Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate maternal separation anxiety and turnover intentions of working mothers with pre-school children according to types of daycare and to identify the relationship between maternal separation anxiety and turnover intentions of working mothers. Methods: Two hundred thirty nine working mothers, who are permanent employee with the child aged five and younger, were surveyed from September 3rd to 11th, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of measures of maternal separation anxiety and turnover intentions. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffé test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were conducted by using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: First, types of surrogate rearing are categorized as workplace nursery, daycare center, grandparents care and baby sitter care. Second, there were significant differences in maternal separation anxiety (p=.037) and turnover intentions (p=.001) of working mothers according to the type of surrogate rearing. maternal separation anxiety of working mothers using daycare center has lower level than those using baby sitter care. Turnover intentions of working mothers using baby sitter care has higher level than those using other types of daycare. Third, there was positive relationship between maternal separation anxiety and turnover intentions of working mothers (r=.292, p<.001). Conclusion: To support working mothers' work-family reconciliation, this study suggests that government should try to improve quality of daycare at daycare center. It is needed to study about variables related to maternal separation anxiety and turnover intentions in order to prevent women's career discontinuity.

Purpose: This study aimed to verify the reliability, validity and clinical usefulness of the Korean version of the 9-item depression module of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) among adult Korean participants. Methods: The PHQ-9 questionnaire was administered to 257 participants older than 18 years, chosen using stratified random sampling. Data from the 2014 community health survey conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were examined and analyzed by SPSS 23.0 with an independent t-test, factor analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: The PHQ-9 showed significant positive internal consistency (r=.80) and the discriminant validity with two group comparison by depression and non-depression group was significantly different (t=-7.19, p<.001). Two factors were extracted through a principal component analysis and the total variance explained was 51.67%. Conclusion: The Korean version of the PHQ-9 is an appropriate screening tool for detection of depression among adult Koreans, and would be valuable in a primary health care setting.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore and understand nursing students' experiences of learning flow. Methods: A total of 22 nursing students were divided into three focus groups based on their experiences of learning flow in Universities U and S respectively in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Data collected from September to November 2016 through focus group interviews were analyzed via Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. Results: Theme clusters indicate various factors, phenomena, and results of nursing students' learning flow. These clusters were "efforts to focus on oneself", "interaction with the learning environment", "connecting interest and learning", "breakoff of awareness of oneself and surroundings", "control of learning situation", and "self-growth". Conclusion: These results indicate that the learning flow of nursing students includes interaction with the learning environment, which contributes to positive effects on the improvement of learning satisfaction and self-growth. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a self-directed learning program for them based on learner characteristics to improve nursing students' learning flow.
