“…Gambling activities of out-of-school adolescents were classified into three subgroups (RG, IGG, and BG), whereas prior studies classified their subjects into 4~8 subgroups [8,14,19,20]. This result is consistent with the findings of a prior study on early adulthood gambling, which delineated three subgroups of social gamblers, problem gamblers, and pathological gamblers [21].…”

“…Thus, a need exists to identify the characteristics of the gambling activities of out-of-school adolescents. However, determining the presence of problem gambling by simply scoring the level of problem gambling using a screening tool can result in stigmatization [8]. Instead, using a subject-centered (person-centered) approach such as latent class analysis (LCA) can help to identify subgroups that require interventions for problem gambling [9].…”

Purpose: The number of Korean adolescents engaging in gambling is increasing, especially among out-of-school adolescents. This study aimed to identify patterns of gambling activities and factors related to specific subgroups of out-of-school adolescent gambling activities.Methods: This descriptive study analyzed secondary data from the 2015 Korea Youth Gambling Problem Survey, including 1,200 out-of-school adolescents. Latent class analysis was conducted to identify patterns of gambling activities. The factors related to gambling subgroups were verified with multinomial logistic regression.Results: Three latent classes of gambling activities were identified: rarely gambling (RG), immediate gain gambling (IGG), and broad gambling (BG). These subgroups differed significantly in terms of gender, age at and type of first gambling experience, number and type of gambling activities, gambling frequency, time and money spent on gambling, problem gambling severity, and motivation for gambling. Compared to the RG subgroup, both the IGG and BG subgroups were strongly associated with an older age at the first gambling experience.Conclusion: Out-of-school adolescents who first gambled at an older age and who gambled mainly in order to gain money immediately were at risk of problem gambling. Developing strategies for early screening and referral to professionals is necessary to prevent gambling problems from worsening.

“…In order to prevent the gambling addiction of adolescents, it is necessary to intensively educate them on economic ethics, such as the time and money spent on gambling behaviors, and help adolescents to make responsible choices. In addition, with active parent education, parents should supervise their adolescents to lower the acceptability and availability of the gambling, because the insufficient coping skills of adolescents can lead to problem gambling [19,37,38,39]. In schools in particular, adolescents who already have problems with gambling should be exposed to active intervention early so that they do not progress to gambling addiction.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the gambling factors related with the gambling problem level of adolescents to provide basic information for the prevention of adolescent gambling problems. The data was drawn from the 2015 Survey on Youth Gambling Problems of the Korea Center on Gambling Problems for Korean students in grades 7–11 (ages 13–17 years) and included 14,011 study subjects (average age 14.9 years, 52.5% male). The lifetime gambling behavior experience was 42.1%, and 24.2% had a gambling behavior experience within the past three months. The past three-month prevalence of problem gambling was 1.1%. The gambling factors related with the level of adolescent problem gambling include the presence of nearby gambling facilities, having personal relationships with people that gamble, a higher number of experienced gambling behaviors, male adolescents, and a greater amount of time spent gambling. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report to identify gambling factors related with the level of adolescent problem gambling in Korean adolescents using national data. These findings suggest that gambling prevention efforts must consider not only access to individual adolescents as early intervention, but also environmental strategies such as accessibility regulations and alternative activities.

“…Moreover, clinical training for nursing students in operating rooms is particularly limited to prevent perioperative patients' immunity levels from dropping and to strictly manage opportunistic infections. 4 Despite these restrictions, practical learning-based nursing education should reflect clinical field experience to support the smooth deployment of nursing students in clinical environments. 5 Regarding this, virtual reality (VR) simulation has emerged as an effective nursing education method.…”

When provided with opportunities to view the world from the patients' perspective, nursing students can experience the same practical occurrences and feelings that patients encounter, consequently becoming more aware of their discomfort and pain. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the patient experience virtual reality blended learning program developed for nursing students. This study is significant in that it presents a program that enables nursing students to not only experience being perioperative patients themselves but also experience their conditions in places other than hospitals, which are generally used as training locations. The analytical results of this study indicated that nursing students who virtually experienced the conditions of perioperative patients through virtual reality blended learning showed increased levels of empathy, positive attitudes toward patient safety treatment, confidence in nursing care, and clinical skill performance. The developed program in this study blended various teaching methods with a virtual reality platform to help junior nursing students with practical and effective perioperative training increase their levels of empathy by simulating the experiences and perspectives of perioperative patients.
