Purpose: This study systematically reviewed and synthesized the evidence on the effectiveness of mobile health (mHealth) interventions in improving medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: This systematic review included randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of mHealth interventions on medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular disease. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Embase were searched for peer-reviewed studies and grey literature published in English between January 1, 2013, and July 31, 2025. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. R software ver. 4.5.2 was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results: Fifty-two studies were included in the systematic review, of which 20 were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular disease receiving mHealth interventions, with a moderate to large effect size (Hedges’ g=0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.20–1.25; p<.001), despite substantial heterogeneity (I2=97%). However, a considerable proportion of the included studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias, which may limit the internal validity of the findings. Subgroup analyses indicated that the effects of mHealth interventions on medication adherence did not differ significantly according to intervention type, duration, or outcome measurement tools. Conclusion mHealth interventions appear to be effective in improving medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular disease. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution because of the high risk of bias and substantial heterogeneity among the included studies. Future research should explore the use of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, to address medication non-adherence (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023450502).

Purpose: This study investigated the factors influencing organizational socialization in new nurses, with a focus on job stress, resilience, and nursing performance. Methods: The study participants comprised 139 new nurses with less than 12 months of experience, who worked at two certified tertiary hospitals. Data were collected from August 29 to September 11, 2023 through a self-report questionnaire. For data analysis, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used. Results: The mean scores of job stress, resilience, nursing performance, and organizational socialization of new nurses were 67.97±6.19, 111.24±12.76, 59.40±6.53, and 124.40±15.88, respectively. The factors affecting organizational socialization in new nurses were job stress (β=-.49, p<.001), nursing performance (β=.21, p<.001), job satisfaction (β=.17, p=.005), placement in the wanted department (β=.12, p=.012), and salary satisfaction (β=.12, p=.021). These factors explained 71.1% of variance in organizational socialization. Conclusion The study findings suggest the need to develop and apply a better program for improving organizational socialization among new nurses.

Purpose: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to develop a media-based reproductive health promotion program (MRHPP) among male high school students and to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: The ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model) was used to develop the MRHPP based on Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior. The research was conducted using a non-equivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design (experimental group=23; control group=22). The program consisted of six sessions and was conducted twice a week. The participants were assessed through a pre-test, post-test immediately after training (post-test 1), and follow-up after 4 weeks (post-test 2) by using questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: The analysis of the group-by-time interaction showed statistically significant differences in attitudes toward reproductive health behavior (RHB) (F=4.09, p=.049), subjective norms of RHB (F=5.31, p=.026), and intention to engage in RHB (F=3.78, p=.016). The effect sizes for attitudes, subjective norms, and intention to engage in RHB ranged from 0.75 (medium) to 1.02 (large) (p<.001) at post-test 1, and those for attitudes and subjective norms of RHB ranged from 0.36 (small) to 0.69 (medium) (p<.001) at post-test 2. Conclusion The MRHPP was demonstrated to be an effective intervention for promoting reproductive health behavior among male high school students.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting graduate nurses’ intention to care for emerging infectious disease patients based on the theory of rational action. Methods: The participants were 127 graduate nurses who had graduated from in Gyeongsangbuk Province. Data were collected from March 25 to April 1, 2022. Descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The mean scores for attitudes, subjective norms, and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases were 30.60±5.49, 30.17 ±6.38, and 69.19±8.97, respectively. Nursing intention was significantly different according to major satisfaction (t=-3.02, p=.003) and the presence of medical personnel in the family (t=2.30, p=.023). Nursing intention had a significant positive correlation with attitudes (r=.44, p<.001) and subjective norms (r=.37, p<.001). The variables that significantly affected nursing intention were attitudes (β=.42, p<.001), satisfaction with the nursing major (β=.21, p=.008), and the presence of medical personnel in the family (β=.17, p=.026), with a total explanatory power of approximately 26%. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that the development and application of programs on positively changing attitudes toward patients with emerging infectious diseases and increasing satisfaction with the nursing major are needed.

Purpose: This study explored the experiences of recording electronic nursing notes among ward nurses in the hospital. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 nurses at two university hospitals in Daegu between November 2022 and April 2023. Hsieh and Shannon’s conventional content analysis method was applied, and MAXQDA was used for the analysis. Results: Three categories were identified from the data, with 12 subcategories and 46 codes. The three categories were as follows: utility, limitations to effective use, and seeking a way to expand functions efficiently. Conclusion Records involving electronic nursing notes played a very important role in patient care and legal protection, as well as serving as a guide to nursing diagnosis, a source of pride, and a resource with convenient functions. Areas for improvement relate to awareness, burden, discomfort, disparities, and obstacles to record-keeping. A more efficient record system needs to be established, with corresponding education. Furthermore, hospital administrators should provide policy support to improve the quality of nursing records.
