With the widespread use of smart phones, mobile medical class of applications use more widely. The regulation for medical applications is in the offing in domestic. How to effectively regulate such software to control its risks for patients is needed to solve. In this paper, the status of such simple software monitoring in domestic and abroad is analyzed, some problems of domestic mobile medical applications are summarized and some recommendations are proposed for the relevant departments.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify whether self-directed fundamental nursing practice using a smart phone affected self-efficacy, practice satisfaction, and skill competency of nursing students. METHODS: This was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The participants were 40 children in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. In experimental group, self-directed fundamental nursing practice using a smart phone was given to nursing students. Data for this study was collected from 25 March 2015 to 10 April 2015. The data were analyzed using SAS 21.0. RESULTS: In self-efficacy and skill competency, there were no statistically significant differences between the experimental group and control group. In practice satisfaction, there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that self-directed fundamental nursing practice using smartphone video is effective in practice satisfaction. Therefore, this intervention can be utilized in nursing practice education as an effective educational device.

PURPOSE: Web-based questionnaires are currently the standard method for course evaluations. The high rate of smartphone adoption in Sweden makes possible a range of new uses, including course evaluation. This study examines the potential advantages and disadvantages of using a smartphone app as a complement to web-based course evaluationsystems. METHODS: An iPhone app for course evaluations was developed and interfaced to an existing web-based tool. Evaluations submitted using the app were compared with those submitted using the web between August 2012 and June 2013, at the Faculty of Medicine at Uppsala University, Sweden. RESULTS: At the time of the study, 49% of the students were judged to own iPhones. Over the course of the study, 3,340 evaluations were submitted, of which 22.8% were submitted using the app. The median of mean scores in the submitted evaluations was 4.50 for the app (with an interquartile range of 3.70-5.20) and 4.60 (3.70-5.20) for the web (P=0.24). The proportion of evaluations that included a free-text comment was 50.5% for the app and 49.9% for the web (P=0.80). CONCLUSION: An app introduced as a complement to a web-based course evaluation system met with rapid adoption. We found no difference in the frequency of free-text comments or in the evaluation scores. Apps appear to be promising tools for course evaluations. web-based course evaluation system met with rapid adoption.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of depression and smartphone dependency with female college students' career decision-making self efficacy. METHODS: This was a descriptive study. The survey participants were 497 female college students in M City and S City. Data were collected from November 16 to December 4, 2015 using self-report questionnaires including BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), Smartphone Dependency Scale, and CDMSES-SF (Career Decision-Making Self Efficacy Scale-Short Form). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: Career decision-making self efficacy showed significant differences according to religion. Smartphone dependency was found to have a statistically significant negative correlation with career decision-making self efficacy and a positive correlation with depression. Depression was found to have a statistically significant negative correlation with career decision-making self efficacy. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the predictors of career decision-making self efficacy were depression (7.1%), religion (1.8%), and smartphone dependency (1.3%), accounting for a total of 10.6% of the variance. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that interventions to promote female college students' career decision-making self efficacy should consider their depression, religion, and smartphone dependency.

BACKGROUND: There are practical difficulties to show exact clinical symptoms such as seizure to medical students at Clinical Performance Examination (CPX). We developed a new CPX case of child's seizure on video using smartphone.METHODS: A total of 356 4th-year students of five universities in Daegue-Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam area took the clinical skill examination from June 13th to 17th in 2016. Among them, 72 students took the new CPX case in June 15th and 71 students filled out the questionnaire on whether the new CPX with smartphone video is helpful, authentic, difficult, and necessary for other CPX. All the questions were measured on 5-Likert scale.RESULTS: Mean score of the new CPX was 57.1, lower than the mean scores of the other 11 CPX cases, 62.8. For the question “Smartphone videos helped to solve the problem”, 45 students (63.4%) answered ‘Very much’. For the question “Is it realistic compared to other questions?” 30 students (42.3%) and 25 students (35.2%) answered ‘Very much’ and ‘Much’. For the question “Is it difficult compared with other questions?” 18 students (25.4%) and 26 students (36.6%) answered ‘Very much’ and ‘Much’. As for the question “I would like to have more tests using smartphone video”, 26 students (36.6%) answered ‘So and so’.CONCLUSION: A majority of students responded that video presentation was helpful and authentic to figure out the CPX, whereas they assessed smartphone video was more difficult compared with other CPXs. Further, students were negative toward using smartphone video for the other CPXs.
