본 연구는 종합병원 간호사들을 대상으로 특수부서 근무 간호사(수술실, 중환자실, 응급실)와 병동 근무 간호사의 피로수준을 비교하고 그의 관련요인을 파악하기 위해 2008년 8월에 대전광역시에 소재하고 있는 400병상 이상의 3개 종합병원에 근무하는 여성 간호사 393명을 대상으로 자기기입식설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 평균 피로점수는 특수부서 근무 간호사가 병동 근무 간호사보다 높았다. 다중회귀분석결과 피로수준에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인으로는 특수부서 근무 간호사의 경우 주관적 건강 상태, 연령, 간호직 생활에 대한 만족도가 주요 설명변수로 선정되었으며, 병동 근무자의 경우는 주관적 건강 상태, 평소 수면 시간, 교대 근무, 간호직 생활에 대한 만족도가 주요설명변수로 선정되었다. 위와 같은 결과를 볼 때, 특수부서 근무 간호사는 병동근무간호사에 비해 피로수준이 높은 것을 알 수 있으며, 특수부서 근무간호사와 병동 근무간호사의 피로에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인에도 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of forest walking program on stress and recovery among schizophrenic patients in a closed ward. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pre-posttest design was used. The participants were composed of 36 patients with schizophrenia admitted in two psychiatric hospitals. The experimental group (n = 18) received the forest walking program twice a week with a total of 6 weeks. Results: The study results revealed that the forest walking program was effective on stress(${\chi}^2=34.11$, p<.001), subjective recovery(${\chi}^2=22.40$, p<.001) and clinical recovery(F=28.34, p<.001) of hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the forest walking program for schizophrenic patients in the closed ward can be an effective nursing intervention to reduce stress and improve recovery ability. We suggest that mental health nurses may adapt this program to help patients with schizophrenia in a closed ward.

Purpose : This study aimed to identify the moderating and mediating effects of resilience on the relationship between role conflict and job satisfaction among nurses working in a comprehensive nursing care service ward. Methods : Participants were 130 comprehensive nursing care service ward nurses from four hospitals. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis, using SPSS 25.0. The mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between role conflict and job satisfaction was analyzed using multiple regression analysis according to Baron and Kenny's procedure. Results : Statistically significant negative correlations were found between role conflict and resilience (r=-.25, p<.007) and between role conflict and job satisfaction (r=-.38, p<.001). A significant positive correlation was found between resilience and job satisfaction (r=.54, p<.001). A partial mediating effect of resilience was found between role conflict and job satisfaction (Z=-2.53, p=.012) but no moderating effect was found. Conclusion : To improve the job satisfaction of comprehensive nursing care service ward nurses, interventions for alleviating role conflict and improving resilience as well as evaluations of the two variables are necessary.

Purpose: The recent increase in electric scooter (e-scooter) use has been accompanied by an increase in injuries from e-scooter-related accidents. Studies have reported that most such injuries are minor, and physicians may therefore underestimate the severity of such injuries. This study investigated the types and severity of injuries caused by isolated e-scooter accidents (i.e., those that did not involve colliding with other cars or falling from heights). Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from May to December 2021 at Dankook University Hospital tertiary medical center. The demographic data of patients injured in isolated e-scooter-related accidents were collected. All injuries were categorized by body part. Results: Fifty eligible patients visited our emergency department during the study period. Of these, 76% were categorized as nonemergency, and 62% were discharged after initial evaluation and treatment at the emergency department. Another 10% were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and 18% to the ward, with nine patients receiving at least one operation. The average hospital stays were 2.4 days in the ICU and 9 days in the ward. One death occurred due to traumatic brain injury (overall mortality rate, 2%). Multiple fractures of the left third through ninth ribs combined with lung laceration and fractures of T12 and L4 were noted. Conclusions: Various types and severities of injuries can occur in isolated e-scooter accidents. While most such injuries are minor, some will require ICU admission or surgery, and deaths can occur. Physicians should not underestimate the severity of such injuries.
