Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore professional self-concept, work environment, resilience and intention to stay for nurses in university hospitals, and to identify the relationship between these variables and factors that influence intention to stay. We aimed to provide basic data to develop measures for increasing intention to stay. Methods: This study used a descriptive design, the subjects were nurses who worked for more than 1 year at a university hospital with 744 beds, located in city C. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 120 nurses. The data collection period were from September 15 to 30, 2020. The data were analysed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: There was a positive correlation between the subject's intention to stay and the professional self-concept (r=.57, p<.001), the nursing working environment (r=.29, p=.002), and resilience (r=.50, p<.001). Significant factors influencing the subject's intention to stay was the sense of satisfaction (β=.40, p<.001), a sub-factor of professional self-concept, indicating the higher the satisfaction level, the higher the intention to stay. The regression model explained 45.0% of the variance of the outcome variable (F=9.64, p<.001). Conclusion: Sense of satisfaction was identified as a factor impacting the intention to stay. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and to apply intervention programs to improve the satisfaction of the professional self-concept in order to increase the nurses' intention to stay.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of infection control knowledge and nursing work environment on infection control performance among general hospital nurses. Methods: A total of 138 nurses from four general hospitals located in G and P cities participated in this descriptive study. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: The average mean score was 21.41±1.92 points out of 25 for infection control knowledge, 2.53±0.33 points out of 4 for nursing work environment, and 4.62±0.40 points out of 5 for infection control performance. In the final analysis, the variables that had the greatest influence on infection control performance were the nursing work environment (β=.32, p<.001), working department (β=.19, p=.014), and knowledge (β=.19, p=.016). Conclusion: This study showed that nurses with a better nursing work environment, employment in general department, and more infection control knowledge delivered superior infection control performance. Therefore, to improve infection control performance, it is necessary to enhance the nursing environment and develop practical education programs for augmenting infection control knowledge.

본 연구는 소아병동간호사와 일반병동간호사의 간호근무환경, 직무스트레스 및 이직의도 차이를 비교하는 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 G광역시 소재 200병상 이상의 중소병원과 종합병원 및 대학병원에서 근무하는 경력 1년 이상의 간호사 174명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 2016년 8월부터 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 간호근무환경, 직무스트레스, 이직의도를 측정하였다. 연구결과 소아병동간호사와 일반병동간호사간에 간호근무환경은 유의한 차이가 없었고, 직무스트레스는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 특히, 소아병동간호사가 간호근무환경이 나쁠수록, 직무스트레스가 높을수록 이직의도가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 소아병동간호사는 일반병동간호사보다 직무스트레스가 더 높은 이유는 아동의 건강문제 뿐 아니라 그 가족으로 부터 받는 스트레스가 가중되기 때문이므로 소아병동간호사의 직무스트레스를 줄일 수 있는 의사소통, 자아성취감을 높일 수 있는 전문가 교육 등 다양한 방안이 요구된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the types of health documents for nurses, the content of informations in the documents, and writing behaviors of occupational health nurses. Health documents were collected from 7 nurses who were working in 7 group occupational health agencies (GOHA) located at Seoul and Inchon area in Korea. The collected health documents written in January to June 1999 were analyzed, and revealed the following results. 1) The occupational health nurses were using 9 to 18 different types of health documents. The contents of the documents were considered quite similar to each other with slightly different headings and items to record. Among different types of health documents. Health Management Card for Workplace', Nursing performance sheet and Workplace environmental checklist were in common among nurses and were used for content analysis. 2) The 'Health Management Card for Workplace' was the only formal sheet of small-scale-enterprises (SSE) for health management, in which health and safety related information was recorded. The information on nursing services were recorded on the Nursing performance sheet, which has slightly different names on each type with similar contents. The Workplace environment checklist was for the information on general work environment management and mainly status of workplace hygiene. This checklist is to be used by or with nurses among the 3 types health professional team such as doctor, hygienist, and nurse, but it seemed not being used frequently by nurses. 3) Analysis on recording tendencies of nurses revealed that the writing styles of occupational health nurses were associated with 'memo' using a few number of words and short sentences. The amount of information by this kind of recording style was considered not enough for health management situation. The possible reasons for nurses to use this writing style might be insufficient time for recording and improper designed format of health documents. Because nurses working in SSE spend more time on the roads to visit workplaces, nurses may not found enough time for recording properly within their working time. In addition, the health records were designed to focus on the frequency of nurse's performance in certain types of work rather than on the method they used to deal with health problems. In conclusion, this study suggests that some steps are necessary to develop health documents and recording system which is appropriate to occupational health nurses. The educational need for nurses on appropriate recording behavior is also recommended.
