The aim of this study was to describe the self-esteem, appearance satisfaction, and job-seeking stress and to investigate the effects of self-esteem and appearance satisfaction on job-seeking stress in nursing and healthcare related students. A total of 515 third and fourth year graduate students were included in this study. The data were collected between May 2 and May 13 of 2016 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 19.0. The economic state had an influence on self-esteem, appearance satisfaction, and job-seeking stress; however, the motive of application and decision of the department of selection did not have any influence. A positive correlation was found between self-esteem and appearance satisfaction. Moreover, job-seeking stress was negatively correlated with both self-esteem and appearance satisfaction. The strongest predictor of job-seeking stress was self-esteem. Self-esteem, employment-area, satisfaction with major, and college majors accounted for 24.4% of job-seeking stress based on multiple regression analysis. These findings indicate that it is necessary to develop a program that would increase self-esteem and satisfaction with major and decrease job-seeking stress according to college majors and employment-area in nursing and health care related students.

This study was conducted in order to examine the relationships among stress, mindfulness, anger rumination, and dysfunctional anger. Based on findings from previous studies, partial and full dual mediation models were proposed, in which mindfulness and anger rumination would sequentially mediate the relationship between stress and dysfunctional anger. We asked 424 college students to complete questionnaires, which included the Daily Hassles Scale, Mindfulness Scale, K-Anger Rumination Scale (K-ARS), and State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Korean version(STAXI-K). The results were as follows. According to the structural equation modeling (SEM), a partial dual mediation model fit the data well. These findings suggest that mindfulness and anger rumination sequentially mediate the relationship between stress and dysfunctional anger, and that stress has direct influence on dysfunctional anger. Finally, the implications and limitations of the present study were discussed.
