Purpose: This study aimed to identify the type of Sanhujori subjectivity experienced by husbands of pregnant women, and analyzed the characteristics of each type. Method: Q-methodology was used and 207 statements were extracted. Finally, 37 Q-samples were derived and 40 P-samples used the 9-point scale to distribute statements. Data were collected from March-May 2018 and analyzed using PC-QUANL program. Results: The analysis of factor weights and variables showed that 48.0% of the total variance was explained by three types of subjectivity, namely, 'couple-centered pursuit of women's health', 'expecting emotional recovery and requiring social support', and 'each family makes their own family system' for which the explanatory powers were 38.1%, 5.8%, and 4.1%, respectively. Conclusion: This study is meaningful as it explores Sanhujori from the viewpoint of husbands; its findings can be used to both evaluate Sanhujori service in Korea and provide basic data to develop convergent services for Sanhujori.

Purpose: In this descriptive study, we aimed to identify factors influencing safe nursing activities of nurses working at public hospitals. Methods: We collected data in March 2021 through an online survey. The subjects were 199 nurses who had worked for at least six months at public hospitals. The self-reported questionnaire consisted of items pertaining to safe nursing activities, perception of patient safety culture, and the general characteristics of the subjects. To examine the differences in the safe nursing activities and perception of patient safety culture by general characteristics, we employed a t-test and ANOVA. We conducted a multiple linear regression analysis to explore the factors affecting safe nursing activities. Results: The mean score for safe nursing activity was 4.59±0.39. Perception of patient safety culture and age group were found to be the main factors affecting the safe nursing activities of nurses working at public hospitals (F=17.24, p<.001, Adj. R²=.40). When the score for perception of patient safety culture increased by 1 point, the score for safe nursing activities increased by 0.58 points. In addition, the score for safe nursing activity in the 40s age group was 0.16 points higher than for those in the 20s age group. Conclusion: Effective management and leadership in public hospitals is needed to improve the culture of patient safety at various levels so as to ensure safe nursing activities.

Influenced by a culture that prefers non-face-to-face activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, chatbot usage is accelerating. Chatbots have been used for various purposes, not only for customer service in businesses and social conversations for fun but also for mental health. Chatbots are a platform where users can easily talk about their depressed moods because anonymity is guaranteed. However, most relevant research has been on social media data, especially Twitter data, and few studies have analyzed the commercially used chatbots data. In this study, we identified the characteristics of depressive discourse in user-chatbot interaction data by analyzing the chats, including the word 'depress,' using the topic modeling algorithm and the text-mining technique. Moreover, we compared its characteristics with those of the depressive moods in the Twitter data. Finally, we draw several design guidelines and suggest avenues for future research based on the study findings.

Participants consisted of 150 nurses with 13 to 36 month clinical careers at a hospital located in D, C and K city, Korea. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression, using IBM SPSS WIN 20.0. The average score was 3.34 (${\pm}0.53$) for ego resilience, 2.28 (${\pm}0.44$) for sense of calling, 3.88 (${\pm}0.58$) for teamwork, 3.36 (${\pm}0.42$) for organizational culture, and 5.27 (${\pm}1.38$) for retention intention. Retention intention was positively correlated with ego resilience (r=0.211, p<0.05), sense of calling (r=0.338, p<0.001), teamwork (r=0.284, p<0.001) and organizational culture (r=0.215, p<0.01). Regression analysis revealed that sense of calling and teamwork explained 11.4% (${\beta}=0.284$, p<0.001) and 4.2% (${\beta}=0.212$ p<0.001) of the retention intention of advanced beginner-stage nurses, respectively, and these variables together explained 15.6% of the retention intention of advanced beginner-stage nurses. The results of this study will improve retention intention of advanced beginner-stage nurses and facilitate development a management program and execution strategy that helps improve sense of calling and teamwork, especially that of friendly social orientation and mutual cooperation.
