Influences of Prevention Knowledge Regarding Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), Workplace Learning, and Recognition of Infection Control Organization Culture on the Prevention Performance of CAUTI among Long-term Care Hospitals Nurses / 간호행정학회지

Purpose@#This study aimed to investigate factors affecting prevention performance of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) among long-term care hospital nurses. @*Methods@#The participants were 162 nurses in 11 long-term care hospitals. Data were collected from May 21 to June 4, 2021, using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with an independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis.

The Relationship among Hesitation Factor of Questions, Critical Thinking Disposition, and Problem Solving: The University Student's Perspective / 한국간호교육학회지

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship among hesitation factor of questions, critical thinking disposition, and problem solving. METHODS: Data were collected from 370 students at a university in D city using a structured questionnaire from April 1 to April 15, 2015. It was analyzed with frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. RESULTS: Subjects scored an average of 2.62+/-.52 for hesitation factor of questions, 3.53+/-0.42 for critical thinking disposition, and 3.44+/-0.44 for problem solving. There were significant differences in the three variables according to satisfaction with major, self-expression, and interpersonal relationships. In addition, hesitation factor of questions exhibited a significant difference between genders. Hesitation factor of questions had a negative relationship with critical thinking disposition (r=-.23, p<.001) and with problem solving (r=-.34, p<.001). In addition, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between critical thinking disposition and problem solving (r=.69, p<.001). CONCLUSION: In order to improve critical thinking disposition and problem solving, we need to generate a lot of questions to the student's inside. We also need to develop appropriate teaching methods so that this can be expressed by the actual question coming from the control hesitation factor of questions.

Effectiveness of the Military Mental Health Promotion Program

PURPOSE: This study was done to evaluate the Military Mental Health Promotion Program. The program was an email based cognitive behavioral intervention. METHODS: The research design was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 32 soldiers who agreed to participate in the program. Data were collected at three different times from January 2012 to March 2012; pre-test, post-test, and a one-month follow-up test. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18.0. The effectiveness of the program was tested by repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS: The first hypothesis that the level of depression in the experimental group who participated in the program would decrease compared to the control group was not supported in that the difference in group-time interaction was not statistically significant (F=2.19, p=.121). The second and third hypothesis related to anxiety and self-esteem were supported in group-time interaction, respectively (F=7.41, p=.001, F=11.67, p<.001). CONCLUSION: Results indicate that the program is effective in improving soldiers' mental health status in areas of anxiety and self-esteem.

Perceived threat, multiculturalism, collective identity, and frequency of contact with minorities were identified as factors affecting the social distance. The model explained 24% of the variables. CONCLUSION: To effectively respond to the minority groups' nursing needs in the army, educational programs which help to reduce the perceived threat, to strengthen multiculturalism, and to establish a healthy collective identity of nursing cadets need to be developed.

A Study on Comparison of Classification and Regression Tree and Multiple Regression for Predicting of Soldiers' Depression / 정신간호학회지

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore status and level of depression, anxiety and self esteem in Korean soldiers and identify effective statistical methods that account for and predict their depression. METHODS: A cross sectional study design was employed. Data were collected from five hundred thirty four soldiers in Gang-won Province and analyzed using stepwise multiple regression and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) with SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. RESULTS: The mean scores for depression, anxiety and self-esteem were 10.7+/-9.75, 38.5+/-10.16 and 31.7+/-5.20 respectively. Around one-forth (23.6%) of participants were above mild depression level. Major variables showing significant correlations were anxiety, self-esteem, duration of military service and the number of ventilation activities. Anxiety, self-esteem and duration of military service accounted for 62.3% of the variance in depression according to multiple regression. In CART analysis, predicting factors in the high risk group were high level anxiety and uncertain plan after discharge from military. CONCLUSION: The result of this study showed that anxiety was major factor of soldiers' depression both in multiple regression and CART. Also, CART applied in this study was an effective method in screening a risk group of soldiers' depression.

Role Development of Nursing Officers in ROKAF Base

BACKGROUND: Though nursing officer system was introduced to ROKAF with the changes in ROKAF's medical environment and expectations toward nursing profession, its role is not clearly defined yet and this leads to the necessity of further research on systematic role development. This work, therefore, tried to supply basic information for its role development by finding out role expectations on nursing officer in ROKAF Base from air force members. METHODS: Surveys were conducted from Oct. 10 to Oct. 25, 2002 on three groups in ROKAF air bases: nursing officers, medical team and consumers of nursing services. For data collection, survey instrument was developed through research surveys and delphi method. Data were analyzed with SPSS Win 10.1. RESULTS: Results of the study is summarized as follows; 1) Surveys were conducted on 169 persons : consumers 109 (64.9%), medical team 32 (18.9%), and nursing officers 28 (16.6%). 2) The type of that nursing officers assumed were conducting are clinician, educator, researcher, consultant, administrator and military officer. 3)The degrees of role expectation on above roles were highest in nursing officers, followed by medical team and consumers. In detail, for the nursing officers group, the order was clinician (3.68+/-21), researcher (3.62+/-35), educator (3.59+/-27), consultant (3.42+/-43), administrator (3.42+/-39) and military officer (3.30+/-34). For the medical team group, the order was researcher (3.49+/-41), educator (3.48+/-49), clinician (3.38+/-37), military officer (3.23+/-45) and consultant (3.17+/-56). For the consumers group, the order of role expectation is researcher(3.18+/-48), clinician (3.14+/-39), consultant (3.12+/-53), military officer (3.10+/-48), educator (3.09+/-49) and administrator (2.93+/-44). All of the roles were defined as necessary by the three surveyed groups except the consumer group for the role of administrator. There were significant differences in the role expectation, between medical team group and nursing officers group, for the role as a whole (t=-2.46, P=.017) and for the role as clinician specifically (t=-3.79, P=.000). DISCUSSION: Based on the research results, I propose that clinician, educator, researcher, consultant, administrator and military officer the role of assumed by nursing officers in air base should be defined. Since role establishment and proper execution requires more comprehensive research to cope with excluded roles and on related matters such as personnel, organizational system, institution and regulation, inter-disciplinary studies are necessary.
