Abstract PDF: Background
Nurses frequently experience physical and psychological burnout due to continuous interactions not only with patients and their families but also with various healthcare professionals. Burnout can negatively impact patient care and lead to turnover, making it crucial to identify factors contributing to nurse burnout.
Methods
This study is a descriptive correlational study aimed at examining the effects of nurses’ role conflict, emotional labor, and resilience on burnout. Data collection occurred between July 8 and July 21, 2024, from 134 nurses with at least six months of clinical experience. A structured questionnaire measured role conflict, emotional labor, resilience, and burnout. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS 25.0.
Results
Burnout significantly differed by age, work department, and job satisfaction. Nurses in their 30s, those working in general wards or special units, and those with lower job satisfaction showed higher burnout levels. Job satisfaction, resilience, role conflict, emotional labor, and work department were identified as significant factors associated with burnout.
Conclusions
Burnout among nurses is influenced by personal and work-related factors. Strategies to enhance resilience and job satisfaction, along with efforts to reduce emotional labor and role conflict, are essential to prevent and manage burnout and support nurses’ well-being.

Reliability and Validity of the Korean Version of the Suicide Rumination Scale (K-SRS): Woongsur Hur, Megan L. Rogers, Eun-Jung Shim; STRESS. 2025;33(3):163-175. Published online September 30, 2025; DOI: https://doi.org/10.17547/kjsr.2025.33.3.163

Abstract PDF: Background
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Suicide Rumination Scale [K-SRS], which assesses fixations on suicidal thoughts, intentions, and plans.
Methods
Between July 2024 and March 2025, 124 adults (aged 18 years and older) with suicidal ideation completed an online self-report survey and a behavioral task.
Results
Factor analysis supported a two-factor structure—Intrusive Rumination about Suicide and Contemplation of Suicide Methods—demonstrating excellent internal consistency (α=.96 and .93, respectively). Convergent validity was supported by significant correlations with brooding, reflective pondering, depressive rumination, and intrusive rumination (rs=.19 to .57). Discriminant validity was indicated by non-significant correlations with deliberate rumination (rs=−.01 to .01). The K-SRS demonstrated concurrent validity via associations with suicidal risk, suicidal ideation intensity, depression, and anxiety (rs=.34 to .65), and incremental validity by predicting suicide risk beyond established factors. Higher K-SRS scores among individuals with clinical levels of depression and anxiety confirmed known-group validity. The K-SRS showed acceptable discriminatory ability for past suicide attempts (AUC=.77), with a cut-off score of 13.5 (sensitivity=0.68, specificity=0.75).
Conclusions
The K-SRS is a reliable and valid measure of suicide-specific rumination and risk assessment.

Abstract PDF

Background

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between social support, pregnancy stress, and anxiety of pregnant women and to determine their effect on health-related quality of life.

Methods

A total of 202 pregnant women participated in this study. The collected data were analyzed by the frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the STATA/IC 15.1 program.

Results

As a result of this study, the major factors affecting the health-related quality of life of pregnant women were identified as anxiety, educational level, social support, and marital satisfaction. Social support has a positive effect on the health-related quality of life of pregnant women (β=0.27, p< .001), but anxiety had a negative effect (β=−0.56, p<.001).

Conclusions

When planning nursing interventions to improve the health-related quality of life of pregnant women, strategies for lowering the anxiety and improving the social support of pregnant women should be considered.

Abstract PDF: Background
Understanding and managing the health of children diagnosed with food allergies and their families are becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of parenting stress on the relationship between the health problems of children with food allergies and the perceived health status of parents.
Methods
A self-report questionnaire was administered to 80 parents of children diagnosed with allergies to determine the child’s food allergy characteristics, concerns about the child’s health, parents’ health status, and parenting stress, through which the number of allergy-inducing foods, the structural relationship between health concerns about children, parenting stress, and perceived parental health status, and the indirect effects of parenting stress were verified.
Results
Parenting stress statistically significantly mediated the relationship between children’s health problems and perceived health status of parent.
Conclusions
Reducing the parenting stress of parents of children with food allergies can increase parents’ health status. Since parental health is an important factor in child management, it is suggested that parenting stress interventions be included in the comprehensive management of children with food allergies.

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the perceived male friendliness in nursing programs and to identify the relationship of this with gender role stereotype and major satisfaction.

Methods

A convenience sample of 193 male nursing students was recruited for the cross-sectional survey design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA with the SPSS/WIN 21.0.

Results

The mean scores of male friendliness, major satisfaction, and gender role stereotype were 2.94±0.35, 3.72±0.81, and 2.58±0.53, respectively. Perceived male friendliness in nursing programs was found to be correlated with gender role stereotype (r=−.215, p<.001). Participants who completed maternal nursing courses showed lower male friendliness (t=−4.53, p<.001).

Conclusions

Improving the male friendliness of maternal nursing courses and flexible gender role stereotyping should be considered when developing effective strategies to improve male friendliness in nursing programs.

Abstract PDF

Background

This study sought to analyze the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being among undergraduates who have experienced a loss.

Methods

Subjects comprised 435 university students (258 females and 177 males), with their duration of grief experience and the elapsed period from when the loss occurred having been taken into consideration.

Results

Distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, and deliberate rumination mediated the relationship between optimism and psychological well-being sequentially. Additionally, there were significant differences between the “less than 6 months” and “more than 6 months” groups in the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being.

Conclusions

The direct path of grief avoidance to psychological well-being was not significant, but it was found to have a significant effect through the sequential mediations of intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination. This result suggests the need for active intervention to allow people to face and cope with life after a loss, without avoiding the loss experience.

Abstract PDF

Background:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of emotional labor, professional self-concept, self-efficiency and social support on burnout of emergency room nurses by verifying the level of burnout of them. Through this, we will reduce the turnover and secure professional manpower and they will provide basic data on efficient manpower management.

Methods:

The subjects of this study were 130 emergency room nurses of eight hospitals in Seoul. The collected datas were analyzed by the SPSS Version 24.0 program using the percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.

Results:

The level of emotional labor of emergency room nurses was higher than that of other nurses. Professional self-concept, self-efficiency and social support have a negative correlation with burnout and there is a positive correlation between professional self-concept, self-efficiency and social support. The major factors influencing burnout were professional self-concept, which was a significant negative influence factor, emotional labor was a significant positive influence and self-efficiency showed a significant negative influence factor.

Conclusions:

To reduce the burnout of emergency room nurses, an emotional management program, positive self-concept formation for emergency room nurses are needed. In addition, it is necessary to develop and apply a variety of intervention programs to build policy for long- term working nurse and social support systems.

Abstract PDF

Background:

This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of mindfulness on the relationship between borderline personality trait and psychological distress.

Methods:

529 female undergraduates participated to complete self-report questionnaires.

Results:

Correlational analyses showed that borderline personality trait was positively associated with psychological distress and negatively associated with mindfulness, and mindfulness was negatively related to psychological distress. Regression analyses suggested that low level of mindfulness partially mediated the relationship between borderline personality trait and psychological distress. Among mindfulness facets ‘acting with awareness,’ ‘nonjudging,’ and ‘nonreactivity’ had significant mediating effects.

Conclusions:

Borderline personality trait affects psychological distress through low mindfulness―specifically in acting with awareness, nonjudging, or nonreactivity. This finding suggests that intervention focusing on these mindfulness facets may be helpful for those with borderline trait and psychological distress.

Abstract PDF

Backgound:

This study is intended to administer stress scale, psychological well-being scale and self-efficacy scale in 279 baby boomers who were born from 1955 to 1963 residing in the P and U areas.

Methods:

Pearson’s simple correlation analysis was performed to identify the relationship between life stress, psychological well-being and self-efficacy, while hierarchical regression was used according to the procedure suggested by Baron & Kenny (1986) to figure out how self-efficacy mediates the effect of life stress on psychological well-being.

Results:

First, life stress in baby boomers has a significantly negative effect on psychological well-being and self-efficacy; second, it was confirmed that self-efficacy has a partial effect in the relationship between life stress including family, economics, health and psychological well-being.

Conclusions:

We discussed the implications and limitations of this study and whether interventions are required to improve the psychological well-being of baby boomers.

Abstract PDF

Recent national survey data suggest that lifetime prevalence of mental disorders are on the rise in South Korea while utilization of mental health services remains low. These results are disconcerting, and it is critical to find ways to increase access to mental health services and service utilization. One emerging solution is to provide psychological intervention via the Internet, and wide use of computer and mobile devices makes video-counseling a low-cost alternative to traditional face-to-face psychotherapy. In the current study, a total of 190 adults completed a questionnaire assessing the history of mental illness, experience with psychotherapy, and attitudes towards video-counseling, mainly focusing on treatment needs, future service utilization, effectiveness, and cost. Results suggest that participants endorsed the pros more strongly than the cons of video-counseling. Specifically, participants reported accessibility, privacy, and convenience as major strengths, and provider credentials and reduced confidentiality as major weaknesses. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for implementing online counseling service are further discussed.

Abstract PDF

The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of calling, meaning of work, job stress, and stress coping on organizational commitment among career soldiers. Data were collected from 160 career soldiers using a structured self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. The results showed the mean scores were organizational commitment 3.72±0.80, calling 3.00±0.66, meaning of work 3.05±0.36, job stress 2.28±0.35, active stress coping 3.67±0.36, and passive stress coping 3.16±0.41 each. Organizational commitment had positive correlation with calling (r=.19, p=.019), meaning of work(r=.45, p<.001), and active stress coping (r=.44, p<.001); but negative correlation with job stress (r=−.53, p<.001). The affecting factors were job stress (β=−.36), active stress coping (β=.18), meaning of work (β=.17), monthly income (β=−.16) in order. The explained variances for organizational commitment was 37.0% among career soldiers. Therefore, in order to improve the organizational commitment of career soldiers, it is necessary to promote active coping skills to reduce job stress and to develop educational strategies to give meaning of work as a career soldier from the period of junior leaders.

Abstract PDF

This study investigates the gender differences in the relationship between stress and quality of life in people with insomnia, and examines the possible mediating and regulating effects of psychological hardiness and social support, respectively, on these variables. The study was conducted from November 2009 to April 2010 with patients from a sleep disorders clinic in the department of neurology of a general hospital in Seoul. The data were collected from 146 subjects that were deemed suitable to participate by a sleep specialist via a questionnaire measuring their quality of life, stress, psychological hardiness, and social support. We found significant gender differences in quality of life and its sub-factor physical health, and significant but minor differences in social support and its sub-factor family support. Furthermore, a partial mediating effect was found for control and challenge attitudes—both of which are sub-factors of psychological hardiness—in the relationship between stress and quality of life for people with insomnia. The total scores of quality of life, physical health, and psychological health as well as their respective sub-factors were not significantly related with social support or its sub-factors, even when accounting for the effects of stress and its sub-factors. Although friend support had a significant effect on social relations, and support from significant others had a significant effect on quality of life measures regarding one’s environment, not all sub-factors of social support had regulating effects; for instance, social support showed no relationship with stress or its sub-factors.
