This study attempted to identify factors affecting the clinical nurse's medication safety competence. Data collection was conducted with 154 nurses working in two tertiary general hospitals. Data were analyzed using by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with SPSS 26.0 program. As a result of the study, medication safety competence had a statistically significant correlation with problem-solving ability and self-efficacy. The factors influencing medication safety competences were in order of self-efficacy, problem-solving ability, work pattern, and current site work experience, which together accounted for 64.7% of the total variance. Therefore, in order to improve the clinical nurse's medication safety competences, prioritizing the development of a program to enhance self-efficacy and problem-solving ability is required.

The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for improving the coping ability of clinical nurses by deeply analyzing and understanding the bioethics dilemma the clinical nurses experience in the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand the essence of bioethics dilemma the clinical nurses would experience in the COVID-19 pandemic, this study interviewed with a clinical nurse and then analyzed it by using Colaizzi (1978)'s phenomenological method. In the results of this study, total three theme clusters were drawn such as 'Agony to face a situation that violates the principle of respect for man's life and dignity', 'Frustration and confusion caused by the situation in which the principle of good deed and prohibition of evil deed cannot be kept', and 'Doubt about fulfilling and not fulfilling the principle of justice'. To improve the ability to cope with bioethics dilemma the clinical nurses experience in the pandemic situation based on the results of this study, it would be necessary to establish the education and policy for clinical nurses, and also to make efforts to improve the treatment of nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify nursing competencies of outpatient nurses, to develop a tool to assess the same, and to verify the validity and reliability of the tool. Method: Preliminary items of the scale were developed based on a literature review and nurses' interviews. The tool's content validity was verified by an expert panel and by conducting a pilot study. Subsequently, to verify the validity and reliability of the scale, data were collected from 233 outpatient nurses from 7 certified tertiary hospitals. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, independent t-test, and internal consistency and correlation analysis. Result: The factor analysis revealed the following 9 factors for the 48 items of the scale: organizational management, customer orientation, personality and ethics, problem solving, nursing practice, interpersonal relationships, communication, crisis management, and professionalism. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the final instrument was .97. Conclusion: The tool developed in this study exhibited adequate validity and reliability. It was effective in reflecting the changing roles of outpatient nurses. Therefore, in future, this tool is expected to help improve outpatient nurses' competencies and nursing quality.

This study aimed to deeply understand the employment support experience of mature nursing students. We interviewed 8 mature nursing students in universities in K and D, and analyzed the data through Colaizzi's method which was one of the phenomenological research method. It was composed of 4 themes and 8 sub-themes. The participants were preparing for employment by making efforts to increase the conformity of employment conditions while facing limitations to employment such as age. In addition, they were making efforts to find employment by finding their strengths as mature students, strengthening their will to work, and building a foundation for becoming professional nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an institutional foundation and develop a programme to support the employment of mature nursing students, and carry out specific and empirical follow-up studies.

1. 기초간호교육제도- 기초간호교육은 4년제 대학과정과 3년제 전문 대학과정의 두 제도가 있다. 수업년한, 졸업기준 학점이 다르다. ''학술의 심오한 이론, 그 정치하고 광범한 응용방법을 교수 연구하고 지도적 인격을 도야함''은 대학의 교육목적이며, 전문대학은 ''전문적 지식과 이론을 교수''연구하며 재능을 연마하여 중견 직업인을 양성함''으로 명시되었다. 전자는 학문과 지도력에 중점을 두었고 후자는 전문적 지식과 이론에 바탕을 둔 재능의 연마와 중견직업인에 역점을 두고 있다. 교육과정의 편성비율에 있어서도 대학과정과 전문대학 과정에 현저한 차가 있다. 전문대학은 총 이수학점 중 20$\%$를, 대학과정은 30$\%$를 교양과목으로 과하고 있고, 전문대학은 전공선택과 필수를 총 학점의 80$\%$로 하는데 비해 대학과정은 총 이수학점의 50$\%$ 내외로 하고 자유선택, 부전공 등에 나머지를 할애하고 있다(표 7, 표 8) 2. 계속교육제도- 계속교육제도는 정규교육제도에 포함되고 있는 대학원 과정과 보사부장관이 인정하는 특정 기관에서 개설하는 특수분야별 수습과정들로 나눌 수 있다. 대학원 과정은 간호학 전공 외에도 보건학 교육학동 인접학문 영역을 연구하여 학위를 받고 있고 서울대학교와 연세대학교에서 박사학위 과정을 개설하고 있다. 전공분야별 간호원의 자격인정은 보건간호, 마취간호, 정신간호 분야에 가능하나 극소수의 간호원 자격을 취득하고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine effects of auricular acupressure on knee pain, range of motion, and sleep in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: This is an experimental study designed with randomization and single-blind in a placebo-control approach. The subjects included the elderly with knee osteoarthritis who were using an elderly welfare facility. In each of the groups, 28 subjects were assigned. For the experimental group, auricular acupressure was applied to five pressure points related to the pain caused by osteoarthritis and sleep. In the case of the placebo-control group, auricular acupressure was applied to other five points than the former. The intervention lasted eight weeks. In order to examine intervention effects of auricular acupressure, joint pain, Pressure Pain Thresholds (PPTs), and extension and flexion range of motion (ROM) were measured weekly. As for the preand post-examinations, pain, sleep quality, and the time-by-sleep stage of the patients with knee osteoarthritis were measured. Results: The VAS scores in the experimental group with auricular acupressure significantly decreased through time (p<.001) and WOMAC also significantly decreased (p<.01) compared with the placebo-control group. However, there were no significant differences in PPTs. The flexion (p<.01) and extension (p<.001) ROMs measured for eight weeks improved over time. Meanwhile, sleep quality improved significantly after the intervention termination (p<.01), but there was no significant difference found in the time-by-sleep stage. Conclusion: Auricular acupressure applied for eight weeks was found to be effective in reducing joint pain, improving knee ROM, and improving sleep quality in patients with degenerative knee arthritis.
