METHODS: Participants were 1,033 new nurses with careers of less than 12 months and who were from 43 general hospitals located in Seoul, Incheon, other metropolitan cities and provinces in Korea. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. RESULTS: Relation-oriented culture was scored highest for perception of organizational culture by new nurses (3.35), followed by hierarchy-oriented culture (3.19), innovation-oriented culture (3.12), and task-oriented culture (2.73). The score for resilience of the new nurses was 3.49, and the first subcategories were interpersonal relationship ability 3.66, self-positivity 3.45, and self-control ability 3.36. Relation-oriented culture (β=.30, p < .001) was the most significant factor influencing resilience of new nurses, followed by innovation-oriented culture (β=.14, p=.001), hierarchy-oriented culture (β=.12, p < .001), task-oriented culture (β=−.10, p=.003) in that order (R2(adj. R2)=.16, F=47.04, p < .001). CONCLUSION: Findings show that for improved resilience in new nurses it is necessary to develop relation-oriented culture to provide a cooperative work environment( friendly interpersonal relation and dialogue) for new nurses and to encourage involvement of these members in the hospital culture.

After recruiting students to participate, the program was developed after a pre-meeting with the students about the components of the program. The program was on August 9th -13th , 2021. After the program, satisfaction surveys, in-depth interviews, and participant diaries were analyzed. Results: : Satisfaction of the global nursing competency promoting program was an average of 4.10±0.96 for the program application process and 4.36±0.84 for program effectiveness and 4.43±1.07 for the global mind. As a result of qualitative data analysis, 8 subject areas and 26 categories were derived. It was divided into program elements and students’ changes, four in each element. In the students’ changes elements, curiosity and fear before the program, active attitude and open mind through friends’ encouragement, curiosity arising from the same experience and different perspectives, and developing friendship from responsibility were included.

Purpose: This quasi-experimental study aimed to investigate the effects of gymnastics-based nursing intervention on stress, obesity, and mental health confidence in patients with chronic mental illness.
Methods: The study utilized the non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design and recruited sixty patients with chronic mental illness who were registered at one of the two mental rehabilitation centers in D metropolitan city. Data were collected from May 2017 to August 2017. The experimental intervention was a gymnastics-based program developed by the main investigator based on Bandura’s self-efficacy theory. The program was administered twice a week for a total of 16 sessions.
Results: This study showed that subjective stress responses (z=-3.47, p=.001), physiological stress responses (z=-2.90, p=.004), body weight (F=3.55, p=.032), abdominal circumference (t=-2.19, p=.032), and optimism in the mental health confidence domain (t=2.27, p=.027) were significantly different in the experimental group and control group. But, results showed that body fat percentage (F=0.91, p=.406) was not significantly different in the experimental group and control group.
Conclusion The gymnastics-based nursing intervention was effective in reducing stress, body weight, and abdominal circumference, and improving optimism in the mental health confidence domain in patients with chronic mental illness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a program for reinforcing the resilience of new nurses and relation-oriented organizational culture. Methods An Intervention Research (IR) model was used to develop a program. Literature review, focus group interviews with nurses and need surveys were conducted from August to December 2018.
