Purpose
This study aimed to explore the influence of teamwork and grit on job adaptation and intention to remain among advanced beginner nurses. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive research design employing a survey method was used. The study involved 203 advanced beginner nurses with 13~36 months of experience working at a tertiary hospital. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results Job adaptation positively correlated with teamwork (r=.58, p<.001) and grit (r=.65, p<.001). Intention to remain was also positively correlated with teamwork (r=.32, p<.001) and grit (r=.59, p<.001). A hierarchical multiple regression model including control variables, teamwork, and grit accounted for 64% of the factors influencing job adaptation. Another hierarchical multiple regression model, incorporating control variables, teamwork, and grit, explained 44% of the factors influencing the intention to remain. Among the related factors, grit emerged as the most influential in regarding job adaption and intention to remain. Conclusion These findings underscore the importance of establishing a support system to bolster grit, enhancing adaptation to the job and fostering intention to remain among advanced beginner nurses.
Purpose
This study aimed to determine the impact of work environment, missed nursing care, and non-nursing tasks on the job stress of hospital nurses. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional survey of 164 nurses working in three hospitals was conducted. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results Hospital Nurses' job stress was negatively correlated with the work environment (r=-.37, p<.001). Job stress had a statistically significant positive correlation with non-nursing tasks (r=.34, p<.001); however, it had no significant correlation with missed nursing care (r=.05, p=.552). Regression model analysis revealed that the variables associated with job stress were non-nursing tasks (β=.29, p<.001) and the foundation for quality nursing care (β=-.25, p=.034), which are subdomains of the work environment. In contrast, missed nursing care was not determined to be a significant factor. Conclusion To effectively manage nurses' job stress, nurse managers should provide higher quality care by reducing the number of non-nursing tasks and creating a positive work environment, especially by providing adequate nursing workforce and material support.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of patient safety culture and perceived teamwork on the safety control of nurses. METHODS This study was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional survey with 141 nurses who worked in a tertiary hospital with over 1,000 beds in S city, Gyeonggi province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from July 20, to July, 31, 2015. RESULTS The average work period for nurses participating in the research was 8.84 years. The perceived teamwork and patient safety culture were positively correlated with safety control. The regression model with patient safety culture, perceived teamwork and clinical career against safety control was statistically significant (F=10.16, p<.001). This model also explained 37.1% of safety control (Adj. R2=.37). Especially, communication (β=.27, p=.023) of patient safety culture, clinical career (β=.26, p<.001), mutual support (β=.24, p=.042), and team leadership (β=.24, p=.018) in perceived teamwork were identified as factors influencing safety control. CONCLUSION The findings of this study imply that a broad approach including teamwork and patient safety culture should be considered to improve the safety control for nurses.

PURPOSE
Communication in hospitals is one of the major factors in patient safety. So, the purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between intra-organizational communication satisfaction and the safety attitude of nurses in hospitals. METHOD A descriptive survey design with convenience sampling was used. Data collection was done using a self-report questionnaire answered by 278 nurses from one university hospital located in Kyeoung-gi Province, Korea. RESULT Intra-organizational communication satisfaction positively correlated with safety attitude (r=.747, p<.01). Among the 6 sub dimensions of safety attitude, perceptions of management (r=.675, p<.01), job satisfaction (r=.640, p<.01) and teamwork climate (r=.600. p<.01) were strongly related to intra-organizational communication satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis was done to identify explanation power of intra-organizational communication satisfaction against safety attitude. The model was significant (F=48.540, p<.01). Intra-organizational communication satisfaction accounted for 60.9% of variance in safety attitude (Adj R2=.609). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that higher levels of intra-organizational communication satisfaction promote positive safety attitude in hospital nurses and that communication media quality is an important factor in patient safety attitude. Therefore, developing interventions to revitalize intra-organizational communication level based on communication media quality will help in the construction of positive safety attitude in nurses.
