This study focuses on the differences of the researchers’ perception in the process of convergence research. In particular, it is assumed that the gap between the researchers in the implementation and evaluation stages has a significant influence on the stage of finding a theme for convergence research. Specific details are as follows. First, we examine the heterogeneity between disciplines through the conceptual definition of concepts and types of convergence research by reviewing previous studies related to convergence research. Second, we analyze differences in the researchers’ perceptions about obstacles that occur in the convergence research process. Third, the factors for promoting convergence research will be derived through this process, and future convergence research directions will be presented. Fourth, we intend to emphasize the importance of cooperation and interest among researchers by presenting appropriate directions for the planning, performance and evaluation of convergence research.

This study analyzed the general characteristics, hospitalization characteristics, treatment outcome characteristics, number of days of hospitalization, and non-coverage of the elderly patients over 65 years of age. A total of 2,619 patients were selected from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 by using K hospital’s medical record team’s discharge record summary information. The results of the analysis of the elderly patients showed that the top 5 diagnoses were chemoradiotherapy (Z51) for 930 patients (35.5%), cataract (H26) for 570 patients (21.8%), angina pectoris (I20) for 455 patients (17.4%), 381 patients (14.5%) with pneumonia (J18) and 283 patients (10.8%) with cerebral infarction (I63). In general characteristics, non-covered medical expenses were higher for health insurance patients than for uncovered medical expenses, and hospitalization characteristics and treatment outcome characteristics were higher than uncovered medical expenses for emergency patients and surgical patients. In conclusion, we were able to deduce from the results of this study that in order to control the increase in the uncovered medical expenses of hospitalized patients, it is possible to manage the number of days of hospitalization reasonably and manage it appropriately considering the personal characteristics of patients such as severity and death.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the academic stress, self efficacy, burn out, social support and college life adaptation of dental hygiene students and their correlations with related factors influencing college life adaptation. A total of 265 students were selected as stratified sampling methods at the universities in which the department of dental hygiene was established nationwide. From September 1, 2015 to October 22, 2015, the self report questionnaire was used. The main variables were college life adaptation, academic stress, self efficacy, burn out, social support, and analyzed using SPSS 21.0. College life adaptation was 5.17 out of 9 points, academic stress was 2.88 points out of 6 points, self efficacy, burn out, and social support were 3.35, 2.60, and 3.54 out of 5, each respectively. Self efficacy and stress due to task and class were significant influences on individual-emotional adaptation in college life adaptation. In the case of college environment adaptation, exhaustion, self efficacy and social support were significant influencing factors. In the case of social adaptation, self efficacy and social support were significant influencing factors. Overall, academic stress and college life adaptation were closely related, and social psychological factors such as burn out, self efficacy and social support were mediated. Therefore, it is suggested that it should be applied to college education in order to increase adaptation of dental hygiene students, to reduce academic stress and burn out, and to develop intervention strategies that can enhance self efficacy and social support.
