Purpose
This study identified the influence of self-leadership, managers’ authentic leadership, and nurses’ organizational culture relationships on hospital nurses‘organizational silence.
Methods
An explanatory sequential mixed-method study was conducted. For the quantitative portion, 138 nurses from seven hospitals participated. For the qualitative portion, ten nurses with high organizational silence scores were interviewed. Quantitative data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 26.0. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis using NVivo 12.0.
Results
Quantitative results indicated that self-expectations and a relation-oriented culture explained 14.0% of the variance in acquiescent silence. The combined effect of rehearsal, constructive thought, and relational transparency associated with managers’ authentic leadership on prosocial silence was 15.0%. Qualitative results revealed eight primary themes related to organizational silence: 1) being unable to voice my opinion because I feel insignificant, 2) things that middle managers cannot say, 3) earnest managers, 4) receptive managers, 5) indifferent managers, 6) feeling of camaraderie, 7) selective silence based on performance, and 8) mandatory following of directives.
Conclusion
Programs to improve managers’ leadership skills and reduce hospital nurses’ organizational silence should be implemented consistently. Hospitals should strive to foster a positive and equitable organizational culture.

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
This study is qualitative study using phenomenology approach of Colazzi, to identify meaning and essential structure of the hospitalization with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Methods: Experiential data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 patients who had been hospitalized in hospital rehabilitation medical wards. The main question was ‘Could you describe your hospitalization experience with CRPS? Results: Five categories obtained were ‘Experience despair in the swamp of long suffering’, ‘A hospital system that only adherence to treatment procedures’, ‘There are aggravating factors all over the hospital environment’, ‘Finding support to cover the disease’, and ‘Cross the tunnel of pain with the medical staff’. Conclusion: Patients with complex pain syndrome experienced extreme pain and sudden pain even after hospitalization, and were more aggravated due to treatment procedures and regulation systems. It is thought that multidisciplinary team approach nursing intervention is necessary to improve this situation.

Purpose
This study was to identify how a nursing management practicum was operated during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea. Methods: This study surveyed instructors teaching the nursing management practicum with a questionnaire covering five domains and 42 items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results: The practicum was performed mainly by mixed methods (40.8% and 38.5%), in hospitals only (30.8% and 60.4%), online only (19.8% and 1.1%) in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The mixed methods were most frequently used for instructor teaching and conferences (43.9% and 58.3%). and the average teaching time per week was 9.40 and 8.69 hours per week, respectively. Taking charge in one to three core nursing skill items, 87.8% and 90.1% of the respondents each year performed face to face evaluation for the skills. Four to six out of 12 POs were covered by 58.2% and 54.9% of the participants, respectively, in 2020 and 2021. The greatest difficulty under the pandemic was securing students’ hospital assignments. Conclusion: The nursing management practicum needs to adopt various digital technologies, and create new education models including hybrid ones combining both contact and untact methods to improve the educational effect for the post COVID-19 era.

Purpose
This study aimed to elucidate the situational context and describe the factors and attributes pertaining to occupational stress among hospital nurses in Korea. Methods: Secondary data from focus group interviews conducted with 26 hospital nurses were analyzed using the content analysis method. Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s content analysis method. Results: Based on the job demand-resource theory, the contents were divided into two major themes: the “excessive job demands” and the “shortage of job resources”. The first theme was summarized into the following four categories: excessive workload and work intensity, complex and difficult work demands, hazardous work environment, and role- and relationship-related conflicts. The second theme was summarized into the following five categories: inadequate staffing, insufficient education and training, lack of support system, poor monetary compensation, and low internal compensation. Conclusion: The occupational stress factors of Korean hospital nurses can be summarized as excessive job demands and a lack job resources.

Purpose
This study aimed to explore nurses’ experience in caring for COVID-19 patients. Methods: A total of 10 nurses working in a COVID-19 ward of a public hospital in South Korea were recruited using purposeful sampling. Individual telephone interviews were conducted and then transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Two categories of nurses’ experience in caring for COVID-19 patients emerged; “unstable psychological status” and “adaptation and self-esteem”. “Shortage of staff due to the increase in infected people”, “poor environment due to the urgent construction of a COVID-19 ward”, “unstable operating system”, and “excessive demands and verbal abuse from patients” were “obstacles”, while “cooperation and consideration between colleagues” and “interest and support from the manager” were found to be “sources to boost morale” for nurses in caring for COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: This study can be fundamental data for a deeper understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by frontline nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. It is necessary to provide psychological support for nurses and establish a well-structured nursing care system in order to fight a pandemic such as COVID-19.

Purpose
To analyze the changes in nurse staffing grades and to estimate the revenue growth generated by applying government guidelines for improving nurses’ working conditions. Methods: Staffing grades, ranging from grade 1 (highest) to 7 (lowest), for 2018 and 2020 were analyzed for 326 general hospitals (GHs) and 1,419 non-general hospitals (NGHs). The annual revenue growth per nurse generated by changing inpatient nursing care fee schedules and newly introducing night shift nursing fees were estimated. Results: Grade 1 GHs increased from 6.9% in 2018 to 39.6% in 2020, whereas grades 6-7 decreased from 31.8% to 17.6%. NGHs with grades 6-7 decreased from 81.8% to 61.6%. GHs and NGHs with no reported staffing grades decreased from 10.6% to 0% and from 63.2% to 14.8%, respectively. The estimated annual revenue growth per nurse from inpatient nursing care fees resulting from 1-grade improvements in staffing was 1.44~7.26 million Korean won (KRW) and 1.25~9.75 million KRW for GHs and NGHs, respectively, while the results from night shift nursing fees were 2.37~5.54 million KRW and 2.20~5.14 million KRW for GHs and NGHs, respectively. Conclusion: The increased revenues should be utilized to augment nurses’ wages and staffing levels as the guidelines recommend.

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
To analyze the effects of average length of stay (ALOS) on RN staffing. Methods: Public data of patient surveys collected 8 times between 1996 and 2016 were analyzed. The sample included 2,408,669 discharged patients from 2,266 general hospitals. The ALOS for each hospital was computed by dividing the sum of inpatient days by the number of discharges. RN staffing was defined as the number of RNs per 100 inpatients. ALOS was transformed into base-2 logarithmic values for regression analysis. Results: ALOS decreased from 13.3 to 9.6 days. Large hospitals in the capital region had the greatest reduction, from 15.7 to 7.4 days. RN staffing increased from 32.7 to 54.8 RNs per 100 patients. ALOS had an inverse relationship with RN staffing. Controlling for other factors, a 50% reduction in ALOS was associated with increases in RN staffing by 12.18 and 13.72 RNs per 100 inpatients in large hospitals in the capital region and elsewhere, respectively. Conclusion: Hospitals may have to increase staffing to respond to the increased workload resulting from the shortened ALOS. It remains uncertain whether such increases in staffing were sufficient for the increased workload. Changes in ALOS should be taken into account when determining appropriate staffing.

Purpose
To compare actual versus expected nursing hours based on patients’ nursing care needs.
Methods
The nursing care needs of 898 inpatients in 20 wards at 11 hospitals were measured using the 14 items developed by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). Nursing activities from 474 nursing personnel were observed every 10 minutes for 24 hours. Actual hours indicated direct care hours per patient day provided by registered nurses according to 3 types: (1) standard hours based on staffing standards approved by the NHIS, (2) scheduled hours excluding overtime hours, and (3) observed hours including overtime. Expected hours were estimated from the linear mixed effect model including hospital type, nursing care need items and their interaction terms.
Results
Standard hours ranged from 0.92 to 2.15; scheduled hours from 0.88 to 1.95; observed hours from 1.00 to 2.40; expected hours from 0.88 to 2.33. Eight hospitals had standard hours not meeting the expected hours and 2 hospitals did observed hours not meeting the expected hours due to nurses’ overtime. In 3 hospitals, all types of actual hours exceeded the expected hours.
Conclusion
Staffing needs to be determined based on patients’ care needs and to be improved to minimize nurses’ overtime work.

PURPOSE
To determine nurse staffing by classifying patients based on their nursing care needs and to benchmark current staffing against the Safer Nursing Care Tool (SNCT) staffing requirements.
METHODS
Cross-sectional data were collected from four general wards at a tertiary hospital. Nursing activities conducted by 86 registered nurses were observed at 10-minute intervals. The nursing care needs of 780 inpatients were measured with two dimensions: acuity (10 nursing activities) and dependency (four activities of daily living).
RESULTS
Nurses worked for 9.3 hours per shift on average, reflecting overtime work of 1.3 hours per nurse. Nurses spent 37% of their time on direct care, 54% on indirect care, and 9% on associated work. Nursing hours per patient day increased as nursing care needs became higher. Patients were classified into four groups based on their level of nursing care needs. The staffing ratio of groups 1-4 was 1:9.8, 1:8.0, 1:7.0, and 1:4.6, respectively. The current staffing (i.e., nursing hours) was as low as 53% of the SNCT benchmark, resulting in informal caregiving by patients' family or their privately hired attendants.
CONCLUSION
Appropriate and safe staffing is required to meet patients' nursing care needs and to improve the quality of nursing care.

PURPOSE
The present research was done to examine the fundamental significance and structure of conflict experience of nurses in hospital nursing organizations.
METHODS
This qualitative research was conducted by analyzing data collected through in-depth interviews based on Colaizzi's (1978) method of analysis, one of the phenomenological methods of analysis.
RESULTS
Statements from the 12 study participants demonstrate two key topics “accumulation of conflicts” and “manifestation of new conflicts” as well as seven sub-topics including “being forced to comply”, “Lack of respect and consideration”, “unsatisfactory conflict management by the leaders”, “continuous and overwhelming vicious cycle”, “prevalence of self-defensive egotism”, “difficult to accept differences”, and “incapable of responding to the structural changes of nursing workforce”.
CONCLUSION
Resolving the dysfunctional conflicts in hospital nursing organizations requires not only improvement in the organizational culture of individuals and nursing organizations, but also legal and institutional measures in addition to new attempts to integrate education and research findings from relevant fields of studies.

PURPOSE
This study was aimed to explore the work experience of nurses who transitioned from the patient nursing department to administrative departments.
METHODS
The participants were 11 nurses who had worked in departments of human resources, education and training, medical insurance review, information technology, and quality improvement. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews done between December 2017 and July 2018 and were analyzed in terms of Giorgi's phenomenological methodology. The research question was ‘What kind of experience did you have as you transition to a new role from a nurse to a hospital administrative nurse? What are the challenges in carrying out a new role? How do you overcome obstacles and adjust to being a hospital administrative nurse?’ RESULTS: The main essence of the administrative nurses' work adjustment experience is represented by six components; 1) Beginning of a new challenge in conflict, 2) Running into barriers, 3) Struggling to take root, 4) Recognizing changes in the hospital, 5) Gradually adjusting to change, 6) Becoming a proficient hospital administrative nurse.
CONCLUSION
Based on these findings, it is essential to create systems that enable administrative nurses to adjust to their work without confusion, and continuously develop programs to enhance their competence.

  Journal of Korean Critical Care Nursing.2021; 14(3): 99.     CrossRef

PURPOSE
The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate nursing students' experience during nursing management practicum.
METHODS
Data were collected from 10 in-depth interviews. The main question was “Could you describe your experience during the nursing management practicum?” The qualitative data from the field notes and transcriptions of the interviews were analyzed using Colaizzi's method.
RESULTS
The experiential themes of students' experience during a nursing management practicum were ‘differentiate clinical practice which is immersed in the nursing management process’, ‘understand nurse managers’ leadership qualities and influence of communication', ‘understand why the general nurse engages in management tasks on duty’, ‘gain insight into organizational operations from new and diverse perspectives’, ‘engage in nursing practice through abundant interaction’.
CONCLUSION
The results show that the nursing management practicum focuses on the management of nurses and nurse manager, so instruction and guidance by professors and practicing leaders is needed for students to practice these goals, In addition, in the clinical practice field, students should be provided with a practical environment and guidance in accordance with the goal of management practice.

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.

PURPOSE
This study was done to establish a clinical ladder system for nurses in a small and medium-sized hospital in Korea.
METHODS
The study was carried from July, 2016 to May, 2018. Data collection was done in a general hospital with 250 beds located in Gyeonggi Province. The clinical ladder system was developed and operated according to the value system of small and medium-sized hospital. Focus group interviews and a satisfaction survey were conducted for evaluation. Collected quantitative data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program and qualitative data underwent content analysis.
RESULTS
The clinical ladder system is a 5-step ladder that includes 3 domains, 5 nursing competencies and 25 nursing behavioral indicators related to core values of the hospital. The operating system were promotion review system, education system and support/reward system. After conducting a pilot clinical ladder system, satisfaction of nurses was 2.86, out of a possible 4. Nurses who participated in the clinical ladder system experienced improvement in motivation, job performance, self-esteem, professionalism, recognition and were able to develop a goal in their minds.
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that the clinical ladder system can be used as a strategy for professional development for nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify meaning and essential structure of the hospitalization of patients in nursing care integrated service wards of small and medium-size general hospitals.
METHODS
Experiential data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 patients who had been hospitalized in nursing care integrated service wards of medium general hospitals. The main question was ‘Could you describe your hospitalization experience in nursing care integrated service wards of medium general hospitals?’, and collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi's Phenomenological Research Method.
RESULTS
Four categories obtained were ‘Realize the system that is not established yet’, ‘Secure care services which are less of a psychological and financial burden’, ‘Thanks for care providers’, and ‘Confident of the hopeful system to desire to reuse in the future.’ CONCLUSION: Patients in nursing care integrated service wards of small and medium-size general hospitals were satisfied with the reduction of mental and financial burden caused by nursing and were thankful to nursing staff, who put a lot of efforts into nursing. But, at the same time, they were confused and inconvenienced by the services that were not yet completely established. To improve this situation, it is thought that institutional complements including development of a service standardization manual would be helpful.

PURPOSE
The study was done to analyze attributes of emotional labor experienced by clinical nurses working in domestic hospitals and to develop tools for measurement.
METHODS
The concept of nurse emotional labor was verified through concept analysis based on Hybrid model. The preliminary Nurse Emotional Labor Scale were examined for content validity, reliability and validity. The scale was verified with 500 nurses working in general hospitals located in Kangwon-do.
RESULTS
Attributes of the nurse emotional labor concept were derived from three types: surface type, internalize type and control behaviors and identified as having six constitutive factors: conscious surface behaviors, casual behaviors, empathy effort, repress, solve and endure. The results of the construct validity test of the tool showed 8 factors. The Nurse Emotional Labor Measurement Tool had a significant correlation (r=.35, p < .001) with the Scale of Morris & Felman in result of criterion-related validity. And the internal consistency reliability Cronbach's α coefficient was .93.
CONCLUSION
The development process showed that to accurately describe emotional labor of nurses, it is necessary to consider not only quantitative aspects but also qualitative aspects and content aspects.

PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with new graduate nurses' choices of local hospitals.
METHODS
Participants were 526 new graduate nurses from one of five universities located in Busan, Ulsan or Gyeongnam. The new graduates completed a self-report questionnaire survey during February and March, 2016. The questionnaire included questions about choices of local hospitals, satisfaction with nursing major, nursing professionalism and anticipated nursing practice environment. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the new graduate nurses' choices of local hospitals.
RESULTS
Of the participants, 86.3% had their first jobs in their nursing school region (local hospitals). The choice of local hospitals among new graduate nurses was related to region of origin, type of nursing school, grade point average, and anticipated nursing practice environment.
CONCLUSION
Local hospitals need to enhance the nurse practice environment and provide institutional benefits to new graduate nurses who choose local hospitals. For quality nursing care, reducing the geographical gap and improving policy is necessary.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate nursing students' experience of incivility during clinical practice.
METHODS
Data were collected from 11 in-depth interviews. The main question was “Could you describe your experience of incivility during clinical practice?” The qualitative data from the field notes and transcriptions of the interviews were analyzed using Colaizzi's method.
RESULTS
The experiential themes of incivility to nursing students during clinical practice were ‘exposure to verbal abuse’, ‘receiving unjust reproaches’, ‘treated as an insignificant person’, ‘excluded from nursing as a bothersome person’, and imidated in an unfamiliar atmosphere'.
CONCLUSION
Nursing students experienced incivility in many ways and from a variety of sources, such as nursing staff, patients, patients' families, and other employees during clinical practice as part of the 3rd and 4th year curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a safer environment for clinical practice. Also finding solutions to these incivility problems should lead to improvement in students' clinical practice.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of turnover intention among nurses working in small and medium-sized hospitals in South Korea.
METHODS
Data were obtained from a survey conducted in 2016 on welfare policy and system improvement. The participants were nurses of the Korean Nurses Association who worked in small and medium-sized hospitals. The responses of 2,011 nurses were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, which was performed to explore the predictors of nurses' turnover intentions.
RESULTS
The findings of this study showed that the predictors significantly reducing nurses' desire to leave their hospitals were a 40-hour workweek, satisfaction with the salary, and six out of the 40 fringe benefits provided by their hospitals: the provision of uniforms and work shoes, paid menstrual leave, operational costs for the department, job-related educational costs, and in-house nurse training program.
CONCLUSION
These findings suggest that hospitals should provide proper work hours and reasonable rewards for nurses' work in order to reduce turnover intention among their nurses.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to examine the adaptation experience of male nurses working in general wards.
METHODS
Experiential data was collected from 16 general ward nurses through in-depth interviews. Participants were selected from male nurses working in the general wards with over one year of clinical experience at a tertiary university hospital. The main question was “Can you describe your adaptation experience in the general ward as a nurse?” All interviews were recorded and transcribed, then analyzed using Colaizzi's method.
RESULTS
Four categories were derived from the analysis: ‘difficulties from task adaptation by characteristics’, ‘limited nursing situation and circumstance as a male nurse’, ‘efforts to adapt at general nursing unit’, and ‘self-worth, and worry about something as a male nurse’.
CONCLUSION
Male nurses had a difficulty adapting to work in wards due to lack of multi-tasking skills, as well as some social prejudice or negative views on male nurses. Establishing reasonable guidelines for male nurses in practice, promoting their responsibilities to patients, developing mentoring programs, and reassessing the policy of assigning male nurses to general wards are recommended to help in better adaptation.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to compare perception of patient safety culture and safety care activities between university hospital nurses (group A) and small hospital nurses (group B).
METHODS
Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 246 university hospital nurses and 223 small hospital nurses working in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province. Descriptive statistics, x 2-test, ANCOVA, t-test, ANOVA with the SPSS package were used for data analysis.
RESULTS
Total score for perception of patient safety culture and 3 subcategories of perception of patient safety culture were statistically significantly higher for group B compared to group A. Operation room nursing, falls, and bed sore scores in patient safety care activities were statistically significantly higher for group A than for group B.
CONCLUSION
The study findings suggest that the specific characteristics by size should be considered when developing effective patient safety culture in hospitals.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' experience of workplace incivility from coworkers, supervisors, patients or patients' families, and doctors. The researcher identified the relationships among empowerment, burnout, and organizational commitment of hospital nurses.
METHODS
The sample included 415 hospital nurses. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS.
RESULTS
The average incivility score was 2.94 from doctors and 2.89 from patients or patients' families, higher than from supervisors (1.90) and coworkers (1.87). The variables affecting burnout included direct effect of empowerment (beta=-.46, p<.001), direct effect of patients or patients' family incivility (beta=.14, p<.001), direct effect of supervisor incivility (beta=.12, p<.001), and direct effect of doctor incivility (beta=.09, p<.001). The variables affecting organizational commitment were direct effect of burnout (beta=-.58, p<.001), indirect effect of empowerment (beta=-.23, p<.001), indirect effect of patients or patients' family incivility (beta=-.12, p<.001), indirect effect of supervisor incivility (beta=-.10, p<.001), and indirect effect of doctor incivility (beta=-.09, p<.001).
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that incivility affecting nurses results in a high degree of burnout and a low degree of organizational commitment. Therefore, it is necessary to assess incivility cases and to hold workshops designed to curb incivility and establish healthy workplaces.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to investigate and compare the characteristics and relations of nursing practice environment, professionalism and job satisfaction among nurses in general hospitals according to hospital size.
METHODS
The participants included 314 staff and charge nurses who were working in the general medical/surgical nursing units in one large hospital, three medium sized hospitals, and four small hospitals. Data collected through using self-report questionnaire were analyzed using the SPSS and SAS statistical programs.
RESULTS
Nursing practice environment and job satisfaction had significant differences according to hospital size. Both of these scales were highest for medium hospitals and lowest for small hospitals. For all hospital sizes there were positive correlations between each of the variables. Multiple regression analysis showed that both nursing practice environment and job satisfaction were affected by hospital size, but professionalism was not.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicate that nursing practice environment and job satisfaction vary with the size of the hospital. Therefore, further study is necessary to identify the work environment variables of nurses for performance management and to implement appropriate policies.

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.
