Information and General Guidance for Healthcare Professionals in the Fourth Wave of COVID-19: Kim, Jeung-Im , Yu, Mi , Yu, Soyoung , Park, Jin-Hee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2021;51(4):395-407. Published online August 31, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.21137

The COVID-19 curve seesawed and reached the fourth pandemic in July 2021. Since the first three waves, the focus has been on achieving herd immunity through vaccination while a lot of manpower is used for quarantine. However, we have not been able to prevent the fourth wave. The causes are thought to be related to people who doubt the safety of the vaccine and refuse it or violate quarantine guidelines such as social distancing. This study examined guidelines for preventing and controlling COVID-19, the accuracy of vaccination-related information, and described quarantine measures including for those who completed vaccination. In conclusion, prevention and vaccination are the most effective countermeasures against COVID-19. We recommend people vaccination with self-quarantine. Also, it is necessary to make large investments to protect and support nurses in future pandemics.

Prediction Model for Nursing Work Outcome of Nurses - Focused on Positive Psychological Capital: Soon Neum Lee, Jung A Kim; J Korean Acad Nurs 2020;50(1):1-13. Published online January 31, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2020.50.1.1

Abstract PDF

Abstract Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model on nursing work outcomes based on Youssef and Luthans’ positive psychological capital and integrated conceptual framework of work performance.

Methods:

This study used a structured questionnaire administered to 340 nurses. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Results:

Positive psychological capital showed indirect and direct effects on job satisfaction, retention intention, organizational citizenship behavior, and nursing performance. While, the nursing work environment had direct and indirect effects on job satisfaction and nursing performance, it only had indirect effects on intention to work and organizational citizenship behavior. Additionally, a mediating effect on retention intention and organizational citizenship behavior was found between job satisfaction and nursing performance variables.

Conclusion:

The nursing organization needs to build a supportive work environment and reinforce positive psychological capital to improve nursing performance. Additionally, it needs to actively manage the necessary parameters involved in the stages of job satisfaction, retention intention, nursing performance, and organizational citizenship behavior of nurses. The findings propose the continuous management of nursing personnel based on nurses’ attitude outcome, behavioral intention, behavioral outcome, and stage of role performance.

Comparison of Antimicrobial Effect of Alcohol Gel according to the Amount and Drying Time in Health Personnel Hand Hygiene: Yoon Jung Ji, Jae Sim Jeong; J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(3):305-311. Published online June 28, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.3.305

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of alcohol gel according to the amount and drying time in health personnel hand hygiene and to promote in their practice adequate and effective hand hygiene.

Methods

The cross-over experimental study was performed with 14 volunteers. Hands were artificially contaminated with 5 mL of 10⁸ CFU/mL of Serratia marcescens (ATCC 14756) and four different alcohol gel hand hygiene methods varying by the amount of alcohol gel (2 mL vs. 1 mL) and drying time (complete vs. incomplete) were compared. Samples were collected by glove juice sampling procedures.

Results

Mean log reduction values of the four different hand hygiene methods were 2.22±0.36, 1.26±0.53, 1.49±0.60, 0.89±0.47 respectively for the 4 groups: adequate amount (2mL) and complete dry (30 seconds rubbing followed by 2 min air-dry), inadequate amount (1 mL) and complete dry, adequate amount and incomplete dry (15 seconds rubbing and no air-dry), and inadequate amount and incomplete dry. The difference was statistically significant in the adequate amount and complete dry group compared to other three groups (p<.001).

Conclusion

Only alcohol gel hand hygiene with adequate amount and complete drying was satisfactory by U.S. FDA-TFM efficacy requirements for antiseptic hand hygiene products.

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.
