The purposes of this study were to compare work-family conflict, job satisfaction, job stress, psychological health, and job involvement of Korean female office workers by marital status and to identify the factors that influence job involvement. Data were collected through self reported structured questionnaire form 171 Korean female office workers by convenient sampling methods form May 20 to August 15, 2011. After adjusting for age, education level, family monthly income, working periods and turnover number, work-family conflict(${\beta}$=0.54, p<.001) and job satisfaction(${\beta}$=0.35, p=.002) were identified as significant predictors of job involvement in the married working women. In the unmarried working women, work-family conflict(${\beta}$=0.22, p=.042) and job stress(${\beta}$=-0.57, p=.001) were identified as significant predictors of job involvement. Therefore, as a strategy for improving job involvement of female office workers, psycho-social nursing intervention will be provided considering the differences by marital status.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the effects of various leisure activities on cognitive impairment in young-old (aged 65-74 years) and old-old (aged ${\geq}75$ years) adults. Methods: In total, 10,279 elderly Korean individuals from the 2014 Korean National Survey on Older Adults' cohort were enrolled in our study. Cognitive impairment was assessed using the standardized score of the Mini-Mental State Examination for Dementia Screening, whereas leisure activities were recorded via self-reporting of the extent and type of leisure activity the subjects involved in over the past year. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effect of leisure activities on cognitive impairment, while controlling for potential covariates. Results: The subjects were more likely to participate in cognitive activities than in non-exercise physical activities. After controlling for selected covariates, involvement in cognitive activities was found to be a significant predictor of cognitive impairment in both the groups, whereas involvement in non-exercise physical activities was not a predictor of cognitive impairment in individuals aged ${\geq}75$ years. Moreover, depressive symptoms, rural residence, and hearing difficulties were common predictors of cognitive impairment among elderly-Korean-individuals. Conclusion: Leisure activity involvement may help delay cognitive impairment, which is often concomitant with aging. Hence, an early intervention service may significantly benefit both young-old and old-old individuals.

The role stress was measured by the scale developed by Rizzo( : role conflict, role ambiguity) and Beehr( : role overload). T-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test and pearson's correlation coefficient were used for data ana1isis. Major findings were as follows : 1. Mean scores for organizational commitment were 3.008, job involvement 3.074, and role stress 2. 815( :role conflict 2.802, role ambiguity 2.253, role overload 3.294) on a 5 point scale. 2. All of personal characteristics were significantly related to the level of organizational commitment : age（r＝.481, p＝.000）, clinical experience（r＝ .479, p＝.000）, educational level（t＝4.11, p＝ .000）, position（F＝30.867, p＝.000）, marital status（t＝-5.63, p＝.000） and hospital agency （F＝21.374, p＝.000）. 3. All of personal characteristics were significantly related to the level of job involvement : age（r＝ .381, p＝.000）, clinical experience（r＝.393, p＝ .000）, educational level（t＝3.72, p＝.000）, position（F=18.004, p＝.000）, marital status（t＝-4. 91, p＝.000） and hospital agency（F=39.441, p＝ .000）. 4. There was a negative relationship between role stress and organizational commitment（r＝-.519, p＝.000）. 5. There was a negative relationship between role stress and job involvement（r＝-.256, p＝.000）. 6. There was a positive relationship between organizational commitment and job involvement （r＝.591, p＝.000）.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment (PE) in the relationship between nursing work environment (NWE) and job involvement (JI) of nurses in operating rooms of small- and medium- hospitals. Subjects were 150 nurses in operating rooms of 24 small- and medium- hospitals nationwide, and data were collected from July to September 2018 using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression. As a result of the study, JI was positively correlated with NWE or PE, PE was positively correlated with NWE. PE was found to partially mediate the effect of NWE on JI. In order to help nurses in small- and medium-sized hospital operating rooms to positively recognize the NWE and immerse themselves in the job, it is necessary to develop convergence program to increase PE.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore frontline nurses' experience of patient-centered care and understand the factors affecting its implementation in hospitals. Methods: Four focus group interviews were conducted with 30 nurses in two university hospitals. The following theoretical framework of patient-centered care was used: 1) Respect for patients' values, preferences, and expressed needs, 2) Care coordination and integration, 3) Information, communication, and education, 4) Physical comfort, 5) Emotional support and alleviation of fear and anxiety, 6) Involvement of family and friends, 7) Care transition and continuity, and 8) System issues. We performed a directed content analysis. Results: The most frequent patient-centered nursing practices of the hospital nurses were "promoting physical comfort" in inpatient settings and "providing information and communicating" in outpatient settings. The factors influencing patient-centered nursing included the health professionals' mindfulness, work overload and staff shortage, and unreasonable social demands and regulations. Conclusion: A more comprehensive patient-centered nursing practice should be implemented by improving "care transition and continuity," "family/caregiver involvement," and "system building." Health professionals' mindfulness is significant, and organizational supports addressing work overload and staff shortage are needed alongside change in social awareness.
