The subjects were 355 nurses working at three university hospitals located in Daejeon City, and data were collected by a survey using self-administered questionnaires structured from April 1 to May 31, 2012. As a results, the average point of the nurses' intention to change jobs by the causes for job stress was significantly higher in the boss group with low support than in that with high support while it was higher in colleague group with low support than in that with high support. To look into the correlation between the points of intention to change their jobs and the causes for job stress, their intention to change their jobs showed a significant negative correlation to the boss's support and colleagues' support while there was no significant relationship with job demands and job autonomy.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration, 2018

The purpose of the study was to explore factors influencing turnover intention of new graduate nurses according to length of services. Methods: From May to July, 2017, a survey was conducted among 220 nurses working in four hospitals. Inclusion criteria were new graduate nurses who had careers of less than 16 months. Data were collected on organizational socialization, support in work place, job stress, and turnover intention. Results: Satisfaction with current work department, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job stress were significant factors influencing turnover intention of new nurses with less than six months experience. However, in case of nurses with seven to 15 months experience, only organizational commitment influenced turnover intention. Conclusions: These findings indicate that the factors influencing turnover intention are different according to the length of time the new graduate nurses have worked. To reduce the turnover intention of new nurses, it is necessary to differentiate human resource management approaches according to length of employment. The study results could be useful evidence for developing strategies to reduce turnover in new nurses.

Study on Stress and Burnout in Medical Education at the School of Korean Medicine

Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry, 2015

Objectives: Medical students suffer from mental health and academic problems due to academic stress. We investigated academic stress and exhaustion along with psychological issues caused by medical education during the years in the School of Korean Medicine. Methods: Two hundred fifty-one university students from the School of Korean Medicine, Pusan National University, were asked to complete the Medical Stress Scale (MSS), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) three times during each semester for two years from 2013 onwards. We analyzed the influence of school term and vacation on educational stress and negative affect with the T-test. The Pearson's correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to predict changes during the first semester or first years of study in the School of Korean Medicine. Results: Academic stress and burnout increased steadily until the first semester of third grade, which was measured with MSS and MBI-SS. The anxiety level was highest when the students started the first grade and it decreased significantly after the first semester. Negative affect repeatedly increased significantly after each school term; however, it reduced after each vacation. In the first grade, 19.5% of the last measure of MSS can be explained with the first measure of MSS. Discussion: This study extensively reviewed the trends and characteristics of four years of academic stress and its related psychological influence, and discussed its importance for developing a more efficient academic curriculum for traditional Korean Medicine.

Factors Influencing Patient-Centered Care by Nursing Staff in Nursing Homes

Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing, 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine individual and organizational factors that influence patientcentered care. Methods: Data were collected through convenience sampling and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) 7.0 was conducted to analyze the effects of individual and organizational factors for patient-centered care. Results: One hundred and thirty five participants were included, of which 42.2% were registered nurses (RNs), 20.0% certified nursing assistants, and 37.8% care workers. Among the 14 nursing homes assessed, the average proportion of registered nurses was 7.6%. Patient-centered care was explained by a power of 2.4% at the individual level and was significantly associated with religion of nursing staff. The explanatory variables were not significant at the organizational level. Conclusion: While previous studies have highlighted the association established between patient-centered care and both individual and organizational characteristics, the same degree of association was not found in the present study primarily due to convenience sampling. Possible avenues for improvement include further consideration of the differences between individual and organizational variables and the addition of more explanatory variables to measure their impact on patient-centered care. Nonetheless the present study provides informative perspectives on the perception of nursing staff regarding elder abuse and human rights sensitivity of nursing staff.
