Purpose
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing nurses’ perceptions of the disclosure of patient safety incidents in tertiary hospitals. Methods As a descriptive study, data were collected from 315 nurses working in two tertiary hospitals in Busan via structured self-report questionnaires from June 28 to September 3, 2023, through an online survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 27.0. Results Analysis was conducted by controlling for the characteristics of the study participants, which revealed significant differences in their perceptions of the disclosure of patient safety incidents. Ethical nursing competence (β=.30, p<.001) and patient safety culture (β=.15, p=.012) were significant influencing factors on the perception of such disclosure, and the explanatory power of the regression model was 21.0% (F=14.63, p<.001). Conclusion To enhance the aforementioned perception among nurses in tertiary hospitals, healthcare institutions should provide learning opportunities to improve their ethical nursing competence. Fostering an organizational culture that promotes and encourages open disclosure of patient safety incidents is also essential. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
Purpose
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction among nurses working in integrated nursing care wards. Methods The study participants were 196 nurses working in integrated nursing care wards at four general hospitals and one tertiary hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from April 11 to 25, 2022, through an online survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results The factors influencing job satisfaction of participants were team structure (β=.32, p<.001), role conflict regarding nursing practice (β=-.24, p<.001), mutual support (β=.23, p<.001), master's degree or higher(β=.16, p=.004), and spousal presence (β=.15, p=.005). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that the tasks and roles of team members should be clarified, and a supportive team culture of mutual cooperation should be fostered to improve the job satisfaction of nurses working in the integrated nursing ward. In addition, it is necessary to reduce role conflict by providing support focused on allocating tasks that can strengthen the role of professional nurses.

Purpose
This study was done using quantile regression to identify the factors affecting nurses’ turnover intention. Methods: A sample of 163 nurses, who had worked in hospitals for more than 6 months, was recruited from two online nursing communities. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires, which included turnover intention, workplace bullying, empowerment, and sociodemographic and job characteristics. Collected data were analyzed using ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation coefficients, and quantile regression. Results: The factors affecting turnover intentions by quantile were partially different, but the predicting factors over 50% quantile were workplace bullying (Q50, b=0.15, p=.002; Q75, b=0.10, p=.025; Q90, b=0.12, p=.012), structural empowerment (Q50, b=-0.64, p<.001; Q75, b=-0.55, p=.005) and experience in current unit (Q75, b=-0.04, p=.013; Q90: b=-0.05, p=.002). Conclusion: Different factors have an influence on nurses’ turnover intention level. Nursing organizations need to develop customized management strategies to address nurses' turnover intention levels based on policies that reduce workplace bullying and strengthen structural empowerment.
