This study was designed to investigate the factors that influence soldiers' military adjustment in the rear air force. The data were collected through a survey of 160 soldiers in N city from Nov. 16th to Dec. 11th, 2015, using appropriate instruments to assess their military adjustment, type of communication, resilience and mental health, and analyzed using IBM SPSS WIN 21. The mean scores for military adjustment, resilience, mental well-being and disorder were $1.25{\pm}0.33$, $3.69{\pm}0.56$, $2.98{\pm}0.94$ and $1.24{\pm}0.36$, respectively. In the analysis of their general characteristics, there were significant differences in age, perceived health and future career. Significantly positive correlations were found between adjustment and placating, blaming and irrelevant communication and mental disorder and significantly negative correlations were found between adjustment and resilience and mental well-being. Mental disorder and blaming communication accounted for 41% of the variance in the military adjustment. The result of this study shows that soldiers' military adjustment is related to mental disorder and blaming communication.

This study was conducted to identify the recognition for nursing competency importance, nursing competency level, and their influencing factors of nurses in the long-term care hospitals. Participants were 243 nurses who were working in the 11 long-term care hospitals. Data were collected from August 25 to September 3, 2014. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression by SPSS 19.0. Mean scores of the recognition for nursing competency importance and nursing competency level were $4.21{\pm}0.48$ and $3.47{\pm}0.46$ respectively. Nursing competency level was significantly lower than the recognition for nursing competency importance. The variable influencing the recognition for nursing competency importance was the position(${\beta}=.19$). The variables influencing the nursing competency level were the recognition of nursing competency importance (${\beta}=.37$), age (${\beta}=.20$), current work experience (${\beta}=.13$), health status (${\beta}=.13$). The results suggest the need of developing measurement tool and nursing competency enhancement programs which can well reflect the characteristics of nursing competency required in the long-term care hospital.

The purpose of this study was to examine, among quality improvement (QI) department employees, the effects of perception of the healthcare accreditation on job stress and to identify factors affecting turnover intention. Research data was collected between 1 June and 15 June 2016. The sample included QI department employees who had participated in a healthcare accreditation survey. The collected data were analyzed to obtain frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation results, which were assessed by using Student's t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. The scores for QI employees' perceptions of the healthcare accreditation, job stress, and turnover intention were 3.35, 3.66, and 3.32 of the perception by general characteristics. There were significant differences between scores according to gender, age, QI department section, position, and job satisfaction. In addition, job stress and turnover intention scores showed significant differences according to position, age, QI department section, and job satisfaction. A positive correlation was observed between healthcare perception and job stress, while turnover intention was negatively correlated with healthcare perception. The results indicate that the perception of healthcare accreditation positively affects job stress; in contrast, it decreases the number of people intending to change departments. Among the sample of lower level workers, the younger age workers who were employed for more than 10 years expressed lower satisfaction with their job, which indicates that they are affected by their notion of healthcare accreditation more than by other factors. Thus, in order to lessen work stress and employees' thoughts of leaving the department, the QI department should be encouraged to lessen job stress and provide various supports to the employees.
