PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting general hospital nurses' intention to stay in their jobs. METHODS: A descriptive research design was used with a convenience sample of 286 nurses. Data were collected from March 15 to April 14, 2017using self-reported questionnaires and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS: The mean scores for intention to stay, resilience, and emotional labor were 5.28 out of 8, 57.40 out of 100, and 3.23 out of 5, respectively. Intention to stay was positively correlated with overall career (r=.30), workplace (r=.18), shift work (r=−.20), position (r=.28), salary (r=.13), job satisfaction (r=.51), hospital satisfaction (r=.46), and resilience (r=.41). Factors influencing the intention to stay were job satisfaction and resilience, which explained 28% of the variance. CONCLUSION Overall career, job satisfaction, and resilience are critical factors affecting general hospital nurses' intention to stay. Based on the findings of this study, efforts to improve nurses' job satisfaction and resilience should be implemented to mitigate the loss of this expert group among healthcare professionals.

A case of chronic granulomatous infection of Fsarium solani had decreased response to recalled antigens and lacked of dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB) sensitization in vivo. He has had frequent attacks of common cold-like symptoms and same attacks were very suggestive of pneumonia but he relatively healthy until he developed cutaneous Fusarium infection. Recently he also developed herpes zoster.

This study aimed to evaluate the refractive and visual results of the cases temporally overcorrected after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Among 582 myopic eyes that underwent LASIK using VISX STAR from March 1997 to October 1998, 105 eyes were overcorrected more than one diopter (D) one week after LASIK. 105 eyes were divided into three groups according to their spherical equivalent (SE) at one week: Group l (> or = 3D, 9 eyes), group ll (2-2.9D, 14 eyes), and group lll (1-1.9D, 82 eyes).Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), SE, and complications were studied one day, one week, two months, and six months after LASIK. The mean preoperative SE was -11.17 +/-2.57D in group l,-9.40 +/-2.91D in group lland -8.09 +/-1.92D in group lll. At 6 months, the mean SE was 1.81 +/-1.61D, 0.04 +/-0.43D and -0.37 +/-0.76D in group l, ll and lll, respectively. The mean regression of SE from one day to six months was 1.85D, 2.27D and 1.73D in group l,ll and lll, respectively (p>0.05). The proportion of eyes that lost two or more lines of UCVA after LASIK compared to preoperative BCVA was 33.3% in group l, 10% in group ll, and 9.2% in group lll. There were central island (5 eyes), capsular wrinkling (3 eyes), free cap (1 eye), subepithelal metalic debris (1 eye), epithelial ingrowth (1 eye)as complications in all groups. With these results it might be concluded that hyperopia less than 3D one week after LASIK is temporary and disappears 6 months after surgery without any additional treatment, whereas hyperopia equal or more than 3D one week after LASIK still showed hyperopic refraction even after 6 months. Therefore, these eyes need further evaluation for the correction of hyperopia.

The small-incision cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with foldable posterior chamber lens implantation have recently permitted new options for combined trabeculectomy with cataract extraction. In the present study, we performed phacoemulsification and foldable intraocular lens implantation using small clear corneal incision in 20 patients with 22 glaucomatous eyes who had previously undergone trabeculectomy and determined its effects on visual acuity, intraocular pressure, the number of medications applied, and status of the filtering blebs. The mean follow-up period was 10.1 months and the mean time interval between the two surgeries was 14.7 months. The mean best corrected visual acuity was 0.19 preoperatively and 0.60 postoperatively and the postoperative visual acuity had improved in 19 eyes(86.4%). The mean(+/-standard deviation, SD) preoperative IOP was 16.7+/-5.88 mmHg and the mean(+/-SD) postoperative IOP at final visit was 15.5+/-4.07 mmHg. Postoperatively, the IOPs remained well controlled in 20 eyes(90.9%) without additional ocular hypotensives and required additional medications for control in 2 eyes(9.09%). And the funictioning bleb failures occurred in 5 eyes(22.7%). We found the procedure to be effective in restoring vision while controlling intraoperative pressure and preserving the filtering blebs.
