Experience of Role Adaptation from Nurse to Member of the Nursing Faculty
Kwang-Ok Park, Jong Kyung Kim, Mi Yu
J Korean Acad Nurs 2016;46(2):168-182.   Published online April 29, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.2.168
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate the experience of role adaptation from nurse to member of the nursing faculty.

Methods

Data were collected from 13 members of a nursing faculty through in-depth interviews. The main question asked was "Could you describe your experience from being a nurse to becoming a member of the nursing faculty?" Qualitative data from the field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology.

Results

The core experiential category of role adaptation from nurse to member of the nursing faculty was 'striving for survival from culture shock'. The participants used the following three interactional strategies: 'recognizing everything and entering the school environment', 'self-reflection on being a professor and integration of experiences', and 'finding a way of adapting'.

Conclusion

The participants tried to adapt to life as a professor and reflected on and integrated their experiences into their new life on the faculty. College faculty need to understand the impact of changes and challenges faced by new professors during role adaptation and to support this adaptation through mentorship and organized orientation programs.

Kwang-Ok Park, Jong Kyung Kim, Myoung-Sook Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(5):761-772.   Published online October 30, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.5.761
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was done to evaluate the experience of securing patient safety in hospital operating rooms.

Methods

Experiential data were collected from 15 operating room nurses through in-depth interviews. The main question was "Could you describe your experience with patient safety in the operating room?". Qualitative data from the field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology.

Results

The core category of experience with patient safety in the operating room was 'trying to maintain principles of patient safety during high-risk surgical procedures'. The participants used two interactional strategies: 'attempt continuous improvement', 'immersion in operation with sharing issues of patient safety'.

Conclusion

The results indicate that the important factors for ensuring the safety of patients in the operating room are manpower, education, and a system for patient safety. Successful and safe surgery requires communication, teamwork and recognition of the importance of patient safety by the surgical team.

Nurses' Experience of Incivility in General Hospitals
Se Young Kim, Kwang-Ok Park, Jong Kyung Kim
J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(4):453-467.   Published online August 30, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.4.453
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

This study was done to describe nurses' experience of incivility in hospitals and to consider nurses' work environment.

Methods

Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi' phenomenological analysis methodology. Participants were seven experienced clinical nurses working on a general ward (2 nurses), or in an intensive care unit (2 nurses), emergency room (2 nurses), or operating room (1 nurse).

Results

The incivility that nurses experienced was categorized as follows: 'being afflicted as a weak person', 'being treated as less than a professional', 'being overwhelmed by shock and anger', 'experiencing an untenable situation', 'struggling to survive', and 'pursuing professional growth'.

Conclusion

Behavior guidelines should be developed to reduce incivility, and incivility cases should be continuously monitored by the nursing department. Also, to handle incivility problems in clinical nursing areas, a reporting and counseling system and education programs are needed.

Structural Equation Modeling on Nursing Productivity of Nurses in Korea
Se Young Kim, Eun-Kyung Kim, Heon Man Lim, Mi Young Lee, Kwang-Ok Park, Kyoung A Lee
J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(1):20-29.   Published online February 28, 2013
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.1.20
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to propose and test a predictive model that could explain and predict nursing productivity.

Methods

A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 360 nurses in Korea. The data were analyzed using SPSS Windows 18.0 and AMOS 19.0 program.

Results

Based on the constructed model, burnout and organizational commitment were found to have direct effects on nurses' turnover intention and nursing productivity. While nursing work environment was found to have indirect effects on nurses' turnover intention and nursing productivity.

Conclusion

This structural equational model is a comprehensive theoretical model that explains the related factors and their relationship with nursing productivity. Comprehensive organizational interventions to improve nursing productivity should focus on improving the nursing work environment. Findings from this study can be used to design appropriate strategies to decrease nurse turnover in Korea. Further studies are needed to prospectively verify these causal relationships with larger samples.

A Model on Turnover Intention of Chief Nurse Officers
Kwang-Ok Park, Jong Kyung Kim, Se Young Kim, Sunju Chang
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(1):9-18.   Published online February 29, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.1.9
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to test the turnover intention model for chief nurse officers in general hospitals. The variables for the study included job stress, social support, job satisfaction, and organization commitment.

Methods

A predictive, non-experimental design was used with a sample of 144 chief nurse officers from 144 general hospitals. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS, AMOS program.

Results

The overall fitness of the hypothetical model to the data was good (χ2=16.80, p=.052, GFI=.96, AGFI=.90, NFI=.97, CFI=.99). Job stress, social support, job satisfaction, and organization commitment explained 59.0% of the variance in turnover intention by chief nurse officers. Both organization commitment and social support directly influenced turnover intention for chief nurse officers, and job stress and job satisfaction indirectly influenced turnover intention.

Conclusion

The results imply that chief nurse officers in hospitals need social support and management of job stress to increase job satisfaction and organization commitment, and lower turnover intention.

Nurses' Experience of Career Ladder Programs in a General Hospital
Kwang-Ok Park, Myungsun Yi
J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(5):581-592.   Published online October 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.5.581
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify and describe nurses' experience of a career ladder program (CLP) in a general hospital in Korea.

Methods

The data were collected from 15 nurses who participated in the CLP. Each nurse completed individual in-depth interviews, for which the main interview question was "How do you describe your experience of CLP?". All interview data were transcribed and were analyzed using the grounded theory method.

Results

The core category of the experience of CLP was identified as "challenging to rebirth as an expert". The participants used five action/interaction strategies such as "taking some time for introspection", "appreciating the essence of nursing", "making use of feedback positively", "throwing away doubts about their own capabilities", "exerting themselves with confidence". The consequence of the process of adjusting to CLP was "positioning a differentiated expert."

Conclusion

The results of this study show that participants recognized CLP as a powerful resource which leads them to professional growth and development. Thus, CLP could be utilized as a clinical career-promoting program and ultimately as a program for providing high-quality nursing services.

J Korean Acad Nurs 2010;40(6):785-798.   Published online December 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2010.40.6.785
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the role adaptation process experienced by executive directors of nursing department of general hospitals.

Methods

Data were collected from 9 executive nursing directors though in-depth interviews about their experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director?" Qualitative data from field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss & Corbin's grounded theory methodology.

Results

The core category of experience of the process of role adaptation as an executive nursing director was identified as "entering the center with pushing and pulling". The participants used five interactional strategies; 'maintaining modest attitudes', 'inquiring about trends of popular feeling', 'making each person a faithful follower', 'collecting & displaying power', 'leading with initiative'. The consequences of role adaptation in executive nursing directors were 'coexisting with others', 'immersing in one's new role with dedication', and 'having capacity for high tolerance'. The types of role adaptations of executive directors in nursing department were friendly type, propulsive type, accommodating type.

Conclusion

The results of this study produced useful information for executive nursing directors on designing a self-managerial program to enhance role adaptation based on interactional strategies.
