The standardized training and assessment system for magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (with video)

Background and Aim To explore the feasibility of a standardized training and assessment system for magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG). Methods The results of 90 trainees who underwent the standardized training and assessment system of the MCCG at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from May 2020 to November 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. The trainees were divided into three groups according to their medical backgrounds: doctor, nurse, and non-medical groups. The training and assessment system adopted the ‘7 + 2’ mode, seven days of training plus two days of theoretical and operational assessment. The passing rates of theoretical, operational, and total assessment were the primary outcomes. Satisfaction and mastery of the MCCG was checked. Results Ninety trainees were assessed; theoretical assessment’s passing rates in the three groups were 100%. The operational and total assessment passing rates were 100% (25/25), 97.92% (47/48), and 94.12% (16/17), for the doctor, nurse, and non-doctor groups respectively, with no significant difference (χ2 = 1.741, p = 0.419). No bleeding or perforation occurred during the procedure. Approximately, 96.00% (24/25), 95.83% (46/48), and 94.12% (16/17) of the doctor, nurse and non-medical groups anonymously expressed great satisfaction, respectively, without statistically significant difference (χ2 = 0.565, p = 1.000). The average follow-up time was 4–36 months, and 87 trainees (96.67%) had mastered the operation of the MCCG in daily work. Conclusions Standardized training and assessment of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopists is effective and feasible. Additionally, a strict assessment system and long-term communication and learning can improve teaching effects.

The impact of gamification on training, work engagement, and job satisfaction in banking

AbstractThis study contributes to the comparative analysis of outcomes between gamified and traditional training systems in the banking sector. On‐the‐job training is a vital aspect of the process of enhancing work performance within organizations. Thus, by employing a case‐based asymmetric configural approach rooted in nonlinear and contrarian case analysis, this research investigates the impact of gamified training on human resource development. A global empirical survey of 388 banking employees revealed that a combination of complexity theory and configural analysis provides valuable insights into the outcomes of both gamified and conventional training methods. In the face of increasing competition, banks are compelled to enhance their professionalism by boosting employee motivation. It becomes apparent that there is no straightforward, necessary and sufficient path available to guarantee high levels of engagement and job satisfaction. Notably, some of these results challenge the expectations of self‐determination theory (SDT), which posits the satisfaction of three basic psychological needs during training. These findings contribute to an enriched understanding of the nuanced application of complexity theory in the context of SDT research, particularly regarding the training and development of gamified systems for banking organizations and other service‐oriented sectors that can benefit from such innovative training approaches.

The Validity and Reliability of a Real-Time Biofeedback System for Lumbopelvic Control Training in Baseball Players

Background: This study validates real-time biofeedback for lumbopelvic control training in baseball. The lumbopelvic region is crucial for generating kinetic energy in pitching. Real-time biofeedback enhances training effectiveness and reduces injury risk. The validity and reliability of this system were examined. Purpose: This study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the real-time biofeedback system for lumbopelvic control training. Methods: Twelve baseball players participated in this study, with data collected in two sessions separated by a week. All participants needed to do the lateral slide exercise and single-leg squat exercise in each session. Pelvic angles detected by the real-time biofeedback system were compared to the three-dimensional motion capture system (VICON) during training sessions. Additionally, pelvic angles measured by the biofeedback system were compared between the two training sessions. Results: The real-time biofeedback system exhibited moderate to strong correlations with VICON in both exercises: lateral slide exercise (r = 0.66–0.88, p < 0.05) and single-leg squat exercise (r = 0.70–0.85, p < 0.05). Good to excellent reliability was observed between the first and second sessions for both exercises: lateral slide exercise (ICC = 0.76–0.97) and single-leg squat exercise (ICC = 0.79–0.90). Conclusions: The real-time biofeedback system for lumbopelvic control training, accurately providing the correct pelvic angle during training, could enhance training effectiveness.

Organization of Effective Interaction Between the Employer and the Educational Organization in the Professional Training of Engineers

The development of modern industry actualizes the issues of organizing interaction with educational organizations that conduct professional training of engineers, because the "personnel shortage" is obvious. On the other hand, educational organizations cannot carry out professional training without focusing on the requirements of industry, and without fulfilling the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard 3++ in terms of practical training. Thus, the organization of effective interaction between the employer and the educational organization is necessary for both sides of the process.The authors of the article highlighted the conditions for the organization of interaction between an employer and an educational organization, compliance with which will help bring the professional training of engineering personnel to a qualitatively new level and make it the most effective. These authors include: taking into account and using the historically established experience of Russian and Soviet vocational education; application of the practice of interaction of foreign educational organizations; application of the principles of continuity, continuity; the intersection of the educational space of the educational organization and the internal environment of the enterprise; creation of a regional sectoral integration educational space.The purpose of the article is to describe the conditions for effective interaction between an employer and an educational organization. The authors give examples of foreign and domestic pedagogical experience that can be used in the practice of vocational training.Within the framework of this study, the following methods were used: the method of historical and pedagogical research was used to study foreign and domestic pedagogical experience. The conclusions were formulated through the use of the method of observation of the educational process and the analysis of pedagogical experience.The authors come to the conclusion that compliance with the conditions described in the publication is important and can be used to create a pedagogical system of professional training of engineers.

Effectiveness and feasibility of 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training in critical care

BackgroundUltrasound has widely used in various medical fields related to critical care. While online and offline ultrasound trainings are faced by certain challenges, remote ultrasound based on the 5G cloud platform has been gradually adopted in many clinics. However, no study has used the 5G remote ultrasound cloud platform operating system for standardized critical care ultrasound training. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training for standardized diagnosis and treatment in critical care settings.MethodsA 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training system was constructed, and the course was piloted among critical care physicians. From July 2022 to July 2023, 90 critical care physicians from multiple off-site locations were enrolled and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The 45 physicians in the experimental group were trained using the 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training system, while the other 45 in the control group were taught using theoretical online videos. The theoretical and practical ultrasonic capabilities of both groups were evaluated before and after the training sessions, and their levels of satisfaction with the training were assessed as well.ResultsThe total assessment scores for all of the physicians were markedly higher following the training (80.7 ± 11.9) compared to before (42.1 ± 13.4) by a statistically significant margin (P < 0.001). Before participating in the training, the experimental group scored 42.2 ± 12.5 in the critical care ultrasound competency, and the control group scored 41.9 ± 14.3—indicating no significant differences in their assessment scores (P = 0.907). After participating in the training, the experimental group’s assessment scores were 88.4 ± 6.7, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (72.9 ± 10.8; P < 0.001). The satisfaction score of the experimental group was 42.6 ± 2.3, which was also significantly higher than that of the control group (34.7 ± 3.1, P < 0.001).ConclusionThe 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training system was well-received and effective for critical care. These findings warrant its further promotion and application.

Food Environment in Burkina Faso: Review of Public Policies and Government Actions Using the Food-EPI Tool.

Governments have a central role to play in creating a food environment that will enable people to have and maintain healthy eating practices. This study analyzes public policies and government actions related to creating healthy food environments in Burkina Faso. The Healthy Food Environment Policy Index tool used for this study has 2 components, 13 domains, and 56 indicators of good practice adapted to the Burkina Faso context. Official policy documents collected from data sources such as government and nongovernment websites, and through interviews with government and nongovernment resource persons, provided evidence of considerations of food environment in public policy documents in Burkina Faso. Policies documents show a lack of revision of old texts and administrative processes for new policies and government practices are very slow. Added to this is the absence of a regulatory document for some implemented actions. The analysis of the documents collected in relation to the indicators of Food-Epi tool shows that there is no evidence of consideration of food environments for the indicators concerning the regulation of nutrition and health claims, labeling, taxes on healthy and unhealthy foods, support systems for training for private structures on healthy diets, implementation of food guidelines, and food trade and investment. This study permits a review of public policies that take into account food environments through the various indicators and constitutes a starting point from which improvements can be made by the government.

AI Based IT Training System

Retaining learner engagement is a major challenge in online learning environments, which is even more intensified with learning spaces increasingly built by combining resources from multiple independent sources. Narrative-centric learning experience has been found to improve learner engagement by several researchers. Towards this end, we propose an AI-based approach that generates auxiliary learning content called narrative fragments which are interspersed into the learning pathways to create interactive learning narratives. The proposed approach consists of the automatic generation of two types of narrative fragments– overviews of the learning pathway segments and reflection quizzes or formative assessments from learning resources in any format including open educational resources. The pipeline for the generation of the narrative fragments consists of various components based on different semantic models and a natural language generation (NLG) component based on a pre- trained language model GPT-2 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2). Automation enables the generation of narrative fragments on the fly whenever there are changes in the learning pathway due to the need for reiteration of concepts, pre-requisite knowledge acquisition, etc., enabling adaptability in the learning pathways. The proposed approach is domain agnostic which makes it easily adaptable to different domains. The NLG model is evaluated using ROUGE scores against several baselines. Automatically generated narrative fragments are evaluated by human evaluators. We obtained encouraging results in both cases

CURRENT TRENDS OF TRAINING SPECIALISTS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY THROUGH THE PRISM OF ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

The article focuses attention on the need to research modern trends in the training of pharmaceutical industry specialists through the prism of deontological and professional standards. It was established that the modern system of professional training of future specialists in the pharmaceutical industry was influenced by the changes that the industry underwent after Ukraine gained independence: a significant reduction in the range and volume of production of domestic pharmaceutical products, orientation towards European standards of professional training of specialists, compliance with the ethical principles of the work of pharmaceutical specialists. It is noted that the Code of Ethics of Pharmaceutical Workers of Ukraine became the basic regulatory regulator of pharmacist professional ethics in Ukraine, but the further development of international legislation requires adaptation of the domestic pharmaceutical education system to its requirements. The article analyzes the key normative documents that determine the deontological and professional standards for the training of pharmaceutical industry specialists. Modern trends in the training of specialists in the pharmaceutical industry are defined as: the focus on increasing the prestige of the pharmacist profession, raising its status and improving its image in society; compliance with high standards of professional behavior of pharmaceutical industry specialists; strengthening of patient- and client-oriented professional activity in the field of pharmacy, which meets the modern requirements of deontological and professional standards regarding the transfer of emphasis from subject-object interaction in the specialist-client-patient plane to subject-subject interaction; strengthening the professional autonomy of pharmacists among other specialists of the health care system.

STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL MODEL OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE FORMATION OF FUTURE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF HMEI

The article updates the problem of the formation of professional competence of future military intelligence officers in the information and educational environment of a higher military educational institution, substantiates the theoretical foundations of professional training of future officers. The need to protect the territorial integrity of our state was analyzed, which determined the importance of the challenges posed to the transformation of military education into the professional training of Ukrainian officers. It is noted that one of the directions of the development of an effective system of military education, with the aim of gaining full membership of Ukraine in NATO, is the modernization of the officer training system, strengthening the integrity of the professional training of military specialists. It has been observed that military-professional education in accordance with the principles of the military doctrine of the state, target instructions of military policy and science, state educational standards, within which the professional training of future military intelligence officers is carried out, is based on the educational-professional program, the modern model of training competent specialists taking into account the methods preparation of NATO member countries. It has been found that the social order of society to ensure the interests of national security and defense of the state for the training of military specialists in higher military educational institutions, in accordance with modern requirements, determines the important problem of forming the professional competence of future military intelligence officers and the development of a structural and functional model of such a process in conditions of the informational and educational environment. It was found that modeling allows to analyze the real content, establish goals, highlight the main components of the structure, essential features, relationships, graphically display the functional specificity and determine the formation of professional competence of future military intelligence officers. A structural-functional model for the formation of professional competence of future military intelligence officers in the information and educational environment of higher military educational institutions has been developed, which contains blocks: conceptual-target (social order, goal, task, conceptual and methodological approaches, principles, functions), procedural- technological (informational and educational environment at higher military educational institutions, organizational and pedagogical conditions, stages, components, methods, forms, means, technologies, educational disciplines), effective (criteria, level indicators, result).

Practical training of future teachers as prevention of psychological barriers in inclusive education

Introduction. Currently, international organizations pay special attention to the development of inclusive education system, which, taking into account the special educational needs of everyone, provides quality education at the place of residence and full socialization of people with disabilities. Inclusiveness has become one of the main components of the modern educational system, but at the moment there is a problem of occurrence of psychological barriers in teachers, which is poorly studied and requires detailed research. The aim of the article is to consider the problem of preventing the emergence of psychological barriers in inclusive education in students of pedagogical directions through practical professional training, including the development of their communicative and organizational abilities. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov (NEFU) among students studying in the following fields of training: "Special (defectology) education", "Pedagogical education", "Psychological and pedagogical education", in the number of 122 people, aged from 18 to 23 years. The following methods were used: analysis of sources, regulatory and educational-methodical documents of the North-Eastern Federal University on practical training of students, observation and surveys using the method of E.S. Slyusareva "Psychological barriers of teachers in the process of interaction in an inclusive educational environment" and the method "Assessment of communicative and organizational abilities" (V.V. Sinyavsky, V.A. Fedoroshin), statistical processing of the results by U-Manna-Whitney test. Results of the research. The system of practical training of higher education students for pedagogical activity in inclusive education of future teachers, including practice-oriented educational process, socially significant public activity is developed. A separate aspect of this training is the prevention of psychological barriers in inclusive education in future teachers. The application of the developed system of training contributed to the effective development of communicative and organizational abilities of students, and also demonstrated reliably significant reductions in the criteria "barrier of mental tension (anxiety, inability to initiate contact with a child with disabilities, etc.)" Uemp=178,5; p&lt;0,001, and "difficulties of choice and transfer of knowledge about the psychological characteristics of children with disabilities in the process of inclusive education", Uemp=248; p&lt;0,043, which indicates that the conducted preventive and developmental work contributed to a decrease in the expression of the presence of difficulties of choice and transfer of knowledge about the psychological characteristics of children with disabilities in the process of inclusive education. Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the need to rethink the organization and content of the practical component of higher pedagogical education in the aspect of preventing the emergence of psychological barriers in inclusive education in future teachers through the development of their communicative and organizational abilities in the system of practice-oriented learning.

Auditory discrimination learning differentially modulates neural representation in auditory cortex subregions and inter-areal connectivity

Changes in sound-evoked responses in the auditory cortex (ACtx) occur during learning, but how learning alters neural responses in different ACtx subregions and changes their interactions is unclear. To address these questions, we developed an automated training and widefield imaging system to longitudinally track the neural activity of all mouse ACtx subregions during a tone discrimination task. We find that responses in primary ACtx are highly informative of learned stimuli and behavioral outcomes throughout training. In contrast, representations of behavioral outcomes in the dorsal posterior auditory field, learned stimuli in the dorsal anterior auditory field, and inter-regional correlations between primary and higher-order areas are enhanced with training. Moreover, ACtx response changes vary between stimuli, and such differences display lag synchronization with the learning rate. These results indicate that learning alters functional connections between ACtx subregions, inducing region-specific modulations by propagating behavioral information from primary to higher-order areas.

The dominants of practical training in the design of educational programmes of pedagogical profile

Introduction. Various aspects of practical training are being revised under the influence of integration, digitalisation and other transformations. The orientation of the educational vector towards practiceoriented training models involves identifying the components of practical training, conditions for its implementation, as well as studying and identifying effective approaches to its design. The purpose of the article is to identify the dominants of practical skills training of students in the design of educational programmes of pedagogical profile. Materials and methods. The research materials were 96 bachelor's educational programmes developed and implemented in 2019-2022 in different Russian universities in the fields of training “Pedagogical education” and “Special (defectological) education”, normative documents regulating the organisation of practical training at the level of higher education. The main research methods were comparative, focused on identifying the invariant components of the practical training system, and descriptive, used in characterising its individual aspects. Results. Models for designing practical training have been identified, the organizational model predominates (80%), in other cases (20%) various structural and content models are used. Distinctive design features of practical training have been identified: formal combination of disciplines and practices within the modules of the educational program (74%), intradisciplinary integration of learning components (17%), interdisciplinary partial integration of learning components (9%). The invariant structural features of modern models of practical education, forming its dominants, which include target, procedural-activity, content, and result aspects, have been established. Conclusion. The obtained research materials are significant for deeper understanding of the essence of practical training, allow to identify its invariant components, which are characterized by predictive potential and ensure the integrity of professional and personal development of a future teacher.

Analysis of drivers’ take-over ability improvement and behavioral steady state in human–machine codriving vehicles

During human–machine codriving, drivers need to take over the vehicle when a take-over request (TOR) appears. If drivers have not received relevant training before driving, they may be unable to complete the take-over within the limited time, or the stability of subsequent vehicle control may be insufficient, which can lead to accidents. In this study, two types of take-over ability improvement methods are proposed. Participants were recruited and randomly divided into a control group (n = 15, no take-over training) and two experimental groups (n = 15, text-based training; n = 15, behavioral spectrum-based training). One-way ANOVA or the Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc contrasts were used to analyze the differences in data indicators between the three groups of drivers after 20 take-over operations, and another method was proposed to validate the efficiency of the take-over operations on the stability of take-over ability. The results show that compared with the control group, both experimental groups demonstrated a significant improvement in take-over ability, with the behavioral spectrum-based training group exhibiting better take-over performance than the text-based training group. Moreover, after 14 take-over operations, drivers’ take-over ability in the behavioral spectrum-based training group stabilized. The findings of this study can contribute to the safety of human–machine codriving vehicles and the design of future driver training systems.

Grapevine pruning strategy affects trunk disease symptoms, wood pathobiome and mycobiome

Vine training and pruning are cultural strategies that can be deployed to manage grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs). Forty-year-old commercial vineyards in the Cognac region, France, trained to either Guyot-Arcure (severe pruning) or Guyot-Poussard (minimal pruning), were studied to determine how the two systems affected trunk disease symptomatology. Effects of pruning practices on the pathobiome and mycobiome of asymptomatic grapevines were also assessed, using culture- and amplicon-based Illumina sequencing approaches. The hypothesis examined was that severe pruning of Guyot-Arcure increases trunk diseases incidence and severity, and causes higher pathogen load and microbial diversity, compared to Guyot-Poussard. Numbers of symptomatic and asymptomatic vines for the two training systems were recorded over 3 years, including numbers of vines with esca foliar symptoms, and partially unproductive and dead vines. Six asymptomatic vines from each pruning method were selected, and culturing and sequencing data were obtained from 27 samples per vine. Fungi in the Phaeomoniellaceae, Togniniaceae, and Botryosphaeriaceae were the most frequently identified. The data indicated that severe pruning increased risk of pathogen infections, with Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, Phaeoacremonium minimum and Diplodia sp. being the most commonly identified fungi. Greater numbers of dead or dying vines were recorded in the severely pruned vineyard, indicating that this strategy shortens vine longevity. Results also showed that severe pruning increased endophytic microbial diversity, and that the pruning methods influenced mycobiome community composition. This knowledge will improve recommendations to growers for practical and cost-effective ways to manage GTDs.

소방특별사법경찰의 수사에 관한 직무집행능력 향상 방안연구

This study focuses on fire special judicial police and measures to improve their ability to carry out their duties regarding investigations by securing expertise as the subject of investigation of violators of fire laws and regulations in the area of fire administration, improving the hiring system, establishing a unified investigation-only organization, and strengthening the education and training system. The purpose is to present. The research method was an exploratory analysis of related previous research papers, statistical yearbooks such as the National Fire Agency, operation cases in foreign countries such as the United States, various government reports, homepages of Korean government ministries, and media reports. As a result of the analysis, there are only a very small number of personnel dedicated to investigative work, most of them hold other positions concurrently, the investigative position does not have a division-level structure, so independence is not secured, there is no public recruitment or special recruitment system for fire chiefs or lower to perform front-line investigative work, and no training for job training. Course opening was also insufficient. In conclusion, avoid the new investigative field recruitment or special recruitment system and rotational personnel system, designate the fire and special judicial police duties as a specialized field, ensure job continuity, establish a unified organization, develop a job training course, and complete at least 6 months of professional training. The introduction of an education system should be implemented quickly.

A Comparison of Training and Dispatch Criteria for Security Personnel in 119 Domestic and Overseas General Situation Rooms

This study proposes an efficient way to strengthen work capabilities based on a comparison of the education and training of guard personnel before and after their deployment in the 119 Emergency Operations Center, which is in charge of elementary responses to various disasters and accidents, with that given to advanced foreign situation personnel. Only one area of Gyeonggi-do Province was identified in an internal document on personnel standards for moving into the situation room in Korea, and it was found that most of the situation room agents were used for situation room work through the informal OJT training of senior members of each city and provincial headquarters before deployment. Japan, like Korea, is organized into several prefectures and operates the same Emergency Operations Center or Joint Command Center. However, the most distinctive feature of the Japanese system with respect to Korea is that situation room agents are employed in the day-to-day operations of the command center after education with systematic and clear contents before being put into the work of the Emergency Operations Center. Similarly, the United States comprises 50 states, each with its own laws and emergency management systems. However, the federal government actively controls disaster safety and establishes and operates regulations by state, and each state has education and training, certification standards, and supplementary education regulations for existing agents. In Germany, there is a specific system of vocational education and training to become a worker in the Emergency Operations Center, and the curricula in vocational schools for security personnel, as well as the admission requirements and professional qualifications, are specified by the government.

LABOUR MARKET IN UKRAINE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A YEAR OF FULL-SCALE WAR

The main purpose of this research article is a comprehensive study of the transformational impact of a full-scale war on the labour market, with a special focus on the challenges posed by labour force dynamics in the context of the Ukrainian economy. Through rigorous analysis and empirical research, the paper aims to identify and highlight the multifaceted changes that occur in the labour market during conflict, shedding light on the complex relationship between war-induced factors and the composition of the labour force. By examining these dynamics, the paper aims to make a valuable contribution to policy and strategic decision-making aimed at mitigating the negative effects of war on the labour market, which will ultimately contribute to sustainable economic recovery and development after the conflict ends. Methodology. This research article uses secondary analysis of data from the State Employment Service, as well as the results of surveys conducted by sociological groups and consulting companies. The practical implementation of the conclusions outlined in this article involves the formulation of targeted recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of state policy on the labour market in Ukraine, in particular, with a focus on the restoration of human resources in the post-conflict period. Drawing on the findings of a comprehensive analysis of war-induced labour market changes, these practical recommendations aim to offer actionable strategies for policy makers and stakeholders. Emphasising the need for rapid and adaptive interventions, the authors call for evidence-based decision-making to address the identified challenges. The practical implementation of these recommendations aims to guide the development and implementation of policies that will not only mitigate the immediate impact of the war on the labour market, but also contribute to the long-term sustainability and stability of the Ukrainian labour force. Value/Originality. Current trends in the labour market are analysed. The main threats to the labour market of Ukraine and the impact on the supply and demand of labour under martial law are identified. The author proposes to regulate the professional and qualification imbalance in the labour market through the system of advanced training or retraining of employees seeking employment in a profession in demand in the economy; spreading new forms of employment and supporting self-employment; investing in the creation of new jobs with decent conditions and remuneration.

The Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction in the Relationship between Work-Life Balance and Quality of Life in Hairdresser

This study verified the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the relationship between work-life balance and quality of life of hair beauty workers. From January 20 to February 21, 2023, 250 questionnaires were distributed and collected to hair beauty workers in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Seoul, Gyeonggi, Busan, and Gyeongnam regions. A total of 219 copies, excluding insincere responses, were used for analysis. SPSS 26.0K was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way batch variance analysis, and correlation analysis were performed. Process macro model No. 4 was used for mediating analysis. As a result of the study, work-life balance has a significant positive(+) effect on job satisfaction (B=.58, t=13.28, p&lt;.000), Job satisfaction had a significant positive(+) effect on the quality of life (B=.40, t=6.09, p&lt;.000). The total effect of work-life balance on quality of life was B=.92 (p&lt;.000), but the direct effect was reduced to B=.69 (p&lt;.000) due to the input of job satisfaction, so it was verified that job satisfaction was mediated. In order to improve the quality of life of hair care workers, the quality of life can be further improved by increasing job satisfaction along with work-life balance. Therefore, industrial companies must provide job training and various welfare systems to increase the job satisfaction of employees.
