Purpose
This study aimed to verify the effect of patient safety environment (PSE) and health literacy (HL) on patient safety participation (PSP) and the mediating effect of HL. Methods We recruited patients who were hospitalized at a tertiary general hospital in “D” city. A total of 230 people responded to a questionnaire survey we conducted from March 15 to July 10, 2020. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis, and hierarchical regression using SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results PSP was found to be significantly associated with PSE (r=.29, p<.001) and HL (r=.44, p<.001). PSE and HL were found to have a significant effect on PSP (power: 23%). HL was found to have a partial mediating effect (indirect effect: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.04~0.14) between PSE and PSP. Conclusion The findings from this study can contribute to developing interventions for patient participation in the PSE and providing directions for offering safe and high-quality medical care to patients.

Purpose
This study aims to determine nursing students’ orientation toward patient-centered care (PCC) and identify its influencing factors: their personality traits, empathy, and psychological capital (PsyCap). A mediating model was used to test the role of PsyCap in the association between empathy and PCC. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 300 nursing students from seven universities in South Korea. Their orientation toward PCC was measured using the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS). Moreover, we analyzed the data using independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's r, and SPSS PROCESS macro. Results: The overall mean score on the PPOS was 3.82±0.43, with the Caring and Sharing subscales accounting for 3.95±0.68 and 3.69±0.50, respectively. Nursing students’ satisfaction with their majors, practicums, and motivation for choosing this profession was significantly related to Caring-not Sharing. Nevertheless, PsyCap positively influenced both Caring (β=.24, p<.001) and Sharing (β=.18, p=.002). While empathy failed to significantly impact both Caring (β=.12, p=.087) and Sharing (β=.01, p=.931). PsyCap mediated the association of empathy with Caring (β=.20, p=.004); however, the same was not true for Sharing (β=.07, p=.366). Conclusion: The findings indicate that the orientation of Korean nursing students toward PCC is not high. Therefore, to improve the PPOS Caring subscale, nurse educators should formulate better strategies to enhance nursing students’ satisfaction with their major and practicums, empathy, and PsyCap. The importance of sharing health-related information with patients and family caregivers should be emphasized in the nursing curriculum. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
Purpose
This study was to identify how a nursing management practicum was operated during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. Methods: This study surveyed instructors teaching the nursing management practicum with a questionnaire covering five domains and 42 items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results: The practicum was performed mainly by mixed methods (40.8% and 38.5%), in hospitals only (30.8% and 60.4%), online only (19.8% and 1.1%) in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The mixed methods were most frequently used for instructor teaching and conferences (43.9% and 58.3%). and the average teaching time per week was 9.40 and 8.69 hours per week, respectively. Taking charge in one to three core nursing skill items, 87.8% and 90.1% of the respondents each year performed face to face evaluation for the skills. Four to six out of 12 POs were covered by 58.2% and 54.9% of the participants, respectively, in 2020 and 2021. The greatest difficulty under the pandemic was securing students’ hospital assignments. Conclusion: The nursing management practicum needs to adopt various digital technologies, and create new education models including hybrid ones combining both contact and untact methods to improve the educational effect for the post COVID-19 era.

Purpose
This study analyzed news titles related to nurses in Korea before and after the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, and aimed to identify the implications of media reports. Methods: Data from January 2019 to December 2020 were collected from BIGKINDS regarding Korean nurses. Text mining and CONCOR analysis were conducted on the top 30 keywords using TEXTOM and Ucinet 6. Results: From the findings of this study, keywords were related to Taewom and Newborn death in 2019. Additionally, because of COVID-19 and the controversy over the encouragement of President Moon Jae-in, Taewom was included in 2020. Using CONCOR analysis, 6 clusters (characteristics and results of major incidents, the issue related target, Newborn abuse, Taewom, drugs, nursing education) were generated in 2019, and 6 clusters (emergency room, hero, controversy, Taewom, COVID-19, hospital infection) were generated in 2020. Conclusion: Before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the news headlines of nurses consisted of negative keywords, while there were few positive news headlines. In order to improve the image of nurses, it is necessary to continuously analyze media trends and establish strategies accordingly. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
Purpose
This study aimed to analyze the effects of infection control education (ICE) prospectively, based on isolation room simulation for nursing college students. Methods: From September 21 to 30 2020, a total of 97 students in the 4th grade of nursing college located in D city, were enrolled (48 in the experimental group and 49 in the control group). The experimental group received an isolation room simulation for ICE. The control group conducted an objective structured clinical evaluation for the same education. The effects after education were evaluated using the items of awareness of standard precaution, knowledge of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), and confidence in wearing it. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the awareness of standard precautions between the two groups, and the knowledge of wearing PPE was significantly higher in the experimental group (t=-3.41, p<.001) after education. The confidence score for wearing PPE was also significantly higher in the experimental group (t=-2.23, p=.028). Conclusion: The ICE using the isolation room simulation can be effective for knowledge and confidence regarding the aspect of wearing PPE for nursing students, during and after the pandemic.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence nurses' implementation of evidence-based fall management in geriatric hospitals. METHODS Data from the Evidence Based Practice Survey of Fall Management in Geriatric Hospitals were examined for this study. The participants were 248 nurses from geriatric hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and stepwise regression. RESULTS Factors related to implementation of evidence-based fall management were belief in evidence-based practice with organizational culture, work experience, use of fall guideline, and experience of patient falls. These factors explained 56.7% of variance in implementation of evidence-based fall management. Among these factors, the significant predictors for implementation of evidence-based fall management were belief in evidence-based practice, organizational culture of evidence-based practice, work experience, use of fall guideline and experience of patient falls. CONCLUSION Results of this study suggest that it is necessary to develop a systematic program to enhance nurses' belief in evidence-based practice at the individual level. In addition, fostering organizational culture toward evidence-based practice and disseminating fall management guidelines at the organizational level can be important strategies to enhance evidence-based fall management in geriatric hospitals.
