본 연구는 간호·간병통합서비스 병원을 이용한 대상자가 인식한 간호 인력의 의사소통 능력과 의사 소통 유형 및 간호서비스 만족도가 간호·간병통합 서비스 병원 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 간호·간병통합서비스 병동에서 3일 이상 입원 중인 환자 291명이다. 자료 수집은 자가 기입식 설문 조사를 이용하였으며, 자료 통계 분석방법은 SPSS 21.0을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 간호·간병통합서비스 병원 재이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수는 간호서비스 만족도, 통합서비스 이용이었으며 이들 변수의 설명력은 총 63.4%로 나타났다. 따라서 간호·간병통합서비스 병동 재이용의도를 높이기 위해서는 간호서비스 만족도 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하며, 특히 보장성에 영향을 미치는 다른 변수에 대한 반복 연구가 필요하다.

The aim of this review is to present a German system of an outpatient care center under the German Health Insurance Act and home care (integration of medical care, basic care, bathing) under the Long-Term Care Insurance Act. This idea of a German integrated home care system should contribute to the development of a Korean home care model. Prior the introduction of long-term care insurance (1995), and with the of the health insurance law (1989), German outpatient care centers already provided medical and basic care services for patients with acute and chronic symptoms. Since 1995, patients with acute symptoms and rehabilitation periods under the Health Insurance Act have been eligible for home care. The Long-Term Care Insurance Act is intended for all citizens who are unable to carry out their daily activities for more than six months. In 2017, 13,657 (97%) of 14,050 outpatient care centers provided home care services after long-term care and health insurance. In other words, patients in Germany can use home care in both the acute and chronic phase at the same home care center, or 'integrated home-care center'.

Methods: The participants were 210 nurses caring for elderly patients in the INCS unit in Korea. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from February 9 to February 23, 2017. The questionnaires are composed of empathy construct rating scale, self-efficacy scale and nursing care of older adults scale. Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.9 years old. There were significant positive relationships between age and clinical career (r=.78; p<.001), self-efficacy and empathy (r=.33; p<.001) and empathy and nursing care of older adults (r=.25; p<.001). The quality of nursing care of older adults were significantly different according to working experience in psychiatric unit (p=.021). Influencing factor of nursing care of older adults was empathy (${\ss}=.29$; p<.001), which explained 30% of the variance.

Purposes: This study aimed to identify the relationships among personal and organizational communication skills, occupational stress, and patient safety activity levels of two nursing workforce groups (nurses and nursing assistants) who provide integrated nursing care services. Methodology: The study design is a cross-sectional study. Seventy-one nurses and forty-three nursing assistants working in the integrated nursing care service wards participated in this study. The data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire from June to July 2021. The relationships among the variables were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings: Nurses' personal communication skills (r=.294, p=.013), organizational communication skills (r=.408, p<.001), and occupational stress (r=.243, p=.041) were associated with their patient safety activities. However, nursing assistants' personal communication skills, organizational communication, and occupational stress were not correlated with their patient safety activities. Practical Implication: Patient safety activities of nurses were related to their communication skills and occupational stress, but nurse assistants were not. Therefore, nurses should encourage nursing assistants to responsibly engage in patient safety activities and supervise their works appropriately to achieve high-quality care.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differences in nurses' psychosocial work environment (PWE) in integrated nursing care wards (IWs) with higher nurse staffing and general wards (GWs) with lower staffing, and to analyze the effect of PWE on their health outcomes. Methods: Data were collected from 151 nurses in IWs and 156 nurses in GWs at a tertiary hospital in Seoul in 2023. The Korean version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III was used to measure PWE and health outcomes. Regression analyses were conducted to examine the effect of PWE on health outcomes. Results: The most negative aspects of the nurses' work environment were found in the work demand domain. IW nurses (vs. GW nurses) reported lower work demand, better work organization and job contents, and a more positive work-individual interface. Nurse health outcomes were also better in the IWs. Lower work demand and better work-individual interfaces were positively associated with improved health outcomes, while ward type (IW vs. GW) was not significantly related to health outcomes. Conclusion: Reducing work demand by expanding integrated nursing care services nationwide and improving nurse staffing in GWs is crucial for improving health outcomes.
