The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Work Environment Studies

Background:

  • The hospital nursing work environment significantly impacts nurse retention and patient outcomes.
  • A validated assessment tool is needed to systematically evaluate the Korean nursing work environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Korean Work Environment Scales for Clinical Nurses (KWES-CN).
  • To provide a comprehensive tool for assessing key factors within the hospital nursing work environment in Korea.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 564 clinical nurses from 13 hospitals across South Korea.
  • Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis using SPSS software.
  • Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.

Main Results:

  • The final KWES-CN comprises 39 items across nine factors: manager leadership, supportive environment, patient care, ward violence, supplies, hospital support, recognition, work schedule satisfaction, and computer issues.
  • The nine factors explained 58.7% of the total variance.
  • The tool demonstrated good reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87.

Conclusions:

  • The KWES-CN is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the hospital nursing work environment in Korea.
  • This tool can guide interventions to improve nursing work conditions and potentially enhance patient care quality.
  • Further research is recommended to confirm reliability and validity and explore correlations with nursing quality and patient outcomes.
