Objectives:
This study aimed to explore factors influencing satisfaction with medical services among medically underserved populations at the free medical clinic, providing data to improve free medical services for these populations.
Methods:
We employed a descriptive correlational study design involving 112 individuals (aged 19 years and older) from medically underserved populations who visited the clinic. Data were collected through face-to-face surveys from September to October 2023, and statistical analyses (t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression) were used to identify key predictors of satisfaction.
Results:
Perceived support from healthcare providers emerged as the strongest predictor ofsatisfaction with medical services, demonstrating a significant positive association. While socialsupport was positively correlated with perceived support from healthcare providers, it did not independently predict satisfaction.
Conclusion
These findings underscore the importance of healthcare provider and social supportin increasing satisfaction with medical services among medically underserved populations.Developing tailored healthcare programs and specialized healthcare provider training are essential strategies to improve healthcare access and outcomes for these vulnerable groups.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2025;31(1):64-74
Purpose:
The study aims to confirm the mediating effect of nursing professional pride in the relationship between nursing practice environment, nursing performance, and retention intention.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 13 to 31, 2021, involving 127 nurses. The following statistical analysis was conducted: t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and Hayes Process Macro Model 4 (to test the mediating effect).
Results:
Nursing practice environment showed a significant positive correlation with nursing performance, retention intention, and nursing professional pride. Nursing practice performance showed a positive correlation with retention intention and nursing professional pride, and retention intention showed a significant positive correlation with nursing professional pride. The mediating effect of nursing professional pride was found in the effect of nurses' nursing practice environment on their retention intention. In addition, the mediating effect of nursing professional pride was found in the effect of nurses' nursing practice performance on their retention intention.
Conclusion
Through this study, it was confirmed that nursing professional pride is a major A factor affecting retention intention in the hospital. Therefore, in order to increase nurses' retention intention to remain in Hospital, the basis of basic data was presented for strategy development.

Through the use of intraoral scanners, it is possible to obtain intraoral scan impressions and produce prostheses. This approach isalso being attempted not only in dentate patients but also in edentulous patients. However, obtaining scans of edentulous areas can be more challenging than scanning dental areas, and there may be limitations, especially in capturing the details of the mucosal tissues. On the other hand, when obtaining impressions with intraoral scanners, simultaneous recording of the occlusal relationship of the maxilla and mandible can reduce the number of patient visits and expedite the restoration process. In this case, we aimed to combine the advantages of direct intraoral scanning and indirect digital impressions obtained after traditional impression-taking by merging two types of scan files. Consequently, in patients with partially edentulous arches, we sought to provide effective in-terim prostheses through direct and indirect digital model impressions and report our findings accordingly.
