Methods Data was collected on 197 emergency nurses, from November 8 to December 8, 2022. Data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation, hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results There was significant positive correlation between disaster nursing core competencies, coping flexibility, and quality of work life. The primary factors that significantly affected the quality of work life of emergency nurses were disaster nursing core competencies (β=.66, p<.001) and emergency department experience (β=.19, p=.030). The explanatory power of variable was 60%.

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate factors affecting prevention performance of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) among long-term care hospital nurses. Methods: The participants were 162 nurses in 11 long-term care hospitals. Data were collected from May 21 to June 4, 2021, using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with an independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis. All analyses were performed using SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results: The factors influencing the prevention performance of CAUTI were formal learning (β=.22, p=.003) and prevention knowledge on CAUTI (β=.17, p=.029). These variables explained 13% of the prevention performance of CAUTI. Conclusion: In this study, it is necessary for long-term care hospitals to develop infection prevention educational programs for CAUTI based on nursing evidence and ensure that nurses apply the knowledge obtained through these educational programs.
Purpose
This study aimed to identify pro-social behavior, self-determination, and life satisfaction status among nursing students, and to analyze the relationships between these variables and their effects on nursing students’ life satisfaction. Methods: It was conducted from January 10 to January 19, and data from 210 nursing students were collected through the online survey system of an Internet portal site. Results: As a result of the study, pro-social behavior and self-determination (autonomy, competence, relationship (s)), and life satisfaction showed a statistically significant positive correlation with each other. Competence (p<.001) and relationships (p=.018), affected nursing students‘life satisfaction. The higher the competence (B=0.41), the stronger the relationships. Further, the higher the score (B=0.21), the higher the satisfaction. Additionally, it was found that the effect of competence (β=.40) on life satisfaction was higher than that of relationships on life satisfaction (β=.16). Pro-social behavior did not affect nursing students’ life satisfaction (p=.654). Conclusion: Through the results of this study, we suggest the need for efforts to improve nursing students’ life satisfaction by developing and applying various programs that can increase self-determination in the nursing education process.

METHODS A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure empathy, fairness, voice behavior and intention in helping behavior. During November 2018, data were collected from 128 nursing students in D and G cities. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. RESULTS Empathy, fairness and voice behavior were positively correlated with intention in helping behavior of participants and voice behavior was positively correlated with empathy, fairness and intention in helping behavior of participants respectively. Also, voice behavior had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between empathy, fairness and intention in helping behavior. CONCLUSION Findings indicate that empathy and fairness are important factors related to the intention in helping behavior of nursing students. It is also expected that voice behavior can further promote the intention in helping behavior of nursing students. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by

The study was done to investigate the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationships between informal learning and organizational socialization and between shared leadership and organizational socialization among short career nurses. METHODS A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure organizational socialization, informal learning, shared leadership and self-efficacy. During February, 2017, data were collected from 136 nurses working in hospitals of more than 500 beds. Data were analyzed using hierarchial multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. RESULTS Informal learning, shared leadership and self-efficacy were positively correlated with organizational socialization of participants and self-efficacy was positively correlated with informal learning and shared leadership of participants. Also, self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between informal learning, shared leadership and organizational socialization. CONCLUSION The findings indicate that organizational culture with high level of informal learning and shared leadership is an important factor for organizational socialization of short career nurses. It is also expected that self-efficacy can further promote their organizational socialization. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting the social distance between minority groups and nursing cadets. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design was used. A questionnaire was distributed to the entire Armed Forces Nursing Academy cadets. Data from 273 nursing cadets were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and Stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS Social distance had positive correlations with collective identity (r=.28) and multiculturalism (r=.37). A negative correlation was found between social distance and perceived threat (r=-.38). Perceived threat, multiculturalism, collective identity, and frequency of contact with minorities were identified as factors affecting the social distance. The model explained 24% of the variables. CONCLUSION To effectively respond to the minority groups' nursing needs in the army, educational programs which help to reduce the perceived threat, to strengthen multiculturalism, and to establish a healthy collective identity of nursing cadets need to be developed.
