Influencing Factors and Consequences of Near Miss Experience in Nurses’ Medication Error: Jin Hee Park, Eun Nam Lee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2019;49(5):631-642. Published online January 15, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2019.49.5.631

Abstract Purpose

This study aimed to predict the influencing factors and the consequences of near miss in nurses’ medication error based upon Salazar & Primomo's ecological system theory.

Methods

A convenience sample of 198 nurses was recruited for the cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from July to September 2016. Using the collected data, the developed model was verified by structural equation modeling analysis using SPSS and AMOS program.

Results

For the fitness of the hypothetical model, the results showed that χ 2 (χ ²=258.50, p<.001) was not fit, but standardized χ ² (χ ²/df=2.35) was a good fit for this model. Additionally, absolute fit index RMR=.06, RMSEA=.08, GFI=.86, AGFI=.81 reached the recommended level, but the Incremental fit index TLI=.82, CFI=.85 was not enough to reach to the recommended level. With the path diagram of the hypothetical model, caution (β=-.29 p<.001), patient safety culture (β=-.20, p=.041), and work load (β=.18, p=.037) had a significant effect on the near miss experiences in nurses’ medication error, while fatigue (β=-.06, p=.575) did not affect it. Moreover, the near miss experience had a significant effect on work productivity (β=-.25, p=.001).

Conclusion

These results have shown that to decrease the near miss experience by nurses and increase their work productivity in hospital environments would require both personal and organizational effort.

Usefulness of Korean Version of Behavioral Cue Checklist for Predicting of Patient Violence in Emergency Departments: Jang Mi Kim, Eun Nam Lee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2018;48(3):289-297. Published online January 15, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2018.48.3.289

Abstract PDF: Abstract Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a behavioral cue checklist (BCC) containing 17 items developed by Wilkes et al. (2010) for identifying potentially violent patients in emergency departments.
Methods
This was a prospective observational study to evaluate the usefulness of the Korean version of a BCC (K-BCC) as an assessment tool for predicting patient violence in emergency departments, and was conducted over 4 weeks in a regional emergency medical center located in B City. A total of 1,324 patients were finally analyzed.
Results
Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate whether each item of the K-BCC predicts violence, and a parsimonious set of 8 statistically significant items was selected for the tool. Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the BCC showed that the area under the curve was .97 (95% confidence interval: .94~1.0). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value at the cut-off score of 2 were 75.6%, 98.9%, 68.2%, and 99.2%, respectively.
Conclusion
The K-BCC was found to be useful in predicting patient violence toward emergency department staff. This tool is simple, and fast to use and can play a significantly role identifying potentially violent patients. Owing to this advance identification, this tool can be helpful in preventing the potential for violence from manifesting as violent behaviors.

Abstract PDF

Purpose

To investigate the validity and reliability of the Korean Version of the Assault Response Questionnaire (ARQ-K) measuring the intensity of reaction to victimization of emergency nurses in Korea.

Methods

An internal consistency reliability and construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted using SPSS WIN (20.0) and AMOS (20.0). Survey data were collected from 321 nurses who worked in 3 levels - wide regional emergency centers, regional emergency centers, appointed emergency centers - of emergency care facilities in Busan, Korea.

Results

The Cronbach's alpha values regarding internal consistency were .77~.93 for the subscales of ARQ-K. Factor loadings of the 26 items on the four subscales ranged from .59 to .84. The four-subscale model was validated by confirmatory factor analysis (χ²/df=3.85, p < .001, RMR=.06, GFI=.80, NFI=.81, TLI=.83, CFI=.85, RMSEA=.09).

Conclusion

This study shows that the Korean Version of the Assault Response Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess nurses' reaction to victimization of emergency nurses in Korea.

The Reactions of Emergency Department Nurses to Violence: Q-Methodological Approach: Eun Young Park, Ji Min Seo, Hyeon Ok Ju, Eun Nam Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(5):762-771. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.5.762

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the reactions of emergency department nurses to violence.

Methods

Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. Thirty emergency department nurses classified 33 selected Q-statements into a normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using the Quanl PC Program.

Results

Three types of reactions to violence were identified. The first type(emotional and physical reactions) showed a sense of regret on the selection of an occupation and emotional and physical reactions such as anxiety, fear, depression, hopelessness, heart palpitations and trembling hands due to the violence. The second type(problem solving) actively coped to prevent the occurrence of violence, grasped the causes of violence and sought out a problem solving plan. The third type(anger reactions) felt a lot of anger against violence, and resented their reality of working under conditions of inadequately secured facilities and systems.

Conclusion

The emotional and physical reactions type and the anger reactions type should be required to attend educational programs to improve attitudes and abilities to solve the problems in a more active and positive manner.

The Attitudes of Nurses Toward Transsexuals: Eun Nam Lee, Ji Min Seo, Hyeon Ok Ju, Young Sun Song, Dong Mei Lee, Bok Nam Lee, Sun Mi Shin, Yeon Hee Ju, Ok Hee Choi, Yeong Hee Heo; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2006;36(7):1242-1252. Published online December 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2006.36.7.1242

Abstract PDF: Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the attitude of nurses toward transsexuals.
Method
The Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. Twenty-nine nurses classified the 50 selected Q-statements into a normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using the Quanl PC program.
Result
Four types of attitudes toward transsexuals were identified. The first type (humanitarian acceptance) showed an attitude of respecting transsexuals as human beings and understanding and accepting their desires and difficulties. The second type (superficial understanding) understood the psychological conflicts and suffering of transsexuals but could not accept them as members of families or society. The third type (insufficient understanding) did not feel a sense of rejection toward transsexuals but showed a lack of understanding of their desires and difficulties. The fourth type (rejection) failed to understand the desires and difficulties of transsexuals and showed a sense of rejection toward them, in addition to regarding them as sexually immoral people.
Conclusion
The results of the study indicate that different approaches of educational programs based on the four types of attitudes toward transsexuals are recommended.

Influence of Lifetime Sports Activity Based on a Ground Reaction Force on Bone Mineral Density in Korean Adults: Eun Nam Lee, Mary Kathleen Clark; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2005;35(3):621-630. Published online June 30, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2005.35.3.621

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively describe the childhood sports activity level of Korean adult men and women and to determine whether a higher level of childhood sports activity was positively associated with adult bone mineral density.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of 100 Korean men (n=40) and women (n=60) was completed. Participants completed a detailed lifetime sports activity questionnaire and had their bone mineral density of the femur and lumbar spine measured using dual energy x-ray densitometry (DEXA). All sports activities were classified into four categories of peak strain score on the basis of ground reaction forces (GRF).

Results

During the age of high school, women and men who participated in a high intensity sports activity demonstrated higher bone density in the femur site after adjustment for the effects of body weight, fat body mass, lean body mass, the level of calcium intake, and breast feeding period than those who did not participate in sports activity at all.

Conclusion

These results highlight the need to participate in high intensity sports activity during high school age as a means of increasing peak bone mass in the femur site.

The Effects of Tai Chi Exercise Program on Blood Pressure, Total Cholesterol and Cortisol Level in Patients with Essential Hypertension: Eun Nam Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(5):829-837. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.5.829

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 6-week Tai Chi exercise program on reducing blood pressure for hypertensive patients.

Method

A non-equivalent pretest-posttest experimental design was used. Participants were recruited from the Community Health Center in Busan, Korea. Twenty-eight hypertensive patients participated in this study. Among them, fourteen were in the experimental group and the rest are in the control group. Members in the experimental group participated in a 6- week program of Tai Chi exercise. In order to evaluate the effects of the Tai Chi program, blood pressure, total cholesterol, and cortisol level were measured before and after week 6.

Result

After the 6-week Tai Chi program, there were significant differences in systolic pressure (t=-3.13, p= .004) and diastolic blood pressure (t=-4.75, p= .000) in the experimental group when compared to the control group. However there were no significant differences in the total cholesterol (t=1.07, p=.294) and cortisol level (F=1.35, p= .256).

Conclusion

These results suggest that a 6-week Tai Chi program can be utilized as an effective nursing program to reduce blood pressure for hypertensive patients.

The Influencing Factors of the Compliance Level with Therapeutic Regimen after the Bone Mineral Densitometry: Young Won Yoo, Eun Nam Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(1):63-71. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.1.63

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was to identify the influencing factors of the compliance level to a therapeutic regimen after a bone mineral densitometry test.

Method

The sample for the study was 95 people who took the bone mineral densitometry test from March, 2002 to July, 2002. Data was collected by mail using aself reporting questionnaire on the selected variables such as the compliance level, self efficacy, health locus of control, susceptibility, severity, usefulness, barrier, and self esteem.

Result

The average compliance level was 63.93. Through multiple regression, three independent variables including chance health locus of control on personality, the result of bone mineral density and self-efficacy were entered in the model as the significant determinants of the compliance level after a bone mineral densitometry test. The coefficients of determination of each variable were 10.9%, 8.3% and 8.1% respectively.

Conclusion

The identification of the determinants of the compliance level to the therapeutic regimen after bone mineral densitometry is expected to contribute to the development of an intervention program to improve the compliance level to the therapeutic regimen in osteoporosis patients.

The Relationship of Bone Mineral Densities and Period of Breast feeding in Premenopausal Women: Eun Nam Lee, Eun Ok Lee, Gwang Hae Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2000;30(1):29-38. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2000.30.1.29

Abstract PDF

To determine whether personal history of lactation in premenopausal women influence bone mineral density, a cross-sectional study was conducted. One hundred eighty-four premenopausal women were selected from women who had been checked for bone mineral density by dual energy x-ray absortiometry in lumbar spine, femoral neck, Ward's triangle, and trochanteric site at general hospitals in Seoul and Pusan. They completed a questionnaire including life style factors and reproductive history. In the data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test any association between individual variables and bone mineral density and a statistical comparisons between long term lactation(>24 months) and short term lactation(<24 months) were made by one way analysis of covariance. The results were summarized as follows: 1) There was no significant difference in the bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae in premenopausal women between the long term lactation group(>24months) and the short term lactation group(<24months). 2) There was no significant difference in the bone mineral density of the femur neck, Ward's triangle, and trochanteric site in premenopausal women between the long term lactation group (>24months) and the short term lactation group (<24months). Considering these results, we suggest prospective studies that measure bone mineral density before and after, in addition to those during lactation. We also suggest the further study with premenopausal women less than 35 who have achieved peak adult bone mass.

Resourcefulness: A Concept Analysis: Soon Rim Suh, Young Im Park, Sung Jae Kim, In Ja Kim, Mee Ock Gu, Young Hee Yang, Eun Nam Lee, Song Ja Park, Eun Ok Choi, Dong Suk Lee, In Sook Lee, Eun Ok Lee; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1997;27(2):329-340. Published online March 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1997.27.2.329

Abstract PDF

Resourcefulness was analyzed by Walker and Avant's method to make a theoretical framework for nursing. Also, the appropriate Korean terminology was identified. "Resourcefulness" means the ability to use internal and external resources to eliminate or to control stress. 'Resourcefulness' is chosen to be the most appropriate term to reflect the concept of resourcefulness. Upon the concept analysis availability, controllability, confidence, and self-instruction were identified as the defining characteristics of resourcefulness. Contrary to other work, "availability" means the ability to use the social resources as well as the internal cognitive-behavioral resources. "Controllability" means the ability to delay or control immediate gratification of one's needs or to divert one's own mood in order to solve problem. "Confidence" is the self-efficacy belief in one's control ability. "Self-instruction" is the cognitive ability to instruct oneself positively. Resourcefulness is learned by active experience, vicarious experience, and formal or informal instruction or a need for change. As a result of the use of resourcefulness, the target behavior performed immediately and ultimately improve the quality of life or adaptation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the instrument including the defining attributes identified in this study. Also, it is necessary to simultaneously analyze the related concepts of self-efficacy, self-control, and self-regulation for appropriate use.

The Relationship Between Hardiness and Psychosocial Adjustment of Persons With a Colostomy: Eun Nam Lee; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1991;21(2):218-229. Published online March 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1991.21.2.218

Abstract PDF: The problem addressed by this study were to explore the effect of hardiness on psychosocial adjustment of persons with a colostomy and to identify factors which influence that psychosocial adjustment. The purpose was to suggest a theoretical base for the planning of supportive nursing interventions to increase the level of adjustment. Among members of the Korea Ostomy Association, 34 subjects who had undergone colostomy from March, 1990 to March, 1991 were selected as the sample. Data were collected from April 8 to May 8, 1991 using a mailed questionnaire. The instruments used for this study were the Health-Related Hardiness Scale(Pollock, 1984) and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale(Derogatis, 1975). ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and Stepswise Multiple Regression were used for data analysis. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. Hardiness was significantly related to psychosocial adjustment(p=0.009). That is, the higher the hardiness, the higher the level of psychosocial adjustment. 2. Among the demographic variables, only economic level was significantly related to the level of psychosocial adjustment(p=0.005). 3. The important factors influencing the level of psychosocial adjustment of persons with a colostomy were economic level, commitment, challenge(subconcepts of hardiness). Therefore, in order to increase the level of the psychosocial adjustment, it might be helpful to provide them with hardiness training to strengthen their commitment and their challenge.
