Purpose This study aimed to identify the influences of fatigue, critical thinking, and nursing work environment on patient safety nursing behaviors among new graduate nurses. Methods: The participants were 180 new graduate nurses who had been working for less than 12 months in hospitals. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered survey from December 15 to 30, 2023. The SPSS version 29.0 program was used for data analysis, which included descriptive analysis, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: Hierarchical regression analysis showed that critical thinking (β=.32, p<.001) and department orientation (β=.31, p<.001) were significant factors influencing patient safety nursing behavior. Conclusion: These results suggest that providing sufficient departmental orientation for new graduate nurses is necessary to support accurate and safe patient safety nursing practices. In addition, it is important to foster critical thinking and to develop and implement educational programs that enhance patient safety nursing behaviors, and to establish comprehensive support systems.
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the influence of role conflict, head nurses’ super leadership and nursing organizational culture on organizational commitment among male nurses.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 221 male nurses who had worked for more than six months in university hospitals, general hospitals, and clinics. Data were collected using structured, self-administered questionnaires on role conflict, head nurse super leadership, nursing organizational culture, and organizational commitment. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis, independent t-test, analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and regression analysis.
Results: Organizational commitment had a significant positive correlation with head nurse super leadership, innovation-oriented culture, and relation-oriented culture; however, it had a significant negative correlation with role conflict and task-oriented culture. Among the general characteristics, the significant factors influencing organizational commitment among male nurses were number of beds and departments. Furthermore, among the main variables, innovation-oriented culture, task-oriented culture, role conflict, and head nurse super leadership influenced organizational commitment.
Conclusion: To increase male nurses’ organizational commitment, it is necessary to create an innovative organizational culture, reduce role conflicts, and improve head nurse super leadership.

Purpose Nurses’ burnout is at risk due to increased of respiratory infections and their high demand and expectations. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence burnout among nurses caring for patients with respiratory infections.
Methods: A total of 196 nurses caring for patients with respiratory infections from nine hospitals in Korea participated in this study. Data were collected through a structured, self-administered survey that included general characteristics, risk perception of respiratory infections, infection control fatigue, positive psychological capital, and burnout.
Results: Burnout was significantly positively correlated with infection control fatigue and significantly negatively correlated with positive psychological capital; burnout was not significantly related to risk perception of respiratory infections. Infection control fatigue, positive psychological capital and total career significantly influenced burnout. These variables accounted for 38% of the burnout among nurses caring for patients with respiratory infections.
Conclusion: Evidence-based guidelines are needed to support the ability of nurses with little experience in responding to infectious diseases and reducing infection control fatigue and providing effective educational programs at institutions that can improve the positive psychological capital of individual nurses.

Purpose This study was conducted to identify the influence of communication self-efficacy and perception of the patient safety culture on the experience of nursing errors among operating room nurses.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, with a convenience sample of 184 operation room nurses from 16 hospitals in Korea. Data were collected through a structured self-administered survey. The questionnaires included Communication, Self Efficacy, Safety Attitude Questionnaire, and experiences of nursing errors in operation room. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression.
Results: The experience of nursing errors had significant negative correlations with communication self-efficacy (r=-.39, p<.001) and perception of the patient safety culture (r=-.36, p<.001). Factors significantly influencing the experiences of nursing errors included communication self-efficacy (β=-.25, p=.002), and perception of patient safety culture (β=-.21, p=.009). The overall explanatory power was 19% (F=14.85, p<.001).
Conclusion: It is necessary to develop continuous education and programs improving communication self efficacy and perception of patient safety culture to reduce risk of nursing errors in the operating room.
