Development of the Hospital Nurses’ Silence Behavior Scale: Chung, Soojin , Hwang, Jee-In; J Korean Acad Nurs 2024;54(2):279-295. Published online May 31, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.23138

Abstract PDF

Purpose
This study aimed to develop a scale to measure hospital nurses’ silence behavior and examine its validity and reliability.
Methods
A total of 52 preliminary items on hospital nurses’ silence behavior were selected using a content validity test by seven experts on 53 candidate items derived from a literature review and in-depth interviews with 14 nurses. A total of 405 hospital nurses participated in a psychometric testing. Data analysis comprised item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent and discriminant validity tests. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used for assessing concurrent validity, and Cronbach’s alpha was used for the reliability test.
Results
The final scale consisted of nine factors with 31 items, exhibiting acceptable model fit indices, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The score of the entire scale was positively correlated with the ‘Organizational Silence Scale (OSS)-the issues on which nurses remain silent’ (r = .60, p < .001) and ‘OSS-the reasons why nurses remain silent’ (r = .68, p < .001). Cronbach’s α of the scale was .92, and α of each subscale ranged from .71 to .90.
Conclusion
The Hospital Nurses’ Silence Behavior Scale is a useful tool for assessing multifaceted silence behavior among nurses. It can provide basic data for developing better communication strategies among nurses and other hospital staff.

Analysis of the Adequacy of Nurse Staffing Level through the Estimation of Nursing Activity Hours and Implementation of Focus Group Interviews in a Tertiary Hospital: Using a Mixed-Method Design: Kim, Hyun-Joo , Lee, Sun-Hee , Lee, Jai-Jung , Seong, Sun-Suk , Yang, Hee , Lee, Hyang-Yuol; J Korean Acad Nurs 2024;54(2):237-249. Published online May 31, 2024; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.22142

Abstract PDF: Purpose
This study aimed to examine the adequacy of current nurse staffing levels by identifying nursing activities and workload.
Methods
The study used a mixed-method design. A nursing activity survey was conducted using the work sampling method over 2 working days with 119 general ward nurses. A focus group interview was conducted with 12 nurses. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and content analysis, respectively.
Results
The most amount of time was spent on medication (in direct nursing) and electronic medical record documentation (in indirect nursing). The appropriate nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:7.7 for the day shift, 1:9.0 for the evening shift, and 1:11.9 for the night shift. However, the current nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:9.4, 1:11.0, and 1:13.8 for the day, evening, and night shifts, respectively. Therefore, the current nurse staffing level is insufficient for the workload. In the focus group interview, the main reasons cited for being unable to complete tasks within working hours were communication and coordination, and the nursing electronic medical record. The essential nursing activities of basic nursing and emotional support were overlooked owing to a heavy workload. Therefore, an adequate nurse staffing level should be higher than the measured quantitative workload.
Conclusion
These results suggest the general wards of tertiary hospitals should evaluate the adequacy of their current nurse staffing and allocate sufficient nurses to improve patient safety and nursing care quality.

Development of a Reward Scale for Hospital Nurses: Kim, Sun Hee , Kim, Eun-Young; J Korean Acad Nurs 2023;53(5):525-537. Published online October 31, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.23057

Abstract PDF

Purpose
This study aimed to develop and test a reward scale for hospital nurses.
Methods
The initial items were identified through a literature review and focus group interviews with ten hospital nurses. The content validity of the items was evaluated by ten experts. Fifty-one items were derived from the pilot survey. Four hundred eighty-eight nurses participated in the study: 248 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 240 confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data were analyzed using item analysis, EFA, CFA, convergent validity, known-group validity, and internal consistency using IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0 and IBM SPSS AMOS 29.0.
Results
The final scale consisted of 31 items and eight factors (decent wage, opportunity to grow and develop, support for special situations, various benefits, flexibility of work, job-related achievement, reflecting career and performance, and recognition), which explained 67.3% of the total variance. The eight-subscale model was validated by CFA. Convergent validity was evaluated by analyzing correlation with intention to leave (r = - .63, p < .001) and job satisfaction (r = .54, p < .001). The known-group validity was evaluated by comparing the reward scales according to age, clinical career, income level and hospital type. The scale was found to be reliable with a Cronbach’s α of .89.
Conclusion
Both the validity and reliability of the reward scale for hospital nurses are verified, which can enhance the understanding of the range of rewards and may assist nurse managers in establishing an effective reward system.

Effect of 2% Chlorhexidine Bathing on the Incidence of Hospital-Acquired Infection and Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in Adult Intensive Care Unit Patients: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Seo, Jisu , Song, Rhayun; J Korean Acad Nurs 2021;51(4):414-429. Published online August 31, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.21046

Abstract PDF

Purpose
This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed the effects of 2% chlorhexidine bathing on the incidence of hospital-acquired infection (HAI) and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in adult intensive care units.
Methods
PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and RISS database were systematically searched, and 12 randomized studies were included in the analysis. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 3.0 was used to calculate the effect size using the odds ratio (OR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis was performed according to the specific infection and intervention types.
Results
In general, 2% chlorhexidine bathing has a significant effect on the incidence of HAI (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40~0.86) and MDRO (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.34~0.79). Subgroup analyses show 2% chlorhexidine bathing is effective in bloodstream infections (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.39~0.66) but not for urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia infections, and Clostridium difficile infections. Moreover, 2% chlorhexidine bathing alone or its combination with other interventions has a significant effect on the incidence of HAI and MDRO (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.38~0.92).
Conclusion
This meta-analysis reveals that 2% chlorhexidine bathing significantly reduces the incidence of HAI and MDRO in intensive care units. The effect of 2% chlorhexidine bathing on pediatric patients or patients at general wards should be further assessed as a cost-effective intervention for infection control.

Effects of a Web-Based Korean Triage and Acuity Scale Learning Program on Triage Self-Efficacy and Triage Performance Ability for Nurses in Emergency Department: Hyo-Jin Kim, Hee-Young Kang; J Korean Acad Nurs 2019;49(2):171-180. Published online April 30, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2019.49.2.171

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS) is a tool used to classify the severity and urgency of emergency department (ED) patients, focusing on their symptoms. In consideration of the importance of the KTAS, a web-based learning program has emerged as a new mode of education; it enables ED triage nurses to access it anytime and anywhere, and according to their own learning abilities. This study aimed to develop a web-based KTAS learning program and evaluate its effects on self-efficacy and triage performance ability in ED nurses.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest was used. The conceptual framework was Bandura's self-efficacy theory. There were 30 participants in the experimental group and 29 in the control group. The experimental group attended an orientation and 4 sessions of a web-based KTAS learning program. The learning program lasted 280 minutes over five weeks, consisting of 40 minutes of orientation and four 60-minute sessions.

Results

The scores of self-efficacy, triage performance ability in KTAS level, and chief complaints significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. In addition, the numbers of under-triage in KTAS significantly decreased in the experimental group in comparison to the control group.

Conclusion

The results suggest that the learning program was effective in improving ED nurses' level of self-efficacy and triage performance ability (KTAS level and KTAS chief complaint). Accordingly, the web-based KTAS learning program can be applied as an education intervention to improve ED nurses' triage skill.

Evaluation of Validity of the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale: Heejung Choi, Jong Sun Ok, Soo Young An; J Korean Acad Nurs 2019;49(1):26-35. Published online February 28, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2019.49.1.26

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The aim of this study was to identify the predictive validity of the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS).

Methods

This methodological study used data from National Emergency Department Information System for 2016. The KTAS disposition and emergency treatment results for emergency patients aged 15 years and older were analyzed to evaluate its predictive validity through its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.

Results

In case of death in the emergency department, or where the intensive care unit admission was considered an emergency, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the KTAS were 0.916, 0.581, 0.097, and 0.993, respectively. In case of death in the emergency department, or where the intensive or non-intensive care unit admission was considered an emergency, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 0.700, 0.642, 0.391, and 0.867, respectively.

Conclusion

The results of this study showed that the KTAS had high sensitivity but low specificity. It is necessary to constantly review and revise the KTAS level classification because it still results in a few errors of under and over-triage. Nevertheless, this study is meaningful in that it was an evaluation of the KTAS for the total cases of adult patients who sought help at regional and local emergency medical centers in 2016.

Development of the Patient-Centered Nursing Culture Scale for Hospitals: Esther Shin, Sook-Hee Yoon; J Korean Acad Nurs 2019;49(5):613-630. Published online January 15, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2019.49.5.613

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose

This study aimed to develop a scale measuring the Patient-Centered Nursing Culture (PCNC) and provide a basic tool to improve PCNC in Korea.

Methods

A conceptual framework and construct factors were extracted through extensive literature review and in-depth interviews with nursing professionals. In total, 59 items were derived based on the pilot survey. Data were collected from 357 nurses working at general hospitals and analyzed for verifying the reliability and validity of the scale.

Results

Nine factors containing 54 items were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis to verify the construct validity. The nine factors were top management leadership, policy and procedure, education and training, middle management leadership, supportive teamwork, nursing workplace environment, professional competence, patient-centered nursing activity, and nurses’ values. These items were verified by convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity testing. The internal consistency reliability was acceptable (Cronbach's α=.96).

Conclusion

The developed PCNC scale is expected to be used as the tool for the development of theory and improvement of PCNC, the empirical testing for cause and effect of PCNC, the development of interventions, education and training programs for improving PCNC, and indicators for evaluation or accreditation of hospital service quality.

The Effects of an Acceptance-Commitment Therapy Based Stress Management Program on Hospitalization Stress, Self-Efficacy and Psychological Well-Being of Inpatients with Schizophrenia: Jae Woon Lee, Jae Hyun Ha; J Korean Acad Nurs 2018;48(4):443-453. Published online January 15, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2018.48.4.443

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose

The purpose of this study was to construct an acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT)-based stress management program for inpatients with schizophrenia and to examine its effects on hospitalization stress, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being.

Methods

A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 44 inpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The experimental group (n=22) received the ACT-based stress management program twice a week for a total of four weeks. The control group (n=22) received the usual care from their primary health care providers. The study was carried out from August 7 to September 1, 2017, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0 with a Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and an independent t-test.

Results

The experimental group showed a significant decrease in hospitalization stress (t=5.09, p<.001) and an increase in self-efficacy (t=2.44, p=.019). However, there was no significant difference in psychological well-being between the two groups (t=0.13, p=.894).

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that the ACT-based stress management program can be used as an effective mental health nursing intervention for hospitalization stress and self-efficacy for inpatients with schizophrenia.

Usefulness of Korean Version of Behavioral Cue Checklist for Predicting of Patient Violence in Emergency Departments: Jang Mi Kim, Eun Nam Lee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2018;48(3):289-297. Published online January 15, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2018.48.3.289

Abstract PDF: Abstract Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a behavioral cue checklist (BCC) containing 17 items developed by Wilkes et al. (2010) for identifying potentially violent patients in emergency departments.
Methods
This was a prospective observational study to evaluate the usefulness of the Korean version of a BCC (K-BCC) as an assessment tool for predicting patient violence in emergency departments, and was conducted over 4 weeks in a regional emergency medical center located in B City. A total of 1,324 patients were finally analyzed.
Results
Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate whether each item of the K-BCC predicts violence, and a parsimonious set of 8 statistically significant items was selected for the tool. Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the BCC showed that the area under the curve was .97 (95% confidence interval: .94~1.0). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value at the cut-off score of 2 were 75.6%, 98.9%, 68.2%, and 99.2%, respectively.
Conclusion
The K-BCC was found to be useful in predicting patient violence toward emergency department staff. This tool is simple, and fast to use and can play a significantly role identifying potentially violent patients. Owing to this advance identification, this tool can be helpful in preventing the potential for violence from manifesting as violent behaviors.

A Survey on the Performance of Surgical Hand Scrubs: Hae Sang Yoon; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1996;26(3):591-604. Published online March 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1996.26.3.591

Abstract PDF

The surgical hand scrub(SHS) is the single most important procedure in the prevention of postoperative wound infections and yet it remains the most violated of all infection control procedures. The purpose of this study was to gain an overview of SHS habits in operative theatre personnel and to determine knowledge and attitudes to identify whether there is a need for improvement. The subjects for this study included 79 doctors and 94 nurses working in the operative theatres of four hospitals in Incheon City and Kyungki Province. Related data were collected from July 25 to August 10, 1995 by the author. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-squre test. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Nurses felt that they conducted SHS for a longer period of time than doctors did(X=20.1, P= .005). 2. Nurses and doctors had some knowledge of slipping rings off fingers and the length of nails, but they lacked knowledge on the duration of SHS, handwashing after an operation and on manicure. 3. There were many reasons given for insufficient SHS included: 1) because they were so busy (38%). 2) brushes were too harsh(19.7%). 3) operations were very simple(18.7%). 4) surgical latex gloves provide functional barrier(11.6%). 5) SHSs were troublesome(7.4%) 6) there were no clocks near the sinks(2.5%) and 7) the operative patients were administered antibiotics after operartion(2.1%). 4. Most of nurses and doctors considered SHS to be important in prevention against post operative infections. 5. Nurses were found to do a thorough SHS, but residents were found to neglect SHS. 6. Considering prevention against postoperative infections, most nurses and doctors considered aseptic techniques, environment-sanitary management and SHS more important than the use of antibiotics, the resistance of patients or the method of operation. 7. Half of the nurses and doctors(54.3%) considered surgical latex gloves to function well as a barrier. 8. Half of the nurses(56.4%) and doctors(51.9%) learned SHS as part of the curriculum in their school education and the rest (nurses: 95.7%, doctors: 74.7%) learned SHS as part of their In Service Education. In conclusion, these findings suggest a need to develop an educational program on surgical hand scrub and hospital infection control for surgical personnels, to install clocks near the hand scrub sinks, to consider a violation report for negligent surgical hand scrubs, and to develop a soft brush for hand scrubs in order to increase performance of the surgical hand scrub.

An Analytical Study of the Professional Self-Concept of Hospital Nurses in Korea: Kyeong Yae Sohng, Choon Hee Noh; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1996;26(1):94-106. Published online March 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1996.26.1.94

Abstract PDF

Nursing literature suggests that the self-concept of nurses gives an important implications to educators and administrators as well as clinicians for their professional development. With a view to ex ploring how nurses view themselves, the Professional Self-Concept of Nurses Instrument (PSCNI) using 27 Likert items was developed by Arthur in Australia in 1990. This study is an extension of the PSCNI using Korean samples with some modifications. A convenience sample was drawn from 800 nurses working in three university hospitals in Seoul; three university hospitals in Kyonggi-do and a university hospital and a psychiatric hospital in Kangwon-do. Seven hundred questionnaires were analyzed using the statistical analysis system(SAS). The reliability of the scale was tested by test-retest and Cronbach's alpha. Differences in the PSCNI, which are closely related to demographic variables, were examined by t-test, ANOVA and the Duncan's multiple range test. Factor analysis was employed so as to examine component factors. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The test-retest reliability of the PSCNI was .79 and Cronbach's alpha was .85. Item correlations with total revealed consistent correlations and subscale reliability varied from .49 to .85. 2. The average score of PSCNI was 75.21 and average item score was 2.79. 3. Twenty four items were derived from the PSCNI 27 items and these items clustered in three component factors. The cumulative percent of variance was 38.12% and for factor 1 was 22.81%, for factor 2, 9.79% and for factor 3, 5.51% respectively. 4. A comparison of the scores for the dimensions of the PSCNI shows a relative difference in terms of mean item scores and in decending order, professional practice (m=2.83), communication (m=2.82) and satisfaction (m=2.70). 5. Professional self-concept of nurses was found to vary significantly according to age(P=.0001), re-ligion (P=,0001), academic background(P= .0109), marital status (P=. 0001), career (P= . 0001) and position (P=. 0001). In conclusion, there was a correlation between professional self-concept of nurses, and life and work variables. This study provides an important message for administrators and nurse educators by highlighting factors which can be addressed by education programs, staff development and appraisal. While the test results largely confirm the Australian and Canadian tests, further research is necessary to improve the cumulative percent of variance instead of applying Arthur's PSCNI directly to Korean nurses.

Anxiety after Acute Myocardial Infarction and In-Hospital Complications: Kyungeh An; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2002;32(7):999-1008. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2002.32.7.999

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: A retrospective and descriptive survey was conducted to investigate the level of anxiety that patients experience in early stage of AMI and to examine whether anxiety independently predict inhospital complications. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: AMI is a major cause of death and disability. Anxiety may contribute to developing complications and mortality. However, the association between anxiety and complications has not been examined.
RESULTS
Data were analyzed for 424 AMI patients enrolled for MICA (Myocardial Infarotion Complication and Anxiety) project. The mean score of the state anxiety inventory (SAI) measured within 72 hours after admission for the whole sample was 39.14 (+/-12.77) and ranged from 18 to 80. Overall, 161 patients (38.0%) experienced at least one episode of in-hospital complication (i.e. VT, VF, reinfarction, recurrent ischemia or cardiac death). Incidence of in-hospital complications was higher in the high anxiety group than in the low anxiety group (45.4% vs. 31.2%). There were significant differences in the incidence of recurrent ischemia between groups with low level of anxiety and high level of anxiety (27.5% vs. 18.9%). According to the Ward criterion from the logistic regression, anxiety reliably predicted the occurrence of in-hospital complications. Anxiety (odds ratio = 1.75, 95% CI 1.01-3.01, p= 0.04) significantly contributed to the model. Patients who were in the high anxiety group were 1.8 times more likely to have in-hospital complications than those who were in the low anxiety group.
CONCLUSION
AND SUGGESTION: This finding confirms that patients experience significant level of anxiety early after AMI, and this anxiety, after controlling other risk factors for the complications, is a reliable predictor of in-hospital complications.

Responses to Symptoms of Acute Myocardial Infarction: Reasons for Delay and Bystanders' Role: Debra K Moser, Kyungeh An; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2002;32(7):1063-1071. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2002.32.7.1063

Abstract PDF

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of death in Korea. Delay in seeking treatment may cause unnecessary exacerbation of the disease and early mortality from AMI. Patients' recognition of symptoms of an AMI and response to those symptoms may influence the delay time. Bystanders' role in patients' seeking treatment after AMI has not been studied in previous research. Understanding reasons for delay in seeking treatment is important in developing interventions for reducing these delays and increasing survival rate from AMI. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: A retrospective survey was conducted with 144 AMI patients to: (1) investigate time from symptom onset to arrival at the first hospital for treatment of AMI; (2) describe patient's and bystander's response to the patient's symptoms; (3)examine whether patient's and bystander's responses affect delay time.
RESULTS
The mean of overall pre-hospital delay time was 13.64 (21.86) hours and it consisted of patients' delay of 13.64 (22.32) hours and transportation time of 24.86 (19.41) minutes. People living in rural area delayed longer than people living in urban area. Pre-hospital delay time was associated with the bystander: patients delayed longer when they were with their spouse, family and friends than when with colleagues at work. Calling 119 saved transportation time, but did not reduce overall pre-hospital delay time.
CONCLUSION
AND SUGGESTIONS: Patients delay longer than the time window for a successful reperfusion therapy when they experience symptoms of AMI; and calling 119 does not diminish this delay. Bystanders' adequate response to the patients' symptom may reduce the delay time in seeking treatment. Findings from this study may suggest that health education and public campaigns are needed to increase people's recognition of symptoms of an AMI and to promote adequate response from bystanders to the AMI symptoms. In addition, public campaigns urging car operators to yield to the emergency vehicle are needed in order to reduce transportation time.

A study of the Nursing Service Quality and Satisfaction that Admitted Patients Perceived: being used SERVQUAL: Mi Aie Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2002;32(4):506-518. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2002.32.4.506

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE: This study was performed to measure the nursing service quality being used SERVQUAL model and satisfaction that the admitted patients perceived. METHOD: The questionnaire founded on the SERVQUAL was developed and distributed to 300 patients at the three general hospitals in three provincial city, Korea. For data analysis, Cronbach's alpha frequencies, percentages, paired t-test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used. RESULT: In expectation, patients most highly perceived the assurance factor that was one among the 5 factors being constituted nursing service. In performance, patients most highly perceived the responsiveness factor. The performance degrees of the 5 factors and 20 attributes being constituted nursing service did not exceed the expectation degree of those. So the calculated figures for nursing service quality of the three subjected hospitals were all minus. In relation of the patients' demographics and nursing service characteristics to their general satisfaction, patients' sex, age, income and the all factors and attributes of nursing service had relation to their general satisfaction. CONCLUSION: It could be concluded that the nursing service quality of the three subjected hospitals was poor and the patients' demographic and nursing service characteristics had relation to their general satisfaction.

Pre-hospital Delay in Treatment after Acute Myocardial Infarction: Kyungeh An; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2001;31(7):1141-1150. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2001.31.7.1141

Abstract PDF

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of death. Most of the deaths from AMI, if diagnosed and treated early enough, can be prevented. Delay in treatment may cause unnecessary exacerbation of the disease and even death in AMI patients. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: A retrospective survey was conducted to (1) investigate the delay time in AMI patients' seeking treatment from symptom onset to arrival at the first hospital (overall pre-hospital delay), the length of time taken for decision-making (patients' delay) and transport (transportation time); (2) to identify factors associated with delay times; (3) to compare delay times between the group who called 119 and the group who did not.
RESULTS
The mean of overall pre-hospital delay time was 17.42 (+/-24.03) hours and it was consisted of patients' delay, 17.07(+/-24.45), and transportation time, .84 (+/-2.34). None of socio-demographic variables such as age, sex, marital status, monthly income, education, and living environment was associated with either the patients' delay or the overall delay time. Living rural area (F=4.483, p=.016), having previous MI (F=35.252, p=.000), and other heart disease (F=69.435, p=.000) decreased transportation time; having previous heart disease decreased overall pre-hospital delay(F=4.489, p=.039); and having angina (F=92.907, p=.000) and CAD (F=9.724, p=.003) increased transportation time. Place of symptom attack, bystander, whether patients or bystander called 119, modes of transportation, intensity of pain, presence of typical chest pain and anxiety perceived by patients were not associated with any of delay times. No significant differences appeared between the group who called 119 and the group who did not in any of delay times.
CONCLUSION
AND SUGGESTIONS: Although number of patients who arrive at the hospital early enough for treatment tend to be increasing, considerable number of patients still delayed longer than desired when they experienced symptoms of AMI, and calling 119 did not diminish this delay because patients delayed mostly before they decided to call. Living urban area, having previous MI, and heart disease decreased transportation time whereas having previous heart disease decreased the overall pre-hospital delay time and having previous angina and CAD increased transportation time. Further studies to identify reasons for real late arrivals as well as public campaigns to reduce delay time in treatment are needed.

A Study of the Perception Gap on Nursing Service between Consumers and Providers: Mi Aie Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2001;31(5):871-884. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2001.31.5.871

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE: this study was to investigate the perception gap on nursing service between consumers and providers.
METHOD
the questionnaire founded on the SERVQUAL was developed and distributed to 300 patients and 210 nurses at the three subjected general hospitals in three provincial city, Korea during February to March, 2001. For data analysis, Cronbachs' Alpha, frequency, t-test, and paired t-test were used.
RESULT
1. In the gap analysis on the 20 properties constituting nursing service, providers almost all perceived higher than consumer in quality. Among them, the number of properties being statistically significant was 7 in the expectation, 18 in the important and 7 in the performance. 2. In the comparison analysis of the perception gap on the expectation-performance and the important-performance, it turned out that the subjected hospitals had to improve their equipment and facilities immediately. It was suggested a good strategy to strengthen the responsiveness factor and the assurance factor of nursing service.
CONCLUSION
it could be concluded that nurses have to recognize the blind spot of their perception and endeavor to take away the perception gap between consumers and providers.

Effects of a Sensory Stimulation on Weight Gain, Behavioral State, and Physiological Responses in Premature Infants: Hee Seung Song, Hee Sun Shin; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2001;31(4):703-711. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2001.31.4.703

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of sensory stimulation on premature infants.
METHOD
Thirty three premature infants admitted to NICU of D University Hospital in C city were randomly assigned in two groups (Experimental group: 16, Control group:17). For the experimental group, tactile and kinesthetic stimulation developed by Dr. Field was applied 2 times a day for 10 days. Behavioral state was measured using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS). Heart rate, respiration, and oxygen saturation were obtained for each infant before and after sensory stimulation. Hypothesis testing was done using the X2- test, student t-test, and repeated measures of ANOVA.
Result
Hypothesis 1: There was a significant difference in the daily body weight gain between experimental and control group (F= 40.77, p= .0001). Hypothesis 2: There was a significant difference in the frequency of 'inactive awake state' between two groups (X2= 39.778, p= .001). Hypothesis 3: There were significant differences in the mean of heart rate and O2 saturation between two groups (t= -2.174, p= .037; t= 3.080, p= .005). However, there was no significant difference in the mean of respiration rate between two groups (t= -1.966, p= .581).
CONCLUSION
The effectiveness of a sensory stimulation on weight gain and behavioral state in premature infants was supported. Further study is recommended to develop a sensory stimulation method as an independent nursing intervention for premature infant.

A Grounded Theory Approach to the Comfort Experience of Hospitalized Patients: Kyung Hee Kim, Keum Soon Kim, Kyu Sook Kang, Hyun Sook Kang, Won Ock Kim, Hoon Jung Paik, Jong Soon Won, Nan Young Lim, Ihn Sook Jeong, Hye Jin Kwon; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2000;30(3):750-763. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2000.30.3.750

Abstract PDF

This study is based on grounded theory methodology by Strauss & Corbin(1998). Ten hospitalized subjects were interviewed for data collection. In the process of data analysis, 'acceptance' is found to be the causal condition, while 'health professionals' skillfulness', 'ward environment', 'history of hospitalization', and 'general conditions' were identified as context, 'felling of relief' as the core phenomenon, 'self-efficacy', 'support of others', and 'life style' as the intermediate situation, 'passive reaction', 'alternative reaction' and 'active reaction' as the strategy and 'stabilization', 'satisfaction', 'hope' and 'carrying out' as consequences. 'Feeling of relief' is found to go through the three stages of recognition-generation-maintenance after the five different patterns. 1) In case the health professionals are skillful, the ward environment is favorable, the general conditions of the patients improved and as a result the feeling of relief is strong, during the first hospitalization, the self-efficacy of the subjects tends to be strong. They proceed toward the goal set for themselves with a renewed hope and active or alternative reaction toward the feeling of relief. 2) The subjects tend to proceed toward the goal set for themselves with a renewed hope and active and alternative reaction toward the feeling of relief in case health professionals are skillful, the ward environment is favorable the general conditions of the subjects improved, self-efficacy is strong, and lifestyle is autonomous, during the second hospitalization even though support of others is merely superficial. 3) The subjects tend to stabilize, and satisfy themselves with the given situation with passive and alternative reaction to the feeling of relief in case health professionals are skillful and the ward environment is favorable but the general conditions worsened and accordingly the feeling of relief, is weak and life style is dependent during the second hospitalization although the subjects' self-efficacy is strong and support of others is specific. 4) The subjects tend to stabilize and satisfy themselves with the given situation with passive and alternative reaction to the feeling of relief in case health professionals are unskillful the ward environment is unfavorable, the general conditions improved, support of others is specific but life style is dependent and self-efficacy is weak during the first hospitalization. 5) The subjects tend to stabilize and satisfy themselves with the given situation in case health professionals are unskillful the ward environment is unfavorable but the general conditions improved support of others is specific and as a result self-efficacy is strong but life style is dependent.

Elderly Sleep Pattern and Disturbing Factors Before and After Hospitalization: Mi Young Kim, Sung Hee Cho, Sang Mi Lee, Su Jung Jung, Kyung Sook Park; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 1999;29(1):61-71. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.1999.29.1.61

Abstract PDF

Sleep is a necessity for survival, Disruption of sleep leads to numerous adverse physiological and psychological consequences. These could be particularly undesirable for older patients, who are subject to many additional factors. But there is limited research related to hospitalized elderly in Korea. The purpose of the study is to explore sleep patterns and disturbing factors of before and after hospitalization, in order to present basic information regarding elderly sleep to develop nursing intervention. The sample consisted of 32 elderly men and women between the ages of 60 and 87 years. Data collection was done from September to November 1997. Measures of sleep patterns and related factors were obtained from self-reported sleep questionnaires. Analysis of data was done by use of t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. In comparison between before and after admission of their sleep pattern, "sleep onset" tends to be delayed and nocturnal sleep time was significantly reduced. So, hospitalized elderly reported less total sleep time than before admission. 2. Regarding the sleep disturbing factors, medication(hypnotics : 37.5%), physiological factor(snoring : 59.4%) environmental factor(pillow : 78.1%), emotional factor(anxiety related to disease : 37.5%), and illness factor(fatigue : 34.7%) were reported. 3. Significant differences in gender were found. Men had more disturbances in sleep than women owing to difficulty in falling a sleep and lack of nocturnal sleep. Women consumed more sleep inducing drugs. Significant increase was reported in napping during the day with increasing age. 4. Significant differences between good sleepers and poor sleepers were found for the following variables : nocturnal sleep time, total sleep time, bed time, sleep onset latency time, sleep latency time after nocturnal awakening, time spent in bed upon arousal, environmental factors, and emotional factors. In conclusion, it was found that the quantity and quality of sleep were significantly altered in hospitalized elderly, but adequate strategies for better sleep were not practiced. Further research is needed to develop intervention strategies to promote sleep and to prevent sleep problems.

A Comparison of Hospitals Nursing Practice in Korea and the U.S. as Experienced by Korean Nurses: Myung Sun Yi; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 1998;28(1):60-69. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.1998.28.1.60

Abstract PDF

Since the introduction of Western concept of nursing to Korea in late 1880s, Korean nursing practice has evolved into Korean culture. The purpose of this study was to explore and identify similarities and differences in hospital nursing practice between Korea and the United States using the grounded theory method. The data were gathered from 15 Korean nurses working in U.S. hospitals using semi-structured, in-depth interview method. Major similarities in nursing practice between Korea and U.S. existed in the 7 domains the Benner indicated in 1984. The nursing administration system was also similar in both countries. On the other hand, differences existed in how nurses execute these domains of nursing practice. These are the roles of nurses, nurse aides and family members, and the interpersonal relationships, and problem presentation and problem-solving strategies. American family members rarely participated in the patient's bedside nursing care, while Korean family members actively participated. American nurse aide participated in direct patient care, while Korean nurse aides did not. Also Korean nurses were participated more in administering and managing the patient's diagnostic and treatment modalities, while American nurses focused on the needs and demands of the patient. In terms of interpersonal relationships, American patients were more self-centered and demanding than Korean. American nurses focused more on the right of individuals while Korean nurses were more oriented to harmony with the coworkers. With inferiors and superiors, American members were more egalitarian, while Koreans tended to be hierarchical. In ways of suggesting problems, American nurses tended to pick out the problems more frequently than Korean nurses did. As to ways to solve the problems, American nurses relied heavily on explicit verbal explanations, while Korean nurses relied more on bodily action and behaviors. The results of this comparative study contribute to nursing by adding knowledge on the theory of culture care by describing the similarities and differences in nursing practice between Korea and the United States.

Factors Related to Nurse Staffing Levels in Tertiary and General Hospitals: Yun Mi Kim, Kyung Ja June, Sung Hyun Cho; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2005;35(8):1493-1499. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2005.35.8.1493

Abstract PDF

Background

Adequate staffing is necessary to meet patient care needs and provide safe, quality nursing care. In November 1999, the Korean government implemented a new staffing policy that differentiates nursing fees for inpatients based on nurse-to-bed ratios. The purpose was to prevent hospitals from delegating nursing care to family members of patients or paid caregivers, and ultimately deteriorating the quality of nursing care services.

Purpose

To examine nurse staffing levels and related factors including hospital, nursing and medical staff, and financial characteristics.

Methods

A cross-sectional design was employed using two administrative databases, Medical Care Institution Database and Medical Claims Data for May 1-31, 2002. Nurse staffing was graded from 1 to 6, based on grading criteria of nurse-to-bed ratios provided by the policy. The study sample consisted of 42 tertiary and 186 general acute care hospitals.

Results

None of tertiary or general hospitals gained the highest nurse staffing of Grade 1 (i.e., less than 2 beds per nurse in tertiary hospitals; less than 2.5 beds per nurse in general hospitals). Two thirds of the general hospitals had the lowest staffing of Grade 6 (i.e., 4 or more beds per nurse in tertiary hospitals; 4.5 or more beds per nurse in general hospitals). Tertiary hospitals were better staffed than general hospitals, and private hospitals had higher staffing levels compared to public hospitals. Large-sized general hospitals located in metropolitan areas had higher staffing than other general hospitals. Occupancy rate was positively related to nurse staffing. A negative relationship between nursing assistant and nurse staffing was found in general hospitals. A greater number of physician specialists were associated with better nurse staffing.

Conclusions

The staffing policy needs to be evaluated and modified to make it more effective in leading hospitals to increase nurse staffing.

A Comparative Study of how Subjects' Characteristics and Nursing Service Quality Influence on Hospital Revisiting Intent between Patients and Nurses: Mi Aie Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2005;35(7):1210-1220. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2005.35.7.1210

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was aimed to examine how subjects' characteristics and nursing service quality influence hospital revisiting intent, to compare perceptions of patients with those of nurses.

Methods

The questionnaire was developed and distributed to 300 patients and nurses at six general hospitals in a provincial city, Korea. For data analysis, the SPSS/PC program was used.

Results

The nursing service quality's scores of patients is 3.61, that of nurses is 3.77, and there is a significant difference. The hospital revisiting intent's score of patients is 4.84, that of nurses is 4.61, and there are no significant differences. In subjects' characteristics, patients perceive that the hospital is the only different factor, and place hospital revisiting intent at 3.6%. Nurses perceive that education level and position are different factors, and place hospital revisiting intent at 3.3%. In nursing service quality, patients perceive that 2 attributes explain hospital revisiting intent at 17.8% and 2 factors explain it at 16.5%; whereas, nurses perceive that 2 attributes explain hospital revisiting intent at 15.3% and 3 factors explain it at 12.2%.

Conclusions

There are perception gaps between consumers and providers. So nursing and hospital managers must recognize these facts and provide various marketing strategies to overcome them.

The Differences in Quality Perceptions, Expectations, Evaluation, and Satisfaction for Nursing Service between Patients and Nurses: Small-medium Sized General Hospitals: Jeong Hee Kim, In Sook Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(7):1243-1254. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.7.1243

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was performed to give direction to quality improvement strategies of nursing services by comparing the differences in quality perceptions and satisfaction for nursing services between patients and nurses in small-medium sized general hospitals with 200 beds.

Method

The subjects, who were 150 inpatients and 162 nurses of 4 general hospitals in a community, answered a self-report questionnaire with a SERVQUAL scale.

Result

There were differences between patients' and nurses' expectations and perceptions of nursing service and satisfaction. In the service expectation, the highest factor was ‘the responsiveness’, and in the perceived performance, the highest was the ‘assurance’. In addition, overall patients' perceptions on nursing services showed higher than nurses'. There were positive correlations among the expectations and perceptions on nursing service, and satisfaction. The correlation between perception and satisfaction was higher than the correlation between expectations and satisfaction.

Conclusion

To improve the nursing service quality at small-medium hospitals, strengthening the ‘assurance’ factor and improving the nursing service support system is needed. Also, this study on nurses' perceived nursing service at small-medium sized hospitals should be duplicated.

The Development of a Program Promoting the Adjustment and its Effectiveness for School aged Children's Hospital Life: Jina Oh; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(3):525-533. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.3.525

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to develop a program promoting adjustment to hospital life and determining its effectiveness for school aged children.

Method

The sample group consisted of 76 hospitalized children in 2 University Hospitals located in Busan. The experimental group was given the program on admission and feedback was obtained on the 3rd day and again 24 hours later. Data was analyzed using t-test and ANOVA in the SPSS program package.

Result

There were significant differences, in information(t=4.235, p=0.000) and coping effort criteria (t=2.922, p=0.005) between the experimental and control groups. There was a non-significant difference in attitude criteria between the two groups(t=1.009, p=0.316).

Conclusion

It was found that the adjustment promoting program for hospital life for school aged children was effective, but not enough to promote self-esteem. The program, based on a learning theory, was improved and shown to be an effective and strong method to promote adjustment of school-aged children.

Effect of the Exchange of Saline Used in Surgical Procedures on Surgical Site Infection: Ok Yeon Cho, Hae Sang Yoon; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(3):467-476. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.3.467

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the exchange of saline used in surgical procedures on surgical site infections.

METHOD

Patients with stomach cancer were assigned to the experimental group or to the control group by random sampling, respectively. The experimental group received an exchange of saline during the operation right after the excision of the stomach in a gastrectomy but the control group did not. Data were collected from the medical charts of 34 patients from Dec. 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003.

RESULT

The surgical site infection rate of the experimental group was 5.9% while surgical site infection rate of the control group was 17.6%. In total, the surgical site infection rate was 11.8%. The experimental group maintained a normal level of WBC on post operative day 3; however, the control group, showed an increase of WBC on post operative day 3.

Conclusion

The exchange of saline used in an operation immediately after the excision of the stomach in a gastrectomy decreases the contamination level of saline used in the operation, and can prevent surgical patients from a surgical site infection.
