BMC Nursing
This study enhances understandings of psychosocial factors influencing medication adherence in patients with breast cancer, highlighting patient empowerment as crucial for healthcare interventions. Thus, healthcare providers should implement targeted interventions including educational programs to inform patients about their treatment regimens, provide counseling services addressing mental health concerns such as depression, and establish support groups fostering a sense of community and shared experiences among patients. By integrating these strategies into patient care, healthcare professionals can significantly enhance patient empowerment and improve medication adherence toward better health outcomes for breast cancer patients. Future research could explore the long-term effects of these interventions on adherence and overall patient well-being.

This study explored how Korean students' happiness impacts depression during their transition from middle to high school, emphasizing teacher relationships as a mediator and peer and parental relationships as moderators. Utilizing data from 2147 students (1150 male, 997 female) in the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey, this study assessed happiness, depression, and relationships with teachers, peers, and parents in 2020 and 2021. Data analyses involved Pearson's correlations, descriptive statistics, and the SPSS 28.0 macro-PROCESS model for mediation and moderated mediation. Happiness in third-grade middle school students (<i>M</i> = 3.0509, <i>SD</i> = 0.4583) was positively linked to high school teacher relationships (β = 0.1958, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and negatively linked to depression (β = -0.1732, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Teacher relationships mediated the link between happiness and depression, with an indirect effect of β = -0.0339 (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Reduced negative parental attitudes strengthened the link between happiness and teacher relationships (β = -0.1045, <i>p</i> < 0.01). Teacher-student relationships are vital for adolescent emotional health, particularly during academic stress. Policies should encourage such relationships, enhance parenting, and develop students' social skills.

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the promotion of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) using the FGI and 1st Delphi methods to omit, add, and group the factors affecting the promotion of BIPV, and applying a 2nd Delphi method to confirm the relationships between the identified factors. A survey of companies engaged in the BIPV industry was conducted to collect data, and statistical analysis, such as exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis, of the data collected with the Delphi method was performed. The independent variables were classified as BIPV policy environment, market environment, and manufacturing environment, and the dependent variable of BIPV system installation was predicted. The correlations between these variables were then analyzed, making it possible to promote the domestic BIPV industry and devise an efficient strategy for the activation of the BIPV industry before the diffusion of BIPV.
The Relationship between the Frequency of Breakfast Consumption, Conversation with Parents, and Somatic Symptoms in Children: A Three-Wave Latent Growth Model

Breakfast consumption is essential for children to generate energy for the day. Parents play an important role in children's breakfast habits and spending time with parents during breakfast greatly influences children's emotional development. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between the frequency of children's breakfast consumption, time spent in conversation with parents, and children's somatic symptoms. Data were obtained from the Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 and were initially collected from fourth-grade elementary school students and followed up for three years. SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 software were used for data analysis. Multivariate latent growth modeling was applied to analyze the effect of the breakfast consumption frequency on children's somatic symptoms and the mediating effect of parent-child conversation time on this relationship. Consequently, as children's frequency of breakfast consumption increased, their somatic symptoms decreased. Furthermore, parent-child conversation time mediated the relationship between these two variables. Therefore, students, parents, and teachers should be educated about the importance of having breakfast and communicating with parents for students' emotional health.
The Relationship between Korean Parents’ Smartphone Addiction and That of Their Children: The Mediating Effects of Children’s Depression and Social Withdrawal

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
With the number of smartphone users growing around the world, children are using smartphones from an increasingly early age. Consequently, a significant number of children are being exposed to the risk of smartphone addiction, which is emerging as a serious social problem. Smartphone addiction can negatively impact children's physical, cognitive, and social development. Previous studies have demonstrated that parental smartphone addiction influences that of their children. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between parental smartphone addiction and children's smartphone addiction and the mediating effects of children's depression and social withdrawal. Data are drawn from National Youth Policy Institute's 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. Respondents comprise 2011 fourth-grade elementary school students and their parents. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 software. Results show that the relationship between parental smartphone addiction and that of their children has a significantly positive mediating effect on children's social withdrawal, but no such effect on children's depression and there were no serial effects of children's depression and social withdrawal. Consequently, educational programs that control parents' smartphone usage, improve the parent-child relationship, and engender social sensitivity should be developed to reduce and prevent smartphone addiction among children.

Suicide is the topmost cause of death among adolescents in South Korea and is deeply related to depression. This study aimed to identify gender differences in the factors affecting depression among multicultural adolescents. This study is a secondary analysis using data from a national survey, the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) conducted in 2017. The participants were 1160 multicultural adolescents ranging from 15 to 18 years, living in Korea, and whose fathers were Koreans and mothers were foreigners. The results showed that depression scores were higher for females (18.35) than males (16.38, t = 6.42, <i>p</i> < 0.001). In total, seven factors affected depression among male multicultural adolescents' and the model explained 50.5% of the total variance (F = 77.99, <i>p</i> < 0.001), while four factors affected female multicultural adolescents' depression, and the model explained 51.4% of the total variance (F = 100.02, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Significant gender differences were found in factors that influence depression among multicultural adolescents. Therefore, depression prevention programs for multicultural adolescents need to vary according to gender. Additionally, these programs should target families and teachers of multicultural adolescents as well.
