The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing learning flow of nursing student.Design of this study was a descriptive research. The participants for this study were 283 nursing college students with four-years curriculum in D city from June 14th to June 24th, 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression with SPSS 18.0 Program. There were significant correlations among self-leadership, academic self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and the learning flow. As a multiple regression analysis, factors that have an effect on learning flow were self-leadership, and academic self-efficacy. These factors explain 58.2% of the variance in learning flow. Self-leadership, academic self-efficacy, and learning flow relationship were positive relevant. To enhance learning flow ability for nursing students, it is necessary to develop training program and academic environment for increasing self-leadership and academic self-efficacy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of individual breast-feeding promotion program on breast-feeding attitude and breast-feeding practice in the non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. The subjects of this study were 64 pregnant women who were more than 32 weeks of pregnancy period (Exp. group; 32, Con. group; 32) at a Maternal and Child health center. The data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, x 2 -test and t-test using a SPSS statistical program. The results are as follows. The experimental group that participated in the individual breast-feeding promotion program was higher scores of breast-feeding attitude and breast-feeding practice rate than the control group. There was significant difference between two groups with time period change. In conclusion, this program could be an effective nursing intervention to improve breast-feeding attitude and breast-feeding practice.

The purpose of this study was to understand the factors affecting the academic resilience in nursing students. This study involved 280 second year nursing students. Data were collected from March 4 to 8 in 2013. Data were analyzed with frequency, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, person's correlation coefficients, and Stepwise multiple regression with using SPSS version 20.0. The score of academic resilience, problem solving abilities and communication skill in nursing students were 3.67, 3.53 and 3.50 respectively. The results showed that the higher problem solving abilities and communication skills, the higher academic resilience. The factors that significantly affected academic resilience were plan/practice, analytic ability, goal creation ability, cause analysis and performance/assessment accounting for 50.7% of the regression model. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the description of nursing students' academic resilience factors to develop effective education program.
