PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to investigate e-health literacy and self-care agency of nursing students and non-health department women college students.
METHODS
A descriptive comparative design was used. Participants were 67 nursing students and 67 non-health department women college students between 18 and 25 years old from a university located in Seoul. Data collection was done from September 2 to October 5, 2016 using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, χ² test, ANCOVA, ANOVA, Scheffé test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with SPSS 23.0.

However, self-care agency was not significantly different (F=1.05, p=.426). There were significant positive correlation (r=.63, p<.001) in e-health literacy and self-care agency of nursing students.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance on the experience of new graduate nurses.
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey design was used. The participants in this study were 149 nurses who had less than 12 months of nursing experience and were working at one of 4 general hospitals. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from Nov. 2012 to Oct. 2014.
RESULTS
The total mean score for Psychosocial health was 3.07+/-0.60, Self-nurturance, 3.38+/-0.44, and graduate nurse experience, 2.59+/-0.27. The effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance predicted 23% of variance in graduate nurse experience.
CONCLUSION
These results indicate that Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance have a positive relationship to graduate nurse experience. Therefore, further studies including approaches that support Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance are recommended to help in the adaptation of newly graduated nurses to clinical settings.
