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 person-centered care, nursing workplace spirituality, stress for elderly care, and nursing practice environment and to identify factors associated with person-centered care in long-term care hospital nurses. METHODS The participants of this study were nurses at long-term care hospitals in Jeollabuk-do and Chungcheongnan-do. Data was collected between July 20 and August 20, 2018 from questionnaire responses received 171 nurses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and enter multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. RESULTS The mean score of person-centered care was 2.98±0.55 out of 5 points, nursing workplace spirituality scored 4.83±0.78 out of 7 points, stress for elderly care scored 2.96±0.37 out of 4 points, and nursing practice environment scored 2.40±0.42 out of 4 points. Person-centered care showed statistically significant positive correlations with nursing workplace spirituality (r=.51, p<.001) and nursing practice environment (r=.63, p<.001). Nursing practice environment showed a significant positive correlation with nursing workplace spirituality (r=.49, p<.001). Nursing practice environment, nursing workplace spirituality, and years of experience as nurse were significantly associated with person-centered care in long-term care hospital nurses. CONCLUSION Based on the results of this study, strategies are needed to improve the nursing practice environment and nursing workplace spirituality in order to enhance the person-centered care of long-term care hospital nurses. Moreover, it is necessary to explore educational measures to strengthen the person-centered care skills according to nursing career. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
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 explore the experience of workplace violence among intensive care unit nurses. METHODS The participants of this research were twelve registered nurses who work in the intensive care units (ICU) at the hospitals in Seoul and Gyunggido.
