Abstract

This is a descriptive study to identify relationships of fatigue to job satisfaction and turnover intention among clinical nurses. The subjects were 162 clinical nurses at 2 small and medium-sized hospitals in K and B cities. The data were collected from February 1st throughout 28th, 2013. The collected data were analyzed using the SAS program through $x^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. There was a negative correlation between high fatigue level and job satisfaction and colleagues of its subgroups (r=-0.29, p=.0214; r=-0.29, p=.0239), positive correlation it and turnover intention(r=0.33, p=.0089). Also there was a negative correlation between promotion and overall job satisfaction subgroup of job satisfaction and turnover intention(r=-0.17, p=.0268; r=-0.19, p=.0144). Therefore nurse managers are in need of applying the organizational management system which is considered the relationship with my colleagues at work, promotion and overall job satisfaction etc. to prevent and decrease fatigue induced factors and turnover intentions.

본 연구는 중소병원 간호사의 피로와 직무만족 및 이직의도와의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 대상자는 K시와 B시에 위치한 2 곳의 중소병원 간호사 162명 이었고, 자료수집 기간은 2013년 2월 1일부터 28일까지 이었다. 자료분석은 카이제곱검정, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test 및 Pearson's correlation coefficients를 사용하였다. 높은 수준의 피로는 직무만족 및 동료 하부요인과 각각 유의한 음의 상관관계를(r=-0.29, p=.0214; r=-0.29, p=.0239), 이직의도와는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.33, p=.0089). 또한 직무만족은 승진 및 전반적인 직무만족 하부요인이 이직의도와 각각 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-0.17, p=.0268; r=-0.19, p=.0144). 그러므로 간호관리자는 피로 유발요인 및 이직의도를 예방하고 감소시키기 위하여, 직장내 동료와의 관계, 승진 및 전반적인 직무만족 하부요인 등을 충분히 숙고하여 안전한 작업환경을 조성하고, 효과적인 조직관리시스템을 적용할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
