Purpose: This study aims to identify changing image of nurse before and after the first clinical experience, and before graduate. Method: The subjects were 69 nursing students. All of them had their first clinical experience for 1 week during sophomore year. The Nurse's Image was measured before and after the 1st clinical experience, and before graduation. Collected data were analyzed by using repeated measure ANOVA and pair wise comparison method. Results: 1. The mean score for the Nurse's Image overall held by after 1st clinical experience($3.78{\pm}.38$) was more positive than those held by before graduation($3.50{\pm}.49$) and before 1st clinical experience($3.35{\pm}.36$). 2. For the four subscales (F=25.673 p= .000), the mean score of traditional(F=10.394 P= .000), Social(F=11.673 P= .000), Professional(F=17.341 P= .000) and personal Image(F=19.463 P= .000) were more positive than before graduation and before 1st clinical experience. Conclusion: Summarizing, after the nursing students had their 1st clinical training, the nurse's image perceived by them was positively improved compared to before the training. However, by the time of graduation the improved nurse's image was declined back. Therefore it is necessary to develop proper out-to field training program that will help to maintain and furthermore improve nurse's image.

Purpose: To present necessary data for improvement in communications between health professionals in as characterized by nurses' communications. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey research design with a survey of 1,510 registered nurses working in general hospitals (of at least 1,900 beds) in Seoul. A questionnaire on communication in the ICU, nurse-physician and nurse-nurse, was used. Data were collected from January 9 to 20, 2012, and the response rate was 85.0%. Results: Cronbach ${\alpha}$ values ranged from .75 to .89, except for .59 for accuracy (nurse-physician), with .89 overall. The highest mean score was for perception for timeliness [$3.83{\pm}.57$], followed by shift communication (nurse-nurse) [$3.64{\pm}.66$], openness (nurse-nurse) [$3.64{\pm}.65$], accuracy (nurse-nurse) [$3.14{\pm}.61$], openness (nurse-physician) [$2.90{\pm}.75$], understanding (nurse-physician) [$2.82{\pm}.65$], and accuracy (nurse-physician) [$2.70{\pm}.59$]. Subscales of openness, understanding, and shift communication were strongly associated with communication satisfaction. The general characteristics of nurses with different perceptions of communications included age, clinical experience, work pattern, and department. Conclusion: Proactive activities to improve accuracy, openness and mutual understanding between physicians and nurses are required for patient safety. Further studies are also needed to reassess communications and evaluate the relationship between patient outcomes and nurses' job satisfaction after application of strategies to improve communications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify changes in image of nurses of nursing students before and after their first clinical practice. Methods: The survey was performed to 60 nursing students in one university in Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do. All participants had their first clinical practice for 8 weeks at four general hospitals in Seoul. The data were collected by questionnaires and were analyzed with frequency, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA using SPSS 19.0. Results: After the first clinical practice, the mean score ($4.05{\pm}0.85$) of the image of nurse was slightly higher than that of the image ($4.03{\pm}0.93$) before the clinical practice. However, there was no statistical significance in the scores between before and after the clinical practice (t=-0.55, p=.589). In four subcategories, before the first clinical practice, professional image was the highest followed by traditional, personal, and social image in order but after the clinical practice, professional image was the highest followed by traditional, social, and personal image in the mean scores of the image of nurse.

Nurses working in the emergency rooms of three university hospitals were analyzed for six days to identify categories of nursing activities. 2. Two hundreds and eleven nurses working in the emergency rooms of 12 university hospitals were surveyed to identify needs for educational content that should be included in a curriculum for the clinical nurse specialist. 3. Examination of the environment in which emergency management was provided. 4. Identification of characteristics of patients in the emergency room. 5. The role of emergency clinical nurse specialist was identified through literature, recent data, and research materials. The following curriculum was formulated using the above mentioned process. 1. The philosophy of education for emergency clinical nurse specialist was established through a realistic philosophical framework. In this frame, client, environment, health, nursing, and learning have been defined. 2. The purpose of education is framed on individual development, social structure, nursing process and responsibility along with the role and function of the emergency clinical nurse specialist. 3.

본 연구는 임상실습 경험이 있는 간호대학생을 대상으로 간호대학생이 지각한 간호사-간호사 협력 및 간호사-의사 협력, 전문직 자아개념 간의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 간호대학생 140명이며 수집된 자료는 기술통계 및 Pearson's 상관계수, 전문직 자아개념 영향요인은 회귀분석 하였다. 연구결과 전문직 자아개념은 간호사-간호사 협력 및 간호사-의사협력과 양의 상관관계가 있으며, 전문직 자아개념 영향 요인은 간호사-간호사 협력으로 설명력은 48.0%로 나타났다. 따라서 간호대학생의 간호전문직 자아개념 향상을 위해서는 간호사-간호사 협력관계 증진을 위한 전문직 간 협력 향상 교육 프로그램 개발과 임상현장 사례를 바탕으로 전문직 간 협력 시뮬레이션 시나리오 개발 및 적용의 교육과정 개발도 필요 할 것으로 생각된다.
