Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the impact of workplace bullying and LMX (Leader-Member Exchange) on turnover intention among nurses. Methods: The participants were 364 nurses from the Seoul metropolitan area who were attending a continuing education program. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection and data were analyzed using the SPSS/Window program. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to verify the effect of variables on turnover intention. Results: Higher workplace bullying was associated with higher turnover intention. Workplace bullying was negatively correlated with leader-member exchange. The most influential factors for turnover intention were LMX (${\beta}=-7.22$, p<.001), work load (${\beta}=2.96$, p=.003), and workplace bullying (${\beta}=2.64$, p=.009). These factors accounted for 28% of the variance in turnover intention. Conclusion: The study results indicate that there is need to develop strategies to prevent workplace bullying and cultivate a good relationship between nursing managers and nurses to lower nurses' turnover intention.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to figure out influences of supervisor's and colleague's supports, nursing work environment, ego-resilience, organizational commitment and burnout on turnover intention of nurses working in general hospitals. Methods: The data were collected from 379 nurses working in general hospitals with more than 500 beds in S city from July 1 to August 31, 2012. The collected data were analyzed with independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and Hierarchial regression analysis by using SPSS 19.0. Results: In case the subject was young, with work experience of 1~5 years, single, female and position of general nurse, turnover intention was statistically significantly higher. Turnover intention, supervisor's support, nursing work environment, organizational commitment and ego-resilience showed significantly negative correlations, but burnout showed significantly positive correlations. In case of controlling general characteristics, higher correlational variables with turnover intention accounted for 30.2%. Conclusion: In order to reduce turnover intention of general nurses who showed higher intention with 1~5 years' work experience, situational variables such as organizational commitment and nursing work environment and interpersonal relation variables such as supervisor's support as well as personal variables such as ego-resilience should all be considered.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to verify the relationships among nursing work environment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and retention intention, as well as to clarify the factors that affect nurses' retention intention. Methods: The study included 163 nurses working in three general hospitals located in B city. Data were collected by a survey using self-administrated questionnaire and analyzed using the SPSS software. Results: The participants expressed a moderate level of retention intention. There were significant differences in retention intention by income (t=-2.13, p=.034) and intention to work (F=9.86, p=.001). The factors influencing retention intention were organizational commitment (${\beta}=.28$, p=.001), job satisfaction (${\beta}=.25$, p=.001), nursing work environment (${\beta}=.23$, p=.004), plan to work period (${\beta}=.13$, p=.027). These factors explained 55.3% of retention intention (F=41.079, p<.001). Conclusions: The findings showed that nursing administrators should develope programs that promote internal satisfaction for new nurses and strive to improve the human and physical aspects of the nursing work environment for career nurses.

Purpose: To examine factors affecting long-term care hospital patients' intention of transfer to a nursing home. Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted in Aug. 2007 that included 655 patients from 49 long-term care hospitals. The survey aimed to assess the patients' health status, family status, cost and intention of transfer to a nursing home. Institutional characteristics were analyzed from the nationwide database of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. The affecting factors were examined by employing chi-square test and logistic regression using SAS 8.2. Result: Of the subjects, 32.4% had intention of transfer to a nursing home. The intention of transfer to a nursing home was affected by moderate or severe pain, living together with the primary carer, high cost uncovered by insurance, and recognition of nursing home. Conclusion; For appropriate service utilization. a higher level of care is needed to satisfy patients at nursing homes and a balanced fee schedule is needed between long term care hospitals and nursing homes.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate child abuse awareness and reporting intention among nursing and education students and correlations among the variables involved. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by administering an online questionnaire to 70 nursing college students and 70 education college students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson's correlation in SPSS 21.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY). Results: The mean score of child abuse awareness was $3.61{\pm}0.32$ for nursing students and $3.60{\pm}0.36$ for education students. The mean score of reporting intention was $5.65{\pm}0.90$ for nursing students and $5.38{\pm}1.03$ for education students. Females presented higher scores than males in the awareness of sexual abuse. The awareness of emotional abuse was higher in students who knew of reporting obligations or who had experienced abuse. Child abuse awareness and reporting intention were significantly positively correlated. Also, the number of times having received child abuse education was correlated with reporting intention in both mild and severe cases of abuse. Conclusion: Reporting intention is not only related to having received education, but also to the frequency of that education. Child abuse education is important to increase reporting intention and should be delivered repeatedly.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore factors influencing for intention to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A total of 146 students at G University participated in this descriptive study. With a self-administered questionnaire, the data were collected from November 26 to November 30, 2018. Results: In this study, intention to perform CPR had significant positive correlations with attitude of CPR (r=60, p<.001), self-efficiency of CPR (r=.53, p<.001), and confidence in automated external defibrillator (AED) utilization (r=.47, p<.001). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing for intention to perform CPR were attitude of CPR (${\beta}=.60$, p<.001) and confidence in AED utilization (${\beta}=.26$, p<.001). Overall, approximately 41% of the variability in intention to perform CPR was explained by these variables ($R^2=.41$, F=50.04, p<.001). Conclusion: In order to promote the intention to carry out CPR among nursing college students, it will be necessary to develop strategies to strengthen a positive attitude toward CPR in fundamental nursing and clinical nursing practices in addition to improve confidence in AED utilization.
