Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of happiness among pregnant women. Methods: Walker and Avant's method for concept analysis was used. Results: The defining attributes of happiness among pregnant women were 1) period of pregnancy, 2) emotional dimension (positive affect), and 3) cognitive dimension(existence need-satisfaction, relatedness need-satisfaction, growth need-satisfaction). The antecedents of happiness among pregnant women were 1) intrapersonal characteristics, 2) reproductive history and related characteristics, 3) interpersonal relationship, and 4) external factors. The consequences included 1) pregnant women's well-being, 2) fetal well-being, 3) maternal well-being, and 4) child's happiness. Conclusion: Although further studies are required to refine the diverse attributes of the concept, the results of this study contribute to explaining happiness among pregnant women. In addition, the development of adequate interventions to increase prenatal happiness is needed.

Fatigue is a universally common word. The subject has been studied in different disciplines, but the basic concept of the term still remains unidentified. It becomes especially important for the medical communications between nurses and clients. Based on the framework outlined by Walker and Avant (1995), this analysis attempts to clarify and examine the symptoms of fatigue. The attributes of fatigue identified in this paper were exhaustion, weighted psychological burden, shortage in capacity or lack of energy, shortage incapacity(motivation and excitement), and imbalance of energy. Therefore, the definition of fatigue refers to a subjective feeling from various internal or external stresses. The consequences of fatigue bring reduced capacity and imbalance of energy. The symptoms show a homeostatic disability or shortage of capacity (physical, psychological, environmental and physiological factors). A precise understanding of "fatigue" will be utilized in defining the causes and measuring outcomes. Also, it will enhance the effective medical communications with client s and nurses. In conclusion, more work is needed to develop objective measurement and effect ivenursing intervention.

Purpose: Loneliness is an extremely subjective experience that is influenced by life experiences and circumstances. This study attempted to provide basic data for the development of nursing intervention strategies to understand the concept of loneliness and to reduce loneliness on various topics. Methods: The research analysis method is based on the framework of concept analysis proposed by Walker and Avant (1988). Results: The results of this study are as follows: 1) Self-alienation 2) Isolation of human beings 3) Psychological damage reaction 4) Pain 5) Loneliness is the loss of a comfortable "frame". The prerequisites can be divided into personal characteristics and situational characteristics. Empirical criteria include intimate others, lack of social relationships or problems, family and friendship, belonging, recognition or expression of loneliness, emotional state changes and changes in health behavior, and physical symptoms. Conclusions: Loneliness is an important indicator of well-being and a cause of physical and mental illnesses, so nurses facing various subjects should be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of loneliness. By promoting and sustaining their interest, they should be able to enjoy lonely people.

Purpose: This study was done to analyze and clarify the concept of empathy in nursing. Methods: Using the concept analysis framework of Walker & Avant 68 articles about empathy were selected for this study. Results: Defining attributes of empathy included recognizing others' perspective and thought, understanding others' emotion, and communicating with them. The antecedents of empathy included contact with patients, respect and trust for patients, a certain level of cognitive ability, and communication skills. Consequences of empathy were increasing patient self-understanding, self-awareness as a therapeutic subject and improving quality of nursing. The concept was clarified through presentation of model, borderline, related, and contrary cases. Conclusion: The results of this study are meaningful in that the concept and attributes of empathy are explored in the area of nursing. Also, based on results of this study, development of standardized tools to measure patient-perceived empathy and measure the three attributes of empathy is recommended as well as the development of educational programs to enhance empathy.

Purpose: This study aimed to provide a theoretical basis for career anchors of nurses by defining and organizing its concept. Methods: Using the Walker and Avant concept analysis, a total of 29 articles were analyzed through a literature search in this study. Results: The career anchors of nurses are individual career choice motives, a self-concept where in competency and values are harmonized, which act as a desire for growth and development in nursing, and are actions that maintain careers. Additionally, they indicate the direction for achieving individual career goals and act as a core value expected of nurses by nursing organizations, indicating continuous and integrated professional growth and development of the nursing profession. Conclusion: The career anchors of nurses identified in the results contribute to securing patient safety, providing quality care through policies, institutionalizing bases for career development, preventing nurse turnover, and retaining skilled nurses.

본 연구는 간호사의 태움 개념분석연구로 개념의 속성을 확인하고 명확한 개념 정의를 내리고자 시도되었다. Walker and Avant의 개념분석 방법을 사용하였다. 간호사의 태움의 속성은 조직문화, 피해자인 미숙한 신규 간호사, 가해자인 선임 간호사, 가르침의 변질, 언어적, 신체적 폭력경험, 심리적, 신체적 증상으로 도출되었다. 간호사의 태움의 선행요인은 간호업무 과다, 높은 노동 강도, 직무 스트레스, 인력 부족, 열악한 근무 환경, 신규 간호사의 업무 능력이 기대에 미치지 못함, 조직의 위계질서, 힘의 불균형이었으며 결과는 신체적, 심리적 증상, 간호업무 효율 저하, 불신 증가, 이직의도 증가, 환자 간호의 질 하락으로 나타났다. 간호사의 태움의 선행요인을 해결하기 위해 활동 간호인력 확충을 위한 근로조건 개선, 사회적지지 프로그램 제공, 의사소통과 상호협력 관계를 지향하는 공동체 문화가 조성되어야 한다. 이후 간호사의 태움에 대한 더 많은 질적 연구와 태움의 속성이 잘 반영된 도구개발 연구, 태움 문화 개선을 위한 프로그램 개발 연구를 제언한다. 본 연구는 태움의 선행요인을 제시하여 해결방안을 제안함으로써 신규간호사 적응 프로그램을 위한 이론적 근거를 제공했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
