Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of video-based admission education on anxiety and education satisfaction of patients in ROK military hospitals. Methods: This study used a nonequivalent control group and non-synchronized post-test design. There were 128 patients who participated in this study. Among them, 64 subjects were in an experimental group and 64 subjects were in a control group. A video-based admission education program was provided to the experimental group, and admission education using brochure was provided to the control group. Data were collected from July to September, 2022. Data were analyzed by using SPSS program. Results: There was no significant differences between the experimental and the control group in anxiety (t=0.640, p=.523). However, we found significant differences in education satisfaction (t=3.635, p<.001) between the two groups. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that video-based admission education could be an effective intervention for patients and healthcare providers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the influencing factors of clinical nursing performance competency among Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy (KAFNA) cadets with the aim of providing foundational data to enhance clinical nursing performance. Methods: This study was a descriptive study, with a sample size of 122, 3rd and 4th year cadets at KAFNA. Data was collected through a self-reported online survey platform from July 5, 2021 to November 2, 2021. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The level of clinical reasoning competency, nursing process competency, communication skills, and clinical nursing performance competency of KAFNA cadets was found to be moderate or above compared to general nursing students. The clinical nursing performance competency of the cadets showed a positive correlation with clinical reasoning competency (r=.84, p<.001), nursing process competency (r=.78, p<.001), and communication skills (r=.58, p<.001). According to the results of a stepwise multiple regression, clinical reasoning competency (β=.63, p<.001), nursing process competency (β=.11, p=.297), communication skills (β=.17, p=.005), and satisfaction with nursing major (β=.34, p=.042) were significant, and these factors explained 73.8% of the variance in clinical nursing performance competency, which was statistically significant (F=82.38, p<.001). Conclusion: Based on these research results, it is suggested that in order to improve the clinical nursing performance competency of KAFNA cadets, educational programs should be operated to enhance their clinical reasoning competency, nursing process competency, and communication skills.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the level of perceived stress, meaning of life, and social support on psychological trauma and identify factors that influence the psychological trauma of military hospital nursing staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive predictive design was used. Data were collected using questionnaires from a convenience sample of 115 military hospital nursing staff who had experience in caring for COVID-19 patients in 2021. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean scores of the perceived stress, meaning of life, social support, and psychological trauma were 17.05, 51.44, 55.78, and 24.69 respectively. Psychological trauma differed significantly according to age (F=5.49, p=.005), clinical career (F=3.56, p=.014), and position (F=8.11, p=.001). Psychological trauma was correlated with social support (r=-.31, p=.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that psychological trauma accounted for 16.0% of the variance by position (β=0.40, p=.003), and social support (β=-0.26, p=.004) (F=5.29, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of the study show that social support and nursing staff’s position are important determinants of psychological trauma in military hospital nursing staffs. These results suggest that strategies focusing on social support and the promotion of the mental health of nursing civilians should be developed to reduce the psychological trauma of nursing staff in military hospitals.
