ABSTRACT
Resumen Objetivo: Identificar cómo influyen los factores sociodemográficos, ocupacionales, de siniestralidad y de afiliación en la aprobación o no de la pensión de sobrevivencia en una administradora de fondos de pensiones colombiana entre 2006 y 2011. Metodología: Estudio de corte a partir de los formularios de investigación causal del fallecimiento, pensión obligatoria y registro civil de defunción. Se analizaron estadísticamente los datos y mediante un modelo multivariado de regresión logística se evaluó el desenlace de aprobación de la solicitud pensional por sobrevivencia. Resultados: La edad promedio de los aprobados fue de 35,9 (± 9,6) y de 34,3 (± 10,4), siendo una diferencia significativa (valor p = 0,00). La mayoría de causantes fueron hombres (80,9 %), pero las mujeres tuvieron mayor porcentaje de aprobación, con diferencias significativas (valor p = 0,01). La aprobación de la solicitud fue mayor entre los 25 y 39 años. La mayoría de las reclamaciones fueron por accidentes (61,3 %), con una aprobación del 35,1 %. Las solicitudes por enfermedades fueron aprobadas en 43,5 %. Las causas externas constituyeron el principal motivo de muerte, con un 56,6 % del total, desagregadas principalmente como: muerte violenta (47,8 %), accidente no especificado (30,2 %) y accidente de tránsito (11,3 %). Conclusiones: Este trabajo aporta evidencia desde Colombia sobre cómo la aprobación de la pensión estuvo asociada con la edad del afiliado fallecido y con las características del siniestro, que lo catalogan como accidente o enfermedad, la hora de ocurrencia, la ocurrencia en horas laborales y la causa de la muerte.
Abstract Objective: To identify how sociodemographic, occupational, accident-related and affiliation factors influence the approval or non-approval of survivor's pension in a Colombian pension fund administrator between 2006 and 2011. Methodology: Cohort study based on the causal investigation forms relating to death, mandatory pension and death certificate. Data was statistically analyzed and the outcome regarding the approval of the survivor's pension request was evaluated through a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: The average age of approved cases was 35.9 (± 9.6) and 34.3 (± 10.4); a significant difference (value p = 0.00). Most of the deceased were men (80.9%), but women had a higher percentage of approval, with significant differences (p value = 0.01). Approval of the application was higher between 25 and 39 years of age. The majority of claims involved accidents (61.3%), with an approval of 35.1%. Applications involving diseases were approved in 43.5%. External causes were the main cause of death, with 56.6% of the total, divided mainly into: violent death (47.8%), unspecified accident (30.2%) and traffic collision (11.3%). Conclusions: This work provides evidence of how, in Colombia, the approval of the pension was associated with the age of the deceased member, the characteristics of the event (which is classified as an accident or a disease), the time of occurrence, the occurrence during working hours and the cause of death.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To clarify administrators' awareness of outpatient cancer nursing clinics.Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews of six administrators overseeing outpatient cancer nursing clinics and performed a qualitative, inductive analysis.Results and discussion: In this study, interviews with the administrators led to the identification of ten categories for outpatient cancer nursing clinics such as [the nurses' role in easing the concerns and worries of patients with cancer and their families], [challenges in training and securing outpatient cancer nursing clinic personnel], and [the influence of the passion and confidence of nurses on practice in outpatient cancer nursing clinics]. These interviews revealed that, in practice, outpatient cancer nursing is a useful skill for elucidating the real needs of patients and supporting their decision-making. Coordinated efforts and collaboration among human resources/disciplines may affect day-to-day outpatient cancer nursing clinics.Conclusion: This study revealed that the development of assessment indices to substantiate the accomplishment of outpatient cancer nursing clinics and the training of personnel with a high level of practical skills are two challenges for the expansion of outpatient cancer nursing clinics.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of head nurses' emotional leadership as perceived by nurses in the relationship between nurses' job stress and job satisfaction. METHODS: Study participants were 278 staff nurses currently working at two university hospitals in Busan, Korea. SPSS/WIN 21.0 program was used for data analysis to analyze descriptive statistics, t-test, correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The significance level was set at p<.05. RESULTS: Nurses' job satisfaction had a significant correlation with job stress (r=-.31, p<.001) and emotional leadership of nurse managers as perceived by nurses (r=.53, p<.001). Also, head nurses' emotional leadership experienced by nurses had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between nurses' job stress and job satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that the nurse managers' emotional leadership has an important influence on nurses' job stress and job satisfaction. Therefore, head nurses' emotional leadership is very important for effective human resource management and the hospital should offer education and training to booster head nurses' leadership by developing emotional intelligence to promote staff job satisfaction.
