ABSTRACT
Purpose@#The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effects of insecure adult attachment and tact (nunchi) on the relationship between life stress and college adjustment in Korean college students. @*Methods@#A total of 170 college students were recruited into this study and were asked to participate in an online survey. By using SPSS/WIN 24.0, Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationships among the variables. The mediating effects were examined by using PROCESS Macro for SPSS Ver. 3.14 model 6. @*Results@#There were significant correlations among the four main variables of this study - insecure adult attachment, nunchi, life stress, and college adjustment. Insecure adult attachment and nunchi mediated the relationship between life stress and college adjustment in college students. @*Conclusion@#Based on the findings of this study, various evidence-based programs can be developed to improve college adjustment and decrease life stress in college students.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hearing outcomes and prognostic factors of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) were investigated in patients who underwent combined intratympanic and systemic steroid therapy. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: This study was performed by retrospective chart review. Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors were evaluated in 147 patients who received intratympanic steroid plus systemic steroid therapy. RESULTS: Complete hearing recovery was achieved in 36.7% (n=54) of the patients, partial recovery in 12.9% (n=19), slight recovery in 12.3% (n=18), and total recovery in 61.9% (n=91). Age was identified as an independent, negative prognostic factor for hearing recovery. The recovery rates of the down sloping and profound types were poorer than those of the up sloping type as determined by audiography. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the combined treatment of intratympanic and systemic steroids for idiopathic SSNHL results in high hearing recovery rates, and that the down-sloping and profound types of audiogram patterns and age are negative prognostic factors.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the alcohol drinking behavior in female university students. METHODS: The subjects were 298 female university students at three universities in J Province and G city. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS/PC+ 15.0. RESULTS: The variables that affected the drinking behavior of female university students were smoking status, pocket money, coping strategy of problem solving, positive expectancy of alcohol drinking and negative expectancy of alcohol drinking. These factors could explain 30.4% of the drinking behavior. Stress did not affect the drinking behavior of subjects. CONCLUSION: Drinking behavior of the subjects was slightly higher than average for all women. In order to decrease the drinking behavior, the development of drinking reduction programs is needed and it can lead healthy life for female university students.
