Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand nurses' perception of visiting nursing services of long-term care insurance. Method: The descriptive survey study involved 188 nurses selected by the convenient sampling of visiting nurses who participated in professional education sessions. Results: Of the 188 participants, 149 (79.3%) were aware of long-term care insurance. Awareness of aspects of long-term care services was 78.7% for facility service, 77.7% for ordinary visiting care service, 85.1% for visiting nursing service and 77.7% for visiting bathing service. Concerning visiting nursing service provision, the majority of the study subjects considered nurse-aid not to be the appropriate route for delivery of services including nasogastric tube exchange, tracheostomy tube management and stitch removal. Conclusion: Continuous evaluation and research on the standards and requirements of the nursing workforce is needed to secure and maintain the high quality of visiting nursing services. Exhaustive studies concerning task division and workforce separation according to nursing services type and level of difficulty should be done to develop the appropriate job description for visiting nursing service staff.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the disaster nursing preparedness of nursing students. A descriptive survey study was carried out from June 12 to October 16, 2017, the subjects were junior and senior grade nursing students. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program. The influencing factors on the disaster nursing preparedness were lower confidence of disaster nursing (β =-.21, p<.001) and disaster nursing knowledge (β=.15, p=002). 10.2% of the variance in disaster nursing preparedness was explained by these two factors on multiple regression analysis. In order to improve the preparedness of nursing students for disaster nursing, nursing students' confidence in disaster nursing should be improved, and a systematic and practical disaster nursing curriculum should be developed.

Purpose: This study was to develop and test the resilience scale for Korean nursing college students. Methods: The initial 82 items (7 factors) were developed through literature review and student interviews. Items were reduced to 55 items through content validity test by 5 experts and face validity tests by 20 nursing students. The preliminary Resilience Scale for Korean Nursing Students (RS_KNS) was administered to 302 nursing students of 4 universities in Chungnam. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. Results: Twenty-four items were selected for the final scale. Seven factors evolved from the factor analysis, which explained 61.9% of the total variance. The internal consistency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ was .84 and reliability of the subscales ranged from .60 to .77. Conclusion: The resilience scale for Korean nursing college students demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the resilience of nursing college students and is expected to get utilized in teaching and research.

Ninety-one articles were analyzed and classified into five categories according to research methods. Data were extracted through a systematic review process and underwent descriptive statistics and content analyses. Results: The most analyzed variable in the survey studies was job satisfaction. Many variables were classified into input and output factors using Donabedian's model. The content analysis showed that most suggestions were about improving the political regulation system.

Purpose: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of supportive nursing management on postpartum depression in the mothers with premature infants. Methods: The subjects were 21 mothers who delivered premature babies in a university hospital. The experimental group of 10 mothers was provided with supportive nursing management program by nurses in neonatal ICU and the control group of 11 mothers was provided with usual management only. The designed programs were given 4 times to the experimental group while their babies were hospitalized, and telephone consultation was provided 3 times after discharge. The stress, anxiety, identity, support from their husbands & family members, and postpartum depression were measured 3 times using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (the 4th day of premature's hospitalization, the day of discharge and the day of 4 weeks after discharge). Results: There was no significant difference in general characteristics and the influential factors of postpartum depression between the two groups, so they were homogeneous. There was no significant difference in depression (F=0.01, p=.917). However there was significant difference over time (F=6.74, p=.003) and the interaction between measurement time and treatment (F=3.59, p=.037). Conclusion: The supportive nursing management on postpartum depression of mothers with premature infants is considered effective and useful in reducing postpartum depression. Further research is warranted to investigate paternal depression and the program's long-term effects.
