Purpose: We conducted phenomenological qualitative research to provide in depth understanding on infectious disease management. Methods: Participants were 10 nurses working in an isolation ward, where only patients with infectious diseases were institutionalized in one general hospital in Seoul. Data were collected through individual interviews and analyzed according to Colaizzi data analysis method. Results: The main theme of the experience of the nurses who worked in the isolated ward was ‘Nurse's sense of duty to overcome the fear of infection’. Through 83 meaningful re-statements and 13 themes, three sub-themes including ‘Unstable isolation ward’, ‘Taking care of infected patients’ and ‘Insufficient isolation patient care system’. Conclusion: Nurses, working in the new isolation ward, work in a lonely and dangerous environment having fear of infection, being lack of supplies and overcoming various psychological difficulties. In-depth understanding of these needs require efficient infection management policies, measures, and societal recognition.

Purpose: Compassionate act is important factors for staff-nurse to be able for them to work within friendly organizational culture at a hospital setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of the collective compassion process for human resources management in hospital. Collective compassion process was consisted of collectively noticing, collectively feeling, and collectively responding. Collective compassion process can decrease personal suffering at work settings. Compassion process have 3 dimensions-personal, organizational culture, and institutional. Methods: 22 staff nurses and 5 nurse managers were participated in the study. Data were collected with in-depth personal interviews. Collected data were analyzed with content analysis. Results: Staff nurse felt absence of compassion processes of 3 dimensions (personal, organizational culture, and institutional) when they were in suffering. However nurse managers asserted that hospital organization has the compassion processes of 3 dimensions for staff nurses. Absence of compassionate act in the nursing field was one of reasons that they quit their job. Conclusion: The result of this study provided one of the empirical evidences of the importance of compassion process in nursing organizations. Thus we recommend developing an intervention program to increase compassionate act for reducing nurse's suffering.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the nurse’s experiences of ‘work flow interruption’ in hospital settings. Methods: Data were collected by in-depth interviews with 6 nurse in General wards or in the ER of tertiary hospitals. Qualitative content analysis method was used to analyze the data. Results: The following three categories were elicited; ‘acceptable interruptions’, ‘unacceptable interruption’, ‘nursing work environment interrupting work flow’. Conclusion: The findings provided interruptions are occurring in systemic structure and relationships within the hospital, taking into account the aspect of providing quality nursing care as profession. This confirms that nurses have negative effect on workload rather than positive ones. Based on the findings, it needs to be of interest to the nurses at the organizational level in order to relieve the burden and fatigue due to overloaded work.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pre-briefing in simulation-based learning on nursing students’ satisfaction with simulation. Method: A quasi-experimental post-test study was applied with 174 senior nursing students at a private university in South Korea. The experimental group (n=88) underwent a pre-briefing program, whereas the control group (n=86) did not. During pre-briefing, students had time to study simulation scenarios, discuss nursing processes related to simulation scenarios, and experience a simulation environment before simulation practice. Satisfaction scores were measured using the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale(SSE). Results: The mean scores in satisfaction with simulation were higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.23, p<.001). Conclusion: This study emphasizes that pre-briefing in simulation-based learning is important in increasing students’ satisfaction and should be included in the planning of simulation-based learning programs.
