ABSTRACT
Purpose@#: Interviews between the coordinator and the family of the brain dead for organ and tissue donation have a great impact on the increase in the consent rate of organ donation. It is necessary to find out empirically the factors for building a mutually respectful and reciprocal relationship in the interview between the coordinator and the family from the perspective of the research subject. @*Methods@#: This study is a qualitative study, and data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 coordinators of the Korea Organ Donation Agency. The collected data were analyzed by two steps of text analysis and meaning reconstruction. @*Results@#: The relationship building factors between the coordinator and the family of the brain dead analyzed in this study include ‘establishing trust, helping the family, empathy, active listening, friendliness, non-burdening, cautious approach, and sincerity’. Coordinators conducted interviews to deliver information to the family of the brain dead, sincerely and carefully through sympathy and listening, while working for the family at the same time. In these interviews, non-verbal and quasi-verbal communication as well as verbal expressions was actively used. @*Conclusion@#: The results of this study can be used for communication training of organ procurement coordinators.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an education program for effective nursing intershift handoff communication (NIHC) on nursing intershift performance, self-efficacy, and interrelationship stress among clinical nurses. METHODS: The study was a pilot study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 40 clinical nurses from Seoul/ Gyeonggi Province. The handoff dialogue pattern was developed by three professors and one doctoral student in 2014, and was based on an education program for effective (NIHC) from dialogue analysis. The education program as an experimental treatment was provided for 3 1/2 hoursto clinical nurses. Measures included nursing intershift performance scale, self-efficacy scale, and interrelationship stress scale. Collected data was processed and analyzed with SPSS PC+ Version 21. RESULTS: There were significant differences in nursing intershift performance (hand over: t=-12.18,p<.001; undertaking: t=-6.88, p<.001), self-efficacy (hand over: t=9.42, p<.001; undertaking: t=8.13, p<.001), and interrelationship stress (hand over: t=11.46, p<.001; undertaking: t=10.49, p<.001) between pre and post-test. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that this education program can be utilized as a manual, and can be applied to improve nursing intershift performance and self-efficacy, and to decrease interrelationship stress for effective (NIHC) among clinical nurses. Findings will also help to reduce incorrect performances and increase work efficiency in clinical practice for nurses.
