    The study was designed to compare the method of thoracic breathing with the method of abdominal breathing, taking measure of indexes of physiology on an utilization to pregnant women.
    36 non-pregnant healthy women (21.7±0.8 years of age) were chosen as the subjects of the study.
    The results may be summarized as follows;
    (1) There were significant differences in heart rate of a slow and deep breathing style between the thoracic and abdominal breathing, but was no significant difference in other physiological index in both breathings.
    (2) The thoracic breathing was higher tcPO₂ levels and lower tcPCO₂ than attempts on the abdominal breathing and the resting level, therefore the thoracic breathing indicates the possibility of the condition of hyperventilation easily than the abdominal breathing.
    (3) Take a slow and deep abdominal breathing showed more decrease heart rate than the resting level, and a rapid breathing showed remarkably lower the diastolic blood pressure.
    According to our result this time, it seems to be quite all right to use both breathings during term of delivery.

    1) Each light stimulus towards eyes influenced the velocity of blood stream in cutaneous microcirculation of the human body.
    2) By the same color stimulation, the stronger light influenced their change less, such as the yellow light of 100lux, showing much more change of the cutaneous microcirculation, compared with the same color light of 600lux.
    3) By the same lux, different colors' stimuli influenced the microcirculation. The longer of the color wave-length, the stronger were the influences of the microcirculation, so that the largest influencing color was red, next yellow, then green and the weakest was the blue light.
    4) By the same color and by same lux, according to the level of the anxiety state, the color light stimuli influenced the microcirculation.
    The higher the anxiety level the higher was the circulation in velocity, except the green light stimulation.

    The ability of self-education means the ability to teach oneself by one's own effort. Nurses, as they must develop themselves into professionals, need the ability of self-education.
    476 students in nursing colleges were asked to fill out the questionnaire of self-education ability (Kajita).
    The factor analysis by all the year grade groups detected the pride factor which was significantly different between the first year grade group and third year grade group, showing the higher level in the former class than the latter. The factor structures of the 1st and 2nd year grade groups resembled each other, but that of the 3rd year grade group was different from them. This seems to be caused by the diversity of the educational environment surrouding them.
    The consciousness of the nursing students changes itself so rapidly, seeming to be caused by their living style in which they experience frequently reflecting upon themselves.
