영어 전치사 ‘of’는 [X of Y]의 형식을 가지고 한 개체가 다른 개체의 내재적이며 제한된 하위 부분에 해당하는 종속관계로 두 개체 사이에는 특별한 관계에 놓여있는 것으로 보고 있다. 또한 X는 탄도체(trajector)로서 부분을 나타내고 Y는 지표(landmark)로서 전체를 나타내는 동시에 탄도체에 해당하는 요소의 자리는 지표의 요소에 비해 현저성이 부여된다고 본다. 그러므로 전체인 지표를 강조코자 할 때는 [Y of X]로의 전도현상이 발생하여, X와 Y의 자리가 전환될 수 있다. X에 해당하는 요소는 다양한 품사로 나타날 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 경우에 따라서는 전혀 나타나지 않는 경우도 있다. 본 연구는 영어 전치사 ‘of’를 재고찰 하면서, 그 동안의 선행연구에서 보여준 ‘of’-구의 구조를 X의 출현 여부에 관계없이 2항 술어로 간주하고, 전치사 ‘of’가 가지고 있는 다양한 기능이 외부논항의 적절한 정의에 따라 일관성 있게 설명될 수 있음을 보이고자 한다. 이를 위하여 의미역(theta-roles)에 대한 포화 이론 (Saturation Theory)을 근거로. 논항이 술어로부터 의미역을 부여받는 것이 아니라, 술어가 취하는 논항 자리에 의미역이 제공됨으로서 해당하는 항(place)의 자리에 논항이 위치하여 의미역 조건이 해소되는 것으로 본다. 본 연구는 [탄도체(X:명사) ‘of’ 지표(Y:명사)]를 ‘of’의 기본 형식을 보며, [동사 of 명사] 또는 [형용사 of 명사]의 형식에서처럼 탄도체가 표시되지 않는 경우는 암시적 논항(implicit argument)으로 간주되거나 탄도체 자리에 기저 생성된 주어가 상승하여 흔적이 남겨진 경우라는 대안을 제시한다. 또한 소절(small clause)이 공(empty) INFL을 머리어로 하는 IP임을 근거로 소절 형식을 취하는 유형과 그렇지 않는 유형의 의미적 차이점을 비교하여 선행연구에서 제시되어온 전치사 ‘of’의 [X of Y]의 구조가 [X/(IA) of Y]의 구조임을 주장하고, 이러한 구조로 전치사 ‘of’의 다양한 활용이 일관성 있게 설명될 수 있다는 사실을 밝힌다.

It has been assumed that the preposition ‘of’ takes the form ‘X of Y,’ where one entity falls under a restricted inherent sub-part of the other entity. Typically, ‘X’ plays as the trajector, being the part of ‘X of Y,’ while Y, as the landmark, being the whole of it. The position of the trajector is considered to be always more salient than that of the landmark. Therefore, the shift from ‘X of Y’ to ‘Y of X’ can occur to emphasize the landmark. Based on the facts above, this paper proposed that the preposition of in English uniformally be treated as a two place predicate. Given its nature of transitivity, the preposition ‘of’ takes two arguments of ‘X’ and ‘Y.’ This proposal is based on Higginbotham’s (1985) revised version of Theta Theory and Burzio’s (1986) the analysis of implicit argument in the causative construction. Under the premise that the preposition ‘of’ adopts a predicate construction like a verb, this paper further suggested that the prepositional phrase where the trajector (noun) does not appear like ‘X(verb) of Y(noun)’ or ‘X(adjective) of Y(noun) carries an implicit argument in the place of ’X’ in the structure of the preposition ‘of.’ This paper further contended that the subject generated from the place where the trajector is supposed to appear is raised for the Case reason, leaving the trace behind. The passive sentences were also discussed to make a distinction of the cases where the ‘X of Y’ is involved in the small clause and the cases where the ‘X of Y’ is not. Given that the small clause has an IP, which carries the empty INFL, the form of ‘product (IA) of material is made’ was defined as being constructed within the small clause, whereas the form of ‘product is made (IA) of material’ is not. Therefore, this paper has shown that the analysis of two place predicate for the preposition ‘of’ in English is well maintained, such that not only the cases where the preposition ‘of’ takes the external as well as internal arguments, but the cases where the external argument does not appear can be accounted for in a unified and systematically way.

The aim of this paper is to investigate problems related to translation of Korean film titles into Russian. Titles play an important role in representing a text or a film, providing readers/audience general information as well as attracting attention. The translated titles can also have influence on the acceptance of films in the target society. This study analyzes 220 Korean film titles and their translations in Russian, focusing on various types of methods used in translation. Analysis shows four methods are used, which are borrowing, literal translation, partial shift, and full shift. Some former studies on this issue will be reviewed, and four methods of translation will be analyzed to evaluate implications of translated titles on understanding of Korean films in Russia. Finally the influence of English titles on Russian translation will also be revealed.

Building upon previous research on punctuation, this paper aims to expand the current literature by exploring the various functions of the semicolon and by presenting useful translation strategies that can be employed in English-Korean translation. Explanation of semicolon’s functions is based on a number of widely-used style guides and grammar books, and the examples used herein are mostly taken from children’s literature; the punctuation points used in such genre are relatively clear and in conformity with the standard usage. Based on a clear understanding of the functions and usage, this paper selects and classifies effective translation strategies and discusses how such strategies can be deployed and what attention should be paid in the process of translation. Although there are a number of punctuation marks in the English language system, this paper limits its scope to semicolon, which often invites confusion and disagreement of interpretation in the process of translation, as there is no equivalent mark in the Korean language system. The author hopes the research will contribute to triggering further discussion on the translation of punctuation and to offering guidelines for those in the translation profession.

This study aims to identify shifts in transitivity system when translating a children's book from English to Korean. Roald Dahl's “James and the Giant Peach” and its Korean translation were used for the analysis. It has been found out that there are more than four categories in the transitivity shift : 1)shifting from passive voice in ST to active voice in TT 2) shifting from active voice in ST and passive voice in TT 3) simultaneous ommission of an agent and a verb in a complex sentence 4) simple shifts in transitivity system. Linguistic differences in English and Korean and a need to develop particular strategies for translating children's literature are found to be attributable to the process shifts.

유비쿼터스 환경에서 개인 프라이버시 보호를 위해 RFID 시스템 보안에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. RFID 시스템 보안 중 XOR 기반의 기법은 다른 기법보다 단순하고 최저가로 구현될 수 있다. 그러나 사용자 프라이버시 보호를 동일한 비밀정보가 사용자 인증에 사용되기 때문에 비밀정보가 노출될 확률이 커진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 XOR 기반 인증프로토콜을 개선한 경량화 된 연산자와 순환 시프트 연산을 사용한 인증프로토콜을 제안한다

In this paper, we enhance the previous XOR-based authentication protocol using a circular shift operation.

일부 학자들은 최근 20년 동안 중국의 대 중남미 진출을 ‘지구적 대전환’(Global Shift) 으로 정의하고 있는데, 그것은 중남미에서 큰 변화가 일어나고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 중국은 실제로 무역 및 해외직접투자(FDI)라는 하드파워뿐만 아니라, 공자학원을 앞세운 소프트파워에 적극적으로 투자하고 있다. 본 연구는 21세기 중국의 대 중남미 진출이 하드파워와 소프트파워에서 활발해 짐에 따라서, 그것이 (특히 브라질에서) 일본 및 한국의 소프트파워 전략에 미치는 영향과 더 나아가 수적으로 열악한 중남미 한인사회가 지속가능하기 위해서는 한류 파생경제 구조로가야한다는 것을 강조하고자 한다. 그런데 중남미 한인의 수가 최근 30년 동안 10만 명에 정체되어있다는 사실은 한편으로는 실망스러울 수도 있겠지만, 또 다른 한편에서는 희망적이라 할 수 있다. 코리아타운이형성되어 있는 브라질의 상파울루 경우가 대표적인 예로 브라질인들은 그곳에서 한국 음식과 문화를 경험할 수 있기 때문이다. 그동안 여성의류제조업에 집중했던 브라질 한인사회는 중국의 진출로 더욱 계층화되고 다양화되었다. 그 결과 일부 브라질 한인들이 한류파생 업종으로 전환했다. 그 결과 코리아타운 봉헤치루(Bom Retiro) 구(區)에서 새로 오픈한 고급스러운 한국 음식점은 물론, 한국식 찻집, 빵집, 떡집 등은 브라질 사회로부터 좋은반응을 얻고 있다. 비록 중남미 한인사회가 중미와 남미라는 서로 다른 경제 블럭에 속해있지만, 그것과상관없이, 중남미 한인사회는 지구적 대전환시대 한국의 소프트파워를 자신이 거주하는국가와 경제권역에 전파할 수 있는 장본인이다. 따라서 한류는 오늘날의 K-Pop, K-Fod, K-Culture에 머무는 것이 아니라, 그들에 의해서 가까운 미래에 K-Beauty, K-Performance 등으로 발전해야 한다

Some scholars have defined China's advance in Latin America in the last 20 years as a Global Shift, which means that major changes are taking place in Latin America. In fact, China is actively investing not only in hard power including trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), but also in soft power with Confucius Institute. As China's advance into Latin America in the 21st century is active in hard and soft power, this study shows its impact on the change of soft power strategy of Japan and Korea (especialy in Brazil). And further this study emphasizes that the Korean communities in Latin America, whose number is comparatively por, should transform its economic structure to Korean Wave derived one in order not to be absorbed by Chinese culture. The fact that the number of Koreans in Latin America has ben stagnant at 10,00 in the last 30 years may be disapointing, but on the other hand, it sems hopeful. For example, in Sao Paulo of Brazil, where Brazilians can experience Korean fod and culture, as Koreatown is formed. The Korean community in Brazil, which had ben concentrated in women's clothing manufacturing, has become more stratified and diversified with China's recent advance. In São Paulo, when some Koreans opened luxurious Korean restaurants as wel as Korean-style tea-houses, bakeries, and rice cake shops, they were very welcome and highly praised by Brazilian society. Although the Korean community in Latin America belongs to diferent economies of Central and South America, regardles of that, in the age of Global Shift the Korean community in Latin America should act as a protagonist to diseminate Korean culture not only to their host country but also to the economic block to which their host country belongs. Then the Korean Wave can be developed increasingly from the K-Pop, K-Fod, K-Culture to the more upgraded level of K-Beauty, K-Performance and etc. in the near future.

최근 첨단산업이 발달함에 따라 일상생활의 다양한 부분에서 드론의 이용이 급격하게 발전되어 지고 있 다. 드론은 기술성과 기능성의 증가 및 여러 생활방식에 맞춰 활용이 가능한 분야에 대한 접목이 쉬운 장점을 가지 고 있다. 또한 드론 서비스에 대한 다양화를 통하여 카메라와 CCTV같은 영상처리를 할 수 있는 매체를 융합해 사람 대신 경비를 할 수 있는 자동화 시스템이 도입되어 질 예정이다. 이러한 무인경비 기술을 설계하여 기존 드론 응용기술력을 강화하는 새로운 융합적 경비드론 서비스 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 기법에는 OpenCV 기술 및 객체 추적 알고리즘인 CAM-Shift 알고리즘을 통해 초기 윈도우와 탐색 윈도우에서 객체를 중심으로 물체를 탐색 및 영역을 설정하여 안전의 유무를 판단하고 보안성에 대하여 드론에 접목시킬 수 있는 추가적인 인증수단인 생체인증기술을 설계한다. 이를 통해 기동성 및 실시간 영상 처리에 대한 기술의 분석이 지속적으로 증가될 수 있는 드론을 이용하여 무인 경비를 하는데 있어서 효율성이 높은 경비드론 융합서비스 모델에 대한 내용을 제안한다.

Recently, with the development of high-tech industry, the use of the drones in various aspects of daily life is rapidly advancing. With technical and functional advancements, drones have an advantage of being easy to be utilized in the areas of use according to various lifestyles.

Through such, a highly efficient security drone convergence service model will be proposed for performing unmanned security by using the drones that can continuously increase the analysis of technology on the mobility and real-time image processing.

비디오 카메라에서 입력된 동영상을 분석하여 교차로에서 교통량을 자동적으로 측정하는 시스템을 설계, 구현하였다. 입력 영상에서 배경과 전경을 분리하기 위하여 3가지 방법을 비교 분석하였으며 이중에서 좋은 결과를 보여주는 Li의 방법을 선택하였다. 전경 영상에서 연결 성분 분석을 이용하여 각각의 블로브들을 분리하였으며 분리된 블로브들은 블로브 추적기를 이용하여 프레임 별로 추적된다. 가장 기본적인 추적기는 블로브의 크기와 위치 정보들을 이용한다. 블로브들 간에 충돌이 있는 경우에는 블로브 안의 컬러 분포를 이용하는 mean shift 알고리즘이 사용되었다. 제안된 시스템은 실제 교차로 동영상을 이용하여 테스트되었으며 휴리스틱을 추가할 경우, 좋은 감지율과 오차율을 보였다.

A vehicle counting system at intersection is designed and implemented using analyzing a video stream from a camera. To separate foreground image from background, we compare three different methods, among which Li's method is chosen. Blobs are extracted from the foreground image using connected component analysis and the blobs are tracked by a blob tracker, frame by frame. The primary tracker use only the size and location of blob in foreground image. If there is a collision between blobs, the mean-shift tracking algorithm based on color distribution of blob is used. The proposed system is tested using real video data at intersection. If some huristics is applied, the system shows a good detection rate and a low error rate.

Beyond 6G services and applications demand high and efficient processing capacity due to the massive connectivity of users equipment (UEs). However, the high computational capability and energy consumption of UEs are limited, which becomes a main challenge to overcome. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has recently been studied widely as it can potentially assist complex tasks executed at UEs. Furthermore, several techniques have been proposed to optimize task offloading among users. Thus, another challenge in MEC is emerging due to the fact that mobile users do not always have a line-of-sight (LoS) to the base station (BS) due to the blocking object. Therefore, it can affect users data rate and result in incremental energy consumption. This research introduces the concept of reconfigurable intelligence surfaces (RIS) to support multiple-input-single-output (MISO) base stations (BS) in both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) using BCD algorithms. While previous studies concentrate on enhancing task offloading and neglecting inter-user interference, this study suggests an optimization approach for UL and DL data rates, as well as minimizing task offloading delays. The results indicate that optimizing task placement, phase shift, and precoding can reduce the duration of task offloading.

Purpose: This study investigates the associations among fear of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, psychological distress, and sleep quality among shift nurses in tertiary hospitals in Mongolia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 204 shift nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Ulaanbaatar. Validated instruments were used to assess variables, which include the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Impact of Event Scale-6, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regressions. Results: The prevalence of poor sleep quality in shift nurses was 65.2%. While fear of COVID-19 and PTSD symptoms showed significant bivariate correlations with sleep quality, psychological distress was the only significant independent predictor of poor sleep quality in the adjusted regression model (?=0.301, p＜.001). In addition, younger nurses and those with less clinical experience reported significantly higher levels of psychological distress and poor sleep quality. Conclusion: Psychological distress was the primary independent predictor of sleep quality among shift nurses in resource-constrained settings. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health should prioritize the mitigation of psychological distress through structured psychological support programs. Special attention should be directed toward early-career and frontline nurses who are more vulnerable to psychological burden.

Purpose This study aimed to identify the working conditions (working hours, overtime work, number of night shifts, number of holidays, and work intervals) associated with fatigue, based on the shift patterns, and determine their thresholds. Methods From January to February 2020, a web-based questionnaire was sent to 4601 shift work nurses at 47 hospitals in Japan. The multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to predict high- and low-fatigue groups by working conditions, and receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to clarify the high-fatigue thresholds by shift pattern. Results A total of 386 shift work nurses participated in this study. The threshold (fatigue was 3.0 or higher) of the two-shift rotation was 9 hours 50 minutes for daily working hours during day shifts (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.57, p < .01), 17 hours 15 minutes for daily working hours during night shifts (OR = 1.20, p < .01), and 8.0 days for the number of night shifts (OR = 1.09, p = .02). The threshold of the three-shift rotation was 9 hours 45 minutes (OR = 1.59, p < .01), 2.9 days for the number of midnight shifts (OR = 1.53, p < .01), and 2.0 times for the interval between day-shift and night-shifts within 12 hours (OR = 1.39, p < .01). Conclusion Working hours and the number of night shifts are important for two-shift rotation, and working hours for the assignment of midnight shift are important for three-shift rotations. Nurse managers should manage shifts according to nurses’ shift patterns.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify influencing factors for sleep quality among shift-working nurses based on a three-factor scoring model that included sleep efficacy, sleep quality and daily dysfunction. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 513 nurses in a hospital in Shanghai, China, was conducted using a self-reported questionnaire. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed based on the three-factor PSQI model: Factor 1, sleep efficacy; Factor 2, sleep quality; Factor 3, daily disturbances. Results: After adjusting for age, marital status, and having children, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that participants who had previous shift work experience which was at least 6 months ago, or were currently performing shift work were significantly more likely to have poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5) than those who had never done shift work (adjusted odds ratios of 3.943 and 3.975, respectively, both p < .001). Mean scores of the three individual factors increased significantly among nurses currently performing shift work compared with those who had never done shift work (Factor 1, b = 0.61, p < .001; Factor 2, b = 1.86, p < .001; Factor 3, b = 0.45, p = .002). Mean scores of Factor 2 and Factor 3 increased significantly among nurses with previous shift work experience compared with those who had never done shift work (Factor 2, b = 1.15, p = .003; Factor 3, b = 0.52, p = .005). Conclusions: Performing current shift work and performing shift work previously were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. An appropriate arrangement and intervention strategies are needed in Chinese hospitals in order to improve sleep quality among shift-working nurses.

Purpose: Insulin resistance is a major driver of metabolic disorders, and understanding factors associated with insulin resistance, particularly among Korean shift workers, is essential for the development of effective preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify factors related to insulin resistance using a complex-sample analysis of national survey data. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, secondary data were obtained from the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2019 and 2021. All analyses were performed using a complex sampling design incorporating stratification, clustering, and sampling weights. Insulin resistance was assessed using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance. Complex-sample multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with insulin resistance. Results: The mean age of participants was 44.56 years, and 78.1% were men. Among the participants, 28.5% had insulin resistance. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher body mass index was associated with increased odds of insulin resistance (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16~1.48). The presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with higher odds of insulin resistance compared with its absence (OR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.31~5.33). Higher perceived stress was also associated with increased odds of insulin resistance (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.04~2.14). Conclusion: Higher body mass index, metabolic syndrome, and elevated stress were associated with insulin resistance in Korean shift workers, highlighting the importance of managing both metabolic and psychological factors to reduce the risk of insulin resistance.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of using an early warning score for shift patient handover on nurse and patient outcomes. Methods: A before-and-after study was conducted with nurses and patients in three general wards in a tertiary teaching hospital. A short-time nurse education on the National Early Warning Score 2 and the use of a checklist for score calculation were performed from June 4, 2019 to June 30, 2019. Outcomes of nurse response (safety competency, handover quality, teamwork, safety climate, and documentation of vital signs and clinical concerns), patient response (deterioration occurrence postadmission, hospitalization length, and discharge status), and adverse events (mortality, cardiopulmonary arrest, and unplanned intensive care unit admission) were measured using questionnaires and medical record reviews. Data from 89 nurses and 388 patients were analyzed. Results: Regarding nurse outcomes, handover quality (p < .001), teamwork (p ¼ .004), safety climate (p ¼ .018), and recordings of vital signs (p ¼ .047) and clinical concerns (p ¼ .008) increased after early warning score use. However, no significant change in the safety competency scores was observed. Regarding patient outcomes, there were no significant changes in the occurrence of deterioration, hospitalization length, discharge status, and occurrence of adverse events between preintervention and postintervention. Conclusion: Despite no significant changes in patient outcomes, using a simple, evidence-based early warning score for patient handover enhanced socio-cultural factors for patient safety, with improved patient monitoring. The findings provide evidence that supports the active implementation of an early warning score to improve patient safety.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the specific learning needs of patients within the experimental group after receiving the Individualized Self-Care Program (ISCP) at two key time points: Time 2 (Day 2, Week 1) and Time 3 (Day 15, Week 3). Furthermore, it aimed to compare the effectiveness of the ISCP in improving self-care behavior between the experimental group and the control group, which received standard health education. Methods: The study utilized a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design and included a consecutive sample of 128 patients who had undergone their first Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedure. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 64) and the control group (n = 64). The experimental group received an ISCP at Time 2 and Time 3 after being discharged, whereas the control group received standard health education. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests to assess differences in learning needs over time and Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to evaluate the effectiveness of the ISCP on self-care behavior. Results: A paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in the total number of learning needs identified within the experimental group between Time 2 and Time 3 assessments. Patients in the experimental group initially identified more learning needs at Time 2 (4.3 ± 1.5), but their knowledge significantly improved at Time 3, leading to fewer learning needs (2.6 ± 1.1). Furthermore, an ANOVA comparing the experimental and control groups showed that the ISCP effectively improved self-care behavior in the experimental group, with significantly greater improvements compared to the control group, which received standard health education. Conclusion: ISCP delivered in early recovery enhances self-care behaviors and addresses postdischarge gaps. The study also revealed that patients' learning needs change over time during home recovery, emphasizing the importance of tailored self-care programs for CABG patients after discharge.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of grit and body composition on fatigue and burnout in shift-working nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design using self-report questionnaires was employed. Data were collected between February and April 2021 from 192 shift-working nurses in 22 units of C tertiary hospitals. Of the 192, 175 nurses returned their completed questionnaires (return rate: 91.1%). The participants objectively measured their body composition for three consecutive days using a home body composition measurement scale. Results: Nurses with higher consistency of interest were more likely to have lower chronic fatigue (B=-5.23, p=.013), lower emotional exhaustion (B=-2.75, p<.001), and decreased depersonalization (B=-1.08, p=.014). Perseverance of effort was not statistically significant for fatigue; however, it was statistically significant for higher personal accomplishment among the subdomains of burnout (B=2.50, p<.001). Skeletal muscle mass and body mass index had no significant effect on fatigue and burnout. Conclusion: To reduce fatigue and burnout in shift-working nurses, comprehensive efforts at the organizational and individual levels should be implemented to increase their grit. Further research is needed to determine whether body composition affects fatigue and burnout in shift-working nurses.

Purpose: It is important to reduce stress and improve quality of life for shift nurses, who experiencehigh levels of occupational stress. Identifying evidence-based interventions to enhance their well-beingis crucial for both individual and healthcare system outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectsof music therapy and aromatherapy on stress, quality of life, and happiness among shift nurses. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly assigned using computer-generatedrandom numbers. A total of 78 shift nurses who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. The experimental treatment involved providing music therapy for one week to the music group andaromatherapy for one week to the aroma group, whereas the control group followed their usual dailyroutines for one week. Results: No significant differences were observed among the three groups concerninggeneral characteristics and baseline dependent variables, thereby confirming the homogeneityof the groups. Nevertheless, post-intervention analyses demonstrated significant improvements in perceivedstress (F = 5.55, p = .006), stress index (F = 3.38, p = .039), quality of life (F = 11.79, p < .001),and happiness (F = 9.29, p < .001) in the experimental groups. Conclusion: Both music therapy andaromatherapy were found to be effective in mitigating stress and improving quality of life and happinessamong shift nurses. Therefore, these interventions can be regarded as valuable strategies for improvingoverall well-being within this population.
