Purpose This study aimed to compare the value congruence of nurse-patient assignment (NPA) with work performance in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Methods: Data were collected with 30-items on factors that affect NPA and 17-items on work performance. Two questionnaire surveys each were conducted with 79 nurses from the NICU. The difference between expectations and actual experience on NPA were analyzed, and the effects of NPA on work performance and overtimes were investigated. The collected data were analyzed with a paired t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients using the SPSS software version 20.0.
Results: The NPA criteria were surveyed with 30 items, with 13 patient-related, and 17 nurse-related. The validity of the tool was S-CVI .95 and the reliability (Cronbach’s ⍺) was .942. There were significant differences based on age (F=3.69, p=.029) and caring for patients on an artificial ventilator (t=2.55, p=.013). The higher the patient-related actual assignment score, the higher the nurse-related actual assignment score (r=.68, p<.001) and work performance (r=.48, p<.001). As the nurse-related actual assignment score increased, work performance also increased significantly (r=.36, p=.001).
Conclusion: It was confirmed that the value congruence of NPA is positively correlated with work performance.

PURPOSE With the rapid increase in information technology in the medical environment, protection of patient's privacy is a crucial issue to hospital nurses. The purpose of this study was to determine neonatal nurses' perception and performance of behavior to protect patient privacy, and professional self-concept, and to investigate the relationships among these variables. METHODS The participants in this descriptive correlation study were 182 nurses in nursery and neonatal intensive care units using EMR or OCS in November, 2011. RESULTS Perception and performance averaged 4.61 and 4.04 (out of 5) respectively, and the average score for professional self-concept was 2.73 (out of 4). There was a significant difference between perception and performance. The performance of behaviour to protect patient privacy had a positive correlation with perception and professional self-concept. Multiple regression analysis showed that the key determinants of performance were recognition of necessity of patient privacy education, professional self-concept and perception, and these explained 36% of the total variance of performance. CONCLUSION Study results indicate a need to establish policy to protect privacy of neonates and their families, and to develop educational programs to enhance neonatal nurses' perception and performance.

PURPOSE This study was done to identify differences in work environment, work stress, turnover intention and burnout and investigate the relationship among these variables in nurses in Korean Neonatal Intensive Care Units. METHODS Participants were 242 nurses working in 13 general hospitals. Burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), work stress with the instrument by Gu & Kim (1994), and turnover intention with the scale by Kim & Lee (2001). Size of the NICU, nurse to patient ratio, and communication satisfaction were included in work environment. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis with SPSS WIN program. RESULTS The mean score for work stress in NICU nurses was 3.43 points, for burnout, 2.72 points, and for turnover intention, 4.64 points. Burnout and turnover intention level of participants were moderate-high. Work stress, communication dissatisfaction with physician, and clinical career accounted for 33% of variance in burnout. Significant differences were found between size of NICU and staffing related to environmental characteristics in turnover intention and burnout. CONCLUSIONS Results indicate that effective communication with coworkers and institutional support for appropriate staffing according to number of beds will help to prevent work stress, burnout, and ultimately, nurses' resignations.
