“…Based on a previous study on educational needs [ 16 ] and using G-power 3.1.9.7 with a significance level of .05, an effect size of .30, and a power of .80, the minimum sample size required for analysis of variance with four groups (the maximum number of groups for work experience) was 128. Considering a 5% to 10% dropout rate [ 16 , 17 ], 136 participants were initially recruited. After excluding seven inappropriate or insincere responses, data from 129 participants (60 offline and 69 online) were analyzed.…”

“…In contrast, the “permanent or temporary complications due to delivery” event from Sheen et al [ 2 ] was excluded because it is challenging to confirm quickly. Additionally, “neonatal congenital anomalies” [ 3 , 17 ] and “postpartum hemorrhage” [ 2 , 8 , 17 ], which are included in various studies on traumatic perinatal events, were added to the final selection of six events. The participants responded dichotomously (“yes” or “no”) to indicate their experience with each event.…”

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.

“…Knowledge among employess regarding infection control and prevention (IPC) in the LTCHs seems to be poor. Previous studies showed that infection control managers in LTCHs needed education on IPC [14,15]. The IPC team in my hospital should have educated nurses about the basics, such as disinfection, as well as putting on and takin off PPE.…”

“…There is insufficient space for isolation, quarantine, and grouping into cohorts in a LTCH. A previous survey done in 2018 reported that there were isolation rooms and negative pressure rooms in 58.5% (121/207) and 0.5% (1/208) in nursing hospitals in Korea [ 14 ]. Transfers of patients who have come in contact with infected persons are not easily accepted by other hospitals, owing to inadequate facilities for quarantine combined with the great fear of contamination.…”

Clusters of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) have been widely reported in Korea and around the world. COVID-19 has a high mortality rate, and older patients and those with underlying diseases are at particularly high risk of being infected. Outbreaks in LTCFs, where many high-risk patients reside, result in the occupation of beds meant for severely ill patients and even death in many patients. Long-term care hospitals (LTCH) are major LTCFs in Korea. Therefore, it is very important to protect patients in LTCHs from COVID-19. The reality is that preparedness for COVID-19 in LTCHs is inadequate, and there are barriers to improvements in preparedness. Through institutional improvement and policy support, the government should help healthcare personnel and LTCHs improve installation and raise the level of knowledge of infection prevention and control. With these improvement, prevention, surveillance, and screening for COVID-19 should be done and a response system to the COVID-19 outbreak should be established. There are many challenges that must be overcome to meet the goals proposed in this article. This may be possible only with a spirit of solidarity and cooperation of government, public and private healthcare facilities.
