Abstract

Objectives: Nurses face mental health issues like emotional labor, stress, and depression, increasing the risk of medical errors. This study assesses the mental health and medical errors among nurses in Korean medicine clinics in South Korea.

Methods: The cross-sectional analysis involved 83 nurses, examining relationships between emotional labor, stress, depression, cognitive failure, Hwa-byung (HB) (a syndrome of suppressed anger in Korean culture), and medical errors. It identified factors associated with HB and medical errors using multiple regression analysis, presenting their odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: The findings revealed a current HB prevalence of 19.28% and a 6-month medical error prevalence of 16.87% among participants. The regression analysis showed that higher levels of depression (OR = 1.368, 95% CI = 1.098 to 1.703, p = 0.005), cognitive failure (OR = 1.072, 95% CI = 1.011 to 1.136, p = 0.020), and HB trait (OR = 1.136, 95% CI = 1.005 to 1.284, p = 0.041) significantly correlated with HB presence.

Conclusion: This groundbreaking study on this previously under-researched nurse workforce highlights the critical need for comprehensive mental health care, with the objective of significantly enhancing their mental well-being and improving their overall work environment.

韩医诊所护理人员的心理健康与医疗失误：韩国首次调查。

目标：护士面临着情绪劳动、压力和抑郁等心理健康问题，从而增加了发生医疗事故的风险。本研究评估了韩国韩医诊所护士的心理健康和医疗事故：这项横断面分析涉及 83 名护士，研究了情绪劳动、压力、抑郁、认知障碍、Hwa-byung（HB）（韩国文化中一种压抑愤怒的综合征）和医疗事故之间的关系。研究采用多元回归分析法确定了与 HB 和医疗失误相关的因素，并给出了这些因素的几率比（ORs）和 95% 的置信区间（CIs）：结果：研究结果显示，参与者目前的 HB 患病率为 19.28%，6 个月的医疗事故患病率为 16.87%。回归分析显示，抑郁程度较高（OR = 1.368，95% CI = 1.098 至 1.703，p = 0.005）、认知障碍（OR = 1.072，95% CI = 1.011 至 1.136，p = 0.020）和 HB 特质（OR = 1.136，95% CI = 1.005 至 1.284，p = 0.041）与 HB 存在显著相关：这项针对以往研究不足的护士队伍的开创性研究强调了对全面心理健康护理的迫切需求，其目的是大幅提高护士的心理健康水平并改善其整体工作环境。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
