Purpose: This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of organizational communication on the relationship between organizational justice and the work engagement of clinical nurses. Methods: This study included 186 nurses from 6 small and medium-sized hospitals. Data were collected from September 1 to October 31, 2023 using self-report questionnaires and were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 25.0. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Multiple regression analysis based on the three-step mediation effect verification procedures proposed by Baron and Kenny, and the mediating effect was confirmed using bootstrapping and verified using the SPSS PROCESS macro model 4. Results: Organizational communication had perfect mediating effects on the relationship between organizational justice and work engagement (indirect effect=0.35). Conclusion Based on the results of this study, to improve the work engagement of clinical nurses, institutional efforts to improve the justice of nursing organizations and effective strategies are needed to develop and apply programs to enhance organizational communication competency.

Objectives: ：This study aims to confirm the effectiveness of a school-based very-short-term dialectical be-havior therapy-skills training (DBT-ST) program for preventing self-harm among children and adolescents, considering factors such as age, sex, self-harm history, and methods of program implementation. Methods: ：The study was conducted from September 2021 to December 2023, targeting 1,012 elementary and middle school students in the Chungcheong region. Changes in responses to the Depressed Mood Questionnaire(RDQ), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-16 (DERS-16), ‘future self-harm possibility’ scores wereanalyzed and compared before and after the program, based on age, sex, self-harm history, and methods of program implementation. Results: ：Overall, participants showed a decrease in the ‘rumination(RDQ) scale’ (t=10.49, p<0.001), ‘reversescored distraction (RDQ)’ (t=10.67, p<0.001) and the total DERS-16 (t=5.56, p<0.001) as well as a decrease in ‘future self-harm possibility’ score (t=4.26, p<0.001). Both elementary and middle school students showed decrease in ’rumination (RDQ)’ and distraction (RDQ), but only middle school students showed a decrease in theDERS-16 and most sub-scales. Regardless of sex, self-harm history, or methods of program implementation, adecrease in ’rumination (RDQ)’, distraction (RDQ) and the total DERS-16 scale and most sub-scales decreased. Conclusions ：Our program appears to be effective as a primary prevention program for preventing self-harm among children and adolescents in a school setting.

Purpose: : This study was conducted to identify the relationship between transition shock and intention to stay among newly graduated nurses and the mediating effect of positive psychological capital. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included a total of 155 newly graduated nurses at one hospital, recruited from June to September 2023. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro model 4. Results: There were significant relationships between transition shock and intention to stay (r=-.47, p ＜.001), transition shock and positive psychological capital (r=-.64, p ＜.001), and positive psychological capital and intention to stay (r=.51, p ＜.001). Positive psychological capital showed a mediating effect in the relationship between transition shock and intention to stay among newly graduated nurses. Conclusion These results indicated that transition shock directly affected newly graduated nurses’ intention to stay, indirectly affecting it through positive psychological capital. Therefore, programs and strategies to reduce transition shock and increase positive psychological capital are needed in order to improve newly graduated nurses’ intention to stay.
