Purpose: This study was performed to investigate nurses' experience of bullying in clinical fields. Methods: Participants were 309 nurses working in general hospitals. Data were collected using self- report questionnaires which were evaluated in terms of workplace bullying, burnout, organizational commitment, turnover intention and nursing productivity. Results: Of the participants 17.2% reported being victims of workplace bullying of nurses in general hospital, based on the operational definition of bullying. Coping response to workplace bullying was mainly passive such as enduring, ignoring, and evading. Experience of workplace bullying was positively correlated with burnout and turnover intention and negatively correlated with organizational commitment and productivity. Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is a need for assessment of the reality of workplace bullying of nurses in clinical areas as well carefully reviewing the problem and impact. A supportive system, education programs and improved workplace climate are recommended to reduce workplace bullying in clinical fields.

Purpose: This cross-sectional survey study explored the moderating effect of social support between hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture and turnover intention in clinical nurses. Methods: Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from 240 nurses working at three general hospitals in February 2018. Hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture, turnover intention and social support were measured using 5, 6, and 8 items, respectively, of validated instruments. Descriptive analysis and hierachical multiple regression were conducted using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Nurses rated $3.66{\pm}0.50$ for hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture, $3.40{\pm}0.64$ for turnover intention, and $3.77{\pm}0.56$ for social support respectively. Nurses' turnover intention was positively correlated with hierarchical organizational culture, but negatively with social support. The moderating effect of social support was not significant in the relationship between hierarchical nursing organizational culture and turnover intention. Conclusion: It is required to improve the hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture. Institutional preparation and education are urgently needed to strengthen the boss and peer support for clinical nurses and finally to reduce turnover intention.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify nurses'critical thinking disposition, self-leadership and clinical competency in small to medium sized hospitals less than 300beds. Methods: Data were collected using the questionnaire from 227 nurses in Incheon city and Gyeonggi province from March to April, 2017. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and $Scheff{\acute{e}}^{\prime}s$ test to identify differences in critical thinking disposition, self-leadership and clinical competency. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to identify the correlation among the study variables, and multiple regression was used to identify factors contributing to clinical competency. Results: There were significant differences in critical thinking disposition according to age, marital status, clinical career, career in currently working department and education about leadership. Significant differences in self-leadership were identified according to marital status, work position, working department, work type, education about leadership, and turnover intention. Clinical competency was significantly different depending on age, education, monthly income, work position, career in currently working department, work type, education about critical thinking disposition and education about leadership. Clinical competency was positively correlated critical thinking disposition and self-leadership. Critical thinking deposition, monthly income and self-leadership explained 30.1% of clinical competency of nurses working in small to medium sized hospitals. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that we need to improve nurses'critical thinking disposition, self-leadership, and the clinical competency.

Data collection for this descriptive correlational study was done from May to July 2010 using self report questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient with the SAS 9.2 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in organizational commitment according to age, religion, total clinical experience, emergency department experience, current position, frequency of night shift, average sleep hours, wage level, numbers of beds in unit, and reason for working. A positive correlation was found between job stress and fatigue, and between job satisfaction and commitment to organization for the emergency department nurses and a negative correlation between job stress and Job satisfaction, and fatigue and Job satisfaction. Conclusion: Results of this research indicate that job stress in emergency department nurses was the principal variable affecting job satisfaction and commitment to organization along with fatigue. Appropriate stress management strategies based on identification of job stress for these nurses should lead to development of improved management of nursing manpower and a reduction in stress.

Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to identify the effects of hospital organizational culture and work environment on nurses' intent to stay at work. Methods: Participants of this study were 234 nurses who have worked at a local general hospital in the Chungcheong province for at least 6 months. The data were collected from July 17 to 28, 2017, using self-reported questionnaires and analyzed with multiple regression using SPSS version 22.0. Results: Clinical experience (${\beta}=.38$, p<.001), institutional support (${\beta}=.33$, p<.001), and relation-oriented culture (${\beta}=.24$, p<.001) affected intent to stay at work among nurses. These variables accounted for 34.8% of the variance in intent to stay at work among nurses. Conclusion: This study confirms the effects of the work environment and organizational culture on nurses' intent to stay at work. Efforts for improving the work environment and organizational culture need for retaining nurses in a hospital. We suggest further research to identify the other factors associated with intent to stay at work among nurses.

Purpose: This review aimed to integrate the results of studies related to presenteeism in clinical nurses and to suggest directions for future research. Methods: The search for relevant studies was conducted using six data bases according to predetermined index terms, "$nurs^*$" and "presenteeism." Thirteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed. Results: This review found that the conceptual use and scope of presenteeism were not consistent among the studies. Most studies investigated the nurses' health-related variables as the most important factors and reported their positive association with presenteeism. Presenteeism was also found to be associated with job stress, job satisfaction, social support, and organizational culture and had a negative impact on nursing outcomes such as patient safety. Conclusion: The research on presenteeism can be used as a way to explain outcomes in the field of nursing where direct measurement of productivity is difficult. Presenteeism is a multidimensional problem, and a theoretical foundation is needed to explain the presenteeism of clinical nurses.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of role clarity in the relationship between clinical decision-making abilities and job stress among advanced practice nurses at tertiary hospitals. Methods : The participants were 137 advanced practice nurses. The assessment tools were clinical decision-making in nursing scale, role ambiguity scale, and Korean occupational stress scale (KOSS-26). Data were analyzed with the SPSS/24.0 program and mediation analysis was performed according to the Baron and Kenny methods. Results : There were significant relationships between clinical decision-making abilities and job stress (r=-.33, p<.001), and role clarity and job stress (r=-.29, p=.001). Role clarity showed partial mediating effects in the relationship between clinical decision-making abilities and job stress (Z=2.02, p=.043). Conclusion : Therefore, to reduce advanced practice nurses' job stress, it is necessary to develop a program and strategies to increase their clinical decision-making abilities.
