PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of social support on the relationship between practice stress, emotional labor, and burnout among nursing students.
METHODS
The sample for this study consisted of 199 students from four universities located in Korea, and had a practicum experience at least one semester before the study began. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0.
RESULTS
It was found that: (a) burnout had a positive correlation with both practice stress and emotional labor, whereas a negative correlation was observed with social support; (b) social support mediated the relationship between practice stress and burnout, and (c) social support mediated the relationship between emotional labor and burnout.
CONCLUSION
Results of the study suggest that social support decreases the negative effects of practice stress and emotional labor on burnout. Therefore, we need to find ways to strengthen social support for students.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify ethical climate factors in hospitals and analyze their influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 196 nurses from one national university hospital in J city participated in this descriptive study survey. Instruments included the Ethical Climate Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Organizational Commitment Scale. Cronbach's alpha and factor analysis were done to test reliability and construct validity of the scales. Data were collected from March 15 to March 25, 2013 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0.
RESULTS
Seven ethical climate factors were identified; laws and professional codes, social responsibility, company rules and procedures, self-interest, personal morality, efficiency, and friendship. Factors influencing job satisfaction were friendship (beta=.25), social responsibility (beta=.20), laws and professional codes (beta=.20), and educational level (beta=.27), explaining 37.6% of variance in job satisfaction. Factors influencing organizational commitment included social responsibility (beta=.29), friendship (beta=.27), laws and professional codes (beta=.23), and age (beta=.19), with explanatory power of 44.6%.
CONCLUSION
Results can be used as preliminary data for developing new strategies to establish positive ethical climates in hospital environments and thus enhance nurses' job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
