노인요양병원 간호사의 자존감, 역할갈등, 직무스트레스, 이직의도에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine geriatric hospital nurses' self-esteem, role conflict, work stress and turnover intention. Study subjects were 120 nurses at geriatric hospitals in Gwangju and Chonnam areas. Data were collected from October to November 2009, using the structured questionnaires. The SPSS Win version 15.0 was used for descriptive analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

The results are as follows:

First, study subjects' self-esteem is 29.97, role conflict is 41.73, work stress is 85.39, and turnover intention is 14.19. Second, there were significant differences in the turnover intention according to age group (F=3.907, p=.011), current position (F=4.613, p=.012), total career in hospitals (F=3.345, p=.022) and job satisfaction (F=8.074, p=.001). Third, there were significant correlations between self-esteem and role conflict (r=-.194, p=.034), and role conflict and work stress (r=.252, p=.005). In other words, when subjects' self-esteem is higher, their role conflict is lower. And when their role conflict is higher, their work stress is also higher.

In this study, strategies to improve self-esteem and reduce role conflict and job stress should be provided to geriatric hospital nurses.
