Purpose: The objective of this phenomenological study was to explore senior nursing students' experiences with the process of getting a job. Methods: Twenty-one nursing students participated in the study. The data were collected from May 2018 to October 2018 using focus group interviews and later analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: In our study, four categories, 11 theme clusters, and 32 themes were identified. The four categories were change in becoming a senior, losing strength in own heart, slightly recovering strength, and expectations and wishes from others. Conclusion: This study is meaningful because it provides basic data for multidisciplinary alternatives and the evolution of present senior nursing students to reduce job stress by understanding personal, relational, and social experiences in preparation for employment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effects of grit in the relationship between occupational stress and burnout among fire fighters. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 165 firefighters from seven fire stations in D city in Korea. The survey was conducted using a self-reporting questionnaire December 2019-January 2020. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis with the Sobel test using SPSS/WIN 22.0. Results: The occupational stress of firefighters had positive correlation with burnout (r=.68, p<.001). Occupational stress (r=-.39, p<.001) and burnout (r=-.51, p<.001) had negative correlation with grit (r=.63, p<.001). Grit had partially mediating effect on the relationship between occupational stress and burnout. Conclusion: The implications of this study indicate that grit plays a crucial role in reducing the impact of occupational stress on burnout among firefighters. Thus, it is necessary to develop a psychological program to improve grit to reduce the burnout of firefighters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and examine the effects of a simulation learning module based on schizophrenic patients care on the knowledge of schizophrenic patients care, learning self-efficacy, and nursing skill performance of nursing students. Methods: Junior nursing students with no mental health nursing experience from two different colleges in G city participated. A total of 64 participants were classified into the experimental group (31) and the control group (33). This study was conducted based on the Jeffries simulation model, and the simulation learning module based on schizophrenic patient care was developed based on the Instructional System Design simulation learning module based on schizophrenic patients care comprising the module I lecture, the module II case-based team learning, and the module III standardized patient-based simulation learning. Results: There were significant increases in the knowledge of schizophrenic patients care (t=2.85, p=.006), learning self-efficacy (t=3.42, p=.001) and nursing skill performance (t=16.69, p<.001) in the experimental group compared to the control group Conclusion: The simulation learning module based on schizophrenic patients care can be useful in the educational and clinical environment as effective strategies in contributing to nursing education and clinical changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of gambling addiction from the perspective of problematic gamblers through their life stories. Methods: A narrative approach was utilized for this study. The data were collected from June 1 to September 30, 2019, from a purposive sample of three participants by using in-depth interviews, observations, and note-taking. Results: The participants told their life stories from childhood, stressing the experiences of being abused physically and emotionally by their own families. Their life stories commonly revealed that they became involved in gambling to escape the influence of the violence they had suffered. Due to their childhood abuse experiences, they had various problems, including distorted values toward money, low self-esteem, ambivalent feelings, and a lack of interpersonal coping skills, which often contributed to their addiction problems. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it tried to understand the current addiction problem by focusing on the individual life experiences from the past to the present. Addiction recovery involves not only stopping the problematic behavior but also forming a new life meaning to lead a confident and independent future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between type D personality, positive psychological capital, emotional labor, and burnout in psychiatric nurses. Methods: The participants were 187 psychiatric nurses from 12 mental health hospitals in South Korea selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected July-August 2019 through self-reporting questionnaires. Results: Burnout significantly correlated with emotional labor, and positive psychological capital. Emotional labor, positive psychological capital, and type D personality were significant factors, explaining approximately 65.6% of the variance in burnouts. Conclusion: Based on these results, emphasizing the importance of understanding emotional labor and careful management of type D personality, an intervention program focusing on reinforcing positive psychological capital is needed to prevent burnout.

Purpose: The purpose of this mixed study was to identify educational experience and needs associated with psychiatric mental health nursing, select an educational item that was most needed for psychiatric unit nurses (Special Situation Response), and explore specific educational needs. Methods: The survey on educational experience and needs was conducted January-February 2019 with 110 nurses. Three focus group interviews on Special Situation Response were conducted simultaneously with the survey. Results: Educational experience and needs were high in the order of 'special situation response' and 'communication skills'. As for the Special Situation Response, unit managers had less educational experience than staff nurses, and specific educational needs were 'dealing with psychiatric emergencies', 'symptom management of mental illness', 'forming therapeutic relationships', and 'nursing of addicted patients'. Conclusion: Psychiatric unit nurses must be competent with the Special Situation Response. We propose theory and nursing skills training for unit managers and tailor-made education that reflects the 10 sub-categories of specific educational needs for all nurses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review workplace interventions for mental health among workers. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases to identify randomized controlled trials reported in English. Data were extracted through three steps, and 16 of 2,493 relevant studies were selected. Selected studies were rated for quality assessment using the Risk of Bias tool of Cochrane's collaboration. Results: Targets of workplace interventions were classified into general mental health (n=6), work-related stress (n=4), depressive symptoms (n=3), post-traumatic stress disorder (n=2), and self-stigma (n=1). The effects of workplace interventions were mixed regarding the aspects of mental health and work-related outcomes. Additionally, included studies had a high risk of performance bias. Conclusion: Insufficient studies exist to confirm the efficacy of workplace intervention of mental health among workers. Further research is needed to generate evidence for workplace-based mental health interventions in a variety of settings.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the experience of smoking cessation of university students who successfully quit smoking for more than six months. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews Oct 7, 2019-Dec 22, 2019 and analyzed with Colaizzi's phenomenological methodology. Results: The result was a collection of 5 theme-clusters from 14 themes, and the theme-clusters were 'recognition', 'warning', 'painstaking', 'awareness' and 'maturity'. Participants were aware of the possibility of re-smoking and the endurance of re-smoking. And they faced the temptation to smoke and actively managed it to abstain from re-smoking. Conclusion: Smoking cessation is not the end of the addiction treatment, but a new beginning that requires nursing interventions. Finally, the success of smoking cessation is a painful growth process that reflects on life and changing lifestyles.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of empowerment on the relationship between psychiatric nurses' communication ability and nursing performance. Methods: Relationships among the subjects' communication ability, empowerment, and nursing performance were identified by Pearson's correlation coefficients. The mediating effect of the empowerment between communication ability and nursing performance was analyzed based on the Baron and Kenny approach using multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Results: There was a direct relationship between the nurses' communication ability and nursing performance while caring for psychiatric patients. The empowerment had a partial significant mediating effect between communication ability and nursing performance. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop empowering intervention for psychiatric nurses with poor communication ability and low performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with nicotine addiction and coping skills in the Synthetic House-Tree-Person Drawing Test. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study. The S-HTP drawings were scored using the Buck's quantitative scoring manual. Participants completed the revised Multidimensional Coping skills questionnaire and the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale. Results: Non-smokers sketched additional decorations of a house (p=.009), 2D body parts (p<.001), and proportioned body parts (p=.001) as compared to the smokers (n=186). Smokers sketched a more disproportionate stem and branch (p=.010) and did not sketch the nose, lips, or eyes, and generally sketched 1D body parts as compared to the non-smokers (p=.001). There were correlations among the S-HTP drawings, nicotine addiction, and coping skills. The lack of additional decorations of a person, disproportionate house parts, and a lack of proportionate body parts explained 26% of the nicotine addiction (adjusted R2=.26, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the S-HTP sketches differed according to the extent of nicotine addiction and coping skills.
