Numerous studies have been studied to provide an efficient solution for the Nurse Rostering Problem (NRP), most of which have suffered from its complexity arising from incorporating nurse's work shift and ability. The test-bed data for the NRP is released for the public Competition in 2010. This study suggests a new mixed integer programming for Nurse Rostering Problem and develops a hybrid approach, where a hierarchical decomposition and the corresponding optimization are combined. The computation experiment is performed to show that the suggested algorithms may give a better solution in various instances, compared to the one appeared in the literature.

This study is a descriptive survey study to identify the relationship between nurse-nurse cooperation, nurse-doctor cooperation, and professional self-concept perceived by nursing students among nursing students with clinical practice experience. The subjects of the study were 140 nursing students, and the collected data were descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and regression analysis of the factors influencing professional self-concept. As a result of the study, professional self-concept was positively correlated with nurse-nurse cooperation and nurse-doctor cooperation, and the influencing factor of professional self-concept was nurse-nurse cooperation, with explanatory power of 48.0%. Therefore, in order to improve the nursing professional self-concept of nursing students, it is necessary to develop an educational program to enhance cooperation between professionals to promote the cooperative relationship between nurses and nurses, and to develop a curriculum for the development and application of simulation scenarios for cooperation between professionals based on clinical field cases.

The purpose of this review was to systematically assess empirical studies on the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes through systematic literature review. Peer-reviewed articles published between January 2009 and December 2018 were identified in CINAHL, Pubmed, EBSCOhost, RISS, and Dbpia databases. A total of 13 articles relating to nurse staffing and patient outcomes in Korea were systematically reviewed and analyzed. The review showed that better nurse staffing aligned with better patient outcomes. However, some studies did not directly correlate patient outcomes with nurse staffing. This is because each study examined varied aspects of nurse staffing and different patient outcomes. These inconsistent study results indicate that continuous study is required. There should be continued efforts to establish guidelines and strategies for deploying nurse staff by maintaining optimal patient-to-nurse ratio.

This study seeks to measure the level and root causes of occupational and interpersonal conflicts between nurses and nurse aids against hospital doctors, in order to help increase motivation of both groups in their workplace and enable more effective nursing care to patients. 271 nurses and nurse-aids working in small- and medium-sized hospitals were therefore given a series of surveys on topics such as conflicts with doctors, communications, cause of conflicts and solutions. Analysis of the survey result shows that both nurses and nurse-aids share relatively similar level and causes of conflicts in their place of work; however, nurse-aids felt more stress when their responsibilities seem to be duplicated or blurred from those of doctors and nurses. When conflicts actually occur with doctors, both groups would first try to avoid it one way or another. Then, nurses would make others cave in or file complaints through union, while nurse aides would seek help from supervisors or try to meet them half way.

Objectives: This study was performed to analyze the effect of nurse-led education on results for patients with gout. Methods: The face-to-face education was conducted by a specialist nurse. Patient satisfaction and drug adherence, serum uric acid was assessed. Results: Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the nurse-led education group than in the usual care group. The serum uric acid level on the second visit was lower after patient education. In addition, the mean drug adherence in the nurse-led group was significantly higher than in the usual care group on the second and third visits. Conclusion: The nurse-led education about gout improves patient satisfaction, drug adherence, and serum uric acid level in patients with gout.

Today, manpower is used as a major factor in the production of service industry that is on the increasing trend. So the research on manpower structure have been regarded as a important field. The research on personnel scheduling, however, have got de-emphasizeed as compared wi th the field of manufacturing scheduling. As the increasing trend of service industry, an appropriate personnel scheduling for each type of service industry is needed urgently. This paper deals with nurse scheduling problem in the field of personnel scheduling. We aim at developing prototype of the expert nurse scheduling program which is easy to use when scheduling without help of expert, and satisfies the various request of hospital scheduling policy and nurse scheduling.
