Purpose. Nursing research is recognized as an essential basis for the continuous development of the scientific nursing knowledge and practice. An understanding of the barriers and attitudes to research among nurses is important to improve clinical nursing research activities. Method. Data were collected from nurses at a general hospital, located in D city, using a self-reported questionnaire, from March 15th to April 4th, 2003, and 133 questionnaires were used for the analyses. A 5 point-scale instrument was used to measure barriers and attitudes towards nursing research, with a Cronbach's alpha of .85 and .89, respectively. Results. Nurses had limited experience in research and were not well prepared to conduct it. Lack of experience, training and time were the major barriers for conducting research. However, the nurses had positive attitudes toward research. There was a difference in barriers (t = 2.68, P = .02) and research attitudes (t =- 2.74, P = .00) according to the nurses' position. Also, the nurses' research experience influenced research attitudes (t = -3.27, P = .00). The degree of research preparation (F = 6.98, P = .00) had an effect on the attitudes toward nursing research but not on the barriers. Conclusion. There is an urgent need to promote both the ability and environment for clinical nurses to actively participate in research. As the majority of nurses had little experience and low confidence in research and perceived many barriers, this promotion can be accomplished by enhancing their confidence in research through continuing education and by gradually eliminating the barriers to research.

This study aimed to explore the effects of perceived benefits on consumers' attitudes towards cross-border online shopping websites. We also explore whether and how consumers' COVID-19 anxiety and brand familiarity weaken or strengthen the relationship between these perceived benefits and consumer attitudes. A total 319 items of data were used for the final analysis. The perceived benefits of a website were found to have only an indirect effect on purchase intentions by mediating consumers' attitudes toward the site. Competitive pricing of fashion products directly affected purchase intentions. COVID-19 anxiety was found to have a negative moderating influence on the relationship between perceived enjoyment and consumer attitudes, whereas brand familiarity had a positive moderating effect on both the relationships between perceived usefulness and consumers' attitudes toward the site and between perceived ease of use and their site attitude. This study provides useful insights for international e-tailers in developing marketing strategies that attract international consumers. Academically, we have contributed to the existing literature on the perceived benefits of global online shopping and the moderators of consumers' attitudes towards e-commerce sites.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify attitudes toward advance directives (ADs) among female cancer patients and factors related to ADs. Methods: The study was conducted at a university hospital in Seoul from September 19, 2020, to January 20, 2021. The participants were 153 patients diagnosed with gynecological cancer or breast cancer. Data were collected using questionnaires and included general characteristics, disease- and AD-related characteristics, knowledge and attitudes about ADs, and attitudes about dignified death. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Only 2% of the participants completed ADs. The mean score for attitudes toward ADs was 3.30, indicating a positive knowledge and attitude toward dignified death. The factors related to attitudes toward ADs were attitudes toward dignified death (𝛽=0.25, P=0.001), experience discussing life-sustaining treatment (𝛽=0.17, P=0.037), preferred time to have a consultation about ADs (𝛽=0.19, P=0.046), intention to write ADs (𝛽=0.15, P=0.038), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (𝛽=-0.37, P<0.001). The explanatory power of these variables for attitudes toward ADs was 38.5%. Conclusion: Overall, patients preferred to have a consultation about ADs when they were still active, mentally healthy, and able to make decisions. Education about ADs should be provided to patients on the first day of hospitalization for chemotherapy or while awaiting treatment in an outpatient setting so patients can write ADs and discuss them with family and friends.

본 연구는 우리나라 사회혁신기업이 일반기업과 경쟁에서 차별화된 경쟁력을 갖추고 경쟁우위를 확보할 수 있도록 소비자들의 사회혁신기업에 대한 브랜드 태도에 초점을 두고 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 사회혁신기업의 제품과 일반기업의 제품에 대한 소비자의 브랜드 태도의 차이를 블라인드 테스트를 통하여 비교하였다. 본 연구의 블라인드 테스트 결과 사전 블라인드 테스트에서는 제품속성이나 브랜드 태도에 있어서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 사후 제품의 정보를 공개한 후에는 실험물로 사용된 비누 제품이 천연 수제 비누라는 정보가 포함되어 있어 사회혁신기업과 일반기업 제품 모두에서 사후 브랜드 태도가 향상됨을 보여주었다. 그리고 사회혁신기업이 추구하는 사회적 가치에 대한 설명을 해 준 후에는 일반기업에 비하여 사회혁신기업에 대한 관심 증가로 인해 사회혁신기업 제품에 대한 브랜드 태도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 제품 포장에 명확하고 과장되지 않은 정보표시는 브랜드 태도를 향상시킬 수 있는 도구가 될 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 사회혁신기업 제품에 대한 소비자들의 인식을 높이기 위하여 정부 차원에서의 사회혁신기업에 대한 교육과 홍보 정책이 제고되어져야 할 필요가 있을 것이며, 사회혁신기업이 자신들이 추구하는 사회적 가치에 대한 내용을 제품 포장에 광고카피로 표현함으로써 스스로를 홍보하는 자구책을 마련하는 것도 브랜드 태도 향상을 꾀하고 판매증가를 위한 또 하나의 돌파구가 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes and performing confidence, and factors influencing patient safety of dental hygiene students. The questionnaire contained items on the subjects' general characteristics, attitudes, and performing confidence in relation to patient safety. The self-reported questionnaire was administered to 287 dental hygiene students in Gwangju and Jeonnam, Korea from September to November 2017. We performed an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 software. As a result of differences in attitude, and performing confidence according to the general characteristics, attitude toward patient safety scored 3.48 out of 5 points, and was more positive in students from 4-year colleges, with high major satisfaction, and in students who answered that they needed patient safety education. Performing confidence for patient safety scored 3.57 out of 5 points, and was statistically significantly higher in 4-year college students, with higher major satisfaction, amongst those with experience in patient safety education, and when patient safety education was needed before clinical practice or employment. There were positive correlations between attitude and performing confidence for patient safety. As a result of analyzing the factors influencing attitude and performing confidence for patient safety, attitudes were higher with higher performing confidence and performing confidence had the highest satisfaction rate of the major and patient safety education experience. Therefore, it is necessary to provide systematic education at universities reflecting the characteristics of dental medical institutions, as well as developing various education contents and education methods.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional study was to examine Korean undergraduate nursing students' perceived knowledge and attitudes toward genetics. Nursing competencies for genetics among nursing students were also assessed. Methods: Two hundred eighty-six Korean junior and senior undergraduate nursing students who went through their clinical practicum completed a packet of self-report questionnaires exploring opinions about the integration of genetics into the nursing curriculum, as well as their perceived knowledge, attitudes, and nursing competencies toward genetics. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA. Results: Overall, Korean undergraduate nursing students reported limited genetic knowledge, but most of them were comfortable with drawing pedigree. In general, nursing students were competent in providing genetic nursing. Their genetic nursing competencies were significantly different depending on the level of general understanding of genetics. There was no significant difference between juniors and seniors regarding knowledge, attitudes, and competencies toward genetics. More than 60% of nursing students reported the need for genetic nursing, and the majority considered lectures to be the most effective method to learn genetic knowledge. Conclusion: It is imperative to integrate genetics into nursing curriculum in order to improve nursing students' genetic nursing competencies as well as genetic knowledge.
