CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Mayo Suzuki, PhD, Bunri University of Hospitality, Sayama-shi, 350-1336; mayo-suzuki@ bunri-c.ac.jp Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationships between human errors and the job performance capability of nurses. Methods: The subjects were all of the newly hired nurses of five facilities. A simulated case experience software and the Uchida-Kraepelin Test were used. For data analysis, the subjects were separated into the groups based on the judgment results of their performance on the Uchida-Kraepelin Test. The groups were then analyzed for differences in software scoring and correct answer ratio. In the analysis, SPSS 12.0 J for Windows was used. This study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kyoto University. Results: The analysis subjects numbered 65 people. The average age was 24.9±4.7. There were 58 females (89.2%). Membership alignment in the groups via the Uchida-Kraepelin Test results were as follows: 72.3% for the typical group; 35.4%, 58.5%, and 55.4% respectively for the groups with no problems in movability, changeability, and durability; 72.3% for the group sufficient in efficiency and speed of work; and 67.7% for the group with no problem in degree of balancing in terms of temperament and behavior. The software scoring average was 64.3±29.7 points, and the correct answer ratio for each error was 36.9% to 83.1%. For nurses grouped in the job performance characteristic types of atypical nurses and nurses with problems in degree of balancing in terms of temperament and behavior, the software scoring was significantly low. Also, the correct answer ratio for each error was significantly low for nurses grouped in the job performance characteristic types of atypical nurses, nurses with problems in degree of balancing in terms of temperament and behavior, and nurses with problems in durability. Conclusion: Subjects possessing the job performance characteristics of "atypical type" and "problems in degree of balancing in terms of temperament and behavior" had significantly lower scores of the software than subjects not possessing these characteristics. Childhood obesity has rapidly become an epidemic in developed countries globally (WHO, 2000) . The development of effective treatment initiatives aimed to help obese youth adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles is prudent. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise intensity on obese adolescents' enjoyment, satisfaction and program adherence. Thirty obese adolescents (female=20, BMI≥95th percentile; 10-16 years of age) were randomly assigned to either a moderate (HRR=40-55%) or vigorous (HRR=60-75%) supervised 12-week exercise training program. Satisfaction was measured through self-reported questionnaires assessing satisfaction with outcome progress and current state. Enjoyment was measured using the PACES selfreport questionnaire. Adherence was assessed as a percentage of sessions attended. Repeated measures ANOVAs showed no significant time x group interaction effects (all ps>.05). Significant time effects in the expected direction were found for satisfaction with outcome progress (F(1, 26) = 17.62, η2=.40, p<.001), satisfaction with current state (F(1, 26) = 5.97, η2=.18, p<.05) and enjoyment (F(1, 26) = 9.4, η2=.27, p<.005) . No adherence differences were found between intensity groups (M for vigorous=86%, SD=.09; M moderate=85%, SD=.14). These data indicate that exercise intensity does not adversely affect satisfaction, enjoyment or adherence. Practical implications of these findings will be discussed. Proper nutrition is the foundation for athletic performance. This session introduces a theory based multi-level intervention spanning a convenience sample of 16 sports (n=250 athletes) at a Midwestern University. This program provides athletes and staff education about sport-related nutritional issues for performance and recovery. Emphasis of this program is placed on choosing healthy foods and making positive behavior modifications. Several methods of data collection were used for this project. All athletes were given a validated knowledge and dietary practices survey that was based on the health belief model, the EAT 26 survey which screens for disordered eating behaviors was distributed, and body composition was also determined using a Tanita scale. All data was entered into SPSS 16.0. Statistical analysis was conducted using t-tests and descriptive statistics. Changes in baseline knowledge, dietary practices, and body composition data will be reported and discussed. Formative evaluation which includes adherence to program guidelines and recommendations for program improvement will also be reported. Based on the data and information collected Project Ignite shows substantial promise as a model program for improving collegiate athlete dietary practices and knowledge about sport nutrition related issues.
