Effects of governmental support on clinical nurse educators in South Korea: a repeated cross-sectional study.

“Thecauses of the increased turnover rate within each institution were analyzed using the inductive approach of content analysis proposed by Elo and Kyngäs (2008).”

“The increased turnover places additional strain on existing nursing staff, leading to a depletion of experienced nurses, which, in turn, has adverse consequences for patient safety and escalates societal costs (Bae, 2022).”

“…which compiles independent cross-sectional data from various time points, involving nonidentical but comparable respondents across these intervals (Menard, 1991), is highly suitable for this study, which analyzes the project outcomes using the annual self-program evaluation reports, from…”

“Field practice allows students to develop familiarity with clinical routines, establish relationships with patients and medical staff, and acquire effective coping strategies for managing stress in clinical settings (Wang et al., 2019).”

“This sense of unpreparedness often leads to stress and feelings of inadequacy in their role within the organization or the nursing profession (Ho et al., 2021).”

“…difficulties in developing and securing clinical practice instructors, a clinical practice that is primarily oriented toward observation rather than hands-on experience, and a lack of collaborative partnerships between educational institutions and medical facilities (Shin et al., 2019).”

“…attributes, including strong institutional support, effective leadership, a diverse and well-structured program with sufficient duration to facilitate the adaptation of novice nurses, and a comprehensive evaluation process involving program assessment tools and feedback collection (Chant, 2019).”

“However,patient care competency showed relatively lower scores, consistent with a study on self-confidence among Korean nursing students conducted during the same period (Bang et al., 2021).”

“This exclusion could contribute to job stress and burnout (Yun & Ahn, 2022).”

“This phenomenon relates to unique factors in South Korea, including insufficient clinical practice during undergraduate education, lack of structured training systems, and regional disparities in nurse distribution, prompting government-led initiatives such as the Clinical Nurse Educator Support Project (Shin et al. 2…”

“Therefore, hospitals and academic institutions should support CNEs' participation in continuing education activities such as workshops, seminars, and conferences to ensure that CNEs have access to the latest developments in nursing practice, education, and research (Shin et al. 2024).”
