    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of psychological separation and health locus of control on the health care transition readiness of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with type 1 diabetes.
    Methods: Data were collected between December 2020 and October 2021. One hundred twelve AYAs with type 1 diabetes treated at a tertiary hospital and under follow-up observation as well as AYAs with type 1 diabetes nationwide who were part of the type 1 diabetes internet community were enrolled. The Psychological Separation Inventory, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale from C, and the Self-management and Transition to Adulthood with Therapeutics = Rx Questionnaire were used.
    Results: Multiple regression analysis indicated that age (β = 0.302, p = .001), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (β = -0.174, p = .040), conflictual separation (β = 0.242, p = .005), functional separation (β = 0.200, p = .045) and attitudinal separation (β = -0.240 p = .015) were significantly associated with health management transition readiness; these predictors explained 27.6% of health care transition readiness (F = 8.062, p = .000).
    Conclusions: AYAs with type 1 diabetes can enhance readiness for health care transition by fostering psychological separation from parents, effectively managing blood glucose levels, and taking into account age-related factors during the preparation process. At this point, it is essential for healthcare professionals to guide parents in recognizing adolescents' psychological independence and facilitating their supportive role through the process of redefining their roles.
    Practice implications: Health care providers should promote psychological separation in AYAs. Additionally, taking into account the developmental characteristics of adolescence can facilitate a successful health care transition.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare perceived parental empathy between adolescents with and without leukemia.
    Methods: This study used a cross-sectional, descriptive design. Thirty-eight adolescents with leukemia and 205 without, completed a self-reported questionnaire regarding their perceptions of parental empathy and general characteristics. For this comparative study, adolescents were selected through matched sampling, and 38 adolescents per group were used for analysis. Data were examined using independent t-tests.
    Results: In terms of parental empathy, excessive emotional reactions and cold emotional reactions were perceived more frequently by adolescents with leukemia than healthy adolescents. Differences between the two groups were statistically significant.
    Conclusion: Since parents caring for children with leukemia have an extra burden in caring for their children, these parents are continuously anxious about prognoses, and tend to feel guilty for their child's disease. Thus, healthcare providers need to develop a program for improving the ability of parents of cancer patients to demonstrate empathy, focusing on how to recognize and manage what may be perceived by their children as excessive or cold emotional reactions, and must take a role in communicating to parents how adolescents with leukemia perceive parental rearing behaviors and the impacts of these behaviors on their well-being.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of fatherhood among fathers of high-risk neonates and their confidence regarding neonatal care.
    Methods: A study was conducted of 100 fathers whose neonates had been admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for at least 48 hours. Perceptions of fatherhood, neonatal characteristics, and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were measured using a self-reported questionnaire. The survey took approximately 10 minutes to complete and was completed anonymously. The factors that affected fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care were analyzed using multiple regression.
    Results: The scores for positive and negative perceptions of fatherhood were relatively high at 4.27 and 3.42 out of 5 points, respectively. A positive perception of fatherhood was found to influence fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care.
    Conclusion: NICU nurses should encourage fathers to effectively perform their parenting roles by implementing educational programs and interventions to promote positive perceptions of fatherhood and fathers' confidence regarding neonatal care after discharge.

    Abstract This investigation has shown the feasibility of modulation in physical properties for multiple outsole designs with 3-, 4-, and 6-pointed star-shaped patterns and various thicknesses for 5, 7.5, and 10 mm, which were fabricated with a FDM 3D printer using lightweight TPU filament, where the physical and foot pressure distribution properties were evaluated to confirm the best quality and comfort outsole. Through varying the structural pattern designs in combination with optimal 3D-printing parameters, the physical properties of the TPU LW-3, 4, and 6-PS outsoles were confirmed with enhanced properties along with increased thicknesses. In this study, the morphology images revealed a lower foaming state, a better-fused interlayer, and fewer microvoids in the TPU LW-3, 4, and 6-PS outsole, as the thickness developed, indicating enhanced density and rigidity. The best physical property was confirmed at LW 3-PS-10 with 0.706 specific gravity, 68.3 g weight, 0.232

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the trajectory of mothers caring for children with blood cancer.
    Method: Fourteen mothers of children with blood cancer participated in in-depth interviews, from 30 min to 2 h in length, from July 1 through September 30, 2019. Grounded theory was used to investigate the trajectory for mothers of children with blood cancer. Purposive sampling and semi-structured questionnaires were employed to obtain in-depth interviews.
    Results: 10 categories and 28 concepts were extracted from the raw data. The core category was 'living with anxiety: from life to independence of their sick child' which consisted of three phases: feeling chaos, immersing oneself in treatment, and returning to normal life. In the trajectory of mothers of caring for children with blood cancer, some participants felt like being on an island and hope to forget, whereas others tended to thank for the support of those near and find their own life according to the dimension of anxiety, support from others, and acceptance of illness.
    Conclusions: Healthcare providers must have a better understanding of how the mothers of children with blood cancer can accept and cope with their child's illness in spite of the ongoing anxiety as well as need to explore the ways in which families can accept their child's chronic illness and reconstruct their life.

    Abstract Currently, metal is the most common exterior material used in robot development due to the need to protect the motor. However, as soft, wearable, and humanoid robots are gradually being developed, many robot parts need to be converted into artificial skin using flexible materials. In this study, in order to develop soft exterior parts for robots, we intended to manufacture exterior robot arm parts via fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing according to various structural and thickness conditions and analyze their mechanical properties. The exterior parts of the robot arms were manufactured utilizing Shore 95 A TPU (eTPU, Esun, Shenzhen, China), which is renowned for its softness and exceptional shock absorption characteristics. The exterior robot arm parts were modeled in two parts, the forearm and upper arm, by applying solid (SL) and re-entrant (RE) structures and thicknesses of 1, 2, and 4 mm. The mechanical properties were analyzed through the use of three-point bending, tensile, and compression testing. All of the characterizations were analyzed using a universal testing machine (AGS-X, SHIMADZU, Kyoto, Japan). After testing the samples, it was confirmed that the RE structure was easily bendable towards the bending curve and required less stress. In terms of the tensile tests, the results were similar to the bending tests; to achieve the maximum point, less stress was required, and for the compression tests, the RE structure was able to withstand the load compared to the SL structure. Therefore, after analyzing all three thicknesses, it was confirmed that the RE structure with a 2 mm thickness had excellent characteristics in terms of bending, tensile, and compressive properties. Therefore, the re-entrant pattern with a 2 mm thickness is more suitable for manufacturing a 3D-printed humanoid robot arm.

    Abstract In this study, to develop soft pressure sensor applicable to wearable robots using stretchable polymers and conductive fillers, 3.25 wt% carbon nanotubes/thermoplastic polyurethane filament with shore 94 A were manufactured. Three infill densities (20%, 50%, and 80%) and patterns (zigzag (ZG), triangle (TR), honeycomb (HN)) were applied to print cubes via fused filament fabrication 3D printing. Most suitable infill conditions were confirmed based on the slicing images, morphologies, compressive properties, electrical properties, and electrical heating properties. For each infill pattern, ZG and TR divided the layers into lines and figures, and the layers were stacked by rotation. For HN, the same layers were stacked in a hexagonal pattern. Consequently, TR divided layer in various directions, showed the strongest compressive properties with toughness 1.99 J for of infill density 80%. Especially, the HN became tougher with increased infill density. Also, the HN laminated with the same layer showed excellent electrical properties, with results greater than 14.7 mA. The electrical heating properties confirmed that ZG and HN had the high layer density, which exhibited excellent heating characteristics. Therefore, it was confirmed that performance varies depending on the 3D printing direction, and it was confirmed that HN is suitable for manufacturing soft sensors.

    Abstract This study purposed to develop conductivity 3D printed (3DP) fingertips and confirm their potential for use in a pressure sensor. Index fingertips were 3D printed using thermoplastic polyurethane filament with three types of infill patterns (Zigzag (ZG), Triangles (TR), Honeycomb (HN)) and densities (20%, 50%, 80%). Hence, the 3DP index fingertip was dip-coated with 8 wt% graphene/waterborne polyurethane composite solution. The coated 3DP index fingertips were analyzed by appearance property, weight changes, compressive property, and electrical property. As results, the weight increased from 1.8 g to 2.9 g as infill density increased. By infill pattern, ZG was the largest, and the pick-up rate decreased from 18.9% for 20% infill density to 4.5% for 80% infill density. Compressive properties were confirmed. Compressive strength increased as infill density increased. In addition, the compressive strength after coating was improved more than 1000 times. Especially, TR had excellent compressive toughness as 13.9 J for 20%, 17.2 J for 50%, and 27.9 J for 80%. In the case of electrical properties, the current become excellent at 20% infill density. By infill patterns at 20% infill density, TR has 0.22 mA as the best conductivity. Therefore, we confirmed the conductivity of 3DP fingertips, and the infill pattern of TR at 20% was most suitable.
