The Influence of Grit and Resilience on the Retention Intention of New Nurses / 정신간호학회지

Purpose@#This study was conducted to investigate the influence of grit and resilience on the retention intention of new nurses. @*Methods@#The participants were 148 new nurses who had worked at two tertiary hospitals for less than 12 months. The data were collected on self-reported questionnaires from October 25, 2022, to November 28, 2022. T-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman’s correlation analysis, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. @*Results@#Retention intention was significantly different according to placement in the desired department and job satisfaction. Retention intention showed a significant positive correlation with grit (p<.001) and resilience (p<.001). Significant factors influencing the retention intention of new nurses were resilience (β=.30, p<.001), grit (β=.27, p=.001), and job dissatisfaction (β=-.16, p=.029). These variables accounted for 29% (F=21.41, p<.001) of new nurses’ retention intention. @*Conclusion@#The results of this study showed that considering these factors influencing the retention intention of new nurses might be helpful for strategies addressing nurse staffing challenges.

Associations between Elementary School Students' Cell Phone Dependency and Aggression: The Mediating Effects of Diverse Leisure Activities / 정신간호학회지

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cell phone dependency and aggression in elementary school students with the mediating effect of leisure activities in South Korea. METHODS: Data were cross-sectional in study design with 1,555 fourth grade elementary school students participating in the 4th-year Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 and AMOS 21.0 program. RESULTS: Cell phone dependency has a significant effect on aggression, but it did not act as a control variable in the relationship between the protective factor, weekly book reading time and the amount of daytime play with aggression. Weekly entertainment time and weekly TV and video viewing time had a significant statistical effect on aggression, thus this study confirmed that cell phone dependency acts as a control variable in relation to aggression. CONCLUSION: As the entertainment time for elementary school students, the time spent watching TV and videos play a negative role, it is necessary to prepare a leisure activity management practice and strategies with an emphasis on entertainment time as well as, TV and video viewing as elementary school students' leisure activities for a healthy school life.

Factors Influencing Suicidal Ideation of College Students / 한국간호교육학회지

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to explore the influence of academic institutional interest, open parent-adolescent communication, social (friend) support, and existential spiritual well-being on suicidal ideation of college students. METHODS: The research design was descriptive survey research involving 285 college students in city G. Data was collected from May 18, 2011 to November 2, 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. RESULTS: The findings reveal that suicidal ideation of college students was low, i.e., average score was 9.2+/-3.65 (possible range 5~25). This study determined that suicidal ideation is negatively correlated with interest on the part of the academic institution, open parent-adolescent communication, social support from friends, and existential spiritual well-being. The extent of existential spiritual well-being was a significant predictor of suicidal ideation, controlling for general characteristics variables (gender, number of close friends, first supporter) and institutional interest, open parent-adolescent communication, and social support. Existential spiritual well-being accounted for 50% of the explanation of suicidal ideation of college students. CONCLUSION: Based on the outcomes of this study, designing an intervention program that emphasizes existential spiritual well-being in order to decrease suicidal ideation of tertiary education students is strongly recommended.
