Purpose: The purposes of this study were to compare the level of perception and to identify factors associated with perception on patient safety culture among health care providers working in an operating room(OR). Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. Data were collected conveniently from 154 RNs and 116 physicians working in a tertiary hospital in Seoul. Patient safety culture was measured using "The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture" developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used for statistical analysis with the SPSS version 17.0. Results: The perception level of nurses and physicians on patient safety culture was "moderate" (3.14). Compared to physicians, nurses showed a significantly lower perception on the items of "teamwork within units" (t=-6.904, p<.001) and "overall perception of patient safety" (t=-4.327, p<.001), but had a higher perception about "frequency of events reported" (t=2.769, p=.006). The physicians' professional positions, years of working experience, age, and working hour per week were identified as factors associated with patient safety culture. Conclusion: Level of perception on patient safety culture may vary among health care providers working in the OR. The study finding suggests that a tailored education and training strategies should be considered to develop an effective safety culture for healthcare professionals working in OR.

목적: 본 연구에서는 부산지역 소재 유흥업소 여성종업원(룸살롱/바)을 대상으로 이들의 죽음에 대한 태도와 자살관련 요인들과의 관계를 조사하였다. 방법: 120명의 유흥업소 여성종업원을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 설문지는 죽음에 대한 태도에 관한 총 7개의 요인으로 구성되어있으며, 죽음해방인식, 죽음자연현상수용, 죽음공포, 죽음생각회피, 나의 죽음이 가족에게 주는 충격, 죽음생각빈도, 자살충동억제의지로 구분된다. 결과: 룸살롱 여성종업원들은 '월수입 만족도'가 높을수록 죽음에 대해 생각하는 빈도가 낮았으며, 자살충동억제의지가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 룸살롱 여성들의 '자살충동억제의지'에 유의미한 영향을 주는 요인은 '나의 죽음이 가족에게 주는 충격'과 '월수입 만족도'로 나타났다. 그러나 바 여성종업원들의 경우 '죽음해방인식' 요인만이 '자살충동억제의지'에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, 룸살롱 여성종업원들의 경우 '월수입 만족도'가 죽음에 대한 태도와 자살에 관한 생각을 정립하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다. 이처럼 개인이 가진 죽음에 대한 태도와 자살과의 관계를 이해하는 것은 어려운 상황에서 자살이라는 최악의 선택을 하지 않게끔 도울 수 있는 또 하나의 방법이 될 것이다.

The results are as followed: 1) Anbang reflects the women's power on changing its space character into mater bedroom, the highest hierarchy in private zone, and planning a dress room in it. 2) Dining room and kitchen is openly centered on the unit plan, but kitchen is still only women's working space for family and agriculture depended on literature review. Dining space is not activated family interaction, so it is not different from urban apartment housing. However, its location and character are changed, and its hierarchy is relatively higher with women. Dining room and kitchen tend to plan visually separated after 2001, so its trend seems to establish women's territory at home. 3) Whole family can't be easy to access utility and back balcony close to kitchen, and these spaces are functionally separated for women's house work. This design trend seems to establish for women's area. 4) Finally, women's power seems to be effective in house working area including kitchen space depended on results.

Purpose: The present study investigated experiences of traumatic perinatal events, the provision of related education, and educational needs of nurses working in the labor and delivery room (LDR). Methods: Nurses working in the LDRs of six institutions and two nurse portal sites were invited to participate in the survey, delivered on paper or online. The data were collected from October 1 to November 25, 2022. Data from 129 nurses were analyzed using frequency, the chi-square test, the Fisher exact test, the t-test, and analysis of variance. Results: Virtually all participants (98.6%) reported having experienced at least one traumatic perinatal event (dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal congenital anomalies, severe maternal or neonatal injury, stillbirth, and maternal or neonatal death) while working in the LDR. The most shocking traumatic perinatal event experienced was the maternal or neonatal death (40.3%), but 24.8% of participants did not recall ever receiving education on the topic. About 63% of participants experienced traumatic perinatal events within a year of working in the LDR. The average score for education needs regarding traumatic perinatal events was 3.67±0.37 out of 4, and participants preferred simulation education as the most effective educational method. Conclusion: Since most of the participants had experienced various traumatic perinatal events in the early stages of working in the LDR and expressed a high level of need for education on traumatic perinatal events, it is necessary to provide more effective stimulation education programs in the early period of work in the LDR.
