Methods: The participants of this study were 148 female nurses who have clinical experience for more than 1 year at K hospital and pregnant nurses among them were excluded. The data were collected from February 27th to March 20th, 2019. The measurements of medication errors, fatigue, labor intensity, quality of sleep, and job stress were used. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: The predictive factors associated with nurses’ medication errors were clinical experience (β= -0.41), fatigue (β= 0.31), work department emergency room (β= 0.28), work department surgery ward (β= 0.25), and job stress (β= 0.23). The results showed that the nurses who had less clinical experience and felt more fatigue or job stress, were likely to have more medication errors. Also, the nurses who work in emergency room or surgery units, experience more medication errors. Conclusions: Clinical experience, fatigue, work area-emergency room, work area-surgery word and job stress were the main influential factors on medication errors of clinic nurse. Theses influential factors should be integrally considered in nursing management to decrease medication errors. Especially, it is needed to develop a programs that can indirectly improve clinical experience to prevent medication errors.","PeriodicalId":91119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health informatics","volume":"46 1","pages":"19-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42431389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, East Asian countries that shared a traditional culture of son preference reported unnaturally high sex ratios at birth [3]. In China, Taiwan, South Korea, India, and Viet Nam, the sex ratios at birth were 108 or more males (per 100 females) at some point by the early 2000s; this imbalance was attributed to son preference and sex selection [4].

Methods: This study used birth certificate data (1,523,594 births) from Korea Statistics, 2015-2018 years. Odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by logistic regression analyses to describe the risk of PTB and LBW in extramarital birth adjusted for maternal age, maternal education, infantile sex, and type of birth (singleton & multiple birth). Results: During this periods, the rate of extramarital birth was 1.9 percent in 2015-2018. The incidence of LBW was 8.4 percent in extramarital birth and 5.9 percent in marital birth. The rate of PTB in extramarital birth were 10.6 percent and 7.3 percent in marital birth. The LBW and PTB rate of extramarital birth (father listed on the birth certificate) was 7.4 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively. Among extramarital birth (father not listed on the birth certificate) was associated with increased risk of PTB (12.3%) and LBW (9.5%). Compared with LBW and PTB rate of marital birth, the odds ratio (OR) for LBW and PTB were 1.66 (95% confidence interval, 95% CI: 1.56-1.77) and 1.57 (95% CI: 1.49-1.67) for extramarital birth (father listed). Risk of LBW (OR: 2.14) and PTB (OR: 2.14) was higher in extramarital birth (father not listed) than that of marital birth. Conclusions: The babies born to unmarried parents was associated with increased risk of LBW and PTB, compared with those of marital birth. Risk of adversed pregnancy outcome was higher in extramarital birth (father not listed on the birth certificate).

Methods: This is a retrospective study and we extracted data from electronic medical records. Study participants were patients aged 65 or older who were admitted to ICU after they had been transferred to emergency department from long-term care hospitals. Length of stay (LOS) in ICU was defined as the patients had stayed in ICU for 7 days or more. Factors influencing the LOS were identified through the binary logistic regression analyses based on demographic and clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters. Results: Of all screened patients, 243 subjects were transferred from long term care hospitals. Participants mean age was 80.3 ( ± 7.0) years and female comprised 63%. Participants had stayed in ICU for 13.4 days in average. Factors affecting the LOS in ICU were presence of multidrug resistant organism after ICU admission (odds ratio, OR 5.66, 95% confidence interval, 95% CI = 1.79-17.82, p< 0.010), tracheostomy insertion (OR 3.35, 95% CI = 1.28-8.74, p< 0.014), mechanical ventilator application (OR 2.49, 95% CI = 1.11-5.58, p< 0.026), central venous catheterization (OR 2.13, 95% CI = 1.09-4.17, p< 0.027) and simplified acute physiology score III (OR 0.95, 95% CI = 0.91-1.00, p< 0.039) by multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: Older patients in long-term care hospitals stayed longer in ICU and were vulnerable to infection.
