Purpose
This descriptive correlation study explored the moderating effect of social support and coping in the correlation between experiences of verbal violence and turnover intention among operating room nurses. Methods: The data collection for this study was conducted from July 22 to August 2, 2019, covering 213 operating room nurses working at six general hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: The mean scores on the experiences of verbal violence by doctors and nurses, social support, coping and turnover intention were 2.52, 2.33, 3.42, 2.61 and 3.90, respectively. Experiences of verbal violence by doctors (r=.21, p=.002) and nurses (r=.25, p<.001) showed a statistically significant positive correlation with turnover intention. In the relationship between the experiences of verbal violence and turnover intention, social support from coworkers (β=.80, p=.018) and coping (β=-.87, p=.005) had a moderating effect. Conclusion: The experience of verbal violence among operating room nurses affects turnover intention; therefore, there is a need to reduce verbal violence at medical sites, support programs to encourage social support from coworkers, and an effective system to cope with verbal violence.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to adapt the standardized evidence-based nursing protocol using the IPC (intermittent pneumatic compression) intervention to prevent venous thromboembolism in surgical patients. Further, an investigation was done to measure knowledge on prevention of venous thromboembolism, surrogate incidence of venous thromboembolism and to assess IPC compliance in the study patients compared with those in surgical patients who underwent IPC intervention due to previous clinical experience. METHODS An analysis was done of the nine modules suggested by National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency (NECA) in the adaptation manual of the clinical practice guideline for protocol adaptation. A nonequivalent control group post test design as a quasi-experiment was used to verify the effect of the IPC protocol. RESULTS There was a significant difference in knowledge of prevention of venous thromboembolism, IPC application time after intervention and the number of IPC applications between the experimental group (n=50) using the IPC nursing protocol and the control group (n=49). However, the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism were not observed in either the experimental group or the control group after the intervention. CONCLUSION Results confirm that the standardized IPC nursing protocol provides effective intervention to prevent venous thromboembolism in surgical patients.
