This study examined the factors affecting the emergency nursing performance of nursing students during a simulation. The variables related to the simulation were the objective and subjective emergency nursing performance, critical thinking, program outcome, simulation satisfaction, simulation confidence, and simulation immersion. The participants were 92 senior students who provided informed consent with an explanation about attending the study. The general characteristics and simulation-related data were obtained from the students before and after the simulation. An assessor evaluated the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation and program outcome through a report reviewed after the simulation. Data analysis was performed using the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, X²-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and progressive regression through the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Emergency nursing performance by the assessor was negatively associated with the satisfaction of clinical practice (r=-.31, p=.005) and positively related to the subjective clinical performance (r=.23, p=.036). The affecting rate was just 12%, which was low for explaining the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation. Further studies will be needed to explore other factors affecting the emergency nursing performance.

This study was aimed to identify a study on the effect of chest compressions combined with abdominal drawing-in technique on prevention of back pain and chest compression quality. We tested motion analysis, electromyography, and chest compression quality of 15 paramedics. Data were normalized to SPSS 21.0 (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk test). The paired t-test was used for the pre- and post-test chest compressions, the one-way ANOVA was used for the analysis of the measurement point-in-time differences, and LSD was used for the post-test. The results of the study showed significant difference in muscle activity and chest compression success rate when the chest pressure was applied with abdomen drawing-in. Therefore, it is necessary to study cardiopulmonary resuscitation education which can increase the chest compression success rate while preventing the back pain of the paramedics in the future.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive research study to identify the relationship between the experience of verbal abuse, compassion fatigue, and work engagement among nurses in the emergency unit. Methods: Study subjects were 107 nurses working in a university hospital in Gyeonggi-Do. The instruments used were a verbal abuse checklist, a subscale of the Professional Quality of Life Scale used to measure compassion fatigue, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 22.0 program for independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: Emergency nurses experienced more verbal abuse and compassion fatigue than nurses in other departments, and the level of work engagement was low. There was a positive correlation between experience of verbal abuse and compassion fatigue and a negative correlation between both of these variables and work engagement. Particularly, verbal abuse appeared in the order of nurses, patients & caregivers, and doctors. This means there were serious problems with communication with nurses. Conclusion: In order to reduce verbal abuse, it is necessary to establish a communication culture of mutual respect between nurses, medical staff, patients & caregivers.
