Purpose: This study investigated the effects of major satisfaction, academic self-efficacy, and clinical practice stress on college student burnout among nursing students. Methods: Data were collected from October 2019 to January 2020. The data were collected from third and fourth-grade nursing students enrolled at different universities in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, and Gangwon-do. A total of 270 questionnaires were used for data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting college student burnout. Results: The major satisfaction total score was 65.25(±12.64). The academic selfefficacy total score was 86.56(±13.39). The total clinical practice stress score was 72.93(±11.88). The total score for burnout among college students was 53.73(±14.75). The explanatory power of major satisfaction, academic self-efficacy, and clinical practice stress for college student burnout was 51.3%. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and apply an educational program to improve major satisfaction and academic self-efficacy, and lower clinical practice stress to reduce college student burnout among nursing students. Thus, education should be actively applied using simulations.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the effect of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) preparation education implemented with smart glasses in augmented reality on the performance ability, performance confidence, and educational satisfaction of clinical nurses. Method: The participants were clinical nurses at B hospital—27 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The measurement tools were performance ability (24 items), performance confidence (11 items), and educational satisfaction (9 items). The experimental group intervention used augmented reality with smart glasses, and the control group used video resources. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, x2-test, and ANCOVA using the SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25.0. Results: The performance was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 104.83, p < .001). Performance confidence was considerably higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 2.09, p = .041). Finally, educational satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 4.52, p < .001). Conclusion: It was confirmed that ECMO education implementing augmented reality with smart glasses is an effective method for improving performance ability, performance confidence, and educational satisfaction among clinical nurses.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of the blended learning method during self-practice of transfusion therapy on nursing students’ academic achievement in transfusion therapy, confidence in performing transfusion therapy, self-directed learning ability, and satisfaction with self-practice. Methods: The study design was a non-equivalent control group pretestposttest quasi-experimental design. The participants were 75 nursing students divided into two groups: 38 in the experiment group and 37 in the control group. The blended learning method, combined with face-to-face and online learning, was applied to the experimental group’s self-practice from October 12 to 30, 2020. For the control group’s self-practice, face-to-face learning without online learning was employed. Results: The experimental group showed significantly better academic achievement than the control group. There were no significant differences in confidence in performance, self-directed learning ability, and satisfaction with self-practice between the two groups. Conclusion: This study showed that the blended learning method combined with face-to-face learning and online learning in self-practice significantly affected academic achievement. Further studies are needed to identify effective online learning methods for nursing practice.

지금까지 간호사 교육프로그램들은 개별적으로 다양하게 연구되었으나, 그 연구를 종합하여 그 효과성을 보여주는 연구가 없었다. 그래서 개별적인 연구를 종합하여 효과성을 검정하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 간호사 교육프 로그램을 주제로 2002~2021년까지 20년간 국내에서 연구된 학술논문 22편(효과 크기 38개)에 대한 메타분석을 통해 효과성을 검정하는 것이다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체 효과크기는 1.1196로 나타나 유의미한 효과성을 보여주었으며, 효과크기의 동질성보다는 이질성(Q값에 대한 유의확률 p=0.0001, I2 =86.2%)이 확인되어 랜덤효과모델로 해석되었다. 둘째, 효과변인 간의 동질성 검정 결과는 Q =12.07(df=5, p<0.0338), Q-df>0이므로 연구 간 분산이 실제 존재함을 보여준다. 셋째, 조절변인(Alpha와 ST)로 메타회귀분석을 한 결과 유의미한 설명력을 보여주지 못했다. 넷째, 효과변인 간의 효과크기 차이는 지식(7 개)에서 Hedges’ g=1.7434, 수행능력(6개)에서 Hedges’ g=1.7294, 자기효능감(8 개)에서 Hedges’ g=1.1666, 의사소통능력(5개)에서 Hedges’ g =0.6835, 스트레스 (7개)에서 Hedges’ g =0.6674, 태도(5개)에서 Hedges’ g =0.5648 순으로 나타났으며, 지식의 효과크기가 가장 컸고, 태도의 효과크기가 가장 낮았다. 출판편향을 분석하기 위해 깔때기 그림, Egger의 회귀분석, 안정성계수, 절삭-과-보충, 보정된 깔때기 그림 등을 분석해 본 결과를 살펴보았을 때, 본 연구의 출판편향의 문제는 없었다. 마지막으로 본 연구 결과의 의미와 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the current satisfaction levels with nurse uniforms at Taizhou General Hospital in China and to find areas for improvement in order to develop nurse uniforms with improved comfort, fit and convenience. To investigate satisfaction with nurse uniforms, a survey was conducted of 150 nurses. The general characteristics of the nurses, uniform conditions, feelings of satisfaction, fit, preferred designs, inconvenient aspects of the uniforms, and areas for improvement were analyzed. Eight materials of cotton/polyester blended fabrics were selected according to Chinese nurse uniform regulations, and the physical properties of the materials were tested along with the materials used in current nurse uniforms. Four new nurse uniforms with increased aesthetics, functionality, and comfort were developed based on the survey results. Materials with excellent absorption, moisture permeability, and ventilation were used as main fabrics. According to the preferred designs of nurses at Taizhou City General Hospital, China, 4 types of nurse uniforms designed, consisting of design 1 (shirt and pants), design 2 (shirt and pants), design 3 (dress), and design 4 (shirt and skirt). The new nurse uniforms offered better functionality with an improved fit at the armpits, waist, hips, and knees based on product measurements.

Purpose: This study explored and described the lived experiences of nurses in taking care of patients during COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 10 nurses who involved in COVID-19 patient care. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis. Results: Qualitative data analysis revealed three categories: ‘standing in front of the pandemic’, ‘harsh experience of caring for COVID-19 patients’, and ‘finding a way for better COVID-19 patients care’. The lived experience of nurses in caring of patients with COVID-19 infection was ‘finding the best way to provide proper care in unfamiliar and difficult pandemic situation’. Conclusion: The results illustrated the motivation, meaning, and value of pandemic care from the nurses’ perspective. Nurses felt proud of being a part of dedicated hard-working team but distressed by crumbling death without dignity and pressured by being thrown at the front-line in the COVID-19 battle. The advanced practice nurses’ hidden supports and advices were helpful for them to reinforce nursing capacity for optimal care. Nursing professionalism should be enhanced by establishing the scope of practices and providing systematic support with appropriate rewards.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the general nurses's experiences of missing patient identification. Methods: Participants were 12 nurses who experienced missing patient identification in general wards in hospitals. Data were collected with focus group interviews and individual in-depth interviews and data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: As the results of this study, 128 statements, 4 themes and 13 sub-themes were derived. The four themes derived were ‘Situations that we had not to check patient identification properly’, ‘Fear and pressure from the result of missing patient identification’, ‘Feeling guilty to the results of missing patient identification’and ‘Efforts to reassuring patient identification’. Conclusion: In order to prevent the failure of patient identification, we need specialized programs to cultivate patient safety culture not only for nurses, also patients and caregivers, and all departments of hospital. We also need institutional efforts and effective hospital investment and supports for accomplishing the goal.

Nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU) often play key roles to improve the quality of end-of-life care. During those times, many nurses report they feel ambivalent in the caring between life and death. The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of ambivalence that ICU nurses often experienced in end-of-life care. As a method, this study was conducted with the concept analysis using the hybrid model Schwartz-Barcott and Kim (1986) presented, naming the complex and dual feelings nurses experience during end-of-life care in ICU as ambivalence. In the theoretical phase and from the literature review, characteristics of ambivalence were identified. During the fieldwork phase, in-depth interviews were conducted with five nurses. In the final phases, a theoretical description was extracted of ambivalence in ICU nurses during end-of-life care. In terms of results, external factors (i.e., realistic context, contradictions in nursing activities themselves) and internal factors (i.e., personal tendencies, conflicting perceptions of dying, occupational awareness of nurses, role conflicts) were derived as antecedents of ICU nurses’ ambivalence during end-of-life care. Attributes were divided into intrinsic and existential dimensions. Intrinsic dimensions resulted in "coexistence of opposing equivalent values," "uncertainty," "hiddenization," "value confrontation may occur sequentially," and "absence of willingness to resolve." In existential dimensions, the following conflicts were derived: "pressure on work versus sympathy about family grief," "helplessness due to failure of medical care versus sadness for patient death" and "role as a nurse versus sadness felt during end-of-life care.” The results are organized into negative assessments of oneself and adaptations to ambivalence. In conclusion, through this concept analysis, the hope is that ICU nurses will be able to prevent progressing to burnout by accurately and actively facing and managing their own feelings during end-of-life care. Furthermore, this research is expected to serve as the cornerstone of developing theories for clinicians who provide end-of-life care.

This study is a descriptive correlation study to explore the intention of nursing for patients with COVID-19 among nurses in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, and to identify factors influencing the nursing intention. Data were collected from 239 nurses with more than 6 months of working experience from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Hierarchical multiple regression using the SPSS WIN 24.0 program. According to a result of this study, the score of participant's nursing intention for patients with COVID-19 was an average of 4.48 points out of 7 points. Factors influencing the nursing intention were control beliefs, position, positive behavior beliefs, negative behavior beliefs, and normative beliefs: Among the factors influencing nursing intentions, control beliefs have been shown to have the greatest influence. These variables accounted for 65.2% of the variance in the nursing intention. Therefore, to increase the nursing intention for patients with COVID-19, it is necessary to educate and train nurses to strengthen their confidence in caring the patients. In addition, repeated studies were suggested with extended sample in other settings and to find other factors influencing the nursing intention.

This study aimed to explore research trends of nursing ethics in Korea applying text network analysis and topic modelling. 306 articles published in KCI journals from 1998 to 2021 were identified and 516 author-provided keywords were collected. A co-occurrence matrix with 123 keywords, which appeared at least in two articles, were developed based on the Jaccard coefficient. Degree centrality and betweenness centrality were calculated and LDA topic modelling were performed using NetMiner software. The largest number of the articles (70, 23%) were published in Korean Journal of Medical Ethics. The most critical core-keywords, defined as the top 30 keywords in degree centrality and betweenness centrality, were ‘nursing students’ and ‘moral sensitivity’. The other core-keywords included ‘attitude,’ ‘awareness,’ ‘professionalism,’ ‘knowledge,’ and ‘critical thinking.’ related to ethical competence, ‘death,’ ‘hospice,’ ‘euthanasia,’ and ‘research ethics’ related to bioethical issues, and ‘job satisfaction,’ ‘burn out,’ ‘stress,’ ‘organizational culture,’ ‘ethical leadership,’ and ‘ethical climate’ related to organization and leadership. Five topics were identified and named as a) bioethics education for nursing students, b) knowledge and attitudes for bioethical issues, c) awareness and values of bioethics, d) ethical conflicts of RNs, and e) nursing ethics education. This study found that bioethics was the main topics in Korean nursing ethics research and suggested nursing research should focus on ethical issues RNs frequently experience in patient care. Also, research gaps were inferred in multiple topics including nurse-to-nurse relationships, theoretical perspectives of virtue ethics and care ethics, or witnessing healthcare professionals’ unethical behavior.

The Life-sustaining Treatment Decisions Act has became enforced in 2018. Patients' decision-making on life-sustaining treatments can change according to their health status and situations and thus should be understood as the process requiring continuous care. Therefore, it is necessary to build a support system to help patients' decision-making at end-of-life care including life-sustaining treatments. Nurses provide continuous care at the bedside and play a significant role in supporting patients' and their families' decision-making about end-of-life care. Based on reviewing literature and the enforcing process of the Life-sustaining Treatment Decisions Act, this paper described nurses' nursing care activities to support decision-making on life-sustaining treatments. The nursing care activities are 'empathetic support for the decision-making,' 'respect for patients and families as agents for the decision-making,' and 'support for the decision-making as a counselor.' It can emphasize the importance of a nurse's role as a support system for patients’ and their families' decision-making about end-of-life care.
