The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing post-traumatic growth in mothers with premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: A correlational research design was used and 105 mothers of premature infants were recruited from an online community. Data were collected from January 15 to January 25, 2019. Post-traumatic growth was measured using the Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The final model developed in this study explained 45.5% of post-traumatic growth (F=13.66, p<.001). Resilience (β=.54, p<.001) was the strongest predictor of post-traumatic growth, followed by the age of the mother when giving birth (β=.17, p=.028) and current employment status (β=.17, p=.049). Conclusion: For mother with premature infants to grow psychologically after their experience, it may be needed to support them to develop and strengthen their resilience through either education or their own support network.

Methods: This study compared self-efficacy, clinical-experience stress, and clinical-practice satisfaction between two groups of third-year nursing undergraduate students who experienced a different timing of simulations in an obstetrical rotation. One group of nursing students performed simulations before clinical practice (n ¼ 42); a second group performed simulations after clinical practice (n ¼ 38). Results: No significant differences emerged in scores of self-efficacy, clinical-experience stress, and clinical-practice satisfaction between the two groups. Survey questions on simulation timing demonstrated that 55 (69%) students preferred simulation practice at the end of obstetrics clinical rotations. Conclusions: Students reported individual preferences for various reasons. Nurse educators should consider students' viewpoints regarding the timing of labor and delivery simulations to provide optimal outcomes.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using self-reported online questionnaires. The participants were 85 women with colorectal cancer who had undergone ostomy formation surgery. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS version 26.0. Results: The mean sexual satisfaction score was 2.79±0.73 (range, 0~5). There was no significant relationship between self-esteem and sexual satisfaction. Sexual communication had a significant correlation with sexual satisfaction (r=.83, p<.001) and was a strong predictor of sexual satisfaction (β=.83, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that colorectal cancer patients with ostomy experience low sexual satisfaction and that sexual communication is a meaningful factor for sexual satisfaction. Accordingly, nurses need to factor in sexual issues when caring for patients, and should encourage both patients and their partners to participate in education related to sexual health. It will also be helpful to inform patients about the importance of sexual communication with their partners as a sustainable intervention.

Methods: A one-group pretesteposttest study was conducted to investigate the impact of virtual simulation on nursing students' critical thinking and self-directed learning abilities. The participants were 47 Korean nursing students, completing a 4-week course that included the use of vSim for Nursing. Results: No statistically significant differences emerged between the assessments on critical thinking or self-directed learning ability before and after virtual simulation. However, one subscale on selfdirected learning ability, ''gathering resources for learning,'' showed statistical significance. Conclusions: Virtual simulation in its current format can be applied to Korean nursing students, but should be tailored to language appropriateness and the Korean clinical environment.

In this study, a nationwide data of 11,154 nurses from the 2016 Health Workers’ Survey conducted by Korean Health and Medical Workers’ Union(KHMU) were utilized. Results showed that about half (47.2%) of nurses were experiencing verbal violence from colleagues, patients, and caregivers. Also, 75.3% of nurses in this study had the turnover intention. Finally, nurses who experienced violence had 2.65 times more of turnover intention than nurses who did not have violence experiences. There is a need to conduct a research identifying significant moderating factors which could alleviate the effect of violence experiences on turnover intentions as well as a research to develop and apply the program assisting nurses to overcome violence experience. ■ keyword :∣Nurse∣Violence∣Turnover Int...

Nurses may also hold non-evidenced-based beliefs that affect their own health behaviours and their practices. Using Q-methodology, pilot Q-cards representing a concourse of health beliefs for Japanese and South Korean nurses and explain the content and sources of health beliefs. Qualitative. Two university campuses, one each in Japan and Korea. A convenience sample of 30 was obtained, 14 clinical nurses and 16 academic nurses. Literature reviews and expert informants were used to develop two sets of 65 Q-cards which listed culturally appropriate health beliefs in both Japan and Korea. These beliefs were examined in four structured groups and five individual interviews in Japan, and five groups and two individual interviews in Korea. Our unique study revealed six categories regarding sources of health beliefs that provide rich insights about how participants accessed, processed and transmitted health information. They were more certain about knowledge from their specialty area such as that from medical or nursing resources, but derived and distributed many general health beliefs from personal experience, family and mass media. They did not always pass on accurate information to students or those in their care, and often beliefs were not based on scientific evidence. Findings highlight the dangers of clinical and academic nurses relying on health belief advice of others and passing this on to patients, students or others, without mindfully examining the basis of their beliefs through scientific evidence.

To this end, it intends to find out effective online teaching methods and provide the necessary basic data for improving learning satisfaction. A total of 110 students of nursing college in G city were the subjects of this study and surveyed for research in a self-reporting form May 5 to May 30, 2020. Data were analyzed using t-tests, Pearson's correlations coefficients, and a stepwise multiple regression with the IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 program. Self-directed learning strategy averaged 4.08 (±0.56), learning flow averaged 3.28 (±0.74), teaching presence averaged 4.15 (±0.64), and learning satisfaction 4.18 (±0.75). Learning satisfaction showed significant positive correlations with self-directed learning strategy (r=.55, p<.001), learning flow (r=.62, p<.001) and teaching presence (r=.86, p<.001). Teaching presence, which accounted for 74% of the variance, was a significant predictor of learning satisfaction among nursing college students. Therefore, in order to improve the learning satisfaction of nursing college students in online classes, a variety of methods should be explored and applied to enhance teaching presence. This study can be used to establish an online learning management system to improve learning satisfaction.

For this study, 240 nursing students were involved. Data was collected in two time points, beginning of the semester and end of the same semester, using structured questionnaire including measurement of burnout and career identity. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 22.0 program. The results of this study were as follows. The score of burnout at the end of the semester was significantly higher than the beginning of the semester(t=-10.608, p=.000) among nursing students. Also, the score of career identity at the end of the semester was significantly higher than the beginning of the semester (t=3.369, p=.000). Nursing students are under a lot of stress from academic studies as well as clinical practices and therefore they feel burnout at the end of the semester. However nursing students have career identity after completing the academic semester.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed among 111 hospital nurses. Pediatric nurses' perceptions of obstacles and supportive behaviors were measured using the Pediatric Nurses' Perceptions of End of Life Care Questionnaire which was translated into Korean and turnover intention was measured using the Korean Nurse Turnover Intention Scale (K-NTIS). Results: The supportive behavior with the highest perceived magnitude was 'Physicians who are compassionate, but very clear about prognosis.' The obstacle with the highest perceived magnitude was 'Instigating painful treatments when there is no hope of recovery.' Pediatric nurses' perceptions of obstacles in end-of-life care showed statistically significant differences depending on whether nurses received end-of-life care education (t=2.02, p=.046). The perception of obstacles in end-of-life care was positively correlated with turnover intention (intensity r=.28, p=.002) (frequency r=.20, p=.027). Conclusion: These results suggest that pediatric nurses' perception of obstacles and supportive behaviors in end-of-life care need to be assessed when considering turnover intention. Furthermore, psychological counseling should be offered to nurses to prevent burnout and reduce moral distress which is correlated with the turnover rate.

For this study, 240 nursing students were involved. Data was collected in two time points, beginning of the semester and end of the same semester, using structured questionnaire including measurement of burnout and career identity. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 22.0 program. The results of this study were as follows. The score of burnout at the end of the semester was significantly higher than the beginning of the semester(t=-10.608, p=.000) among nursing students. Also, the score of career identity at the end of the semester was significantly higher than the beginning of the semester (t=3.369, p=.000). Nursing students are under a lot of stress from academic studies as well as clinical practices and therefore they feel burnout at the end of the semester. However nursing students have career identity after completing the academic semester.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed among 111 hospital nurses. Pediatric nurses' perceptions of obstacles and supportive behaviors were measured using the Pediatric Nurses' Perceptions of End of Life Care Questionnaire which was translated into Korean and turnover intention was measured using the Korean Nurse Turnover Intention Scale (K-NTIS). Results: The supportive behavior with the highest perceived magnitude was 'Physicians who are compassionate, but very clear about prognosis.' The obstacle with the highest perceived magnitude was 'Instigating painful treatments when there is no hope of recovery.' Pediatric nurses' perceptions of obstacles in end-of-life care showed statistically significant differences depending on whether nurses received end-of-life care education (t=2.02, p=.046). The perception of obstacles in end-of-life care was positively correlated with turnover intention (intensity r=.28, p=.002) (frequency r=.20, p=.027). Conclusion: These results suggest that pediatric nurses' perception of obstacles and supportive behaviors in end-of-life care need to be assessed when considering turnover intention. Furthermore, psychological counseling should be offered to nurses to prevent burnout and reduce moral distress which is correlated with the turnover rate.
