The purpose of this study is a descriptive research study to identify the emotional labor, ethical climate, job satisfaction, and retention intention of nurses in general hospitals, and to identify the relationship between variables and factors influencing the retention intention. The study subjects were 198 nurses working in four general hospitals, and data were collected from September 18 to September 30, 2019 using a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using SPSS WIN 25.0. As a result of the study, there was a positive correlation between ethical climate(r=.345, p<.001) and job satisfaction(r=.388, p<.001), but emotional labor (r=-.153, p=.031) showed negative correlation. Factors influencing the retention intention of general hospital nurses are job satisfaction(β=.27, p=.001), age(β=.27, p<001), ethical climate(β=.16, p=044), and the explanatory power of the variable was 24.2%. In order to increase the retention intention of general hospital nurses, it is necessary to increase job satisfaction and create a sound ethical climate, and to develop an intervention program that can increase the retention intention by age.

This study aimed to identify the factors that influence depression in stressed adults by age. Data were extracted from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, covering 3,333 adults aged 20 to 59 years who were highly aware of stress. Linear regression analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS 25.0 program. The study found that in the case of people in their 20s, education level, health-related quality of life, obesity, weight change, smoking, and subjective body type were significant influencing factors, with an explanatory power of 60.3%. In the case of people in their 30s, gender, household income level, living with spouse, economic activity, health-related quality of life, food intake, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, and subjective health were significant influencing factors, with an explanatory power of 30.3%. For people in their 40s, household income level, living with spouse, economic activity, health-related quality of life, smoking, aerobic exercise, and subjective health were significant influencing factors, with an explanatory power of 34.4%. For people in their 50s, gender, education level, income, economic activity, health-related quality of life, protein intake, fat intake, high blood pressure, diabetes, weight control, aerobic exercise, subjective health, and subjective body type were significant influencing factors, with an explanatory power of 42.3%. Therefore, as it was found through this study that the factors affecting depression in stressed adults differ by age, it is necessary to establish an intervention strategy for each age when trying to lower depression in stressed adults.

The result of analyzing the correlation academic stress was negatively correlated with learning flow (r=-.464, p<.010), academic self-efficacy (r=-.522, p<.010), and academic achievement (r=-.379, p<.010), but learning satisfaction was not correlated with academic stress. Variables affecting academic stress were major satisfaction (𝛽=.367, p<.01), learning flow (𝛽=-.186, p<.05), and academic self-efficacy (𝛽=-.241, p<.05), and the explanatory power for academic stress was 40%. The results of this study can be used as basic data for intervention programs for relieving academic stress of nursing students.
