Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing nurses’ grit, organizational communication satisfaction, and job embeddedness on their organizational commitment. Methods: Data were collected from 174 nurses working in general hospitals in B City, South Korea. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were performed using IBM SPSS/WIN 29.0. Results: Factors influencing organizational commitment included persistence to achieve long-term goals (β=.21, p=.004), organizational climate (β=.23, p=.003), fit (β=.40, p<.001), special unit (β=-.09, p=.045), and clinical career of 1 to 3 years (β=.15, p=.046). The explanatory power of the regression model was 65.7% (F=21.73, p<.001). Conclusion To enhance organizational commitment, nurses should remain focused on achieving long-term goals despite task difficulties. Organizations should not only foster a supportive work environment and establish a positive climate for organizational communication, but also consider the alignment of nurses’ job embeddedness.

Purpose: : This study aimed to investigate the impact of clinical reasoning competence, positive psychological capital, and nursing work environment on nursing performance of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in tertiary general hospitals. Methods: : Data were collected from 169 ICU nurses in tertiary general hospitals in Busan, South Korea, from July 27 to August 15, 2023, using a self-report questionnaire. After excluding 12 questionnaires with insufficient responses, 157 responses were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were employed. Results: : Factors influencing nursing performance included clinical reasoning competence (β=.51, p ＜.001), hope as a subfactor of positive psychological capital (β=.31, p ＜.001), and the nursing foundations for quality of care in the nursing work environment (β=.21, p ＜.001). The explanatory power of the regression model was 62% (F=87.41, p ＜ .001). Conclusion : The study underscores the importance of improving clinical reasoning competence among ICU nurses to enhance nursing performance and foster a hopeful attitude through reflective practices and personal growth. Organizational interventions, such as educational and psychological support programs, along with creating a supportive nursing environment, are crucial for improving nursing performance among intensive care unit nurses.

Purpose: : In this study, we aimed to assess the impacts of grit, patient safety competence, and patient safety culture on the patient safety nursing activities of nurses in comprehensive nursing service wards. Methods: : Here, a self-reported survey of 179 nurses from three tertiary hospitals was performed. Data from 171 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analyses. Results: : The key sub-factors influencing the patient safety nursing activities were attitude (β=.30, p ＜.001) and skill (β=.26, p ＜.001) in the patient safety competence factor and safety environment (β=.26, p ＜.001) in the patient safety culture factor. The regression model explained 42.7% of the variance in patient safety nursing activities (F=43.29, p ＜.001). Conclusion : Overall, these findings highlight the importance of improving the nurse attitude and skills related to patient safety as well as the safety environment in hospitals to enhance the patient safety nursing activities in comprehensive nursing service wards. Targeted educational and training programs should be provided along with organizational support to establish a safe and supportive nursing environment in comprehensive nursing service wards.

Purpose: : This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the professional quality of life of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses working in university hospitals. Methods: : A survey was conducted on 171 ICU nurses in university hospitals in B City, South Korea. This study used the Professional Quality of Life instrument, which consists of three subscales, namely, compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: : Compassion satisfaction was influenced by resilience, ICU job satisfaction, and innovation-oriented culture, and these variables explained 37.1% of the variance in compassion satisfaction. Burnout was influenced by resilience, a hierarchy-oriented culture, and ICU job satisfaction, and these variables explained 42.9% of the variance in burnout. Secondary traumatic stress was influenced by a task-oriented culture and resilience, and these variables explained 12.5% of the variance in secondary traumatic stress. Conclusion : These findings suggest the importance of improving resilience and job satisfaction to enhance the professional quality of life in ICU nurses. Moreover, creating an innovation-oriented culture rather than a hierarchical and task-oriented culture can effectively improve the professional quality of life of ICU nurses.

Purpose: : This study examined the effects of work environment and organizational culture on tertiary hospital nurses’ turnover intention.
Methods: : A cross-sectional design was used, with a convenience sample of 371 hospital nurses from 16 units of three tertiary hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected through a self-report survey conducted during September and October 2016. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis.
Results: : A total of 43.7% of the participants were identified as having turnover intention within 1 year. Factors related to turnover intention among hospital nurses were age, marital status, and total clinical career. Furthermore, a relationship-oriented organizational culture showed a negative association with turnover intention.
Conclusion : These findings suggest it is important to provide appropriate motivational programs and incentives for nurses according to their clinical career to decrease turnover intention. Moreover, establishing a relationship-oriented organizational culture will also help to reduce the turnover intention of tertiary hospital nurses.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an educational informatics system for nursing faculty to improve their competencies in teaching patient safety and to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Methods: We developed a system called, ‘Resource to Enhance Safety Competency and Utilize for Education’ (RESCUE) based on the World Health Organization Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, and it was implemented with full-time nursing faculty in 4-year nursing schools. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used for evaluation. A total of 46 nursing faculty members used the system during a 3-month period. The effects of the RESCUE were measured using a survey including patient safety teaching competency, system usability and user satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: After using the RESCUE, participants showed a significant increase in self-confidence in teaching patient safety during lectures (Z=-3.61, p<.001) and practica (Z=-3.14, p=.002). Conclusion The developed informatics system was shown to be effective in improving the self-confidence of nursing faculty in teaching patient safety. To effectively integrate patient safety topics into the curriculum, it can be helpful to utilize the educational materials provided in this study with various clinical cases.
