Purpose
This study investigated the mediating effects of patient safety management activities on the relationship between nurse-nurse collaboration, nurse-physician collaboration, and nursing performance of clinical nurses.
Methods
Online survey was performed from February 18 to February 28, 2023 using structured questionnaires. The participants were 212 clinical nurses working in tertiary general hospitals in South Korea. The participants completed self-reporting questionnaires, that measured nurse-nurse collaboration, nurse-physician collaboration, nursing performance, and patient safety management activities. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 program, for multiple regression and a simple mediation model, applying the PROCESS macro with a 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval.
Results
Nurses' patient safety management activities had a mediating effect on the relationship between nurse-nurse collaboration and nursing performance (B=0.24, Boot 95% CI=0.16∼0.34). In addition, patient safety management activities showed a mediating effect on the relationship between nurse-physician collaboration and nursing performance (B=0.10, Boot 95% CI=0.07∼0.15).
Conclusion
The levels of nurse-nurse collaboration, nurse-physician collaboration, and patient safety management activities must be considered when developing strategies to improve nurses’ performance in nursing practice settings.

Purpose
This study investigated the effects of job embeddedness and resilience on the relationship between job rotation stress and nursing work performance among clinical nurses. Methods: We conducted a nationwide online survey with 205 nurses employed at advanced general or general hospitals. Data were collected from August 17 to October 5, 2021. We analyzed the data using various descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Welch test, Games-Howell test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple regression, and the PROCESS macro with a 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval. These analyses were conducted using SPSS Windows Software version 23.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro version 3.5.2. Results: Nurses' job embeddedness mediated the relationship between job rotation stress and nursing work performance (B=-0.02, p<.05). Furthermore, their resilience moderated this mediated relationship, also known as moderated mediation, with job embeddedness as the mediating factor (B=-0.02, p<.05). Conclusion: These findings imply that, when devising a strategy to improve the nursing work performance of nurses undergoing job rotation, their resilience levels should be considered. Reducing job rotation stress while concurrently enhancing job embeddedness is essential for enhancing the nursing work performance of nurses with high levels of resilience.

PURPOSE
This study was done to identify trends in leadership-related research by reviewing studies on hospital nurses in South Korea.
METHODS
The research was conducted from April 2 to 14, 2018 and search databases were RISS, KISS, DBpia, KM base, NAL, and NDSL. Search terms were ‘leadership’ and ‘nursing’ in the Korean language, and total 141 papers were selected.
RESULTS
Analysis of the research on leadership showed that 96.4% of research methods were quantitative research, and 60.3% were predictive researches. For study settings, 46.2% were general hospitals, 96.5% were staff nurses. In the study of leadership variables, 60.3% were independent variables and recent leadership was used as a mediating variable (4.3%) and a moderating variable (2.8%). Among the leadership types, self-leadership (31.2%) was the most common, and the main variable related to leadership was job satisfaction (25.8%).
CONCLUSION
These results provide useful data for deriving new research ideas about nursing leadership. Furthermore, this study has significance for providing the evidence for developing new leadership programs and policies in nursing organizations.

PURPOSE
This study was done to identify the effects of nurse-physician collaboration on nursing performance and organizational commitment in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey was used and data were collected from 203 ICU nurses working in two advanced general hospitals and two general hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients and Hierarchical multiple regression with SPSSWIN 23.0 program.
RESULTS
The sub-domains of nursephysician collaboration were as follows: 3.77±0.51 for sharing of patient information, 3.36±0.65 for decision-making process on the cure or care, and 3.20±0.72 for relationship between nurse and physician. Nurse-physician collaboration was significantly positively correlated with nursing performance and organizational commitment. Regression analysis showed that nurse-physician collaboration explained an additional 24.9%p of nursing performance and an additional 13.4%p of organizational commitment. 'Sharing of patient information' and 'Relationship between nurse and physician' were significant predictors of nursing performance. 'Relationship between nurse and physician' was a significant predictor of organizational commitment.
CONCLUSION
These results provide evidence that the collaboration between nurses and physicians should be enhanced in terms of sharing patient information and mutual respect, to improve nursing performance and organizational commitment of ICU nurses.
