Purpose This qualitative study explored nurses' experiences in selecting hospitals within a dual labor market framework. Methods Focus group interviews were conducted with 18 general nurses, divided into three groups of six, each representing both large and medium-sized hospitals. Results The analysis revealed two themes, four categories, and nine subcategories, highlighting differences between large and medium-sized hospitals. Nurses who choose large hospitals prioritized "professional development" but faced "struggles to maintain professional identity" while those selecting medium-sized hospitals sought "stability and accessibility" but experienced "crisis of professional identity." Conclusion: This study highlights significant differences in the factors influencing nurses' hospital choices based on hospital size. These findings provide foundational data for establishing the Enforcement Decree and Rules of the Nursing Act, emphasizing the importance of developing legal measures to strengthen nurses' professional identity and promote a balanced and sustainable nursing labor market.
Purpose This study aimed to analyze the differences in medical care use and patient outcomes between patient groups in the general ward (GW) and integrated nursing care ward (INCW). Methods Among all patients admitted from January 1 to December 31, 2020, 430 patients (total 860) were selected in the GW and INCW using propensity score matching. The differences in the two groups were analyzed using t-test and x 2 test. Multiple and logistic regression were used to investigate the effect of admission to the INCW or GW on medical use and patient outcomes. Results The total medical expenses, urinary tract infection rate, and pneumonia rate of the two groups did not show significant differences; however, the length of stay for the INCW group was approximately 3 days longer and unplanned readmissions were 5.4% lower for the INCW group than that for the GW group. Multiple and logistic regression analysis showed similar results. Conclusion Patients in the INCW group had longer hospitalization days and lower rates of unplanned readmission than those in GW group. Additional studies related to longer hospital stays are needed, and measures should be taken to prevent social hospitalization.
Purpose This study examined nursing students' experiences of using digital healthcare applications in terms of the source and demand of socio-psychological needs, expectations, exposures, use satisfaction, and derivative effects based on the components of use satisfaction theory. Methods This study was conducted using focus group interviews, and data were collected from 12 nursing students enrolled in two universities located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from April 1 to May 31, 2023. Results The nursing students mainly used digital healthcare applications to address needs such as sleep, exercise, goal setting, social support, and motivation, which included the need for physical well-being, growth and development, emotional stability, and social needs. Participants met various needs such as achieving goals, feeling of achievement, enhancing self-confidence, and acquiring helpful information through digital healthcare applications. The satisfaction gained in setting and achieving goals was the driving force for motivation. Conclusion Nursing students value intuitive interfaces, personalized features, and appropriate notifications. Step-by-step rewards and reasonable pricing are also vital for using digital healthcare apps.
These findings should be incorporated into developing programs to improve nursing students' health management and digital healthcare skills.
Purpose Nursing care activities for patient safety are important to prevent accidents. This study aimed to examine the association between nurses’ perception of patient safety culture, willingness to report near misses, critical thinking disposition, and nursing care activities for patient safety. Methods In this cross-sectional study, data were obtained from online surveys conducted with 201 ward nurses. An independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient test, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed using IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results Perceptions of patient safety culture, willingness to report near misses, critical thinking disposition, and nursing activities for patient safety were all correlated with each other. According to the regression model, significant factors influencing nursing care activities for patient safety were medical ward (β=-.28, p=.010), critical thinking disposition (β=.27, p<.001), willingness to report near misses (β=.19, p=.004), perceptions of patient safety culture (β=.19, p=.007), and work experience (β=-.18, p=.016). Conclusion Improving nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture, promoting the reporting of near misses, and strengthening nurses' critical thinking dispositions can foster patient-safety nursing care activities. Additionally, a tailored patient safety education program that considers nursing work experience may be appropriate for patient-safety nursing care activities.
Purpose This study aimed to examine the influence of nursing organizational culture, nursing workplace spirituality, and nurses’ perceived health status on quality of nursing work life according to nursing clinical ladder at a tertiary hospital. Methods Participants were nurses working at a tertiary hospital in D city, and a total of 352 participants were recruited according to four stages of clinical experience: novice stage (below 1 year), advanced beginner stage (2~3 years), competent stage (4~6 years), and proficiency stage (above 7 years). Data were collected from February 7-February 16, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test, and Multiple regression. Results There was statistically significant correlation between innovation-oriented nursing organizational culture, nursing workplace spirituality, nurses’ perceived health status and quality of nursing work life. In all clinical ladder stages, nursing work spirituality and nurses’ perceived health status were factors influencing the quality of nursing work life; innovation-oriented nursing organizational culture was an influencing factor in the novice, advanced beginner, and competent stage, but not the proficient stage. Conclusion To improve the quality of nursing work life, it is necessary to develop and apply practical programs that reflect nurses’ characteristics at each clinical ladder stage.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Job Competency Scale (JCS) for insurance review nurses working in hospitals. Methods The initial items were generated through a literature review and interviews with 10 experts. The content validity of the items was evaluated through content validity and face validity tests. Data from 301 insurance review nurses working in hospitals were analyzed using item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and convergent validity; reliability was tested using Cronbach’s ⍺. Results The final JCS consisted of 25 items and five factors (knowledge integration, professional ethics, communication and interpersonal relationship, information literacy and problem solving, self-development) that explained 72.4% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the theoretical model comprising 25 items satisfied all goodness-of-fit parameters. Convergent validity was confirmed by the Task Performance Scale for insurance review nurses (r=.53, p<.001). The total Cronbach’s ⍺ score for scale was .94. Conclusion The JCS was found to be a reliable and valid instrument that can be used to measure the job competency of insurance review nurses working in hospitals.
Purpose Based on a literature review of artificial intelligence (AI) applications within nursing tasks, this study delves into the feasibility of employing AI to improve nursing practice in Korea. Methods We used "nursing" and "artificial intelligence" as keywords to search academic databases, resulting in 96 relevant studies from an initial pool of 940.
After a detailed review, 35 studies were selected for analysis based on nursing process stages. Results AI improves nursing assessment by enhancing pain diagnosis, fall detection, and movement monitoring in older adults. It aids nursing diagnosis through clinical decision support, risk prediction, and emergency patient triage. Further, it expedites the creation of precise plans utilizing predictive models in nursing planning. AI also forecasts medication errors and reduces the nursing documentation burden for nursing implementation. Additionally, it manages (re)hospitalization risks by assessing patient risk and prognoses in nursing evaluation. Conclusion AI in Korean nursing can enhance assessment and diagnosis accuracy, promote a prevention-focused paradigm through risk prediction, and ease the burden of nursing practice amidst human resource shortages.

Purpose Nursing colleges are continuously being expanded to solve the problem of imbalance among regions, but the outflow of the provincial brain-drain to metropolitan regions continues. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the influencing factors on the regional outflow intention of nursing students. Methods This study employed a mixedmethod design, and 214 nursing students in the Honam region filled out a self-administered questionnaire. Eight participants recruited through random sampling were interviewed in depth. Data were analyzed using a t-test, x2 test and logistic regression. Results Among the total respondents, 161 students (75.2%) had intent to regional outflow. Influencing factors were significantly correlated with employment in tertiary general hospitals (OR=3.32, 95% CI=1.35~8.16), perception of job opportunities in the province (OR=0.52, 95% CI=0.31~0.87), intrinsic job values (OR=2.43, 95% CI=1.14~5.22), and voluntary employment preparation behaviors (OR=2.75, 95% CI=1.05~ 7.19). Through the interviews, themes related to regional outflow intentions were drawn into the following three categories: “recognition of working environment by region”, “aspiration for professional growth”, and “expectation for self-development and rich experience”. Conclusion This study’s results are expected to be used as strategic data for establishing plans for nurturing regional human resources and improving the local nursing workforce in non-metropolitan areas.
Purpose This study aims to identify the factors-along the lines of fatigue, nursing professionalism, and the work environment-that affect the nursing of COVID-19 patients by nurses at a designated COVID-19 hospital in Korea. Methods Data were collected from March 7 to March 31, 2022 via structured questionnaires submitted by 162 nurses, and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results In model 1, the variables among the general characteristics which significantly affect nursing intention are “6 months to less than 1 year of nursing experience for severe COVID-19 patients” (β=.29, p=.001), “having the volition to provide nursing support for future COVID-19 patients” (β=0.28, p<.001), and the “intention according to the hospital situation”(β=.35, p<.001). In model 2, fatigue (β=-.18, p=.007) and nursing professionalism (β=.43, p<.001) affect nursing intention. The total explanatory power of Model 2 is 47.0% (F=16.93, p<.001, R2 =.47). Conclusion To increase nursing intention for COVID-19 patients, intervention strategies should reduce nurses’ fatigue and introduce competency-strengthening programs as to improve nursing professionalism.

Purpose This study aimed to examine the influence of nurses’ general and job-related characteristics, nursing practice environment, and grit on the intent to stay of operating room nurses. Methods This descriptive study focused on 198 operating room nurses employed in university hospitals at Busan metropolitan city and Kyungnam district, with a minimum of six months of experience in the operating room. Data were collected between February 16, 2022 and May 25, 2022, using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results The average of operating room nurses' intent to stay was 5.01, indicating a high intent to stay. Positive correlations were found between grit(r=.58, p<.001) and nursing practice environment(r=.36, p<.001) with intent to stay. Grit(β=.52, p<.001) and nursing practice environment(β=.13, p=.035) significantly influenced the intent to stay and explained 35% of the variance in the intent to stay. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that strengthening nurses’ grit and providing a healthy practice environment may help increase their intent to stay. Developing a grit-enhancing program, especially one that fosters enthusiasm and perseverance toward long-term goals, can improve operating room nurses’ psychological resources and enhance their willingness to stay.

Conclusion: Based on the results, an intervention program that can increase their self-efficacy and reduce parenting stress is needed, considering education level of married nurses and their perceived health status to be developed.
Purpose This study examined outpatients’ experiences of patient participation, their level of patient satisfaction, and the factors that influence their patient satisfaction with outpatient care.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized secondary data from the 2018 Survey on the Experience with Healthcare Service conducted in South Korea. Data from 6,684 outpatients over the age of 20 years who had visited hospitals were analyzed. Patient characteristics, health-related characteristics, and their experiences of patient participation were assessed as factors related to patient satisfaction. Factors that influenced patient satisfaction with outpatient care were identified using logistic regression analysis.
Results: Overall, 84.9% of the participants were satisfied with the received outpatient care. Higher patient satisfaction with outpatient care was significantly associated with middle (40~59 years) and old age (≥60 years), good self-rated health status, and experience of patient participation in patient safety activities.
Conclusion: Multiple factors were related to patient satisfaction with outpatient care. These factors need to be considered when evaluating patients’ satisfaction levels. To improve satisfaction with health care use, it is essential to provide more experiences and expand their opportunities for patient participation during the care process and establish healthcare policies and strategies to enhance patient participation in patient safety.

Purpose This study aimed to estimate the unmet demand for INCS and the number of needed beds for fulfillment.
Methods: Annual data from the Korea Health Panel (2015~2018), Health Insurance Statistical Yearbook (2015~ 2019), and published statistical data (2015~2019) were used. To measure the unmet demand, the utilization of informal nursing care services, which can be a market substitute for INCS, was used. The number of needed beds was calculated by dividing the demand by the bed occupancy rate multiplied by 365 days.
Results: The unmet demand decreased every year and was estimated to be 31~47 million person-day as of 2019. It was the highest in Gyeonggi (6~8 million) and the lowest in Jeju (160~220 thousand), while the fulfilled rate was the highest in Incheon (52~61%) and the lowest in Jeonbuk (6~8%). For each type, general hospitals showed the highest unmet demand (6~10 million), followed by hospitals (5~8 million) and tertiary hospitals (4~7 million). Gyeonggi province (37,212~48,882) and general hospitals (54,955~70,962) were most needed additional INCS beds.
Conclusion: Tailored bed expansion strategies are necessary to satisfy each region's and hospital’s demand. Considering the multi-layered causes of unmet demand, a healthcare system reform that increases the regional self-sufficiency of INCS is required.

Purpose This study aimed to examine the factors influencing the degree of harm caused by fall incidents in hospitals. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study used secondary data from the “Korean Patient Safety Incident Report 2019” and was based on the International Classification for Patient Safety conceptual framework. We analyzed a total of 4,176 fall incidents between January 1 and December 31, 2019, in Korea. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors that influence the degree of harm from these incidents. Results Among the fall incidents, 443 (10.6%) were sentinel events, 2,514 (60.2%) were adverse events, and 1,219 (29.2%) were near misses. The factors associated with sentinel events were old age (≥60 years), gender, patient diagnosis, medical department, early detection after falls, long-term care hospital, and reporters. Adverse events were significantly associated with diagnosis, medical department, nurses’ night shift time, large bed size, location (i.e., operating room, recovery room, and intensive care unit), and reporters. Conclusion Both patient and incident characteristics are significantly associated with the degree of harm in hospitals. Therefore, multiple factors should be considered to establish healthcare policies and thus prevent fall risks and minimize damage following falls in hospitals.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experience of near misses in medication errors.
Methods: Data were collected from April, 3 to October 30, 2019 through in-depth interviews with nine nurses who had worked in hospitals. Data was analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology.
Results: The three themes that emerged from the analysis were: Shameful things to hide, Inevitable matter to happen, and Step to move forward.
Conclusion: The result has shown that nurses' experience of near misses in medication administration has happened not only because of individual matters but also institutional problems. Therefore, to improve the situation and prevent serious medication errors for nurses, both, individual and institutional problems need to be assessed, analyzed and change.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of the near miss by nurses in small-medium hospitals and to identify the factors that affect the near miss.
Methods: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire for small-medium sized hospital nurses who had worked for more than one year. A total of 243 questionnaires were used for analysis. The difference in the characteristics of the nurses according to the near miss experience was analyzed by the x 2 test, and the influence factor of the near miss was analyzed by logistic regression.
Results: Overall, 155 nurses (63.8%) experienced near misses during the previous 1 year. Among those who experienced a near miss, the medication-related error was the highest at 58.3%. As a result of the stepwise logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio over time work of over 3 hours increased near misses 2.48 (95% CI: 1.21~5.08) compared to the group without overtime.
Conclusion: Overtime work seems to be a significant factor in the near miss experience for small-medium hospital nurses.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the frequency of Type D Personality Pattern (TDPP) in shift work nurses who have irregular lifestyles and based on TDPP, to compare health promotion behavior (HPB), subjective health status (SHS), and job satisfaction.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used with data collected from a convenience sample of 139 shift work nurses. The self-report questionnaires included Personality Scale, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, Health Self Rating Scale, and Job Satisfaction Scale.
Results: Fifty three nurses (38.1%) were found to have TDPP. Although there were no significant differences between groups with TDPP and with no TDPP, nurses with TDPP tend to be younger, live alone, and have less years of clinical experience. Also, SHS, HPB and job satisfaction were significantly lower in the nurses with TDPP than those with no TDPP. SHS was positively correlated with HPB and job satisfaction. Also, job satisfaction was positively correlated with HPB.
Conclusion: TDPP in shift work nurses should be considered as TDPP is not a trait but a pattern. Therefore for shift work nurses, modifiable strategies should be effective in reducing the risk of developing TDPP and enhancing the nurses’ SHS, HPB, and job satisfaction.

Purpose This study aimed to examine the prevalence of unmet healthcare needs and the factors that influence unmet healthcare needs among older people with cognitive impairment. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive design with secondary data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans was used in this study. Data from 1,382 people over the age of 65 years with cognitive impairments were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was conducted based on Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use. Results Overall, 9.6% of the participants reported unmet healthcare needs during the previous 12 months. The main reasons for unmet healthcare needs were financial constraints (45.4%), mobility limitation (18.0%), and mildness of symptoms (14.9%). Higher unmet healthcare needs were significantly associated with fewer years of education, no family members providing caregiving or assistance with hospital visits, fewer close relatives, lower income, greater impairment in activities of daily living, and presence of depressive symptoms. Conclusion Our findings indicate that predisposing factors, enabling factors, and need factors were significantly associated with unmet healthcare needs among elderly individuals with cognitive impairment. Therefore, it is necessary to establish healthcare policies and strategies to improve the accessibility of healthcare services.

PURPOSE This study is a descriptive survey to identify emotional labor and job stress recognized in the course of administrative work, and how these affect the professional quality of life of public health nurses according to the employment type. METHODS Data was collected through a survey of public health nurses conducted from Dec. 2018 to Jan. 2019 (N=232). RESULTS The emotional labor of public health nurses was 3.27 out of 5 and full-time public health nurses had the highest scores. The job stress score was moderate at 2.45 out of four. The job stress of full-time nurses was also the highest. Among the sub-divisions of professional quality of life, compassion satisfaction was 3.55 out of five, while secondary traumatic stress was moderate at 2.48 and exhaustion at 3.01. Factors affecting compassion satisfaction were shown to be employment types and exhaustion. Factors affecting secondary traumatic stress were exhaustion, job stress and emotional labor. Factors affecting exhaustion were secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction. CONCLUSION The results of this study shows that full-time public health nurses in charge of nursing organizations at public health centers have extreme difficulty with excessive role responsibilities, resulting in high emotional labor intensity and high job stress.

PURPOSE This study was done to estimate supply and demand for nursing workforce to provide community-based primary healthcare in the North Korean region to cost-efficiently narrow the health gap between the two Koreas in case of a Korean reunification. METHODS To understand the nursing education system and current state of nursing workforce in North Korea, the authors interviewed six North Korean defectors who had worked as nurses in North Korea. Based on the interview results and literature review, the supply and demand for the primary healthcare nursing workforce that would be needed after Korean reunification were estimated RESULTS: Currently, a total of 2,100 to 2,700 North Korean nurses were estimated to have graduated from nursing schools with a 2 year curriculum or completed 6-month military nurse training courses every year. The projected number of nurses in demand to provide primary health care ranged from 84,160 to 105,200 and the shortage would be between 31,586 and 52,626. CONCLUSION An active utilization of the North Korean nursing workforce to improve the health of North Koreans after reunification will be the best way to reduce the reunification cost which will be inflicted mainly on South Korea.

PURPOSE This study was done to analyze the problems and desired work conditions of nursing organizations in small-medium hospitals. METHODS Delphi Technique was used. In the first stage, the work conditions of nurses in small-medium hospitals were identified through a literature review. In the second stage, through 3 consultations with 20 nurse advisory groups, feedback was received on the desired work conditions for nurses in small-medium hospitals. In the third stage, 415 nurses and nurse managers were selected to examine the content validity and importance of the desired work conditions identified in the second stage. RESULTS Sixty-four items were developed along eight domains of desired work conditions for nurses in small-medium hospitals. The survey on the desired work conditions revealed the following in order of importance: ‘wages’, ‘personnel’, ‘job’, ‘work hours’, ‘welfare’, ‘education’, ‘culture’, and and ‘other incentives’. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that small-medium hospitals need to recognize the desired work conditions desired by nurses and accordingly change policies through the efforts of hospitals and professional groups.
