본 연구는 S시에 거주하는 근무경력 3년 이상의 지역사회 정신보건간호사 9명의 참여로 2014년 11월 7일부터 2014년 12월 21일까지 정신보건간호사들의 폭력경험의 의미 및 본질을 현상학적 접근방법으로 밝히고자 시도된 질적 연구이다. 연구결과 정신보건간호사의 폭력 경험은 '폭풍우를 만난 쪽배', '망망대해', '푯대를 잃어가는 쪽배', '방향키를 다시 잡은 선장'의 4개 범주와 11개의 주제모음 등으로 나타난 것을 볼 때, 정신보건간호사들이 경험하는 환자로부터의 폭력은 전문가의 안전을 위협할 뿐 아니라 정신보건 간호사의 정체성에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이는 환자에 대한 양질의 서비스 제공을 위협할 수 있으므로 심각한 현실 문제로 받아들여야 할 것이다. 또한 폭력 발생 예방에 대한 대책마련과 함께 폭력 피해 당사자인 간호사에 대한 간호조직의 지지프로그램 개발이 무엇보다 선행되어 정신보건간호사들의 안전과 질 높은 간호업무 수행을 위해 실제적인 대책을 마련해야 할 것으로 사료되어 진다.
