Purpose
The aim of this study was to explore the causes and effects of burnout experienced by insurance review nurses working in hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from April to May, 2021, using focus group interviews. The study enrolled 19 insurance review nurses with at least one year of experience. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: Causes of burnout were divided into three categories: eight subcategories (feeling of insufficient competence in an insurance review, closed mind in a limited working space, incompetency from other departments, harsh words and deeds that exclude me, insurance cuts controlling my work performance, cloudy mind chased by the billing date, ineffective hospital information systems, and question with no answer) and 23 causes. The impact of burnout was divided into three categories: six subcategories (experiencing mental and physical symptoms, projecting one’s feelings into family or neglecting them, withdrawing myself, wearing a mask, decreased work performance, and desiring to leave one’s work), and 14 concepts. Conclusion: This study provides basic data for strategy development to prevent and solve burnout problems among insurance review nurses. It is important to develop programs and policies to solve the burnout problem of insurance review nurses in the future. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
This study was done to identify trends in leadership-related research by reviewing studies on hospital nurses in South Korea. METHODS The research was conducted from April 2 to 14, 2018 and search databases were RISS, KISS, DBpia, KM base, NAL, and NDSL. Search terms were ‘leadership’ and ‘nursing’ in the Korean language, and total 141 papers were selected. RESULTS Analysis of the research on leadership showed that 96.4% of research methods were quantitative research, and 60.3% were predictive researches. For study settings, 46.2% were general hospitals, 96.5% were staff nurses. In the study of leadership variables, 60.3% were independent variables and recent leadership was used as a mediating variable (4.3%) and a moderating variable (2.8%). Among the leadership types, self-leadership (31.2%) was the most common, and the main variable related to leadership was job satisfaction (25.8%). CONCLUSION These results provide useful data for deriving new research ideas about nursing leadership. Furthermore, this study has significance for providing the evidence for developing new leadership programs and policies in nursing organizations. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analysis the manuscripts rejected for publication in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration during the last three years six months (2012~2015 Jun). METHODS Seventy eight rejected manuscripts were analyzed focusing on manuscripts characteristics, such as rejection rates, year of submission, occupation of first author and corresponding author, number of authors, funding, thesis or dissertation, article type, study participants, number of reviews prior to rejection, and 3rd reviewer. Also reviewers' quantitative evaluation scores and subjective comments were analyzed. Reviewers' subjective comments were analyzed using content analysis methodology. RESULTS The mean rate for manuscript rejection was 28.9% and for quantitative research, qualitative research, and review papers the quantitative evaluation scores were 2.54+/-0.70, 2.39+/-0.69, and 2.39+/-0.69 out of 5 points, respectively. The most frequent subjective comment on rejected manuscripts was 'lack of rationale for research need'. CONCLUSION In this study the characteristics and the reasons for rejecting manuscripts were identified. These findings can be used in developing effective strategies for researchers, reviewers and editors to improve the quality of research and research reviews of nursing administration research.

Each domain was classified into three categories; personal, job-related, and relationships. Further 17 sub-categories and 47 concepts were discovered. CONCLUSION In this study various causes and effects of burnout experienced by nurses counseling PLWHA were identified. These findings can be used in developing effective strategies for nurses, administrators, and health policy makers to solve the burnout of counseling nurses. Further research is required to develop detailed and practical job description for nurses counseling PLWHA. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
