Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the depressive change and predictors of chronic illnesses and to examine whether depressive change predictors are different according to chronic disease types. Methods : Data from the 1st to the 10th year of the Korean Welfare Panel of 5,023 adults over 20 years of age who were treated for chronic diseases for more than three months were examined. We assessed demographic, sociological, and socioeconomic factors including depression predictors of chronically ill patients, and analyzed the data using latent growth modeling and multiple group analysis. Results : Depression symptoms of chronically ill patients gradually decreased, showing a linear relationship across time. In addition, multiple group analysis was performed for each type of chronic disease. Conclusions : We described the phenomenon of depression in chronically ill patients, and discussed the practical and policy interventions required to improve depression in chronically ill patients.

With the diverse digitalization of museum service, online reservation system of museum has been one of the management strategies to enhance museum visitors’ experience. The study integrates Information System Success Model and Technology Acceptance Model with the moderating role of generational differences to explore the psychological mechanism of visitors’ usage intention. As results, it was empirically investigated that museum visitors perceived ease of use didn’t predict their usage intention for the whole sample. While other proposed relationships have all been confirmed. Moreover, X and Z generational discrepancies exist on the relationship between perceived ease of use and usage intention. Consequently, the study could provide implications to the promotion of digitalized service of museum and generational differences confirmed by the present study could serve as a research paradigm for future research pertinent to online reservation of museums.

본 연구에서는 대학생의 자기효능감이 생활만족에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 공동체의식의 매개효과를 검증함과 동시에 성별에 따른 차이를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 수도권 소재 대학교에 재학중인 남녀 대학생 각 200명씩 총 400명으로부터 자료를 수집하여 구조모형분석 및 다집단분석을 시행하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 자기효능감은 생활만족에 유의한 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 공동체의식은 자기효능감이 생활만족에 미치는 영향을 유의하게 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 자기효능감이 생활만족에 미치는 영향에서 공동체의식의 매개효과가 성별에 따라 유의하게 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 여학생의 경우 공동체의식의 매개효과가 유의하였으나, 남학생의 경우 공동체의식의 매개효과가 유의하지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 대학생의 삶의 만족 증진을 돕기 위한 상담 및 교육 프로그램을 구성할 때, 참여자의 성별에 따라 프로그램의 전략과 구성요소에서 초점을 달리해야 함을 제안하는 바이다.

This study attempted to verify the effect of university students' self-efficacy on life satisfaction and the mediating effect of sense of community in the process, as well as to confirm gender differences. For this purpose, structural model analysis and multi-group analysis were conducted by collecting data from a total of 400 students, 200 male and female undergraduates enrolled in a university in the Seoul metropolitan area. As a result of the analysis, first, self-efficacy had a significant positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, it was found that sense of community significantly mediated the effect of self-efficacy on life satisfaction. Third, in the effect of self-efficacy on life satisfaction, it was found that the mediating effect of sense of community differed significantly according to gender. In the case of female students, the mediating effect of sense of community was significant, but in the case of male students, the mediating effect of sense of community was not. Based on these results, it is suggested that when constructing counseling and educational programs to help undergraduates improve their life satisfaction, the focus should be different in the program's strategy and components according to the gender of the participants.

Purpose: This study developed and tested a hypothetical model of health promotion behavior on migrant workers based on the Health Promotion Model and the Health Literacy Skills Framework. Methods: Data were collected from 298 migrant workers in 9 regions across the country from December 2020 to March 2021. The exogenous variables were e-health literacy, occupational stress, acculturation, and social support. The endogenous variables were perceived benefits of action, self-efficacy, and health promotion behavior. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0, AMOS 20.0, and R-4.0.3 program. Results: The model fit was appropriate. Social support had the most significant direct impact on the health promotion behavior of migrant workers. Perceived benefits of action and self-efficacy played a mediating role in the relationship among e-health literacy, social support, and health promotion behavior. Based on multi-group analysis, the migrant worker group with less than 5 years of residency had a more statistically significant effect on the relationship between perceived benefits of action and health promotion behavior than those with over 5 years. Conclusion: Providing social support as a critical administrative strategy to enhance the health promotion behavior of migrant workers is necessary. Furthermore, when developing an intervention program utilizing the internal mechanism between social support and health promotion behavior, a self-efficacy-enhancing strategy is considered to be more effective. Additionally, educating migrant workers with short-term residence of less than 5 years about the benefits of health behaviors is essential.
