Abstract

This study was intended to measure the quality of sleep according to the job stress contents among nurses working for an university hospital. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 482 nurses employed in an university hospital during the period from June 1st to July 31st, 2011. As a results, the quality of sleep was significantly lower in the group with higher job demand, lower job control, lower supervisor and coworker support. In correlation, the level of quality of sleep was positively correlated with job demand, but it was negatively correlated with job control, supervisor and coworker support. In logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio of the quality of sleep was significantly increased in higher group of job demand than in lower group. But it was significantly decreased in higher group of supervisor and coworker support. The study results may explain that the quality of sleep is independently associated with the job stress contents.

본 연구는 간호사들의 수면의 질 수준을 파악하고 직무스트레스와의 관련성을 알아보고자 대전광역시에 소재하고 있는 한 대학병원의 간호사 482명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 2011년 4월 1일부터 2011년 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 수면의 질은 업무요구도가 높은 군일수록, 업무의 자율성, 상사 및 동료의 지지도가 낮은 군일수록 유의하게 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수면의 질은 업무요구도와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 업무의 자율성, 상사의 지지도 및 동료의 지지도와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 단변량 분석에서 유의하였던 변수를 통제한 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 업무 요구도는 가장 낮은 군(Q1)에 비해 높은군(Q3)과 매우 높은 군(Q4)에서 수면의 질이 좋지 않은 군에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 증가한 반면, 상사 및 동료의 지지도는 가장 낮은 군(Q1)에 비해 매우 높은 군(Q4)에서 수면의 질이 좋지 않은 군에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 감소하였다. 이 같은 결과는 업무요구도가 높을수록, 상사 및 동료의 지지도가 낮을수록 수면의 질이 낮아지는 경향을 나타내고 있어 직무스트레스 내용이 독립적으로 수면의 질과 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
