Purpose
This study was explored the current nursing issues in the COVID-19 era by analyzing newspaper articles. Methods: The search term “nurse” was used to collect newspaper articles from 2020. Pre-processing and semantic network analysis and topic group clustering were conducted using the NetMiner program to analyze the collected articles. Results: A total of 256 articles were identified, and four topics were extracted. The core keywords were “medical care”, “hospital”, “COVID-19” and “medical workforce”. The extracted topics were “work environment related to response to infectious diseases”, “utilization of nursing resources”, “excessive nursing work”, and “shortage of nursing workforce”. Conclusion: Our findings provide useful information for understanding social perspectives of critical nursing issues in the COVID-19 era. Most of the extracted topics are the actual problems that nurses have faced for a long time. Now, nurses must proactively address current nursing issues to respond to national disasters and provide quality nursing care. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between job characteristics, organizational culture, job satisfaction and turnover intention, including the direct and indirect effects of the variables on turnover intention. METHODS A questionnaire was completed by a convenience sample of 144 nurses working for two public institutions. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, Hierarchical multiple regression and Path analysis with SPSS/WIN 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. RESULTS The mean score for job satisfaction and turnover intention was similar to that of other hospital nurses. The factors affecting job satisfaction were: position, number of job changes, relationship-oriented culture, and hierarchical-oriented culture(Adj. R2=.48, F=14.43, p<.001). The factors affecting turnover intention were: age, position, overtime, and job satisfaction(Adj. R2=.61, F=19.48, p<.001). Job autonomy and relationship-oriented culture had a significant indirect effect on turnover intention. CONCLUSION In developing intervention strategies to improve job satisfaction and reduce turnover intention there is a need to consider both the job characteristics and organizational culture of nurses in public institutions.
