The study was carried out to identify the relationship of patients' self-rating and nurses' rating on health literacy of hospitalized patients. Data were collected using the Korean Functional Health Literacy Test (KFHLT) which was revised for hospitalized patients and Single Item Literacy Screener. A total of 178 subjects, which consisted of 89 hospitalized patients and 89 nurses taking care of them, were recruited from medical and surgical wards of E university hospital. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 program. The results showed that the average health literacy score of the subjects was $11.45{\pm}4.22$ out of 17 and the average correct answer rate was 67.3%. Patient health literacy was significantly different by age, education, occupation and reading handouts. The patients' self-rating had significant correlation with health literacy measured by KFHLT while nurses' rating did not. There was no significant correlation between patients' self-rating and nurses' rating. The findings suggest that patients' self-rating might be available to assess patient health literacy in hospitals and a careful approach is required when nurses use a single-item rating.

This study was conducted to establish and verify a theoretical model that explains the factors and pathways influencing the psychological well-being of nurses. The subjects of this study were nurses working in four general hospitals with over 200 beds in B city and G province. The results of verifying the path coefficient of the nurses' job rotation stress showed that job rotation stress had a significant effect on challenge stress, hindrance stress, and nurses' psychological well-being, while hindrance stress had a negative effect on nurses' psychological well-being. Nurses' job rotation stress had direct effects on challenge stress, hindrance stress, and psychological well-being. Hindrance stress had a direct effect on psychological well-being. In addition, nurses' job rotation stress had an indirect effect on psychological well-being through hindrance stress. Nurses who experienced job rotation showed challenge and hindrance stress. Since hindrance stress interferes with the psychological well-being of nurses, it is necessary to manage stress and make efforts in the nursing organization. Therefore, nursing organizations should establish a positive organizational environment and develop systematic strategies so that job rotation can be a challenging stress factor for nurses.

The aims of this study was to verify the validity using group comparison method and test/retest reliability of the Communication Behavior Scale for Nurses Caring for People with Dementia(CBS-D). The subjects were nurses who have worked at elderly care facilities in D, U and Y cities(n = 67), and nurses who have worked at general hospitals in D and U cities. The scores of the communication behaviors of nurses working in elderly care facilities were significantly higher than those of nurses working in general hospitals(t=2.49, p=.014). The Intraclass Correlation Coefficients for the test-retest reliability test was .813. Therefore, it was confirmed that CBS-D is an appropriate evaluation tool for evaluating the level of the nurse's communication behavior through various logical analyzes, and it is expected that it can be used in various ways for nursing care for people with dementia.

The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an integrated nursing curriculum based on simulation with problem-based learning (PBL) by comparing the clinical competence and the self-confidence of newly graduated nurses. A non-equivalent control group post-test design was employed to compare the clinical competence and the self-confidence in the clinical performance examination using standardized patients between 39 newly graduated nurses with the traditional nursing curriculum and 35 with the integrated nursing curriculum. Data analysis involved Fisher's exact test, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and ANCOVA with the SPSS 19.0 program. The total clinical competence mean score graded by the standardized patients was not different between the two groups. However, the total clinical competence mean score graded by faculty was significantly higher in the integrated curriculum group than the traditional curriculum group. The mean self-confidence score was significantly higher in the integrated curriculum group than the traditional curriculum group. Active teaching-learning strategies including simulation or PBL in the nursing curriculum could benefit for nursing students by inducing favorable clinical competence and self-confidence. Longitudinal follow-up studies based on observation are needed to explore the patient outcomes in addition to the learner outcomes in clinical settings.

This study was conducted to analyze new nurse satisfaction and factors of the new nurse orientation program and improve their effectiveness. The CIPP evaluation model was applied in this study to assess each module of the program systematically. The respondents of the survey were 452 of five affiliated hospitals of an educational foundation. The respondents' perceptions were 'Senior', 'Operating', 'Introduction', 'Unity', 'Usefulness', and 'Needs' (from highest to lowest). Multiple regression analysis indicated that 'Operating', 'Unity', 'Usefulness', and 'Hospital Introduction' had a significant impact on satisfaction. The results presented herein indicate that planners and operators should improve effectiveness of new nurse orientation programs by enhancing sense of unity, instilling confidence as a nurse, and increasing personal utilization of subjects.

최근 병원행정가들의 가장 관심을 끄는 분야 중 하나가 간호사의 이직이다. 본 연구는 실제 이직을 한 간호사를 대상으로 이직요인을 파악하고 이에 대한 이직대책을 제시함으로써 조기에 간호사의 이직을 예방하여 효율적으로 간호인력을 관리하고 간호의 질적 향상을 하는데 도움을 주고자 46개 종합병원에서 1998년 1월${\sim}$1999년 1월 사이에 이직을 한 간호사 369명을 대상으로 조사, 분석한 후향연구이다. 연구결과를 통해 이직결정에는 다양한 요인들이 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 특히 결혼상태가 가장 큰 요인으로 나타났으며, 기혼인 경우는 자식의 양육문제가 가장 원인이었으며, 미혼인 경우는 불규칙한 근무시간이 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그에 대한 해결책으로 자식 양육문제의 경우, 근무병원 내에 탁아시설을 운영하거나 육아양육휴가제도 및 시간제 근무 등의 도입을 심각하게 고려해 볼 필요가 있다. 불규칙한 근무시간은 근무외 수당을 지불하거나 간호사가 스스로 자신의 근무시간을 선택할 수 있는 융통성 있는 스케줄링, 또는 승진평가 제도를 적절하게 할 수 있는 제도의 도입을 제안한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine how nurse practice environment and organizational justice affected job embeddedness in the Small and Medium Sized Hospital Nurses. Methods: The data were collected from 233 nurses by means of self-reported questionnaires on August 23th to September 8th, 2017. Results: The model explained 49.7% of the total variance in job embeddedness scores. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that hospital nurses that had higher perceived nurse practice environment, higher organizational justice, and were older were more likely to have higher job embeddedness scores. Conclusion: To enhance nurses' job embeddedness, hospital and nurse leaders should improve nurse practice environment, particularly in relation to staffing and resource adequacy and collegial nurse-physician relations. Additionally, the nurse leaders can facilitate nurses' job embeddedness by creating and maintaining an organizational culture of fairness and justice.

To recruit nurses with skills, the hospital must evaluate the skills of the applicants. But objective evaluation of the skills is a difficult. Many hospitals are using written examination or oral test only and are not testing the nursing skills directly when they recruit new nurses. OSCE(Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a method developed for the evaluation of clinical skills objectively. In this study, 16/20 nurse managers of one university-affiliate hospital were assembled for the project of developing 7 OSCE modules by themselves, and then they ran OSCE using those modules for 40 nursing students. They scored nursing skills of the students using checklists they designed. The whole process was proceeded phase by phase using step-wise approach model. The project was successful; inter-personal consistency of the scores were high; nurse managers became confident in objective skill evaluation; subjective responses for this project were favorable. The hospital adopted OSCE in recruitment process thereafter. This experience might be applied to other hospitals who want to recruit nurses with skills.

The purpose of this study was to compare the perception of medical institution certification evaluation, job stress, turnover intention, safety management cognition of a general hospital nurse before and after the medical institution certification system. Data were collected from June 1, 2016 to July 17, 2016. The collected data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test using SPSS 21.0. The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference between before and after certification of medical institution recognition, turnover intention, and safety management awareness, but mean score was high and job stress showed significant difference before and after certification.(t = 2.825, p = <. 005). That is, the job stress was higher than that after the authentication. Therefore, in order to reduce job stress of nurses preparing for certification, active and diverse human and physical support of medical institutions that can reduce work burden is needed.
