Purpose: The purpose of this study was to ascertain current status of nurses' perception, nursing performance, job stress, and burnout in relation to the Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation and to verify the relationships among these variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed using questionnaires. Data were collected from 220 nurses who worked at one hospital from April 5 to May 4, 2013. Results: The scores for perception, nursing performance, job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation were(on a five-point Likert scale) 3.23, 4.01, 3.56 and 3.40 respectively. A positive correlation was observed between perception and nursing performance. Burnout was negatively correlated with perception and nursing performance, and positively correlated with job stress. Conclusion: These results indicate that developing positive perception and reduced burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation can produce good nursing performance. These findings can be utilized to develop strategies for reducing job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation.

Method: The subjects consisted of 208 nursing students. Data collected from October to November 2011 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The mean scores of health status (3.20±.56), social problem ability (3.20±.43), and college adjustment (2.95±.57) were above the average. But health promoting behaviors (2.31±.39) was the average. Health status was significantly different according to grade, dwelling, and academic achievement. Health promoting behaviors was significantly different according to gender. College adjustment was significantly different according to gender, grade, religion, dwelling, reason of nursing department application, and academic achievement. But social problem ability was not significantly different according to general characteristics. Significant correlations were found among health status, health promoting behaviors, social problem ability and college adjustment. Health promoting behaviors, social problem ability, academic achievement, and gender were influencing factors of college adjustment (47.3%). Conclusion: These findings indicate that it is considered to gender, academic achievement, health promoting behaviors, and social problem ability to improve college adjustment of nursing students.

Purpose: In this study, we examined the differences and relationship between teaching style of preceptors, and personality, nursing performance, and organizational socialization of new nurses. Methods: The participants were 118 new nurses. The data collected from March to May 2011 were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Teaching style of preceptors was most frequently judgement-initiative, and personality of new nurses was most frequently extraversion. Nursing performance (3.05±.59) and organizational socialization (3.05±.59) of new nurses were at an average level. Nursing performance and organizational socialization of new nurses were not significantly different according to teaching style of preceptors. Significant correlations were found between personality and nursing performance, and between personality and organizational socialization. Conclusion: These findings indicate that changes in perceived teaching style of preceptors and personality of new nurses may be necessary to increase efficiency of preceptorship related to nursing performance and organizational socialization of new nurses. The above-mentioned results should be reflected in the development of effective preceptor training programs.
This study was done to identify the relationship among knowledge, attitude, internal health locus of control, and performance related hand washing among elders. Methods: Participants were 197 elders. Data were collected from October to December 2014 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Mean scores for knowledge, attitude, internal health locus of control, and performance related hand washing were above average. The level of knowledge was significantly different according to gender and marital status. Attitude differed according to age, religion, and marital status. Internal health locus of control differed according to religion, and experience of education programs. Performance differed according to gender, religion, marital status, and leisure activities. Significant correlations were found between attitude and performance related hand washing, and between internal health locus of control and performance related hand washing. Attitude and internal health locus of control were predictors of performance related hand washing. Conclusion: These findings indicate that changes in perceived attitude and internal health locus of control may be necessary to improve practice related hand washing among elders. The results of the study can be utilized in health promotional programs for elders.
