Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating role of positive psychological capital on the effects of clinical nurses' responses to violence on burnout and to provide basic date for an intervention program that reduces nurse burnout.
Methods
The participants in this study were 172 nurses recruited through convenience sampling at one general hospital in Seoul. Data were collected from June 5 to 10, 2023 using structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 26.0.
Results
Burnout was positively correlated with violence responses and negatively correlated with positive psychological capital among clinical nurses. Verbal violence experience (β=.14, p=.014), job satisfaction (β=.31, p<.001), social violence response (β=.15, p=.035) and positive psychological capital (β=-.39, p<.001) were identified as factors significantly influencing clinical nurses' burnout. The interaction term between social violence response and positive psychological capital significantly influenced burnout (β=.18, p=.044).
Conclusion
Social violence response affected burnout among clinical nurses, and positive psychological capital was identified as a moderating factor in burnout. Therefore, hospital and nursing organizational efforts such as fostering an appropriate organizational atmosphere, providing social support that encourages trust and creativity among organizational members, and implementing various educational and mentoring programs are required to reduce nurses' social violence response and enhance positive psychological capital.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to provide the fundamental data for improving working environments for operating room nurses as well as the quality of surgical nursing.
Methods
Study participants were 95 operating room nurses with at least three months of work experience in general and tertiary hospitals in S and G provinces. Data were collected from October 2021 to November 2021 using a structured questionnaire. Results: Factors affecting the participants’ burnout were verbal violence (β=.23, p=.007), the self-perceived health status “not healthy” (β=.21, p=.009), and job satisfaction: “dissatisfied” (β=.34, p<.001) and “moderate” (β=.44, p<.001). Work-oriented nursing organizational culture (β=.26, p=.007) had a moderating effect on the relationship between verbal violence and burnout.
Conclusion
The results indicated that the verbal violence experienced by the participants affected their burnout, and work-oriented nursing organizational culture acted as a moderating variable.Therefore, a hospital’s organizational efforts to reduce verbal violence in the operating room and develop a well-balanced nursing organizational culture must be aimed at lowering nurse burnout.

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate nurses’ burnout working in a hospital for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, and identify factors influencing nurses’ burnout. Methods We recruited 162 nurses working in a nationally designated hospital for COVID-19 patients. Data were collected on general characteristics, burnout, social support, healthcare safety climate, and job stress using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression, and Cronbach’s α using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 for Windows. Results The mean scores for burnout, social support, healthcare safety climate, and job stress were 2.96, 3.74, 4.08, and 2.69, respectively. Working department and job stress were significant factors affecting nurses’ burnout and these variables explained 26.0% of burnout variance. Conclusion To reduce burnout of nurses working in the COVID-19 frontline, efforts are needed to reduce nurses’ job stress. In nursing research, further study on what makes a difference in burnout between intensive care units and medical/surgical wards in current COVID-19 situation are needed. The results will be used as basic data to develop intervention and reduce nurses’ burnout during future infectious disease outbreaks.

Purpose
This study aims to explore the mediating effect of burnout and the moderating effect of nursing work environment in the relationship between nursing competence and patient-centered care among nurses caring for patients with chronic disease. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional descriptive research design. The participants were 150 nurses at a general hospital. The data were collected from February 10 to May 10, 2020. The questionnaire consisted of measuring tools for general characteristics, patient-centered care, nursing competency, nursing work environment, and burnout. The SPSS/25.0 program was used to analyze the data using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The average score of patient-centered care was found to be 3.75±0.44. Nursing competency had a mean score of 3.64±0.44, nursing work environment of 3.04±0.43, and burnout of 2.91±0.68. Patient-centered care was significantly associated with nursing competency, nursing work environment, and burnout. In the relationship between nursing competency and patient-centered care, burnout had a partial mediating effect. The relationship between nursing competency and patient-centered care showed that nursing work environment had no moderating effect. Conclusion: The results revealed that patient-centered care was performed well if nursing competency was high. It is necessary to lower burnout and increase nursing competency such that patient-centered care can be performed better. In addition, since nursing work environment has a significant effect on nursing competency and patient-centered care, it is necessary to improve nursing work environment to improve nursing competency and patient-centered care performance.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of telephonic counseling on burnout, depression, life satisfaction, and perceived physical health among family caregivers of older adults with dementia.
METHOD
Subjects were randomly assigned into telephonic counseling group (n=21) and the comparison group (n=32). A weekly telephone counseling was conducted by research assistants for 12 weeks. T-test were used to answer the research questions.
RESULT
1) There were no significant differences between the two groups on the level of burnout, depression, life satisfaction, and perceived physical health after telephone counseling. 2) Spouse caregivers under the telephone counseling tended to report higher perceived physical health than comparison group at the post-test (t=-1.88, p=.08). Spouse caregivers under the telephone counseling tended to report higher emotional exhaustion and lower feeling of self achievement. 3) Daughter-in-law caregivers under telephone counseling showed increased feeling of self achievement, improved physical health condition, and decreased depression.
CONCLUSION
This study showed potential effects of the problem-solving telephone counseling to improve perceived physical health and to reduce the level of burnout and depression. The findings suggest the necessity of screening most vulnerable subgroups of caregivers to increase the effectiveness of nursing intervention such as telephone counseling.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of hardiness, job stress, and burnout in nurses, and to identify predictors of burnout.
METHOD
Empirical data were collected from 154 staff nurses at one university hospital in Gwangju city. Self- reported questionnaires were composed of the Personal Views Survey(PVS), job stress scale, Tedium scale, and 7 items asking nurse's general characteristics. Data analysis was done with a SAS package.
RESULT
In correlation analysis, hardiness, job stress, and nursing satisfaction had significant correlation with burnout. In stepwise multiple regression, 28.7% of the variance in burnout was accounted for by nursing satisfaction(19.9%), job stress(6.0%), and hardiness(2.8%). Among subscales of hardiness, only commitment was a significant predictor, so nursing satisfaction, job stress, and commitment explained 28.9% of variance in burnout.
CONCLUSION
Based on the findings of this study, the development of program for nurses to increase nursing satisfaction is needed, and more studies to examine causal relationship between nursing satisfaction and burnout is also highly recommended.
