Effects of Hospital-Based Violence-Prevention and Coping Programs on Nurses’ Violence Experience, Violence Responses, Self-Efficacy, and Organizational Commitment / 간호행정학회지

Purpose@#The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of hospital-based violence-prevention and coping program on nurses' violence experience and responses, self-efficacy, and organizational commitment. @*Methods@#A non-equivalent control group with pre-post-test design was used. Participants were assigned to the experimental (n=27) or a control group (n=26) in 2 general hospitals of one city. For the experimental group, the hospital-based violence-prevention and coping programs were provided once a week for 50-60 minutes across 6 weeks (6 sessions), whereas the control group was the waiting group. @*Results@#There were significant differences in self efficacy and organizational commitment at the measured time periods. These results suggest that the effects of the program were persistent until the 4 weeks follow-up. In addition, level of emotional violence responses significantly decreased in the experimental group after 4 weeks in the period following the intervention program. @*Conclusion@#The hospital-based violence prevention and coping program developed can be an effective strategy for preventing and reducing emotional violence responses and improving self efficacy and organizational commitment. Therefore, it is recommended that the program be actively used with clinical nurses to prevent violence and to increase effective coping.

Comparison of Boys' and Girls' Families for Actor and Partner Effect of Stress, Depression and Parent-Adolescent Communication on Middle School Students' Suicidal Ideation: Triadic Data Analysis

PURPOSE: This study was done to compare families of boys or of girls for actor and partner effect of stress, depression and parent-adolescent communication as perceived by mother, father and adolescent on adolescents' suicidal ideation. METHODS: Participants were 183 families (104 boys' families, 79 girls' families) who met eligibility criteria. All measures were self-administered. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 program. RESULTS: In boys' families, boys' depression and communication with father showed actor effect on boys' suicidal ideation. Boys' stress showed indirect effect on boys' suicidal ideation through communication with father and boys' depression. Mothers' depression showed indirect partner effect on boys' suicidal ideation through boys' depression. In families of girls, girls' depression and stress showed actor effects on girls' suicidal ideation. Girls' communication with mother showed indirect effects through girls' depression. Also girls' stress showed indirect effect through girls' depression. Stress in mothers and/or fathers showed partner effect on girls' suicidal ideation. CONCLUSION: To intervene in adolescents' suicidal ideation and promote adolescents' mental health, programs should be developed differently according to gender and based on parent's psychological states.

The Effects of Self-esteem and Family Stress on Depression of Middle-aged Couples: Analysis of Actor-Partner Interdependence Model / 정신간호학회지

PURPOSE: This study was done to examine actor and partner effect of self-esteem and family stress on depression of middle-aged married couples. METHODS: Participants were 133 couples aged 40-60 years, who lived in Seoul, Incheon, or Gyeonggi provinces. All measures were self-administered. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 program. RESULTS: Husband and wife's self-esteem had an actor effect (wife beta=-.45, p<.001; husband beta=-.35, p<.001 respectively) on their depression. Wife's family stress had an actor effect (beta=.27, p=.006) on her depression and a partner effect (beta=.31, p=.002) on her husband's depression. Meanwhile, it also had an indirect effect on her depression through self-esteem (beta=-.28, p<.001). Husband's family stress did not have an actor effect or a partner effect on his depression, but it had an indirect effect on his depression through self-esteem (beta=-.35, p<.001). CONCLUSION: Results indicate that to prevent the constantly increasing depression of middle-aged married couples, programs should be conducted for both of the couple, but focused differently for wife and husband.
