This study is a descriptive research to grasp the effects of nursing performance on emotional labor, job stress and resilience in general hospital nurses. Method: I surveyed them using a structured questionnaire for collecting data from Aug. 20, 2019 to Sep. 2, 2019. The collected data were analyzed by the frequency, the percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's Test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis. Results: The factors affecting nursing performance of the subjects were resilience (β=0.58, p<.001), and current position is head nurse (β=0.21, p<.01), the number of working years at current working place (β=0.18, p<.05). The F statistics for the fit of the estimated regression model was very significant as 30.901(p<.001) and the explanatory power was 42.4%. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that resilience was the most influential factor to nursing performance of general hospital nurses, and the number of working years at current working place was the most influential factor to the performance of head nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop practical programs strengthening resilience of nurses for the improvement of nursing performance and to apply strategies on development.

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%.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore prevalence and causal factors of musculoskeletal diseases on nurses. Methods: This study was an integrated review. Documentations were searched through electric databases using SAGE journals, EBSCOhost, Pubmed, RISS, NDSL and KCI. Terminology for this review was "Nurse" and "Musculoskeletal" and language versions were Korean or English. Number of final articles was 70 (Korean articles were 11 and english versions were 59). Results: Studies related to musculoskeletal diseases on nurses started in Sweden and USA from 1995. Subjects of studies were general hospital nurses in 50 out of 70 studies. Lower back in Korea and waist in other countries were highest areas of muculoskeletal disease's prevalence. Revisable factors of musculoskeletal diseases on nurses included physical, psychosocial and environmental factors that were more than unrevised factors. Conclusion: This study suggests to develop programs for preventing musculoskeletal disease of lower back or waist in general hospitals because of high frequency. Interventions to prevent musculoskeletal diseases need to consider prevalence and quality indicators on nurses.

This study was done to investigate the perception and need of the nutrition counseling of the people living in Daejon. Results were as follows: Nutrition knowledge score increased with education level. It showed tendency that women's scores were higher than men's. Only 15.5% of the participants were experienced in nutrition counseling mostly with medical doctor or nurse in the general hospital. Their satisfaction level was above average, which means positive reaction on nutrition counseling. In the case of the people who paid nutrition counseling fee, they thought that fee level was reasonable. Participants whose education level was higher thought less frequently that the nutrition counseling fee charged currently in the general hospital was expensive. The prevalent contents they want in the nutrition counseling included the prevention and the treatment of the specific disease and food safety (pesticides and food-born illness). As means of nutrition counseling they preferred internet (or PC) and interview. The higher the education status and the less the age, the higher preference, there was for internet or PC. As a source of nutrition knowledge, participants gave high credit on the professional books, academic journals, and advices from dietitian, nutritionist, medical doctor and pharmacist; in the other hand, they gave low credit on the newspaper, magazine, TV or radio, and advices from family or relatives, and friends. They thought most of the adult-onset disease (especially obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes) were closely related to diet. However, percentage of the participants who thought that diet and kidney disease were related was relatively low.

This study was undertaken to obtain information about selected characteristics and the degree of physical disability of patients with a diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident upon their discharge from a general hospital. It was hoped that this information would contribute to the assessment of their needs for follow-up nursing care. Nurse's and Physician's Progress Notes of all stroke patients discharged from five general hospitals in Seoul from January to December 1975 were analysed using a prepared check list. Patients with other complicating diagnosis such as diabetes, tuberculosis or heart disease were excluded from the sample. According to six factors used to grade the total sample of 334 stroke victims degree of physical ability at discharge, 144 (43%) of the Survivors had good functional ability, 72 (22%) fair, 62 (18%) poor, and 57(17%) very Poor. Certain clinical diagnosis correlated with the degree of physical ability. Intra cranial Hemorrhage and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage tended to be related to poor and very poor outcome categories. There was no significant correlation between nae and ability outcome, women had revealed a significantly positive correlation with poor and very poor ability outcomes. The hospitalization period was less than three days for 37.5% of the total group, and more than one month for 4.7%. Those patients with less than three days hospitalization accounted for the highest relationship with poor and very poor ability outcomes. Of the total groups 175(50.99%), were discharged with a diagnosis of condition improved (though not necessarily with good physical ability). The results suggest serious need for comprehensive follow- up nursing care for stroke survivors discharged a from general hospitals in Seoul.
