Data collection was conducted for two months from May 2021 through an online survey through snowball sampling. Data analyzed was using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The variables affecting job satisfaction included direct effect of positive affective events (β=.65, p<.001), and direct effect of positive affectivity (β=.10, p=.038). Job satisfaction (β=.47, p<.001) had statistically significant direct effects on nursing performance. Positive affective events (β=.32, p=.003) and positive affectivity (β=.05, p=.039) had statistically significant indirect effects on nursing performance. These variables explained for 22% of nursing performance. However, emotional labor had no significant effect on job satisfaction and nursing performance. The results indicate that positive affective events and positive affectivity result in high degree of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction would increase the level of nursing performance. Therefore, in order to improve nursing performance, it is necessary to provide educational opportunities and interventions that can promote positive work environment and positive affectivity.

Data collection was conducted before and after 6 weeks of integrated clinical practice for 38 nursing college students from July 19 to September 10, 2021 with a single group pre- and post-design. The collected data were analyzed by frequency, Wilcoxon sign rank, and Pearson correlation using SPSS/Win 23.0. After the integrated clinical practice, 1st program outcomes(Care integration)(Z=-4.63, p<.001), 2nd(Core practice)(Z=-3.99, p<.001), 6th(Critical thinking)(Z=-3.60, p<.001) and 11th(Research practice)(Z=-2.76, p=.005) increased significantly compared to before practice. Since integrated clinical practice was found to be an effective practice to improve program outcomes, it is suggested to actively utilize it as a strategy for improving program outcomes.

This study is a methodological research aimed at developing a program outcome assessment system for 'Utilization of Information and Communication Technology and the Latest Healthcare Technology' as required for nursing education accreditation. To ensure the theoretical validity of the assessment system, Kim's evaluation model (2009) and Zimmaro's rubric development stages (2004) were applied. The program outcome assessment system for information and communication and healthcare technology was developed, encompassing performance criteria, performance level, achievement goals, curriculum, evaluation methods, criteria, and the Close-the-Loop. The resulting assessment system is anticipated to be effectively utilized in nursing education, demonstrating broad applicability. This study is significant in providing specific directions for the development of program outcome assessment systems in undergraduate nursing programs.

This study examined the relationship between the happiness, empowerment, and nursing performance of nurses with more than one-year of clinical experience, and the factors affecting the nursing performance. The subjects were 164 nurses who worked in two general hospitals in Incheon and Chungcheong-do, Korea. Data were collected from October to November 2018. The main findings of this study were as follows. The mean scores for happiness, empowerment, and nursing performance were 3.07±0.36, 3.37±0.43, and 3.40±0.44 points. Happiness was positively correlated with empowerment (r=.58, p<.01) and nursing performance (r=.58, p<.01), empowerment was positively correlated with the nursing performance (r=.58, p<.01). The factors influencing the nursing performance were empowerment (β=.65, p<.001), total length of a clinical career (β=.19, p<.001), education level (β=.12, p<.05), and happiness (β=.12, p=.05), showing an explanatory power of 64%. Based on these results, it is necessary to provide sufficient human and physical resources to improve the nursing performance and manage the organizational level to increase the nurses' happiness and empowerment. To improve the work performance of nurses, an empowerment improvement program tailored to the clinical experience and educational level should be developed, and the working environment that can increase the nurse's happiness should be improved.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship amongst emotional labor, communication competence, resilience, and clinical nursing performance of university hospital nurses, and to identify the influencing factors on job performance of clinical nurses who work at two university hospitals. The data was collected using questionnaires from 216 nurses in February 2016. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression using IBM SPSS 22. There were differences in communication competence (F=3.679, p=.003), resilience (F=7.909, p<.003), and nursing performance (F=2.331, p=.044) correlates with the frequency of leisure activity. The significant relationships were found among age (r=.242, p<.001), years of service (r=.278, p<.001), emotional labor (r=.211, p=.002), communication competence (r=.585, p<.001), and resilience (r=.431, p<.001) with nursing performance in university hospital nurses. The result of the stepwise multiple regression indicates that communication competence and years of service predict 40.9% (F=75.356, p<.001) in nursing performance of university hospital nurses. The most powerful predictor was communication competence (${\beta}=.581$, p<.001), followed by years of service (${\beta}=.268$, p<.001). In conclusion, to enhance nursing performance for university hospital nurses, it is necessary to develop and utilize educational programs that enhance the communication competence and to develop strategies to support leisure activities for university hospital nurses.
