Association between early career nurses’ social jetlag, affect, depression, and quality of life
No full textBackground: Social jetlag in nurses is a long-standing challenge for nursing management. It has been attributed to the effects of shift work that disrupts nurses circadian rhythms, may be detrimental to their health, and can lead to rapid turnover. Aim: We aimed to identify the association between social jetlag, affect, depression, and quality of life of early career nurses. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 201 early career nurses at three tertiary hospitals in South Korea were included. Data were collected from May to July 2018. Social jetlag, affect, depression, and quality of life were measured using the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (shift version), the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (Korean version), and the Korean World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (abbreviated version), respectively. Findings: Participants mean overall social jetlag and quality of life scores were 4 hours 28 minutes and 80.21, respectively. Multiple regression analyses identified overall social jetlag, positive and negative affect, and depression as factors influencing the nurses quality of life. Discussion: Understanding the implications of factors affecting early career nurses quality of life, including social jetlag, is vital to ensure staff retention. Nursing management should consider the individual social jetlag of nurses when scheduling shifts and accordingly create institutional human resources management strategies to reduce negative affect and depression while promoting positive affect in early career nurses. Conclusion: Social jetlag, negative affect, and depression negatively impact early career nurses quality of life, whereas positive affect positively impacts their quality of life.Y
Social jetlag and quality of life among nursing students: A cross‐sectional study
No full textAims To investigate chronotype categories and social jetlag among nursing students and to identify associations between rhythm asynchrony and participants' physical and psychological health, academic performance and quality of life. Background Social jetlag refers to the asynchrony between chronotypes and social working hours, resulting in a misalignment of biological and social time. Recent studies have reported possible changes in psychosocial functioning owing to social jetlag. Therefore, the present study investigated chronotypes and the extent of social jetlag among nursing students. Design A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015 with a sample of 346 nursing students in two universities in Korea. Methods Social jetlag and quality of life were measured with the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire and the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale, respectively, in the year 2015. Data analysis was mainly based on a multiple regression to identify social jetlag's influence on students' quality of life. Results Average social jetlag was 1 hr - 36 min. Social jetlag was negatively correlated with chronotype, academic performance and quality of life. A multiple regression analysis revealed that social jetlag, a positive emotional state, recovery resilience and depressive symptoms affected students' quality of life. These variables accounted for 41.7% of the variance in quality of life. Conclusions Results suggest that decreases in social jetlag and depressive symptoms, as well as increases in the positive emotional state and recovery resilience, enhance students' quality of life.N

No full textFactors Associated With Diabetes Self-Care Behaviors of People With Visual Impairment: A Cross-Sectional Study
No full textPurpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the factors associated with diabetes self-care behaviors (DSCB) in people with visual impairment (PVI), including demographics, disease-related characteristics, and psychosocial factors (self-efficacy, depression, and family support). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Adults with visual impairment and diabetes were recruited online and through posting notices, and a total of 141 participants were included. Measurements were completed using email and telephone surveys. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to examine the factors associated with DSCB. Results: Higher self-efficacy and positive family support were significant predictors of better DSCB, whereas higher negative family support was a significant predictor of worse DSCB. Diabetes medication regimen was another major influencing factor on DSCB. However, depression was not associated with DSCB. Conclusion: Diabetes interventions for the visually impaired should have strategies to improve vulnerable areas of diabetes self-care, such as blood glucose monitoring. Health care providers are needed to consider diabetes education programs focused on improving self-efficacy or include family members in interventions to promote DSCB in PVI. Further studies are required to understand the problems and solutions for diabetes self-care in this population.N
The influence of Sun-ju Kil, Ik-du Kim, and Young-do Yi on Protestantism in Korea
No full textThis restricted item is available to students and faculty of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary through the URI below.This dissertation examines the three greatest Korean evangelists in the early twentieth century when the gospel came to Korea and settled down. As known widely, the Korean church has grown rapidly and marvelously for the last one hundred years. There were many factors causing such a growth. The writer strongly believes that the most influencing factor is the native people whom God used for the Korean church. Those native evangelists are Sun-ju Kil, Ik-du Kim and Yong-do Yi.
God used these three native servants, not only for making the Korean church rapidly grow, but also for establishing the characteristics of the Korean church which are still clearly seen in the church today. They are the leading role models in the Korean church's growth. Without mentioning them, it is impossible to discuss the rise of Protestantism in Korea.
This dissertation is composed of six chapters. Chapter one deals with the matter of introduction. Chapter two explains Korean social realities in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, which is the context where Protestant evangelism occurred. Social, religious, and political situations and developments in Korea at that time will be examined to see how those impacted Korean Christianity.
The next three chapters examine the three evangelists (Sun-ju Kil, Ik-du Kim and Yong-Do Yi). Each chapter will be made up of each evangelist's biographic sketch, theology of evangelism, evangelistic methodology, and analysis and critique. The final chapter will consist of summary and synthesis of the evangelistic stream of Sun-ju Kil, Ik-du Kim, and Yong-Do Yi
Building on Evidence to Improve eHealth Literacy in Older Adults A Systematic Review
No full textThis review aimed to provide information on ways to improve eHealth literacy in older adults by assessing current studies examining eHealth literacy. To achieve the aim, this review focused on what theories or theoretical frameworks were used in the studies, what factors were related to eHealth literacy, and what outcome variables were used in eHealth literacy interventions for older adults. Five electronic databases were searched to identify eligible studies. The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions was followed to select relevant studies, and narrative synthesis was performed. Among a total of 27 studies, 13 described theories or theoretical frameworks. Credibility in Internet health information, knowledge, and experience were identified as modifiable factors related to eHealth literacy. The most frequently used outcome variable was eHealth literacy efficacy. Nurses who are interested in improving eHealth literacy in older adults should consider appropriate theoretical frameworks and multiple factors influencing eHealth literacy.N
Factors Influencing Hospital Nurses' Workplace Bullying Experiences Focusing on Meritocracy Belief, Emotional Intelligence, and Organizational Culture: A Cross-Sectional Study
No full textAims. To identify the factors influencing hospital nurses' workplace bullying experiences (victim and perpetrator aspects) focusing on meritocracy beliefs, emotional intelligence, and organizational culture. Background. Workplace bullying remains a major issue in nursing despite decades of research and policy-making. Therefore, comprehensively understanding the individual and institutional factors affecting workplace bullying from both the victim and perpetrator perspectives is crucial. Methods. In October 2022, 379 nurses working in South Korean tertiary hospitals were surveyed using a self-reported online questionnaire. Meritocracy beliefs, emotional intelligence, workplace bullying experiences, and nursing organizational culture were measured using the Meritocracy Belief Scale, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised, and Positive Nursing Organizational Culture Measurement Tool, respectively. Results. Gamma regression analysis revealed that, for workplace bullying, the factors influencing the victim aspect were the experience of witnessing bullying in the workplace, organizational culture, and meritocracy beliefs. In contrast, the factors affecting the perpetrator aspect were emotional intelligence, meritocracy beliefs, and experience of bullying at work. Conclusion. Decreasing nurses' degree of meritocratic hubris in a positive organizational culture and increasing their emotional intelligence are necessary to prevent and intervene in workplace bullying. Implications for Nursing Management. Targeted approaches are needed to address and mitigate the detrimental effects of factors influencing workplace bullying. These approaches could include interventions that improve nurses' emotional intelligence, assess their level of meritocracy beliefs, and offer opportunities for self-reflection on meritocratic hubris. Such initiatives may be necessary to effectively tackle workplace bullying and promote a healthier nursing work environment.N
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
