The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and college life adaptation to nursing and health-related college students who participated in the extracurricular activities through untact education. 56 students were assigned to the experimental group (n=28) and control group (n=28). Survey was performed to investigate self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and college life adjustment. Subjects of the experimental group underwent an 50-min extracurricular program eight times, which was progressed in untact education using online system. This program included educational activities related to exercise therapy, phylotherapy, hand reflexology, ear reflexology, and art therapy, which aims to develop supplementary and integrative educational materials for people with cognitive impairment. Process has led by three steps: (1) the understandings of disability and supplementary and integrative concepts, (2) case application and presentation, and (3) conference. However, subjects of the control group did not attend to the program. There were no statistically significant differences in self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and college life adjustment between the experimental and control groups (p<.05). These findings suggest that untact extracurricular educational courses might not lead to positivie influence on self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and college life adjustment. This results from educational limitations, lack of direct experience of the subjects, and insufficient duration of extracurricular activities. Therefore, a face-to-face extracurricular activities should be recommended for college students in nursing and health fields since they are helpful to improve practical experience in education. Also, it is suggested to operate them in consideration of the composition of the volunteers and the duration of their activities.
