PURPOSE: This study was designed to construct a structural equation model and identify the effects and relationships of self-efficacy, career plateau, job embeddedness, organizational commitment and intent to turnover for nurses. Also, an attempt was made to derive a hypothetical model from these factors and to verify whether the model has validity as a means of explaining and anticipating turnover intention of nurses. METHODS: Data were collected from six randomly selected hospitals: a university hospital located in J city, Kyungnam and five general hospitals located in two cities (cities B and C), each having 400 to 720 beds. Also, 318 nurses were surveyed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0 program. RESULTS: Job embeddedness and organizational commitment were identified as the most likely paths to turn over intention. Also, organizational commitment had the highest direct effect on turnover intention followed by job embeddedness and then self-efficacy, but career plateau had an indirectly effected turnover intention. CONCLUSION: As turnover intention was found to be greatly affected by organizational commitment and job embeddedness, methods to improve organizational commitment and job embeddedness should be actively developed to reduce turnover intention among nurses.

PURPOSE: The occurrence of shigellosis patients has increased radically in 2 recent years. For this, the authors investigated the epidemic aspect of shigellosis by regional groups to know whether the epidemic aspect of shigellosis is a general situation which occurs identically in various areas of Kyung Nam. METHODS: We reviewed pediatric patients who were hospitalized in Ulsan(eastern), in Masan(cen tral), in Chinju(western) of Kyung Nam from January, 1988 to April, 1999. RESULTS: A total of 54 cases of shigellosis were noted from Ulsan(12), Masan(21) and Chinju(21) over ten years. The number of patients was 1 each in 1991 and 1993, 5 each in 1998 and 1999 at Ulasan, 9 in 1988, 8 between 1990 and 1995, 3 in 1998, 1 in 1999 at Masan, 1 each in 1990, 1991, 1994, 4 in 1998, 14 in 1999 at Chinju. The shigellosis patients increased from 1998, especially in Chinju. S. flexneri was reported in Masan(AMP)(R)5, AMP+TMP/SMX(R)4) before 1990, in Masan (2) between 1990 and 1995 and in Chinju(AMP(R)7, AMP+MP/SMX(R)1) in 1999. S. sonnei was reported in Ulsan(AMP(R)1, TMP/SMX(R)1), in Masan(6) and in Chinju(AMP(R)2, TMP/SMX(R) 1) between 1990 and 1995 and in Ulsan(TMP/SMX(R)9, AMP+TMP/SMX(S)1), in Masan(TMP/ SMX(R)2, AMP+TMP/SMX(R)1+(S)1) and in Chinju(TMP/SMX(R)6) between 1998 and 1999. CONCLUSION: Independent of the past, shigellosis patients occurred by regional groups in three parts of Kyung Nam. The present epidemic aspect of the eastern area is similar to that of the central area, but is partially similar to that of western Kyung Nam.

PURPOSE: This study was done to investigate new graduate nurses' perceptions of nursing professionalism, job involvement and turnover intention and to identify factors influencing turnover intention in new graduate nurses. METHODS: Participants were 179 new graduate nurses working in general hospitals and small and medium-sized hospitals in Gyungnam province. Data were collected from August 10 to September 16, 2015 through a survey with self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: Mean scores were; for nursing professionalism, 3.62±0.73, for job commitment, 3.22±0.89. and for turnover intention, 3.25±0.95. There were significant correlations between nursing professionalism and job involvement (r=.47, p<.001), nursing professionalism and turnover intention (r=-.36, p<.001), job involvement and turnover intention (r=-.46, p<.001). For turnover intention of new graduates 25.1% of the variance was explained by nursing professionalism (β=-.16, p=.034), job involvement (β=-.36, p<.001), and frequency of night shifts (β=.03, p=.022). CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that nursing professionalism and job involvement of new graduate nurses had significant influence on their turnover intention. Therefore, to reduce turnover intention of new graduate nurses, it is necessary to enhance their nursing professionalism and job involvement with organizational supports.
