Ji Young Lim, Wonjung Noh, Seung Eun Oh, Ok Gum Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):7-16.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.7
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analysis the financial statements of university hospitals and to apply the results to build nursing management strategies.
METHODS
Data on the financial statements of university hospitals were collected each hospital's homepage or internet search from February to June, 2010. Financial statements of 11 hospitals were analyzed using the 4 categories of financial ratio analysis method: liquidity, performant, growth and turnover.
RESULTS
Overall results showed that the financial status the university hospitals were unstable, and many financial indicators did not meet financial standard ratios. Only 8 financial indicators of total 19 indicators satisfied financial standard ratios.
CONCLUSION
The results of financial statements analysis suggest that nurse managers should develop the blue ocean strategy for diversification of nursing services to improve financial ratios of liquidity, performance, and growth. Using a unit-based just-in-time system for effective supply management would help to increase profits and to decrease costs of hospital by improving financial ratios of turnover.

Nurses' Work-family Boundary Management
Miyoung Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):17-27.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.17
PURPOSE
This study was done to explore how nurses manage the boundary for work-family balance.
METHODS
Data were collected through in-depth interviews from February 1 to May 28, 2012. Participants were 13 married nurses with children. The constant comparative method was adapted for data analysis.
RESULTS
In this study, nurses' work-family boundary management had characteristics of integration, maintenance and control, but it was adjusted and modified over time as the order of priorities was rearranged according to changes in internal cognition and family support. Nurses strategically persuaded their families to understand their work and share housework in an effort to integrate work and family, while controlling them by managing working hours and time for themselves.
CONCLUSION
The results of the study indicate that nurses' work has an impact on family life due to heavy workload and insufficient time, however the work-family balance can be successfully maintained with the effective separation of the two areas.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.28
PURPOSE
Human factor is one of the major causes of medication errors. The purpose of this study was to identify nurses' perception and experience of medication errors, examine the relationship of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness (DISC) behavior patterns and medication errors by nurses.
METHODS
A descriptive survey design with a convenience sampling was used. Data collection was done using self-report questionnaires answered by 308 nurses from one university hospital and two general hospitals.
RESULTS
The most frequent DISC behavioral style of nurses was influence style (41.9%), followed by steadiness style (23.7%), conscientiousness style (20.4%), and dominance style (14.0%). Differences in the perception and experience level of medication errors by nurses' behavioral pattern were not statistically significant. However, nurses with conscientiousness style had the lowest scores for in experience of medication errors and the highest scores for perception of medication errors.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study show that identification of the behavior pattern of nurses and application of this education program can prevent medication errors by nurses in hospitals.

Duck Hee Chae, Kyeong Hwa Kang
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):48-62.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.48
PURPOSE
As Korean society has rapidly become multicultural in the last few decades, it is essential for nurses to become culturally competent to provide effective care for ethnically and culturally diverse populations. Considering the advantages of standardized instrument, there is a need to evaluate current cultural competence instruments to assess adaptability to Korean nurses.
METHODS
Using Macdowell's instrument evaluation guideline, a review and evaluation was done of the Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence among Healthcare Professionals (IAPCC) and Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA), which were both developed based on cultural competence theoretical models and have been commonly used in nursing research. Two other Korean instruments were also evaluated.
RESULTS
The instruments reviewed have limitations in reliability and validity, as well as cultural background and development process, for measurement of cultural competence in Korean nurses.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicate that it is necessary to discuss and agree on a definition of what cultural competence is and to develop instruments to measure cultural competence in Korean nurses.

Wonsup Cho, Myoungsoon You
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):63-75.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.63
PURPOSE
The goal of this study was to identify the current status of research on job stress conducted in Korea and to suggest directions for future nursing research.
METHODS
A total of 395 articles (76 nursing science, 100 health science, 219 social science) selected from 'Korean Research Foundation Registered Journals' were reviewed. The papers were classified by criteria, focusing on research frameworks, topics and methodologies.
RESULTS
There has been a rapid increase in the number of articles since the 1990s. However, the following issues were discovered: lack of theoretical frameworks about factors related to job stress, a paucity of attention to sophisticated methodologies including the development of strong measurement tools, and incoherence among the level of theory, level of measurement, and/or level of statistical analysis.
CONCLUSION
Based on the key findings of this study the following are proposed: increased efforts to develop theoretical framework to guide empirical investigations, improvements in methodological rigor, research conduct with various job groups with different approaches such as qualitative or experimental research, and encouragement for interdisciplinary approaches to the study on job stress.

Ae Ri Na Nam, Woo Hyun Bae, Mi Mi Park, Eun Jeong Ko, Byung Nam Park, Jeong Ok Park, Ji Yeoung Yim
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):87-94.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.87
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for non-humidified low flow oxygen by nasal cannula and to provide a guide for consistent care in nursing practice.
METHODS
A methodological study on the development of guidelines with experts' opinions on collected items, framing PICO questions, evaluating and synthesizing texts which were searched with the key words (low flow oxygen, nasal cannula, humidification of oxygen, guideline) from web search engines.
RESULTS
Of the 45 researched texts on the web, 9 texts relevant to the theme were synthesized and evaluated. All patients with humidified or non-humidified oxygen therapy reported that they had no discomfort.
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that there are no tangible grounds for patients' perceived differences between the humidified and non-humidified oxygen under 4L/min supplied by nasal cannula. with oxygen. Therefore, non-humidification oxygen therapy is strongly advised when suppling under 4L/min oxygen by nasal cannula (recommended grade A).

J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):95-107.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.95
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Action Research (AR) approach in nursing.
METHODS
Participants were 64 perioperative nurses recruited from C hospital in Gwangju, Korea. The nurses were engaged in the project through 2 cycles of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. A mixed-methods design was used to examine changes in participants and their knowledge management practice. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program and qualitative reflection data underwent content analysis.
RESULTS
During the project, participants developed standardized pre-operative checklists and opened an Internet Cafe to better manage their perioperative nursing information. At the end of the project, there was a significant increase in nurses' knowledge management (p=.015) and the rate of surgical material prescription errors decreased from 8.0% to 2.9%. Core AR project team members' teamwork skills and organizational commitment increased significantly (p=.040, p=.301, respectively). The main themes that emerged from the qualitative data were learning how to solve problems in practice, facilitating team activities through motivation, barriers of large participation, and rewarded efforts and inflated expectations.
CONCLUSION
The AR project contributed to empowering participants to solve local problems. AR is a useful methodology to promote changes in practices and research participants.

PURPOSE
To analyze trends in salaries for registered nurses when compared with salaries for elementary school teachers from 2002 to 2009 and identify salary gaps of nurses according to workplace size and geographic location.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the Occupational Employment Statistics collected by the Korea Employment Information Services each year from 2002 to 2009. The study sample consisted of 2,281 registered nurses and 2,578 elementary school teachers. Linear multiple regression analyses were conducted to analyze salary trends and differences.
RESULTS
Elementary school teachers had higher monthly salaries than nurses with a baccalaureate degree after adjusting for years of work. Salary differences increased significantly by 40,000 won every year (p<.001). Nurses working in large facilities in Seoul had the highest salaries, whereas those in small/medium, non-Seoul facilities had the lowest salaries consistently over time. Salary differences between the two groups increased by 47,000 won every year (p=.001); salary differences between nurses in large, non-Seoul facilities and those in small/medium, non-Seoul facilities also increased by 40,000 won annually (p=.001).
CONCLUSION
Geographical imbalances in the nurse workforce and nurse shortages in small/medium, non-capital facilities could be reduced by increasing the salary of nurses working in those facilities.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.118
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify experiences of incidents and to explore the perceptions of Patient Safety Culture between two groups using nursing homes in Korea; employees and patients and their families.
METHODS
In 2010 in-depth interviews were used to collect data from 56 participants (38 employees, and 18 patients and family members). The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis.
RESULTS
The analysis scheme resulting from employees' data consisted of 7 categories and 22 subcategories, after 216 significant statements were analyzed and categorized. The 7 categories were education and training (24.5%), working attitude (23.6%), organizational system (19.0%), job satisfaction (18.5%), institutional environment (6.5%), manager leadership (4.2%), and work climate (4.7%). The analysis scheme resulting from patient and family data consisted of 6 categories and 7 subcategories after 24 significant statements were analyzed and categorized. Education and training among categories of employees were excluded.
CONCLUSION
These findings indicate that an evaluation tool for patient safety culture should be developed for nursing homes in Korea.

Eui Jung Park, Young Hae Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):128-137.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.128
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to generate a grounded substantive theory for the practice adaptation process of hemodialysis unit nurses.
METHODS
Participants in this study were 10 nurses working in one of two hemodialysis units. Data were collected through tape recorded in-depth interviews done between December, 2011 and February, 2012. Data were analyzed using grounded theory methodology.
RESULTS
From the participants' statements, 43 concepts, 18 subcategories and 10 categories were extracted through the open cording process. The 10 categories were: "Burden", "Role conflict", "Fearful", "Conflict of emotion", "Lack systematic job training", "Lack support system", "Compassion", "Rapport created", "Sense of duty", and "Growth." The core category was discovered to be 'recognized growth'. Phenomenon was identified as 'burnout' and this series of processes was categorized as having three stages: 'conflict', 'acceptance', 'growth'.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study provide useful information about the needs of Hemodialysis Unit Nurses during the practice adaptation process based on their stages and types of practice adaptation. Finally, this study contributes data for the development of intervention programs that support the Hemodialysis Unit Nurses' practice adaptation.

Existential Phenomenology and the Practice of Caring
Byung Hye Kong
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):138-145.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.138
PURPOSE
This study was done to provide fundamental ontological understanding of caring and inquiring into the possibility of a caring practice in nursing based on existential phenomenology.
METHODS
According to Heidegger's existential phenomenology, caring has been interpreted as a fundamental ontological basis for caring practice in nursing. Further, based on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, the meaning of the lived experience of illness and the way of caring practice have been described from the aspect of the existential involvement in the embodied life world.
RESULTS
Heidegger's phenomenology provided ontological thinking about caring, which is understood in a basic way as the possibility of human existence and dwelling in oneself in the confrontation of the illness experience. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology offered a meaning of human existence according to bodily intention and situated freedom in the life world. This perspective of embodiment enables nurses to understand bodily experiences of patients and recovery of their bodily capacity in responding to the situation in caring practice.
CONCLUSION
Existential phenomenology gives insight into fundamental reflection for caring attitude and practice in nursing. Existential phenomenological nursing research can provide descriptions and meaning of the lived experience of illness and a way of coping with the crisis of human existence in caring practice.

Kijun Song
J Korean Acad Nurs Adm 2013;19(1):146-154.   Published online January 31, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2013.19.1.146
PURPOSE
To do nursing research effectively requires an understanding of fundamental principles of statistical methods. In this article, some key statistical methods which are commonly used in nursing research are identified and summarized.
METHODS
Ninety-two original articles from the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration were reviewed. Statistical methods were classified and summarized for usage in research and occurrence of common errors.
RESULTS
Among the original articles reviewed, 58 statistical usages contained errors. Most errors were found in linear regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and chi-square test. From the detection of statistical errors in usage, suggestions for appropriate statistical methods were made.
CONCLUSION
In order to improve validity of original articles in the Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration, clearly stated statistical usage and close editorial attention to statistical methods are needed. Understanding statistical methods is part of the process that researchers must use to determine both quality and usefulness of the research. Research findings will be used to guide nursing practice and reduce uncertainty in decision making. However, to understand how to interpret research results, it is important to be able to understand basic statistical concepts. Researchers should also choose statistical methods that match their purposes.
