Purpose: This study aimed to measure the level of patient advocacy (the core attribute), nursing professionalism and ethical climate perceived by hospital nurses in Korea, and to identify factors influencing patient advocacy (the core attribute). Method: This study was conducted on 234 full-time nurses who had been working for more than 1 year at a general hospital located in a provincial city in Korea. Data were collected from November 15 to 30, 2024, using questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 27.0. Results: Among patient advocacy, ‘safeguarding patients’ autonomy’ was explained by 30.0% by professional self-concept, patients, and professional identity in nursing, ‘acting on behalf of patients’ was explained by 34.0% by professional self-concept, role of nursing practice, patients, originality of nursing, and professional identity in nursing, and ‘championing social justice’ was explained by 36.0% by professional self-concept, patients, and managers. Conclusion: In order to improve patient advocacy of hospital nurses, it could be concluded that improving professional self-concept among the sub-factors of nursing professionalism and improving patients among the sub-factors of ethical climate are very effective. Therefore, nursing managers need to make managerial efforts to improve nurses’ professional self-concept and awareness of patients.

본 연구의 목적은 환자경험평가와 관련하여 그동안 주로 연구되었던 평가자 (입원경험 환자) 관점에서 벗어나 환자경험평가의 주서비스제공자인 간호사 관 점에서 시사점을 고찰하고, 코칭계가 환자경험평가 시행 이후 의료기관에서 강 화해야 할 코칭적 접근 방법에 대한 기초자료를 제시하여 의료기관 내 코칭문화 확산과 동시에 환자경험평가의 향상에 기여하려는 것이다. 목적을 달성하기 위 해 환자경험평가의 설문항목과 평가 결과를 분석하고 간호사 대상 코칭 관련 연 구를 분석하였다. 도출된 문제점은 간호사의 역할 비중이 과다하여 심리적 부담 감이 가중되고, 간호서비스 수준이 상향평준화 되어 있어 획기적인 점수 향상을 기대하기 어려우며, 대인적 측면에서 위로와 공감, 의사소통 부분 개선이 필요 하고, 제도와 시스템 등 구성원이 해결할 수 없는 장벽들로 인해 동기부여가 제 한적이라는 점 등이다. 이를 기반으로 간호사 코칭역량 강화, 경영진 및 관리자 코칭리더십 강화, 위로와 공감, 소통 등 대인관계 역량 강화 등의 코칭적 접근 방법을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences on patient safety incidents in special departments. Methods: Data were collected from June 1 to July 31, 2019 through in-depth interviews with 8 nurses who worked in tertiary hospitals. Data were analyzed using Braun & Clarke's thematic analysis method. Results: Four themes and fourteen sub-themes emerged. Four themes are as follows: ‘Incidents occurred by missing confirmation in the operating room’, ‘Unexpected incidents in ICU’, ‘Incidents related to difficult intravenous cannulation in pediatric patients’, ‘Nurses are near to patient safety’. Conclusion: The findings provided valuable information on the hospital nurses' experiences on patient safety incidents in special departments, which may have serious consequences and have not been easily addressed. Programs to sustain patient safety and nursing systems to guard against these incidents should be developed.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to develop a simulation scenario for patients with increased intracranial pressure(IICP) and a simulation education program based on Goal-based Scenario(GBS). Methods: The first stage of this study was to investigate GBS, based on which a simulation scenario was developed using the modified Bay Area Simulation Collaborative scenario template. A team of experts was asked to evaluate the scenario. Results: The simulation education program was creasted, which included educational goals, missions, scenarios, roles, scenario operations, resources, and feedback. The scenarios were analyzed on the basis of 4 algorithm: initial assessment, neurologic assessment, IICP nursing assessmnet, reassessment of IICP signs, and monitoring vital signs. Conclusion: The simulation scenarios developed in this study can provide students with opportunities to practice nursing for patients with IICP, Further, this scenario may provide instructors with a systematic and sustainable simulation education model for an instructor.
