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.

Purpose The aim of this study is to identify and understand the meaning and essence of the working difficulties experienced by physician assistants. Methods This qualitative study used focus group interviews and conventional content analysis. Participants included physician assistants with over 1 year of experience working in general hospitals. Fifteen people formed four focus groups with three to four people in each group. Results Six categories of difficulties faced by physician assistants were derived from the results. These were: the "lack of an education system", "unclear professional duties", "shortage of substitute workforce", "conflict with the nursing department", "dual management structure", and "unstable roles and uncertain futures". Participants experienced difficulties in their jobs because the systematic educational system was inadequate, and due to there was uncertainty regarding the scope and extent of their work. As professional nursing staff, they experienced hindrances in their development and increased anxiety owing to their uncertain futures. Conclusion To overcome the difficulties faced by physician assistants in their work, it is necessary to legally recognize and clarify their roles as well as to establish a systematic education system.

PURPOSE Purposes of this study were to identify non-value-added nursing activities (NVANAs) and to estimate the amount of time spent on NVANAs among total nursing activities. METHODS Non-value-added nursing activities were identified though the use of a focus group. The nurses in the focus group were nurses working in a tertiary hospital. They discussed possible activities that could be NVANAs. Based on the focus group discussion, a pilot study was done to examine the actual occurrence of NVANAs in clinical settings. RESULTS The focus group discussion showed that NVANAs occurred in ten categories of nursing performances including communication with physicians, communication with other departments, medications, equipment/supplies, nursing records, tests, admission, discharge, and transfer. Direct nursing activities accounted for 35.5% of total nursing activities while indirect nursing activities accounted for 64.5%. Of indirect nursing activities, 16% were NVANAs. Most NVANAs were related to communication and equipment/supplies. CONCLUSIONS To improve the quality and efficiency of nursing activities, it is necessary to identify NVANAs and their causes. Results of this study suggest that improvement in the work process and nursing unit structure, support for equipment/supplies, and effective communication are needed to reduce NVANAs in tertiary hospitals in Korea.

PURPOSE This study was a methodological research conducted to develop a clinical ladder system for operating nurses. METHODS Participants were 20 OR nurses, working in C Hospital, who had a mean tenure of 6 years and 10 months. Data collection consisted of 4 focus group interviews during May and June 2009. The content analysis method of Kim and Lee (1986) was used to analyze the data. Two clinical expert groups consisting of 16 nurses verified the content validity of the preliminary system from September 16 to 26, 2009 using Kim's tool (1999). RESULTS The final clinical ladder system consisted of goals, core values, and 4 domains of practice related to core values, which were defined as professional value, perioperative nursing practice, education/research, and collaboration/leadership. Eleven nursing competencies and 44 behavior indicators were included in accordance with the 4-step ladder. The 4 operation systems for the clinical ladder system were the promotion system, continuous learning system, reward system, and support system. CONCLUSION The results indicate that nursing managers need to pay more attention to developing a clinical ladder system for nurses.
