Purpose
This study examined the effects of work environment, job engagement, and positive psychological capital on hospital nurses’ job embeddedness. Methods Participants were 118 hospital nurses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/Win 25.0. Results Mean work environment was 2.70±0.14, mean job engagement was 3.03±0.42, positive psychological capital was 4.05±0.27, and job embeddedness was 3.24±0.31. There were significant differences in job embeddedness by turnover experience and current working hospital type. The factors influencing the job embeddedness of the hospital nurses were turnover experience, current working hospital type, and nurse manager ability, leadership, and nueses’ support in the work environment. It was found that 23% could explain job embeddedness. Conclusion Implementing a nurse support program related to turnover experience and type of hospital is necessary to enhance job embeddedness. The results indicate a need to develop a coaching program for cultivating leadership and supporting nurses to improve job embeddedness.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of nursing professionalism and job stress on problem solving ability of community health practitioners. Methods The participants were 167 community health practitioners. Data were collected from December 18 to 28, 2019. Self-report questionnaires were administered to collect data regarding general characteristics, degree of nursing professionalism, job stress, and problem solving ability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. Results The factors influencing the degree of problem solving ability of the community health practitioners were professionalism of nursing (β=.29, p<.001), and interpersonal factors (β=-.25, p=.001). It was found that 15% could explain problem solving ability. Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen the professionalism of nursing and to decrease the interpersonal factors due to job stress for the community health practitioners. The results indicate a need to increase development of educational programs for capacity building of community health practitioners. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
This study was done to apply failure mode & effect analysis (FMEA) to chemotherapy in order to reduce prescribing, dispensing and administering errors related to treatment and provide patients with a safe medical environment. METHODS A one group pre-post test design was used to verify the effects using the tool for FMEA in chemotherapy. RESULTS There was a statistically significant decrease in prescribing errors from 11.47% to 3.18%; administering errors decreased but they were not statistically significant. In a addition, there was no change in dispensing errors. CONCLUSION The results show that FMEA removed risk factors that might occur during the process of chemotherapy and that it was an effective tool for prevention of negligent accident occurring in actual patients.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to ascertain current status of nurses' perception, nursing performance, job stress, and burnout in relation to the Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation and to verify the relationships among these variables. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed using questionnaires. Data were collected from 220 nurses who worked at one hospital from April 5 to May 4, 2013. RESULTS The scores for perception, nursing performance, job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation were(on a five-point Likert scale) 3.23, 4.01, 3.56 and 3.40 respectively. A positive correlation was observed between perception and nursing performance. Burnout was negatively correlated with perception and nursing performance, and positively correlated with job stress. CONCLUSION These results indicate that developing positive perception and reduced burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation can produce good nursing performance. These findings can be utilized to develop strategies for reducing job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
In this study, we examined the differences and relationship between teaching style of preceptors, and personality, nursing performance, and organizational socialization of new nurses. METHODS The participants were 118 new nurses. The data collected from March to May 2011 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS Teaching style of preceptors was most frequently judgement-initiative, and personality of new nurses was most frequently extraversion. Nursing performance (3.05+/-.59) and organizational socialization (3.05+/-.59) of new nurses were at an average level. Nursing performance and organizational socialization of new nurses were not significantly different according to teaching style of preceptors. Significant correlations were found between personality and nursing performance, and between personality and organizational socialization. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that changes in perceived teaching style of preceptors and personality of new nurses may be necessary to increase efficiency of preceptorship related to nursing performance and organizational socialization of new nurses. The above-mentioned results should be reflected in the development of effective preceptor training programs. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
In this study, differences and relationship between teaching style, personality, job stress, and job satisfaction among preceptors were examined. METHODS The participants were 121 preceptors. Data were collected in November and December 2010 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS The most frequent teaching style was judgement-initiative, and personality scores were highest for conscientiousness. Job stress was average (3.05+/-.59), and job satisfaction was below the mid-point level (2.76+/-.39). Job stress and job satisfaction were significantly different according to teaching style. Significant correlations were found between personality and job stress, and personality and job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that changes in perceived teaching style, and personality may be necessary to decrease job stress, and to promote job satisfaction among preceptors. The results of this study should be considered in the development of effective preceptor training programs. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
In this study, the relationship between self-leadership, stress, and satisfaction among nursing students in clinical practice was examined. METHOD The participants were 273 nursing students. Data collected from September to December 2010 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS The mean scores for self-leadership (3.72+/-.41), stress (3.45+/-.59), and satisfaction (3.11+/-.38) in clinical practice were above average. Self-leadership was significantly different according to year, interpersonal relationships, and satisfaction with nursing as a major. Stress in clinical practice was significantly different according to gender, year, and health status. Satisfaction in clinical practice was significantly different according to year, interpersonal relationships, and satisfaction with nursing as a major. Significant correlations were found between self-leadership and satisfaction in clinical practice, and stress and satisfaction in clinical practice. Year, self-leadership, interpersonal relationships, and stress in clinical practice were factors influencing satisfaction in clinical practice (20.0%). CONCLUSION These findings indicate that there is a need to improve self-leadership, and to lessen stress in clinical practice to improve nursing students' satisfaction with clinical practice. The above-mentioned results should be reflected in the development of effective teaching methods for clinical practice. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
