Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between knowledge of dementia care, attitude toward dementia and person-centered care among nurses in geriatric hospitals. Methods: Participants were 115 nurses from the seven geriatric hospitals. Data were collected from September $5^{th}$ through $21^{st}$ in 2018 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Person-centered care was significantly different according to satisfaction with income, career of geriatric hospital, application of their opinions, and the satisfaction with hospital managers, administrators and nurse managers. Also person-centered care showed a significant positive correlation with the attitude toward dementia. Predictors of person-centered care were the satisfaction with hospital managers and the attitude toward dementia, which explained 23.0% of the variance. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the attitude toward dementia and the satisfaction with the hospital organization were related to the person-centered care in geriatric hospitals. Therefore, the strategies to improve the attitude towards dementia should be carried out to enhance the person-centered care among nurses in geriatric hospital.

This study aims to analyze the effects of job satisfaction on turnover intention among the nurses in geriatric hospitals. In terms of study methods, this study developed structured questionnaires, and distributed them to nurses working in 11 geriatric hospitals in metropolitan area. A total of 418 questionnaires (response rate: 87.0%) were used for final analysis. We conducted multiple regression analyses to analyze the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intention, adjusting for the characteristics of the research subjects. The results of this study are as follows. First, both job satisfaction and turnover intention were statistically significantly related to individual and hospital characteristics. Second, turnover intention was lower in older age group, and higher in smaller hospitals. As job satisfaction increases, turnover intention decreases. Third, the results of the regression analysis adjusting for subject's characteristics and job satisfaction's sub-categories show that the turnover intention is lower in nurses who are older, day worker, and work in bigger hospitals. Fourth, the result of subgroup analysis by hospital volume show that both of two groups are influenced by hospital ownership and satisfaction about compensation. In addition, professionalism had a significant effect on decreasing turnover intention in smaller hospitals. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between job satisfaction's sub-categories and turnover intention in larger hospitals. The results of this study confirms that job satisfaction lowers turnover intention among nurses in geriatric hospitals. It is suggested that the administrators of those hospitals continue to monitor critical factors associated with job satisfaction, and thus, reduce turnover intention, which helps improve quality of services.

본 연구의 목적은 병동 간호사를 대상으로 간호진단을 이용하여 노인환자 간호 교육요구를 파악하는 것이다. 연구대상은 최근 1년 이내 입원 노인환자 간호경험이 있는 병동 간호사 245명으로 국내 온라인 간호사 카페 두 개를 통해 2019년 11월 1일부터 30일까지 자료 수집했다. 연구결과 43개 간호진단은 급성기 간호, 일상생활 간호, 교육 및 상담, 환경 및 자원관리, 건강증진, 노인병관리의 6개 영역으로 분류되었고 노인환자 간호 교육 요구도는 간호사의 연령(F=5.42, p=.005), 성별(F=3.92, p=.049), 결혼 여부(F=3.92, p=.049; F=19.00, p<.001; F=4.18, p=.042; F=8.78, p=.003), 학력(F=3.29, p=.039), 병원 규모(F=5.30, p=.006), 근무경력(F=7.03, p=.001)에 따라 차이가 있었다. 노인 및 노인환자 간호를 효과적으로 수행하기 위하여 연속적인 교육 요구도 조사와 세분화된 프로그램 개발이 계속되어야 할 것이다.

노인은 낙상의 위험이 높고, 낙상은 심각한 손상을 유발함으로써 재원기간과 치료비용을 상승시켜 환자 가족뿐만 아니라 국가 경제에도 부담을 초래한다. 따라서 낙상 예방 활동은 간호사와 간호조무사 업무의 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 본 연구는 요양병원에서 근무하는 간호사와 간호조무사가 직면하는 낙상 예방 활동의 방해요인에 관한 사실적 맥락을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 36명의 요양병원 간호사 및 간호조무사를 대상으로 초점면담을 실시하였으며, Elo & Kyngäs의 귀납적 내용분석 방법에 의거하여 면담자료를 분석하였다. 환자 요인, 환경 요인, 개인 요인의 총 3개의 카테고리가 도출되었으며, 환자 요인에는 '저하된 인지 기능'이, 환경 요인에는 '인력지원의 부족'과 '낙상 위험을 고려하지 않은 입원환자 배정'이 개인 요인에는 '무력감'과 '비난에 대한 불안' 등이 포함되었다. 환자의 건강결과를 향상시키고 사회적 비용을 줄여나가기 위해 낙상 예방 활동을 증진하기 위해서는 요양병원의 간호 인력을 점차적으로 늘리고, 낙상위험에 따른 병실 배정 체계 마련, 간호 인력의 교육 및 지원 시스템을 보완할 필요성이 있다.

Purpose: We investigated the association between empathy for the elderly, the nursing work environment, person-centered care, and geriatric nursing practice among university hospital nurses and factors that affect geriatric nursing practice. Method: We administered questionnaires to 178 nurses between May 23 and June 21, 2022 at a university hospital in city D. We used descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis for data analysis. Results: We observed a statistically significant positive correlation between nurses' geriatric nursing practice and empathy for the elderly, the nursing work environment, and person-centered care. Empathy for the elderly was positively correlated with the nursing work environment and person-centered care, and the nursing work environment showed a statistically significant positive correlation with person-centered care. Empathy for the elderly and the nursing work environment significantly affected geriatric nursing practice. The overall explanatory power of the regression model was 33.4%. Conclusion: Greater awareness and implementation of various educational programs that promote empathy for the elderly are necessary to improve nursing care for the elderly population. Furthermore, adequate manpower and material support are important to improve the nursing work environment among nurses employed at university hospitals.

The elderly population will increase from 5.8% in 1996 to 12.5% in 2020. The related problems of health will also become a very important issue in the future. Therefore it is important to address the problems of geriatric nursing and geriatric health. 87.6% of the aged were ill with chronic degenerative diseases in 1994. In 1995, hospital admission rates (86.8) for those aged 60 or older were higher than that (56.3) of the total age group. Such high medical utilization will increase national health costs. For the development of geriatric nursing, active nursing intervention in various settings combined with education and research should be developed. Considering the health and welfare of the aged and the present status and views in Korea, I suggest the following: First, the health needs of the elderly in the institution, must be met by a plan that fosters geriatric nurses and programmed service development. Second, health service for the residential elderly must be provided in day care centers, short stays, nursing homes and geriatric hospitals. Geriatric nursing services should be provided in home residential areas, public health centers, public health subcenters as well as having, community health practitioners in primary health care posts and home health nurses. Third, geriatric nursing curriculum must be developed adjust to situations and culture of Korea and be included in the nursing curriculum. And gerontological nurse practitioner or geriatric specialist must be fosteraged to provide the professional care for the aged. Geriatric nursing research should be also achived for geriatric nursing improvements.
