“…In this study, when ICU nurses were asked whether they had a good working environment, their average response fell between ‘disagree’ and ‘somewhat’. This finding is comparable with the results of previous studies of nursing work environments in South Korea (Oh & Kim, 2016). In contrast, studies examining nursing work environments in the United States generally indicate that nurses perceive their work environment to be healthy and positive (Smith, Morin, & Lake, 2018; Wei et al, 2018).…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate potential factors that influence nursing performance in South Korean intensive care units (ICUs). Background: As nursing performance is directly related to patient outcomes in the ICU setting, identifying factors related to nursing performance at various levels could contribute to improving those outcomes. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed with a convenience sample of 177 nurses having worked at least 6 months in an ICU. Data were collected from 2 to 16 March 2018. Results: Workplace incivility from supervisors and patients and their families was negatively related to nursing performance, whereas a relation-oriented culture and task-oriented culture were positively related to nursing performance. The factors that predicted nursing performance were nurse age and a task-oriented culture. Conclusion: Based on study findings, hospitals should focus on mitigating workplace incivility to help improve the nursing performance. Also, hospitals should develop strategies to assess organizational culture and foster relation-and task-oriented culture to maximize nursing performance.

“…To date, only a single study (Kang, ) has identified a traditional pattern of governance, indicating that Korean nurses have little decision‐making involvement in hospitals. In recent studies, nurses' clinical decision‐making ability has been shown to be closely related to insufficient human resources (Oh & Kim, ) because of high turnover rates due to heavy workloads and the concentration of nursing staff in metropolitan areas and large hospitals in South Korea (Kim et al, ). Therefore, given the importance of professional governance and the paucity of studies on this issue, more studies examining professional governance in South Korea are greatly needed.…”

Aim To investigate the relationships among structural empowerment, professional governance, autonomy and job satisfaction in the Korean nurses and to provide a more in‐depth explanation of the nature of professional governance as a process. Background Professional governance in nursing is a key component in the Magnet Recognition Program. However, little is known about professional governance in the Korean nursing. Methods A sequential, explanatory, mixed‐method study with the Korean nurses (n = 208). Results The quantitative findings showed that decision‐making among the Korean nurses fell on a continuum of professional governance directed by managers. The mediating effects of professional governance on the relationships between structural empowerment and autonomy and between structural empowerment and job satisfaction were significant. The qualitative findings described the inhibitors and facilitators of professional governance. Conclusion The findings of this study highlight the significance of professional governance in providing nurses with more control over nursing practice and patient care and in encouraging nurses’ involvement in organizational decision‐making. Implications for Nursing Management Health care organizations should establish internal policies that give nurses the power to voice their opinions on inpatient care, encourage unit managers to create a positive nursing work environment through support and recognition and have nurses set council activity goals based on their needs.

“…Resilience refers to the overall ability of a person to respond flexibly to violent situations or urgent changes as a positive force that can be used as a springboard to overcome various types of adversity and changing situations [ 11 ]. Therefore, resilience can be defined as a potential force that effectively overcomes the various and frequent stressful situations experienced by emergency room nurses, and it is essential to raise individual resources and strengths [ 12 , 13 ]. In order to promote the healing and well-being of patients in the urgent situation of the emergency room environment, resilience is an essential requirement for emergency room nurses.…”

“…In order to enhance nursing performance, emergency room nurses must first be provided with an environment in which they can properly solve nursing problems based on emergency patient information [ 16 , 17 ]. Even if exposed to a dangerous environment, demonstrating excellent resilience can result in improved nursing performance [ 12 , 13 ]. Resilience is a positive factor that can effectively overcome adversity experienced by individuals and at the same time overcome the stress they face.…”

In urgent situations where tensions and conflicts are amplified, emergency room nurses are vulnerable to violence and are exposed to dangerous situations because they are confronted by patients or caregivers. This study sought to examine the relationship between violence experience, resilience, and nursing performance among emergency room nurses in South Korea. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. The study participants included 130 nurses working in the emergency room of a general hospital. Measures included the general characteristics list, the violence experience tool, the resilience tool, and the nursing performance tool. Data were collected from February to March 2021. In this study, among the forms of violence experienced by emergency room nurses, verbal violence was most prevalent. The violence experiences showed significant differences according to age, clinical experience, work experience in the emergency room, position, and job satisfaction. Resilience displayed significant differences according to marital status, clinical experience, position, average monthly salary, and job satisfaction. Nursing performance showed significant differences based on gender, age, marital status, clinical experience, work experience in the emergency room, position, average monthly salary, and job satisfaction. There was a positive correlation between resilience and nursing performance. This study suggests that emergency room nurses in Korea experienced more verbal violence than other types of violence. The violence experiences, resilience, and nursing performance showed significant differences according to the general and job-related characteristics of the study participants. Concrete strategies and interventions to reduce the frequency of experiences of verbal violence among emergency room nurses, increase their resilience, and improve the nursing performance of emergency room nurses are needed.
