PURPOSE: This study was designed to assess the types of nursing organizational culture, and degree of self-leadership and burnout as perceived by perioperative nurses, and to identify correlations between these variables. METHODS: Participants were 155 nurses from 3 tertiary hospitals in Seoul and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffé, and Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: In the types of nursing organizational culture, the mean score for hierarchy-oriented culture was 3.57, and for self-leadership, 3.61 and for burnout, 2.87. In the relationship between the types of nursing organizational culture, self-leadership and burnout, relation-oriented culture (r=.24, p<.01), innovation-oriented culture (r=.23, p<.01) and task-oriented culture (r=.22, p<.01) had a slight positive correlation with self-leadership in that order. The innovation-oriented culture (r=-.29, p<.01) and relation-oriented culture (r=-.42, p<.01) among the types of nursing organizational culture showed a negative correlation with burnout while the hierarchy-oriented culture (r=.28, p<.01) showed a positive correlation with burnout. Self-leadership showed a negative correlation with burnout (r=-.42, p<.01). CONCLUSION: The results show that nurses in operating rooms have a high awareness of hierarchy-oriented culture that affects burnout in a negative way while having a low awareness of relation-oriented culture that has a positive influence on burnout.

Background:
and Purpose There is no specific indicator for monitoring dementia management. We propose an auxiliary indicator called the community management rate, defined as the proportion of dementia patients who receive informal care from close caregivers or themselves within their community population. The 5-year community management rate is the percentage of dementia patients who are receiving community management at 5 years after they were diagnosed. The aim of this study was to identify how the community management rate has changed over time and how the 5-year community management rate differs according to age, sex, income, residence area, and comorbidities.
Methods:
We analyzed customized research database of the Korean National Health Insurance Services from 2003 to 2018. The 5-year community management rate was calculated annually with newly diagnosed dementia patients, and compared among subgroups according to age, sex, income, residence area, and comorbidities.
Results:
This study analyzed 549,297 patients. Among those newly diagnosed with dementia in 2003, the mean duration of community management during the 15-year follow-up was 5.98 years. The community management rate decreased rapidly from 2003 to 2006, after which it increased. A low 5-year community management rate was associated with older age, higher comorbidity burden, nonmetropolitan residence, and low income.
Conclusions
The community management rate seems to reflect diverse patient factors. Efforts are needed to reduce the comorbidity burden and differences in the 5-year community management rate according to residence area and income. This study indicates the need for further investigations into the use of this indicator to monitor the management of dementia patients.
