The study examined predictors of male nurse turnover intention in Korea using data collected from Korean hospitals. The results were obtained based on a secondary analysis of data previously collected from 306 male nurses in 16 regions of Korea from December 2014 to February 2015. Our findings suggest that male nurse turnover intention is predicted by (1) individual factors: single (B = 0.93, p = 0.008); (2) organizational factors: organizational commitment (B = −0.36, p < 0.001), job satisfaction (B = −0.27, p = 0.001), and job stress (B = 0.24, p < 0.001); and (3) social factors: hospital location in medium-categorized cities (B = 0.70, p = 0.012) and kinship responsibility (B = 0.13, p = 0.026). These factors accounted for 56.9% of the total variance. To lower the rate of turnover intention among male nurses, strategic interventions should be implemented based on the factors identified in this study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of cognitive flexibility and e-learning digital literacy on the learning flow of nursing students who had experienced e-learning. Methods: The research design for this study was a descriptive survey using convenience sampling. Data were collected using online questionnaires completed by 134 nursing students in A city and P city. The data were analyzed using percentages, mean values, standard deviations, Pearson‘s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SPSS for Windows version 22.0. Results: Positive correlations were found between learning flow and e-learning digital literacy (r = .43, p < .001), between learning flow and cognitive flexibility (r = .52, p < .001), and between e-learning digital literacy and cognitive flexibility (r = .65, p < .001). In the multiple regression analysis, cognitive flexibility (β = .42, p < .001) was a significant predictor that explained 27% of variance in learning flow. Conclusion: The results of this study show that cognitive flexibility is a factor influencing learning flow in nursing students. Based on the results of the study, educational programs aiming to improve learning flow should include methods that improve cognitive flexibility.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of delirium knowledge and delirium nursing confidence on delirium nursing practice among nurses working in an integrated nursing and caring services ward. Methods: This descriptive study included 102 registered nurses with a minimum of 6 months of professional experience from the integrated nursing and caring services ward of a university hospital in Uijeongbu City. Data were collected from May 10, 2023 to July 5, 2023 and were subjected to independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 27.0 program. Results: Delirium nursing knowledge was positively correlated with delirium nursing confidence (r=.25, p=.01). Delirium nursing confidence was positively correlated with delirium nursing performance (r=.41, p<.001). Factors influencing delirium nursing performance were delirium nursing confidence (β=.32, p=.001), marital status (β=.21, p=.016), and delirium education experience (β=-.19, p=.032). The model used in this study explained 27% of the variance in delirium nursing performance (adjusted R2=0.27, F=8.46, p<.001). Conclusion: This study identified factors that influence delirium nursing performance of nurses in an integrated nursing and caring services ward in a university hospital. Based on the findings, delirium nursing education programs should include strategies that can improve delirium nursing confidence. Further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of developing a delirium nursing practice improvement program and guideline that reflects the characteristics of integrated nursing and caring services wards.
