ePub - Purpose
This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of perceived organizational support and coping strategies on the relationship between job stress and professional quality of life among nurse managers working in tertiary and general hospitals.
Methods
The participants were 299 nurse managers employed at tertiary and general hospitals located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Data on job stress, perceived organizational support, coping strategies, and professional quality of life were collected using an online self-report questionnaire between June 28, 2024, and May 31, 2025. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 27.0 and the PROCESS Macro ver. 4.0.
Results
Job stress was identified as a significant predictor of professional quality of life among nurse managers. Perceived organizational support and active coping demonstrated significant mediating effects on compassion satisfaction. Active coping showed a significant mediating effect on burnout, whereas perceived organizational support mediated secondary traumatic stress. Passive coping did not demonstrate a significant mediating effect on any of the three subdomains of professional quality of life.
Conclusion
Job stress is closely associated with compassion satisfaction, and this relationship is partially mediated by perceived organizational support and active coping. Accordingly, targeted interventions are required to reduce job stress, strengthen organizational support, and enhance coping competencies among nurse managers. Furthermore, reinforcing institutional- and policy-level support is essential to mitigate secondary traumatic stress and to ensure the sustainability of nurse managers’ professional roles.

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to explore the effects of a community-based first and third Intergenerational Exchange Program (IGEP) on older adults’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL), loneliness, depression, and walking speed, and on 4~5-year-old preschool children's learning-related social skills.
Methods This study employed a non-equivalent control group pre-post-test design. The experimental group included 42 older adults and 42 children who participated in the IGEP for 8 weeks, and the control group included 39 older adults. The experimental group participated in the IGEP once a week for 8 weeks. It comprised a traditional play program based on the intergroup contact theory.
Results Compared to the control group, there was a significant increase in scores on the HRQoL-Visual analogue scale (VAS) and a decrease in loneliness and depression in older adults in the experimental group (
p <.05). Children who participated in the IGEP showed an improvement in their learning-related social skills (p <.001).Conclusion These results confirm that the IGEP is an effective intervention to improve HRQoL-VAS, loneliness, and depression among older adults and learning-related social skills among preschool children in the community.
