Purpose
This descriptive survey study aimed to identify the influences of person-centered perioperative nursing and patient safety competency on patient safety management activities among operating room nurses. Methods Data were collected from June 14 to July 14, 2021, covering 158 operating room nurses working at six general hospitals. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression to identify the influencing factors of patient safety management activities. Results The mean scores of person-centered perioperative nursing, patient safety competency, and patient safety management activities were 3.86, 3.88, and 4.55, respectively. These scores increased with increased age and clinical experience. Person-centered perioperative nursing (β=.22, p=.014) and patient safety competency (β=.22, p=.014) influenced patient safety management activities. Conclusion Therefore, to improve the patient safety management activities of operating room nurses, an efficient nursing work environment must be created along with systematic and continuous education and programs to enhance person-centered perioperative nursing and patient safety competency.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of uncertainty appraisal and self-care behavior on uncertainty and the physiological indexes of hemodialysis patients. Methods This study used a descriptive correlation design. The participants were 140 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Data were collected from July 16 to August 20, 2020. Measurements included Mishel’s uncertainty in illness scale, the uncertainty appraisal scale, and the self-care behavior scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The mediating effects were verified by the bootstrapping method using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results The mean scores for uncertainty, uncertainty danger appraisal, uncertainty opportunity appraisal, and self-care behavior, respectively, 2.67±0.42 (range 1~5), 1.34±1.02, 2.17±1.12 (range 0~5), 3.58±0.45 (range 1~5). Uncertainty did not have a direct effect on physiological indexes. However, uncertainty opportunity appraisal and self-care behavior had serial mediating effects on the relationship between uncertainty and physiological indexes of serum phosphate and interdialytic weight gain. Conclusion To the control physiological indexes of hemodialysis patients, it is necessary to develop a nursing intervention program that can lower the this uncertainty and increase self-care behavior by considering uncertainty to be an opportunity.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to assess the research performance during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic among nursing researchers. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted for Korean Society of Adult Nursing where 103 subjects participated from April 15 to May 14, 2021. The survey tool developed by researchers had 32 items including difficulties in performing research activities, perception of the impact of COVID-19 on research validity, and three open-ended questions. Results: In the research planning phase, 88 subjects (90.7%) reported difficulties in the recruitment plan and 83 subjects (89.3%) reported difficulties selecting a research design. In the recruitment and data collection phase, 85 subjects (88.6%) had difficulties accessing data collection site and 78 subjects (85.7%) had difficulties in face-to-face data collection. In the provision of intervention phase (for experimental study), 26 subjects (66.7%) reported that they should have changed the method of delivery of intervention. In research administration and manpower management, 62 subjects (75.6%) reported difficulties in face-to-face meeting. In research outcome management, 65 subjects (85.5%) reported that they should have changed the way of research-related events. Lastly, 80 subjects (81.6%) perceived that difficulties caused by COVID-19 impacted research validity. Conclusion: Majority of participants perceived that the difficulties in research activities may decrease research validity. To ensure research quality during COVID-19 pandemic, we should recognize potential threats to research validity and actively pursue adaptable innovations of research designs and data collection methods.
PURPOSE
The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships between resilience, depression, and self-care competence and identify factors associated with self-care competence in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This study was a descriptive research. Structured questionnaire on patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, resilience, depression, and self-care competence was used for survey with a convenience sample of 152 patients with diabetes mellitus. Data were collected from July to December 2016. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS The mean scores on resilience, depression, and self-care competence were 2.86±0.42, 18.11±10.05, and 4.27±0.78, respectively. Self-care competence showed a statistically significant positive correlation with resilience (r=.47, p < .001), and negative correlation with depression (r=−.29, p < .001). Resilience showed a negative correlation with depression (r=−.53, p < .001). Resilience (β=.38, p < .001) was significantly associated with factors of self-care competence in patients with diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION The results of the study indicate that factor influencing self-care competence was resilience in patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for increasing the self-care competence should include regular assessments and strategies for improving resilience in patients with diabetes mellitus. It is recommended that the studies should be performed to confirm the relationship between resilience and self-care competence by using resilience instrument developed for adults.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to describe the approaches, methods and questions asked in intensive care unit studies published in Korean journals and the American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) from 1992 to 2011. Only quantitative studies were reviewed. METHODS A total of 144 studies published in four Korean Journals and 521 studies published in American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS The most frequently used research design reported in Korean journals were surveys (83.5%), protocol development (10.1%), and randomized controlled trials (6.2%). In AJCC, the most frequently reported design was survey research (90.4%) and randomized controlled trials (16.1%). The most frequent nursing intervention reported in the AJCC was tube care (10.8%), and in Korean journals the intervention of suctioning (10.8%). In Korea, nurses were more likely to study instrument measurements (31.0%) and positioning (13.5%). In reported studies in the AJCC there were more reports on emotional support, exercise, and measurement research. CONCLUSION There is overlap in the type of studies between the two countries in term of study design, whereas the types of nursing problems studied differed in United States and Korea. The result suggests that there were gaps and those more diverse studies and physiological measurements are needed. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify impact of stress on depression among university students and the moderating effect of social support in the relationship between stress and depression in university students. METHODS A total of 445 subjects were participated from May to July 2011. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaires and t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 20.0 were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The results indicate that depression was increased by stress and decreased with social support. Social support included four type of social support behavior; emotional support, informational support, material support, and appraisal support. Multiple regression analysis showed that moderating effect of emotional support was significant when provided by friends but not by parents. CONCLUSION These finding indicate the importance of emotional support of friends on depression in university students. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to develop a fundamental reference for the clinical implementation of Complementary and Alternative Therapy(CAT) by surveying and analyzing different perception and attitude between nurses and physicians. METHOD A total of 167 nurses and 103 physicians from two C university health science centers participated in this survey, and SPSS program with version 10.0 was used to analyze the result of survey. RESULT As results, 72.7% nurses and 57.1% physicians showed positive attitude for the concept of CAT, 60.6% nurses and 36.7% physicians responded positively while 2.6% nurses and 25.9% physicians responded negatively for the application of CAT to the clinical practice. There was a meaningful difference between two groups in the belief of therapeutic effectiveness of CAT. 67.7% nurses believed the therapeutic effectiveness of CAT while 38.8% physicians did. For attitudes of nurses and physicians toward CAT showed meaningful difference according to general characteristics: age, gender, marital status, a level of education, position in the organization, religion, and duration of health care service other than inpatient units. CONCLUSION In this study, the attitudes of nurses and physicians about CAT showed meaningful difference that nurses were more positive than physicians in application.
