Abstract

The present study was intended to measure the level of psychosocial stress and fatigue symptom according to the various characteristics such as sociodemographic, health-related, job-related, job stress factors, and psychosocial factors among nurses working at ward and operating room in university hospitals, and to reveal the relation between these factors and psychosocial stress and fatigue symptom. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 220 nurses working at ward, and 147 nurses working at operating room in 4 participating hospitals located in Daejeon City during the period from July 1st to Aug 31st, 2012. As a results, the factors related to the psychosocial stress of nurses working at ward were age, subjective health status, job career, satisfaction of work, fit to the job, job demand, job control, coworker support, self-esteem, locus of control, type A behavior pattern. In operating room, there were age, sleep hours, subjective health status, job career, physical burden of work, satisfaction of work, fit to the job, consider quitting the job, job demand, job control, type A behavior pattern. The factors related to the fatigue symptoms of nurses working at ward were age, leisure time, subjective health status, satisfaction of work, consider quitting the job, job demand, locus of control, type A behavior pattern. In operating room, there were age, subjective health status, physical burden of work, supervisor support, coworker support, locus of control. Based on the study results, we suggest that the factors related to psychosocial stress and fatigue symptom of nurses were different from working station. We need development and application of programs to keep under management psychosocial stress and fatigue symptom.

본 연구는 근무특성이 다른 병동과 수술실에 근무하고 있는 간호사들의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 직업적 특성, 직무스트레스 요인 및 사회심리적 요인에 따른 스트레스와 피로수준을 비교 분석하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 대전광역시에 소재하고 있는 4개 대학병원의 병동근무 간호사 220명, 수술실근무 간호사 147명, 합계 367명으로 하였으며, 2012년 7월 1일부터 8월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 사회심리적 스트레스에 관련된 요인으로 병동근무 간호사에서는 연령, 주관적인 건강상태, 근무경력, 업무에 대한 만족도, 업무에 대한 적성, 업무요구도, 업무자율성, 동료의 지지도, 자기존중감, 통제신념 및 A형 행동유형이 지적되었고, 수술실근무 간호사에서는 연령, 수면시간, 주관적인 건강상태, 근무경력, 업무의 신체적 부담정도, 업무에 대한 만족도, 업무에 대한 적성, 직업전환의사, 업무요구도, 업무자율성, A형 행동유형이 지적되었다. 피로수준에 관련된 요인으로 병동근무 간호사에서는 연령, 여가시간 여부, 주관적인 건강상태, 업무에 대한 만족도, 직업전환의사, 업무요구도, 통제신념, A형 행동유형이 지적되었고, 수술실근무 간호사에서는 연령, 주관적인 건강상태, 업무의 신체적 부담정도, 상사의 지지도, 동료의 지지도, 통제신념이 지적되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 볼 때 간호사의 근무부서에 따른 스트레스와 피로수준에 관련된 요인에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있으며 근무부서별 스트레스와 피로수준을 적절하게 통제할 수 있는 프로그램개발 및 실행이 필요하다고 생각된다.
