Abstract

This research has been conducted to understand relations in general hospital nurses health level (SF-36), sociodemographic characteristics, health related factors, job related factors, and job stress. The subjects of the research are 572 nurses who are working in six different general hospitals with 250 beds. Data which has been collected from self administered questionnaire during the period from May 1st, 2014 to may 31th. The result has described, the health level(SF-36) of nurses has strong relation to sociodemographic characteristics, health related factors, job related factors, and even job stress. Especially the health level (SF-36) of nurses has risen when the nurses have less job stress, lower job pressure and more support from supervisor and coworkers. Therefore, the primary things to create are system development and atmosphere which controls the nurses' job stresses. Moreover, it is also important to develop programs for nurses' career satisfaction.

본 연구는 종합병원에 근무하는 간호사를 대상으로 이들의 건강수준(SF-36)을 파악하고, 건강수준과 인구사회학적 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스 내용 등의 제 요인들과의 관련성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 조사대상은 250병상 이상의 6개 종합병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 572명으로 하였으며, 자료 수집은 2014년 5월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 간호사들의 건강수준(SF-36)은 개인의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성 및 직업관련 특성뿐만 아니라 직무스트레스 내용과도 유의한 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 특히 건강수준(SF-36)은 직무스트레스 내용에 있어서 업무 요구도가 낮고, 업무의 자율성, 상사 및 동료의 지지도가 높을 때 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 간호사의 직무스트레스를 통제할 수 있는 조직 내 시스템 개발과 분위기 조성이 우선되어져야 할 것이며, 또한, 간호사들의 건강수준(SF-36)을 증대시키기 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.
