chungnam province. The data were collected through questionnaires from September 1st to November 30th 2003 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, X2-test, Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney test. RESULT: 1. The menstrual pain scores were significantly different between the two groups(U=16.0, p=.001). 2. The menstrual symptom scores were significantly different between the two groups(U=28.5, p=.038). CONCLUSION: These findings showed that Koryo-Sooji-Chim was effective related to menstrual pain and menstrual symptoms of female university students with dysmenorrhea. Koryo-Sooji-Chim during dysmenorrhea could be applied as an effective nursing intervention.

The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of Health Promoting Lifestyle Practices among university students. The survey data used in this study were collected from 282 students of one university in Chungju City. The instruments of this study was a structured questionnaire included health promoting lifestyle scale developed Walker, et al., and sociodemographic characteristics. Analysis of data was done by use of mean, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, DUNCAN's multiple-range test and Pearson's correlation coefficients with SAS/pc program. Major findings are as follows : 1. The average score for the health promoting lifestyle practices was low at 103.5. In the subcategories, the highest degree of performance was interpersonal support(2.77), and the lowest degree was health responsibility(1.49). 2. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of health promoting lifestyle practices according to sex(t=1.6997, p=.000), grade(F=8.82, p=.000). 3. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of self-actualization according to grade(F=6.48, p=.002), college(F=2.58, p=.038). There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of health responsibility, exercise, stress management according to sex(t=4.3155, p=.000 ; t=6.2652, p=.000 ; t=1.7244, p=.0012), grade(F=4.28, p=.0018 ; F=4.46, p=.011 ;F=5.76, p=.004). There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of nutrition according to grade(F=5.80, p=.003). 4. Significant correlations were found between most of the subcategories and total health promoting lifestyle. Therefore, the findings of research can serve as the basis for developing health-promoting programs in General Education Courses among university students.
