Purpose
This study investigates the mediating effect of job embeddedness in the relationship between nursing professionalism and turnover intention among clinical nurses. Methods: A nationwide online survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Participants included 204 clinical nurses from tertiary hospitals in South Korea. Data on general characteristics, nursing professionalism, job embeddedness, and turnover intention were collected through self-reported questionnaires from March 19 to March 22, 2024. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression analysis, and bootstrapping, using SPSS/WIN version 29.0 and the SPSS PROCESS macro 4.2 version programs. Results: The mean score of nursing professionalism was 3.48±0.45 out of 5, job embeddedness was 3.13±0.52 out of 5, and turnover intention was 2.80±1.00 out of 5. Nursing professionalism did not directly impact turnover intention (B=-0.07, p=.649). Job embeddedness acted as a mediating factor in the relationship between nursing professionalism and turnover intention (B=-0.46, p<.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that increasing job embeddedness can reduce nurses' turnover intention. Therefore, to decrease nurses' turnover intention, it is essential to enhance nursing professionalism while simultaneously promoting job embeddedness.

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the influence of positive psychological capital, role conflict, and authentic leadership on burnout among nurses working in comprehensive nursing care service wards of general hospitals. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with 208 nurses from four general hospitals. Data were collected using structured questionnaires between September 26, 2024, and October 18, 2024, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: Burnout showed a correlation with role conflict (r=.45, p<.001), positive psychological capital (r=-.62, p<.001) and authentic leadership (r=-.24, p<.001). In the regression analysis, the factors significantly associated with burnout included conflict with patients/guardians (β=.24, p<.001) and conflict regarding nursing practices (β=.22, p<.001), which are subdomains of role conflict. Among the components of positive psychological capital, optimism (β=-.37, p<.001) was identified as a significant protective factor against burnout. However, authentic leadership was not found to be a statistically significant predictor. Conclusion: To effectively manage nurse burnout, it is essential to develop strategic programs that focus on enhancing optimism. Furthermore, establishing clear delegation guidelines between nurses and nursing assistants is recommended.

Purpose
This study explored the lived experiences of physician assistants (PAs) in Korea during the 2024 medical workforce shortage, focusing on how they perceived and adapted to their rapidly changing roles. The study investigated both the challenges PAs faced and the professional growth they experienced throughout the adaptation process. Methods: A phenomenological qualitative design was applied using Colaizzi’s method. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 PAs at a tertiary hospital in Seoul between September 25, 2024 and February 1, 2025. Data were analyzed thematically. Results: Four major theme clusters emerged: changes in work environment and quality of life, role conflict and ambiguity in professional identity, dual aspects of role expansion including autonomy and burnout, and coping strategies and structural policy demands. Participants reported physical and emotional strain, but also described greater involvement in care decisions, improved patient relationships, and a stronger sense of professional identity. Conclusion: Amid the medical staffing crisis, PAs adapted to their expanded responsibilities and became key healthcare providers. While facing substantial burdens, they simultaneously experienced personal and professional growth. Institutional and legal support is essential to stabilize their roles and improve long-term healthcare outcomes.

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the effects of job characteristics and professional self-concept on competency in forensic nursing among operating room nurses at university hospitals. Methods: Data were collected from 164 operating room nurses employed at university hospitals. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS 23.0, using the mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé post-hoc test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Professional self-concept showed a statistically significant positive correlation with forensic nursing competency (r=.60, p<.001). The following factors significantly influenced forensic nursing competency among operating room nurses: professional self-concept (β=.69, p<.001), total career lengths of <5 years (β=.21, p=.006) and 5-9 years (β=.20, p=.011), and job characteristics (β=.19, p=.007). A three-step regression model was statistically significant (F=29.74, p<.001) and the total explanatory power of the regression model was 41.4%. Conclusion: This study identified that professional self-concept, total career years, and job characteristics as the most significant factors influencing operating room nurses' forensic nursing competency. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop educational programs to improve professional self-concept and job characteristics.

Purpose
The study aims to confirm the mediating effect of nursing professional pride in the relationship between nursing practice environment, nursing performance, and retention intention.

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 examined the impact of professional Quality of life (QoL) on turnover intention among general hospital nurses using linear and nonlinear analytical techniques.
Methods
Data were collected from 159 general hospital nurses and analyzed using SPSS, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression, and nonlinear machine learning models (Bootstrap Forest and Boosted Tree).
Results
Significant correlations were observed between turnover intention and both compassion satisfaction (r=-.26, p<.001) and burnout (r=.27, p=.001). Compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue were identified as the key variables influencing turnover intention. The explanatory power of multiple linear regression analysis was 6.9%, whereas the nonlinear machine learning models demonstrated an explanatory power of 50.5% for Bootstrap Forest and 45.1% for Boosted Tree.
Conclusion
Continuous investment in human resource management, within nursing organizations, is essential to promote the long-term retention of general hospital nurses. This investment should focus on enhancing compassion satisfaction and reducing burnout and compassion fatigue by fostering a sense of vocation and positive job satisfaction.

Purpose
This study aimed to analyze how professional nursing intuition is acquired and develop a corresponding theory.
Methods
This qualitative study used the grounded theory method proposed by Strauss and Corbin (1998).
Results
Through axial coding, conflict was identified as the causal condition directly leading to the establishment of ‘me’ as a professional nurse, the central phenomenon. Personal competence, educational needs, and work environment were revealed as the contextual conditions. Social recognition, autonomy, and professionalism were the mediating conditions. The actions and interactions were divided into indifference-realistic and compromise-selfdirected. Dissatisfaction-mechanical, ambivalence -technical, and self-actualization-qualitative and independent nursing were derived. Through selective coding, the core category was derived as ‘becoming a nurse is desirable for myself and others.’ Conclusion: To meet the contemporary need for nurses with professional intuition. It was confirmed that nurses must demonstrate self-will and make continuous efforts to establish ‘me’ as professional nurses. To motivate nurses to acquire professional intuition, measures for social and institutional improvement should be developed to enhance the nursing education curriculum, work environment, autonomy, and professionalism.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine the mediating role of nursing professionalism in the relationship between critical thinking disposition and medication safety competency among peri-anesthesia nurses.
Methods
Data were collected from 128 peri-anesthesia nurses with at least six months of experience in recovery-related departments across medical institutions nationwide. The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 24.0, including descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, stepwise multiple regression, and the SPSS Process Macro.
Results
Medication safety competency showed a significant positive correlation with critical thinking disposition (r=.79, p<.001) and nursing professionalism (r=.80, p<.001). Similarly, critical thinking disposition was positively correlated with nursing professionalism (r=.78, p<.001). Nursing professionalism was identified as a partial mediator in the relationship between critical thinking disposition and medication safety competency, with a 95% confidence interval of .11 to .63.
Conclusion
Critical thinking disposition significantly enhances medication safety competency, with nursing professionalism serving as a partial mediator. These findings underscore the importance of developing targeted educational programs to foster critical thinking skills and nursing professionalism, ultimately improving medication safety competency among peri-anesthesia nurses.

Purpose
This correlation study was designed to understand clinical nurses' political interest, nursing professionalism, and intention to participate in politics, as well as the impact of political interest and nursing professionalism on intention to political participation.
Method
A total of 187 clinical nurses from a general hospital in Seoul were considered for this study. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 24.0, which included descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple regression analysis, and Scheffé’s test.
Results
Political interest (β=.46, p<.001), nursing professionalism (β=.17, p=.007), manager or higher (β=.19, p=.018), and age under 24 years of age (β=.14, p=.038) were all statistically significant predictors of political participation. The explanatory power of these factors was 35.6% (R 2 =.39, Adj. R 2 =.36).
Conclusion
This study revealed the relationship between nursing professionalism and intention to participate in politics, which has not been previously investigated in clinical nurses. This study is significant as it suggests the necessity and direction of future nursing professionalism education programs.

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing nurses’ perceptions of the disclosure of patient safety incidents in tertiary hospitals.
Methods
As a descriptive study, data were collected from 315 nurses working in two tertiary hospitals in Busan via structured self-report questionnaires from June 28 to September 3, 2023, through an online survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 27.0.
Results
Analysis was conducted by controlling for the characteristics of the study participants, which revealed significant differences in their perceptions of the disclosure of patient safety incidents. Ethical nursing competence (β=.30, p<.001) and patient safety culture (β=.15, p=.012) were significant influencing factors on the perception of such disclosure, and the explanatory power of the regression model was 21.0% (F=14.63, p<.001).
Conclusion
To enhance the aforementioned perception among nurses in tertiary hospitals, healthcare institutions should provide learning opportunities to improve their ethical nursing competence. Fostering an organizational culture that promotes and encourages open disclosure of patient safety incidents is also essential.

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 aimed to assess the influence of job embeddedness, professional self-concept, and work-life balance on clinical nurses’ workplace retention intention.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from July 27 to August 2, 2022, involving 296 nurses at a university hospital in Seoul. The questionnaire-based data collected were analyzed using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.
Results
The mean score for intention to stay is 4.92±1.05 out of 8. The mean scores for job embeddedness, professional self-concept, and work-life balance were 2.91±0.48 out of 5, 2.61±0.28 out of 4, and 3.10±0.71 out of 5, respectively. Job embeddedness (β=.17, p=.002) and professional self-concept (β=.42, p<.001) were significantly associated with clinical nurses’ intention to stay in their workplace. Specifically, the “community suitability” subfactor of job embeddedness (β=.16, p=.003) and the “satisfaction” subfactor of professional self-concept (β=.58, p<.001) were significantly related to nurses’ intention to stay. No significant relationship was found between work-life balance and intention to stay.
Conclusion
Nurses’ job embeddedness and professional self-concept significantly affected their intention to stay. Therefore, fostering community bonding outside the organization and increasing professional satisfaction are suggested to increase clinical nurses’ intentions to stay.

Purpose
The study aimed to classify patient safety accident and nursing malpractice types through a content analysis of litigation cases in which nurses were found guilty.
Methods
Data on malpractice cases were collected from the official website of the Korean judiciary. This analysis was conducted in stages according to the systematic content analysis method. A total of 46 cases consisting of 14 criminal cases and 32 civil cases were selected for analysis, and classified based on the types of safety accident and nursing malpractice.
Results
Eleven categories and 14 subcategories of accidents were extracted from 71 significant statements. The 11 categories of accidents consisted of falls, medication, burns, treatment, diet, medical equipment, delivery, exams, surgery, infection, and suicide. Five categories and 14 subcategories of nursing malpractice were extracted from 71 significant statements. The five categories of malpractice were as follows: failure to take affirmative action to prevent accidents, monitor, follow guidelines, use equipment properly, and reports.
Conclusion
These findings highlight the importance of nurses’ independent roles as patients’ safety managers. It can be used as primary data to develop organizational and educational support for nurses seeking to perform their professional roles in ensuring patient safety.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine the association of job crafting and perception of patient safety culture with patient safety management activities among hospital nurses. Methods: This study used a questionnaire that contained the scales of Job Crafting, Patient Safety Culture, and Patient Safety Management Activities. The participants were 211 nurses from two hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations and simultaneous multiple regression. Results: The mean scores of the variables were as follows: job crafting, 3.42 out of 5; perception of patient safety culture, 3.77 out of 5; and patient safety management activities, 4.30 out of 5. The items ‘using professional autonomy’ of job crafting and ‘patient safety knowledge/attitude’ and ‘teamwork’ of patient safety culture were associated with the patient safety management activities among nurses. Conclusion: Nurses’ patient safety knowledge and attitude of striving for patient safety influenced nurses’ patient safety management activities. To enhance nurses’ patient safety knowledge and attitude, hospitals should develop continuously provide education programs. Nurse managers need to strive for supportive teamwork and encourage adherence to patient safety rules. For nurses’ patient safety management activities, nurse education should highlight nursing as a profession that entails autonomous nursing care, which includes responsibility for patient safety.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of emotional intelligence, and professional self-concept on compassion competence in psychiatric nurses. Methods: Participants were 180 psychiatric nurses working on psychiatric wards in university hospitals and psychiatry specialized hospitals. Data analysis was performed using stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/Win 24.0. Results: Compassion competence significantly differed by age (F=3.31, p=.021), marital status (F=4.12,p=.017), educational background (F=5.46, p=.005), clinical career (F=6.26, p=.002), type of duty (t=-3.01, p=.003), salary (F=3.48, p=.033), current position (F=4.66, p=.011), qualification (t=-2.23, p=.023), compassion education experience (t=3.32, p=.001) and workplace (t=-2.46, p=.015). The compassion competence of psychiatric nurses was positively correlated with professional self-concept (r=.57, p<.001) and emotional intelligence (r=.63, p<.001). The significant predictors of compassion competence were self-emotion appraisal (β=.30, p<.001), professional practice (β=.21, p=.007), use of emotion (β=.19, p=.020), clinical career (β=.18, p=.003), workplace (β=.15, p=.010), communication (β=.12, p=.034) and compassion education experience (β=.11, p=.044). The explanatory power of these factors was 48% of the variance. Conclusion: In order to enhance the compassion competence of psychiatric nurses, it is important to improve emotional intelligence and strengthen professional self-concept. Political efforts of organizations supporting compassionate nursing practice are also necessary.

Purpose
This study aimed to develop an educational informatics system for nursing faculty to improve their competencies in teaching patient safety and to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Methods: We developed a system called, ‘Resource to Enhance Safety Competency and Utilize for Education’ (RESCUE) based on the World Health Organization Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, and it was implemented with full-time nursing faculty in 4-year nursing schools. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used for evaluation. A total of 46 nursing faculty members used the system during a 3-month period. The effects of the RESCUE were measured using a survey including patient safety teaching competency, system usability and user satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: After using the RESCUE, participants showed a significant increase in self-confidence in teaching patient safety during lectures (Z=-3.61, p<.001) and practica (Z=-3.14, p=.002). Conclusion: The developed informatics system was shown to be effective in improving the self-confidence of nursing faculty in teaching patient safety. To effectively integrate patient safety topics into the curriculum, it can be helpful to utilize the educational materials provided in this study with various clinical cases.

Purpose
This study was performed to identify levels of self-leadership, professional self-concept, emotional labor and professional quality of life, and investigate the relationship among these variables in hospital nurses. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. The data were collected from May 20 to June 30, 2019. Participants were 200 nurses working at 4 general hospitals in Korea. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: There was a positive relationship between compassion satisfaction and self-leadership, professional self-concept and emotional labor, and a negative relationship between burnout and the other variables in this study. There were positive and negative relationships between secondary traumatic stress and the other variables in this study. Compassion satisfaction, which is one sub-factors of professional quality of life, was influenced by professional self-concept and emotional labor, and these variables explained 55% of compassion satisfaction. Burnout was only influenced by professional self-concept which explained 47% of burnout. Secondary traumatic stress was influenced by emotional labor and gender which accounted for 5% of secondary traumatic stress. Conclusion: These results show that professional self-concept is very important in promoting quality of life for nurses. So nurse managers should try to strengthen nurses’ professional self-concepts.

Purpose
To develop a Korean version of the practice environment scale that can verify the practice environment of advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) by verifying the validity and reliability of the Nurse practitioner's primary care organizational climate questionnaire developed by Poghosyan et al.
Methods
After translation using a committee approach and an expert group’s verification of the content validity, items were classified as 'professional visibility', 'APRN-administration relations', 'APRN-physician relations', 'independent practice and support' A total of 29 questionnaire items were developed for the four factors. Data were collected from 200 advanced practice registered nurses working at two advanced general hospitals and six general hospitals.
Results
In the confirmatory factor analysis, CFI, TLI, and RMSR evaluation indices were appropriate except for RMSEA. Partial validity was shown in convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the questions were well organized with four factors. Cronbach's ⍺ of the whole instrument was .93.
Conclusion
As a first attempt to measure the practice environment of the APRN in Korea, the results show that this questionnaire provides basic data for correct role setting and improvement of practice environment. This research will ultimately serve as a basis for cost-effective quality care.

The significant predictors for organizational commitment of nurses were nursing professionalism (β=.42), total clinical career (β=−.30), monthly income (β=−.27) and clinical career in current hospital (β=−.24). These variables explained 36.0% of the variance in the organizational commitment of nurses. Nursing professionalism was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between nurses' character and organizational commitment.
CONCLUSION
These results highlight the importance of nurses' organizational commitment and can be used as meaningful data for intervention research to promote the character of nurses and nursing professionalism.

PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to examine degrees of nurse-nurse collaboration and nurse-physician collaboration, and investigate their relationships to the occurrence of medical errors.
METHODS
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with 264 nurses in a university hospital. The questionnaire included fivecomponent nurse-nurse collaboration and three-component nurse-physician collaboration scales. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, ANOVA, χ2 tests, and multiple logistic regression.
RESULTS
Mean score for nurse-nurse collaboration was 2.8 out of 4.0, and for nurse-physician collaboration, 3.4 out of 5.0. There were significant differences in the nurse-nurse and nurse-physician collaboration scores by nurses' preference to workplace and work unit. A significant difference was found in the nurse-nurse collaboration scores by job position. Fifty-seven (21.60%) nurses responded that they had experienced a medical error in the last six months. Logistic regression analysis revealed that nurse-physician collaboration was a significant factor associated with nurses' error experience. Nurses with higher scores for the nurse-physician relationship component were less likely to experience medical errors.
CONCLUSION
Findings from this study show that nurse-nurse and nurse-physician collaboration were moderate. Negative relationship between nurse-physician collaboration and the occurrence of medical error indicates that enhancing nurse-physician collaboration would contribute to improving patient safety.

PURPOSE
This study was performed to measure nursing professionalism, organizational communication, and intent to stay, and investigate the relationship among these three variables in geriatric hospital nurses.
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey was done with the participation of 195 nurses working at 23 geriatric hospitals in B city of Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Data were collected from January 19 to 25, 2018 using structured questionnaires and were analyzed using SPSS/WIN program.
RESULTS
The geriatric hospital nurses' scores for nursing professionalism, organizational communication, and intent to stay were relatively lower than those of general hospital nurses. Each of these three variables was differently perceived according to participants' general characteristics but there was a positive correlation between them. The factors influencing intent to stay were organizational communication, age and through newspapers/advertising (one of motivations for working at geriatric hospitals). These three variables explained 47% of intent to stay.
CONCLUSION
To increase intent to stay in geriatric hospital nurses, nursing or hospital managers must develop and apply programs that help improve nurses' professionalism and organizational communication. Especially geriatric hospital nursing managers should try to provide organizational communication enhancement programs for young and inexperienced nurses.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between nursing practice environment, resilience, job stress, communication skills, and managerial competence of frontline nurse managers and identify factors influencing their managerial competence.
METHODS
A descriptive research was carried out with 148 frontline nurse managers in six general hospitals. From August 16 to October 7, 2016 data were collected using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0.
RESULTS
Managerial competence of frontline nurse managers was positively correlated with nursing practice environment (r=.41 p < .001), resilience (r=.45, p < .001), communication skills (r=.38, p < .001) and was negatively correlated with job stress (r=−.27, p < .001). The factors influencing managerial competence were nursing practice environment (β=.29, p=.002) and resilience (β=.28, p=.007) in that order. The input variables explained 30.8% of managerial competence.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that a policy guideline is needed to enhance managerial competence of frontline nurse managers. The policy guideline should include achieving an adequate level of nurse staffing to improve the nursing practice environment and providing frontline nurse managers with educational support and administrative assistance to increase their resilience.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between types of conflict management style, role conflict, professional autonomy and organizational commitment of hospital nurses, and to identify factors influencing organizational commitment.
METHODS
Participants were 165 conveniently selected nurses from one general hospital in Gangwon province. Data were collected from March 28 to April 6, 2018 using self-report questionnaires.
RESULTS
There was a significant difference in the level of professional autonomy and organizational commitment depending on the nurses' styles of conflict management. A statistically significant positive correlation between professional autonomy and organizational commitment was found, and a negative correlation between environmental barriers in role conflict and organizational commitment. Participants' professional autonomy and environmental barriers in role conflict explained 17.9% of organizational commitment.
CONCLUSION
These finding indicate that professional autonomy and environmental barriers are both very important factors influencing organizational commitment. Accordingly, it is necessary to improve nurses' organizational commitment, enhance autonomy and reduce environmental barriers for nurses performing nursing roles.

PURPOSE
The study was undertaken to investigate influence of nurses' work environment, organizational commitment, and nursing professionalism on turnover intention of nurses working in long term care hospitals.
METHODS
The study was cross-sectional study. Participants were 199 nurses working in one of 7 long term care hospitals. Data were collected from May 1 to June 30, 2016 and analysed using two stage hierarchial regression analysis with SPSS 22.0.
RESULTS
There was a statistically significant difference in turnover intention according to age (F=6.23, p < .001), present work career (t=−2.11, p=.036), frequency of night duty (t=−3.53, p=.001), and present position (t=−4.07, p < .001). The significant predictors of turnover intention were attachment (β=−0.29, p=.005), nursing professionalism (β=−.21, p=.030), identification (β=−.21, p=.014), continuance (β=−.19, p=.008), collegial nurse-physician relations (β=−.16, p=.039), and originality of nursing (β=.16, p=.014). These factors explained 50.4% of the variance.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that several points need to be considered in order to reduce turnover intention in long term care hospital nurses. These points include building work environments to improve collegial nurse-physician relations, promoting recognition of nurses' organizational commitment, nursing professionalism and the political efforts of organizations supporting nursing originality.

The scores were, for job embeddedness, 3.19 (out of 5.0), nursing professionalism, 3.50 (out of 5.0), and intent to stay, 5.30 (out of 8.0). The three variables were all different according to participants' general characteristics. Factors influencing intent to stay were organization fitness (one of 4 sub-factors of job embeddedness), social recognition (one of 5 sub-factors of nursing professionalism) and age (one of participants' general characteristics). These three variables explained 34% of intent to stay.
CONCLUSION
To increase competent career nurses' intent to stay, nursing and hospital managers must develop and implement programs that help improve nurses' organization fitness to adjust well in their organization and healthcare institutions and nursing organizations must continue efforts to raise social recognition of nurses and to improve nurses' working conditions.

PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to define the effects of relational bonds and professional authority in organizational commitment of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses.
METHODS
A questionnaire was distributed to 200 ICU nurses working in 3 tertiary hospitals. The survey content included the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), Relational Bond Questionnaire (RBQ) and Schutzenhofer Professional Nurse Autonomy Scale (SPNA).
RESULTS
The score for OCQ was 2.59, for RBQ, 3.23, and for SPNA, 2.93. Organizational commitment was related to relational bonds (β=0.45; p<.001; SE=0.08). These factors accounted for 21.6% of the variability in organizational commitment.
CONCLUSION
Results indicate that ICU nurses' organizational commitment could be improved through increasing relational bonds and retaining experienced nurses which suggests a need to develop work systems designed to increase and maintain high relational bonds in ICU nurses.

Nursing research in the United States (US) spans several decades. Many of the priorities/trends have stayed through the years. Today, the goal of producing evidence to support nursing care interventions coupled with the drive for Magnet Recognition has encouraged academic nurses (faculty) to work with nurse clinicians to form research teams. Interdisciplinary research teams have also formed to address growing concerns over patient safety and quality care. These issues are not just US issues but global ones. This article addresses US trends with the link to global research trends. The role that organizations such as the International Council of Nurses (ICN), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc. (COINN) pay in shaping research agendas and promoting nursing research is highlighted. It emphasizes the key role that nurses, especially nurse leaders/administrators play in changing health outcomes through support of nursing research.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the study was to identify characteristics of nursing and caring concepts measured by nursing competencies or caring behaviors tools for general nurses working in acute care hospitals.
METHODS
Five major nursing literature databases were used to identify the relevant tools. The study included 19 nursing competencies tools with a total of 843 measurement items and 12 caring behaviors tools with 334 items. According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN)'s Competencies Framework and 8Cs suggested by Roach (1987) and Pusari (1998), the measurement items were classified by two researchers independently first and in agreement finally.
RESULTS
Competency of ‘key principles of care’ including sub-areas of the ICN Framework was most commonly found: on average 49.3% of nursing competencies items and 91.9% of caring behaviors items. 97.0% of the caring behaviors items were classified into one of six Cs: competence (27.5%), confidence (21.3%), compassion (17.1%), commitment (16.5%), communication (9.9%), or conscience (4.8%).
CONCLUSION
Nursing competencies tools were more likely to measure ‘what to do’ focusing on tasks, while caring behaviors tools were to measure ‘how to do’ focusing on nurses' attitudes or values. Nursing practices should be evaluated with both nursing competencies and caring behaviors tools, considering that nursing and caring were differently conceptualized in the quantitative tools.

PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to analyze relationships between perfectionism, burnout, and emotional intelligence in APN and to identify the mediating effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship between perfectionism and burnout.
METHODS
A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure perfectionism, burnout, and emotional intelligence. Data were collected from 121 APN working in five advanced general hospitals and two general hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation and Hierarchical multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program.
RESULTS
Mean scores for each variable were: perfectionism 3.57 (on a 5-point scale), burnout 3.32 (on a 7-point scale), and emotional intelligence 5.00 (on a 7-point scale). Self-oriented perfectionism had a positive correlation with burnout, as did socially prescribed perfectionism. Emotional intelligence was a significant variable reducing burnout, as it also had a reverse buffering effect on the relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and burnout. Explanatory power of the final model based on variables was 34%.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study suggest a mediating direction regarding burnout by demonstrating that emotional intelligence plays a direct and reverse buffering role to self-oriented perfectionism, which can be used to reduce burnout in APN.

PURPOSE
This exploratory study was done to categorize medical personnel's perceptions of burnout and analyzed the characteristics.
METHODS
Q methodology was applied using a 45 Q-sample categorized on an 11-point scale which was completed by nurses and doctors working at a university hospital in Seoul, Korea. Collected data were analyzed using the PC-QUANL program.
RESULTS
Medical personnel's perceptions of burnout were categorized into three types; 33.83% of the total variance was explained. The first type was 'functionally deteriorating pressure' the second type was 'daily powerlessness' and the third was 'achievement-oriented re-energization'.
CONCLUSION
There is a need to establish and apply intervention strategies for each type to alleviate medical personnel burnout and increase work efficiency to qualitatively improve medical services.

PURPOSE
A descriptive survey was used in this study to identify the relationship between nurses' critical thinking disposition, self-directed learning readiness and professional nursing competency and to examine factors that influence professional nursing competency.
METHODS
The data were collected from 188 nurses and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 20.0 PC program.
RESULTS
Professional nursing competency was found to have significant pure correlations with critical thinking disposition (r=.59, p<.001), and self-directed learning readiness (r=.54, p<.001). The most influential factor influencing nurses' professional nursing competency was critical thinking disposition, followed by self-directed learning readiness (beta=.25, p=.003), work department (beta=.19, p=.001), total clinical career (beta=.19, p=.003), and position (beta=.12, p=.040), and these factors explained 43.8% of the variance in professional nursing competency.
CONCLUSION
The findings indicate the necessity of developing and applying strategies and educational programs to enhance individual nurse's critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning readiness. Furthermore, exploration is needed on ways to enhance professional nursing competency.
