Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships of symptom clusters, compliance with the patient’s role behavior, and dialysis adequacy with quality of life among hemodialysis patients. Methods: Structured surveys were used to collect data from 132 patients who were receiving hemodialysis as outpatients at two hemodialysis units using the Dialysis Symptom Index, tools to assess compliance with the patient’s role behavior and dialysis adequacy, and the Korean version of the World Health Organization BREF index for quality of life. Results: Quality of life was negatively correlated with the emotional-gastrointestinal symptom cluster (r=-.20, p=.021), the disturbance related-worrying symptom cluster (r=-.40, p<.001), and the sexual symptom cluster (r=-.23, p=.007), and positively correlated with compliance with the patient’s sick role (r=.43, p<.001). Conclusion: Nursing interventions for hemodialysis patients targeting each symptom cluster are expected to improve their quality of life, as well as applying educational programs and nursing interventions to strengthen patient role performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of sense of coherence and social support in the relationship between uncertainty and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in elderly patients who underwent with total knee arthroplasty. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with 186 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Data were collected from September 17 to October 16, 2019 through structured questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and a parallel redundant mediated model in the PROCESS macro using SPSS version 27.0. Results: The mean scores of uncertainty, sense of coherence, social support, and HRQoL were 100.72, 49.77, 93.77, and 41.61. The direct effect of uncertainty on HRQoL and the indirect effect of uncertainty, mediated by sense of coherence and social support, on HRQoL were statistically significant. Conclusion: These results indicate that in order to increase the HRQoL of elderly patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty, it is necessary to develop an intervention program that focuses both on reducing uncertainty and on improving patients’ sense of coherence and social support.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze and clarify the concept of job crafting in nursing. Methods: Using the concept analysis framework of Walker & Avant (2014). 190 articles about job crafting were selected for this study. Results: Job crafting is defined as a series of activities where individuals self-directedly reorganize their jobs according to their capabilities. The attributes of job crafting include job understanding, a positive attitude towards trying, self-directed response, and physical change or giving meaning. The antecedents of job crafting include personality (openness to experience, positive psychological capital, motivation), job-related factors(skill variety, task significance, task identity), and organizational factors (empowering leadership). The consequences of job crafting are organizational commitment, work engagement, job satisfaction, and well-being. Conclusion: The results of this study are meaningful as they explore the concept and attributes of job crafting in the area of nursing. Furthermore, based on the results of this study, the development of standardized tools for measuring nurse-perceived job crafting and educational programs for enhancing job crafting is recommended.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between an individual's daily well-being and the self-talk and pep-talk type. Methods: A total of 378 Koreans between the ages of 18 and 37 participated in an online survey. The participants were presented with four vignettes and then responded to the question, “If you were feeling the same way as presented in the vignette, what type of self-talk and pep-talk would you be likely to have?” Descriptive and frequency analysis was used to examine the participants’ demographic characteristics and their preferred types of self-talk and pep-talk according to mood state. Moreover, hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among the study variables. Results: The message types of self-talk and pep-talk changed according to the participant’s mood state (i.e., anger, sadness, anxiety, and self-harm). In addition, people with higher levels of daily well-being were more likely to engage in active self-talk to regulate their mood. Conclusion: This study implies that self-talk and pep-talk via mobile media can serve as effective regulation strategies for people’s daily negative moods.

Purpose: This descriptive study aimed to identify the factors influencing caring behaviors and anxiety during surgery recognized by patients undergoing surgery with regional anesthesia. Methods: The subjects were 147 hospitalized patients who underwent surgery with regional anesthesia from July to September 2017. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and medical records at three orthopedics and women’s hospitals and one university hospital located in city A. The collected data were analyzed for frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression using the SPSS 27.0 program. Results: The factors influencing anxiety during surgery were caring behaviors (β=-.39, p<.001), surgical site (β=.27, p<.001), and trait anxiety (β=.21, p=.007), in descending order of influence, and the explanatory power was approximately 21%. Conclusion: Health care staff’s caring behaviors were the factor with the strongest influence on anxiety during surgery in patients undergoing surgery with regional anesthesia. Therefore, in order to alleviate anxiety during surgery, it is necessary to study the effect of developing and applying an intervention program for caring behaviors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the effects of speaking up climate, psychological safety, organizational learning culture, and supervisor support for patient safety on clinical nurses’ silence behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 189 nurses working at a tertiary hospital. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression. Results: The average score of nurses’ silence behavior was 2.23±0.62 out of 5 points. The strongest factor influencing nurses’ silence behavior was speaking up climate (β=-.33, p<.001), followed by psychological safety (β=-.20, p=.013), and organizational learning culture (β=-.15, p=.040). The regression model explained approximately 38% of the overall variance in the nurses’ silence behavior. Conclusion: This study found that the speaking up climate was the most important predictor of nurses’ silence behavior. Thus, we suggest that hospital administrators and nurse managers should encourage nurses to speak up by having regular meetings among healthcare professionals to enhance the psychological safety of nurses. In addition, to reduce nurses’ silence behavior, it is essential to create a culture wherein all members of the organization can constantly learn from mistakes or errors, which will, in turn, make it possible to improve patient safety at the system level.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to obtain a deep understanding of experiences of stigma among people infected with COVID-19 in South Korea. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews from March 2021 to November 2021 with nine people who had been infected with COVID-19. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: Six theme clusters emerged from participants' stigma experiences: “I've become the coronavirus itself”, “a desperate defense to protect myself”, “pointing a finger at oneself”, “a scapegoat for the public interest”, “the aftereffects caused by social prejudice” and “an isolated loner”. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that people infected with COVID-19 suffered considerable emotional distress and were hindered in their daily life recovery due to stigma. Based on this study, medical staff who treat patients infected with COVID-19 should understand their stigma in depth and strive to develop and implement the necessary instruments and nursing intervention programs to reduce this stigma.

Purpose: This scoping review focused on the application of simulation education for nursing college students and analyzed studies measuring problem-solving ability to present an overview of research trends and future directions. Methods: The scoping review followed the review guideline. The study was conducted independently by two reviewers, who searched the literature through electronic databases (DBpia, KISS, Science on, RISS, and Google Scholar). Results: In total, 32 studies were included in the final analysis, and each study was analyzed according to the following domains: general characteristics, simulation-related characteristics, and instrument-related characteristics. Simulation-based learning was primarily conducted for third- and fourth-year nursing students using various scenarios and high-fidelity simulators. However, the effect of simulation education on problem-solving ability was somewhat inconsistent, and some studies reported different names of tools and numbers of items by sub-area from the original instruments. Conclusion: It is necessary to critically reflect upon whether “Process Behavior Survey” tool can be used for simulation education. Therefore, conceptual analysis or instrument development research is needed in the future to accurately measure the problem-solving process or problem-solving ability.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the symptom management experiences of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome and to identify patterns therein. Methods: Yin's multiple-case study design was utilized. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants who experienced post-COVID-19 syndrome symptoms. One-on-one interviews and surveys were conducted with six participants between October 22, 2021 and November 28, 2021. Data analysis, which included content analysis for in-depth interview data and survey data, followed the process suggested by Yin. Results: Common themes identified between the cases were experiencing deterioration of health compared to the before getting COVID-19, utilizing various methods to relieve physical symptoms, coping passively with psychological symptom management, and difficultly in managing symptoms due to the lack of a post-COVID-19 syndrome management system. Differences between cases included various degrees of utilizing healthcare system for symptom, attitude toward accepting symptoms, and taking the lead in managing symptoms according to returning to work. Three patterns of symptom management of individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome were identified: self-management, treatment focus, lethargy. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for a nursing environment in which individuals experiencing post-COVID-19 syndrome can lead and take responsibility for health care, and it is suggested that future studies should develop high-quality nursing intervention programs for post-COVID-19 syndrome.
