Abstract PDF: Background
Evaluative compartmentalization is the tendency to segregate positively and negatively valenced self-beliefs into separate self-aspects. This study examined whether there were differences in reflection and personal growth based on the level of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance.
Methods
A total of 296 undergraduate and graduate students reported self-aspect test, and answered questions about reflection and personal growth via online surveys. The participants were divided based on the level (high or low) of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance. The effects of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance on the dependent variables were examined. The data were analyzed using two-way multivariate analysis of covariance (two-way MANCOVA).
Results
The main effect of evaluative compartmentalization was significant for reflection and personal growth. The main effect of differential importance was significant for personal growth. The interaction effect of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance was insignificant for any dependent variable.
Conclusions
The findings suggest a need for intervention for integrating self-concept structure and improving differential importance for graduate and undergraduate students.

Background
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of pain management knowledge, pain management self-efficacy, and empathic capacity on the pain management performance of orthopedic unit nurses.
Methods
This study employed a cross-sectional design using the survey. Participants were 110 orthopedic unit nurses from five university hospitals located in the B, U, and I metropolitan cities. Data collection was carried out from February 1, 2019 to March 6, 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis with IBM SPSS WIN 25.0 program.
Results
Pain management performance had statistically significant positive relationships with pain management self-efficacy (r=.46, p＜.001) and empathic capacity (r=.38, p＜.001). Regarding the factors that have an influence on pain management performance, pain management self-efficacy (β=.33, p=.001), empathic capacity (β=.21, p=.024), and experience in pain management education (β=.18, p=.032) were the significant factors. These variables explained 26.1% of the pain management performance in orthopedic unit nurses.
Conclusions
The findings would be used as a basis for effective strategies for pain management by orthopedic unit nurses in the future.
