This study aimed to evaluate the work changes and grievances of nurses who provided direct care for patients at tertiary hospitals during the pandemic. The nurses\u2019 perceptions of their organizational culture and its impact on nurses\u2019 health were also explored. A three\u2010round Delphi study was conducted with 36 expert group participants from six South Korean tertiary hospitals. Overall, 36, 35, and 33 participants responded in the first, second, and third rounds, respectively. Nursing work was divided into three categories: \u201cwork related to COVID\u201019\u2010positive and close contacts,\u201d \u201cwork related to COVID\u201019 negative patients,\u201d and \u201cwork related to common nursing tasks.\u201d Organizational culture had the highest average for \u201cincreased compliance,\u201d followed by \u201cincreased conflict,\u201d \u201cdecreased collegiality,\u201d and \u201cgrowing sense of community.\u201d The identified health problems of nurses during the pandemic were the highest for physical health, followed by mental and social health. These results showed that the workload and work intensity of hospital nurses increased significantly, and their physical, mental, and social health deteriorated during the pandemic. To overcome the crisis, the nursing organizational culture had a strong inclination to comply with the COVID\u201019\u2010related guidelines with an increased sense of community. As conflicts between employees and departments grew, these were able to be overcome through trust and communication between departments, in which the nursing leadership played an important role. To protect the health and lives of people, it is important to secure skilled nurses in preparation for future disasters. In addition, support is needed to protect the safety and health of nurses and to cultivate effective nursing leadership.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/9421360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,4]],"date-time":"2024-09-04T06:05:30Z","timestamp":1725429930000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Delphi Study on the Changes in Work, Organizational Culture, and Health Issues of Nurses at Tertiary Hospitals in South Korea during the COVID\u201019 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0371-9531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"MiRa","family":"Yun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6856-6607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"WonJong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8433-0530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boas","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5175-0210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun-Hi","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization WHO Director General\u2019s opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 11 March 2020 2020 https:\/\/www.who.int\/director-general\/speeches\/detail\/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---11-march-2020."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07370016.2022.2058276"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.13671"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/ice.2020.97"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2021.05.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envres.2020.110620"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12992-020-00574-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_2","article-title":"Coronavirus in South Korea: how \u2018trace, test and treat\u2019 may Be saving lives","author":"Bicker L.","year":"2020","journal-title":"BBC News"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_2","article-title":"How South Korea successfully managed coronavirus: the country has blended technology and testing like No other","author":"Timothy W.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Wall Street Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_2","volume-title":"Delphi Method: Kyoyookgwahaksa.
