Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between the empowerment, nursing performance, job satisfaction and turnover intention of long-term care hospital nurses. The subjects were 258 nurses at a long-term care hospital in B and U city. The data were collected from November 23, 2012 to January 21, 2013. Data were analyzed by SPSS win 20.0 program. The mean score of empowerment was 3.22, nursing performance was 3.78, job satisfaction was 3.25 and turnover intention was 2.87. Empowerment was correlated with nursing performance and job satisfaction positively, but correlated with turnover intention negatively. As a result of multiple regression, empowerment has 50.3% of the explanatory power on job satisfaction, 13.4% on nursing performance, and 21.9% on turnover intention. The significant predictive factors of nursing performance and job satisfaction were information and support in empowerment. In addition, turnover intention was resources in empowerment. These results suggest that empowerment improvement programs should be focused on developments to improve the quality of nursing.

본 연구의 목적은 노인요양병원 간호사의 임파워먼트와 간호업무성과, 직무만족 및 이직의도와의 관련성을 파악하기 위함으로 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. B시와 U시에 소재한 노인요양병원 간호사 258명에 대한 자료를 2012년 11월23일부터 2013년 1월 21일까지 수집하여 SPSS win 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 임파워먼트는 평균 3.22점, 간호업무성과는 3.78점, 직무만족 3.25점, 이직의도는 2.87점으로 나타났고, 임파워먼트가 직무만족에 대해서는 50.3%, 간호업무성과에 대해서는 13.4%, 이직의도에 대해서는 21.9%의 설명력을 보였다. 임파워먼트와 직무만족, 간호업무성과와의 관계는 정적 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 이직의도와는 부적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 임파워먼트는 노인요양병원 간호사의 직무만족에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치며, 임파워먼트 부여가 간호업무성과에 높은 영향력을 미치게 되어 업무성과를 향상시키게 되고, 이직의도를 낮추게 되는 중요한 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 도출된 결과로 노인요양병원 간호사에게 임파워먼트를 증진하는 프로그램을 제공하여 간호의 질적인 향상을 도모할 수 있을 것이다.
