Purpose
The aim of this study was to confirm the relationship between patient experience, patient safety knowledge, and patient safety perception and prepare basic data to help initiate patient safety activities and patient safety education in primary care institutions. Methods: The participants were 252 patients who had used primary care institutions in the Gyeonggi area within six months prior to the study. Data were collected from February 16 to March 15, 2021 using a structured online questionnaire on patient experience, patient safety knowledge, and patient safety perception. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0, and hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the moderating effect of patient safety knowledge. Results: Patient experience had a significant positive correlation with patient safety perception. In the relationship between patient experience and patient safety perception, patient safety knowledge had a significant moderating effect. In particular, among the sub-factors of the patient experience, doctors and the hospital environment significantly affected patient safety perception, and in this process, patient safety knowledge acted as a moderating variable. Conclusion: Patients with low safety knowledge have a higher perception of safety when they have positive experiences through doctors. Therefore, medical staff should make continuous efforts to establish a safe hospital environment and earn patients’ trust to increase their safety perception. It is necessary to develop mandatory patient safety education programs by identifying potential patient safety problems and accidents in primary care institutions.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to develop a instrument to evaluate patient safety perception in hospitalized patient and to examine its validity and reliability. METHODS For the development of the initial items, the literature was reviewed along with the existing measuring tools. The items were evaluated by experts for content validity. This study was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018. A total of 294 hospitalized patients participated in the study to verify the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency. RESULTS The final instrument were derived containing 24 items and 3 factors. There were 10 items on “activities to ensureâ€, 10 items on “patient's safety practicesâ€, and 4 items on “trust of the medical system.†The criterion-related validity was established using the Patient Measure of Safety (r=.72, p < .001). The Cronbach's α for this instrument was .93. CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that this instrument has satisfactory validity and reliability. It can quantitatively measure the degree of patient safety awareness of hospitalized patients. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of hope and depression applied on the influence of social stigma on suicidal ideation of 108 HIV infected males. METHODS This study was a descriptive, cross-sectional design that used a survey approach. Data collection was one-on-one interviews by a counseling nurse from July 2012 to January 2013. The survey included questions about social stigma, hope, depression, and suicidal ideation. RESULTS Fitness of the hypothetical model was appropriate (chi2/df=1.97, TLI=.97, CFI=.98, RMSEA=.07, SRMR=.04). Social stigma had no direct effect on suicidal ideation but had a significant indirect effect on suicidal ideation via hope and depression. Hope had a mediating effect the relationship between stigma and depression but no direct effect on the relationship between stigma and suicidal ideation. Hope had an indirect effect on suicidal ideation via depression. Stigma and hope accounted for 41% of depression was where as suicidal ideation was explained 56.3% by depression, hope, and stigma. CONCLUSION In order to reduce depression and suicidal ideation of HIV infected people, stigma improving strategies are required. And hope intervention for HIV infected people may decrease their suicidal ideation and depression. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
This study was to identify relationships between the levels of perceived stress, cancer-related knowledge, attitude and prevention behaviors, and to explore factors influencing cancer prevention behaviors of adult women in Korea. METHODS This study was a descriptive research, using a cross-sectional survey. A convenience sample of 314 women aged 20 to 64 was selected. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure perceived stress, cancer-related knowledge, cancer-related attitude, and cancer prevention behaviors. The data were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS Cancer-related knowledge significantly differed according to age, marital status, education level, and occupation. While correlations between cancer-related knowledge, cancer-related attitude, and cancer prevention behaviors were positive, correlations between perceived stress and cancer prevention behaviors were negative. The hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant positive relations between cancer prevention behaviors and age (beta=.18, p=.003), perceived health status (beta=.22, p<.001), periodic checkup (beta=.21, p=.002), and cancer-related attitude (beta=.25, p<.001). Perceived stress on the other hand was negatively related to cancer prevention behaviors (beta=-.23, p<.001). CONCLUSION Interventions targeting women, especially young adults should focus on enhancing cancer-related attitude in order to improve cancer prevention behaviors. Thus, there continues to be a need to reduce perceived stress in adult women. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of sexual attitude among the elderly to their sexual life while exploring the moderating effect of general characteristics in the relationship between sexual attitude and sexual life. METHODS A descriptive research design was used. The subjects were 322 married elderly from four silver centers in Seoul and Gangwon-do. Aging Sexuality Attitude Scale developed by White (1982) was used to examine sexual life status and general characteristics of the subjects (gender, age, academic background, religion, economic status, and residential type). For data analysis, chi2-test, t-test, and ANOVA were conducted. Since the dependent variable of sexual life is a binary variable, hierarchical logistic regression was implemented. RESULTS There were 180 people (55.9%) who had a sexual life. Depending on gender (chi2=35.03, p<.001), academic background (chi2=29.45, p<.001), and economic status (chi2=7.36, p=.025), the subjects showed significant difference in terms of sexual life. Regarding sexual attitude, the subjects showed significant difference depending on gender (t=-5.47, p<.001), age (t=-2.31, p=.021), academic background (t=5.16, p<.001), economic status (F=3.17, p=.043), and sexual life status (t=4.99, p<.001). CONCLUSION It is important to devise the sex education program in consideration of gender, age, and academic background that showed moderating effects.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sex education for the elderly on sexual knowledge and life satisfaction. METHODS A quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. A seven week sex education program for the elderly was developed and offered to the treatment group. Subjects were drawn from three welfare centers in Seoul. Twenty six were selected for the treatment l group while 27 were assigned to a comparison group. Sexual knowledge and life satisfaction were measured. RESULTS The level of life satisfaction reported by the treatment group was greatly increased (t=2.14, p=.037). There were no statistically significant differences in sexual knowledge between both the two groups. CONCLUSION A positive influence of sex education was found to increase the level of life satisfaction. Further study on customized sex education for the elderly by individual characteristics is required.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Selection, Optimization and Compensation (SOC) Strategy mediated the relationship between job stress and health promoting behaviors among nurses. METHODS A descriptive causal relationship research design was used. 245 subjects recruited from the five general hospitals, which have over 500 beds in Seoul and Kyunggi-do, participated in the study by completing a survey which included questions about SOC strategy, job stress and health promoting behaviors. t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. SPSS/WIN 20.0 was used for all analysis. RESULTS The mean job stress score was 47.89; mean SOC strategy score was .71. 'Spiritual development' was the highest reported health promoting behavior with a mean of 3.57. Job stress was significantly and negatively related to health promoting behaviors. The result showed that all the mediating paths of SOC strategy were significant. The partial mediating model showed high goodness of fit demonstrating that the model was outstanding. CONCLUSION SOC strategy mediated the relationship between job stress and health promoting behaviors. Applying better SOC strategies among nurses will increase flexibility in responding to job stress and will also better perform health promoting behaviors.
