The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between acceptance intention toward a smartphone healthcare application and health-promoting behaviors among nursing students in order to propose a method to encourage nursing students' personal health management. Data were collected from June to July 2015 in two cities located in South Korea, targeting 450 nursing students. There was a weak positive relationship between acceptance intention toward a smartphone healthcare application and health-promoting behaviors (r = 0.281, P < .001). There were differences in health-promoting behaviors according to the level of acceptance intention toward a smartphone healthcare application: health-promoting behavior scores for the upper 50% of participants with higher intention scores (high-score group) were statistically higher than those for the lower 50% of participants (low-score group) (t = 4.247, P < .001). In the logistic regression, the high-score group had a greater likelihood of performing health-promoting behaviors (odds ratio, 2.260; P < .001, 95% confidence interval, 1.539–3.321). Health-promoting behaviors tended to increase among nursing students when the acceptance intention toward a smartphone healthcare application was high. To increase nursing students' intention to accept a smartphone healthcare application, it is necessary to develop applications featuring diverse, interesting health-related content suitable for their needs, so that they want to use these applications to promote health.
This study aimed to identify the relationships of perception of hospice and palliative care with emotional intelligence and cognitive empathy in nursing students. The participants were 458 nursing students. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficients, independent-samples t test, and binary logistic regression. Perception of hospice and palliative care was significantly and positively correlated with emotional intelligence (r = 0.224, P < .001) and cognitive empathy (r = 0.311, P < .001). Mean score differences of perception of hospice and palliative care by emotional intelligence and cognitive empathy were statistically significant (t = −3.973, P < .001; t = −4.109, P < .001, respectively). Logistic regression yielded an odds ratio of 1.860 (P < .001; 95% confidence interval, 1.283-2.698) between the perception of hospice and palliative care and emotional intelligence and an odds ratio of 2.028 (P < .001; 95% confidence interval, 1.394–2.951) between the perception of hospice and palliative care and cognitive empathy. Emotional intelligence and cognitive empathy should be cultivated to raise nursing students' perception of hospice and palliative care and must be included when developing related curricula and extracurricular programs.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between nursing students’ acceptance intention of a smart device, information literacy, and problem-solving confidence to explore the factors that may improve nursing students’ problem-solving confidence. Data were collected from 450 nursing students between July and August 2019 in two cities in Korea. The results showed that there is a positive correlation between problem-solving confidence and acceptance intention (r = 0.353, p < 0.001) and between problem-solving confidence and information literacy (r = 0.501, p < 0.001). Further, participants with high acceptance intention of a smart device and information literacy scores had significantly higher problem-solving confidence (t = 5.447, p < 0.001; t = 10.072, p < 0.001) than participants with low acceptance intention. In addition, in the logistic regression the odds ratio between the acceptance intention of a smart device, information literacy, and problem-solving confidence groups was odds ratio 2.071 (p < 0.001, CI: 1.412–3.037) and odd ratio 4.966 (p < 0.001, CI: 3.298–7.477). To improve nursing students’ problem-solving confidence, educational strategies should be developed to build information experience and information utilization capabilities.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of grit on academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job-seeking stress in nursing students.Design and Methods: The participants were 302 nursing students. Data were collected from May to August 2019 using structured questionnaires for this descriptive study.Findings: A statistically significant, negative correlation was found between grit and academic burnout, clinical practice burnout, and job-seeking stress (p < 0.001). The high-grit group revealed lower probability of burnout and stress scores than the lowgrit group: odds ratio (OR) = 6.051, OR = 3.621, OR = 3.302, respectively (p < 0.001).
