The subjects of this study were 174 nurses with more than one year of experience working in small hospitals, general hospitals and university hospitals with more than 200 beds in G-city. Data collection was conducted from August 2016 using structured questionnaires to measure nursing work environment, job stress and turnover intentions. Results: There were no significant differences in nursing work environment between pediatric ward nurses and general ward nurses, and there were significant differences in job stress. Especially, the more nursing work environment of pediatric ward nurses was, the higher the job stress, the higher the turnover intention. In other words, pediatric ward nurses are more likely to have higher job stress than regular ward nurses because they are stressed not only from the health problems of the child but also from the family members. Therefore, communication and self-achievement that can reduce the job stress of the pediatric ward nurse and a variety of measures are needed.

Clinical and animal studies have shown that free radical overload is an important cause for a variety of diseases. Although ginseng has been recognized as antioxidant, how it modulates anti-oxidative process at the molecular level remains unknown. Free radical production is induced by tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$) under the stress condition, and (TNF-$\alpha$) release is activated by TNF-$\alpha$-converting enzyme (TACE). Since TACE inhibitor is also well known for anti-inflammatory agent, ginseng seems to show anti-oxidative activity by repressing TACE pathway. Further studies on signal transduction would be warranted to elucidate molecular action mechanisms of ginseng on anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation.
