The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of perceived stress, fine dust risk perception, and resilience in patients with respiratory and circulatory disorders, and investigate the relationship between these variables.

A questionnaire survey was conducted on 184 patients with respiratory and circulatory diseases over the age of 20 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression analysis using the SPSS program.

The study found perceived stress, resilience, family relationship, and type of disease to be factors affecting the stress response of people with respiratory and circulatory disorders.

Understanding the perceived stress, resilience, family relationship, and type of respiratory and circulatory disorder prevents stress response and contributes to stress nursing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychiatric comorbidity rates, severity of psychological disorders, and factors predicting cormorbidities in disaster victims with PTSD.

Three hundred and fifty-three disaster victims who scored over the threshold to be classified as potentially meeting criteria for PTSD were selected data from Long-term Investigation of Disaster Victims and Development of Life-Friendly Relief Policy Technology in South Korea.

First, total comorbidity rate of depression or anxiety disorder only and both depression and anxiety disorder in individuals with PTSD was found in 37.4%. Second, the severity of psychological disorders increased with the number of comorbid disorders. Third, factors predicting comorbidities were sex (women), marital status (unmarried), economic distress (monthly income reduction and recipient of basic living) and low resilience.

The findings may help to identify vulnerable individuals that may develop other psychological disorders in individuals with PTSD and maximize treatment effects.

This study was intended to investigate the level of technostress, teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and the relationships with colleagues of early childhood teachers. It was also intended to identify correlations between these four variables, and any moderating effects of ego-resilience, and relationship with colleagues on the association of technostress and teaching efficacy.

The data were collected from 202 early childhood teachers in Seoul and Kyoung-gi province, from September 3, 2018 to September 29, 2018, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program.

The results showed technostress at a moderate level, and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague at slightly higher levels. There were negative associations between technostress and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers, and positive associations among teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers. A partial moderating effect of ego-resilience and relationship with colleague teachers on the association between technostress and teaching efficacy, was found.

These results suggest that the effects of a high level of technostress on teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers could be alleviated dependant on the levels of ego-resilience and relationship with colleagues.

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effects of resilience on the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior in female college students.

We investigated the relationships among interpersonal stress, resilience, and binge eating behavior of 213 female college students, and examined the moderating effects of resilience and its subcomponents (sense of control, sociality, and positivity) on the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior through hierarchical multiple regression analysis.

Firstly, interpersonal stress indicated significant negative correlation with resilience and indicated significant positive correlation with binge eating behavior. Resilience and binge eating behavior indicated significant negative correlation. Secondly, resilience did not moderate the relation between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students. However, the sense of control, an aspect of resilience, moderated the relationship between interpersonal stress and binge eating behavior of female college students.

The results of this study suggest that higher interpersonal stress may increase the risk for binge eating behavior and that higher resilience may protect against binge eating behavior. The sense of control, an aspect of resilience, may enhance associations between interpersonal stress and binge eating behaviors in female college students.

This study aims to explore the relations of psychological characteristics of golfing and psychological protective factors proven in previous studies to golf stresses of amateur golfers.

The participants were 204 amateur golfers. Data were analyzed by Pearson product-moment correlation and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS 23.0.

The results indicated that academic and intuitive approaches styles, golf-efficacy, and physical or social expectancy for golfing were positively correlated with golf stresses. Resilience and self-regulation were negatively correlated with golf stresses. Stepwise regression analysis showed that norm regulation accounted 35.5% variance of golf stresses, and confidence in golf, self-confidence, composure regulation, and cognitive approach to golf were also predictors.

Since this study has been conducted on an exploratory basis, some results of this study must be reverified, and a number of studies are expected to conduct based on the results.

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of resilience and social support to analyze that call center consultants’ emotional labor impacts on the burnout.

A survey questionnaire was conducted to people who work at call center in Gwangju and Deagu. The data from 444 were analyzed.

The result from the hierarchical multiple regression is as follows. First, deep acting decreased burnout, but surface acting of emotional labor increased burnout. Also, frequency of emotion display, variety of emotion required to be expressed and attentiveness to required display rules increased burnout. Second, Resilience had moderating effect between deep acting and burnout. Third, the moderate effect of interaction of social support from leader with surface action was found at burnout. Also, moderating effect of social support from leader were shown in frequency of emotion display with burnout and attentiveness to required display rules with burnout. Fourth, social support from colleague did not have buffering effect on emotional labor and burnout.

It is expected that the moderator variables identified in this study can be used for prevention and treatment of burnout caused by emotional labor.

This study was conducted to identify factors affecting perceived stress for cancer patients.

A total of 104 cancer patients in a university hospital located in J province were participated. After IRB approval, the study period was between April and September, 2017, and the data were collected using by structured questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression using SPSS 22.0 statistical program.

The average score of uncertainty, resilience, and stress were 96.17, 88.54, and 17.76. As resilience, there were significant differences by spouse (t=−2.042, p=.044) and pain. As stress perceived, there were significant differences by spouse (t=−2.304, p=.023) and pain (t=2.097, p=.038). There were significantly positive correlations stress and uncertainty (r=.286, p=<.001). In addition there were significantly negative correlation between stress resilience (r=−.287, p=.003). In this study factors affecting stress perceived were spouse (β=.337, p<.001),resilience (β=−.335, p<.001), pain (β=.206, p=.023) and uncertainty (β=.204, p=.022). The factors explained 32% of perceived stress.

Therefore, it is suggested that strategies of pain management and nursing intervention for strengthening emotional support including uncertainty and resilience management for cancer patients.
