Abstract

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the experiences of nurses in graduate school who fill multiple professional roles. The research's participants were women in the nursing profession studying towards postgraduate degrees. Their experiences were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method of qualitative research. The results showed that participants feel constantly short of time, pressure from the demands of their study, guilt owing to inability to fulfill family commitments, struggles related to the conflicts of multiple roles, and the feeling of satisfaction from accomplishing professional goals. This paper suggests that if nurses undergoing graduate study have an organized support system to help them perform the roles, they will find an identity in the nursing profession and will take care of their patients more professionally as a result. Such support depends in part on health administrators' greater understanding of the nurses' circumstances.

본 연구는 다중역할을 하는 간호전문직 기혼 여성의 대학원생활 경험을 이해하고, 그들의 생생한 경험의 의미를 밝히기 위하여 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 사용한 질적연구이다. 연구대상은 간호전문직 기혼 여성으로서 대학원에 재학하여 일과 학업을 병행하고 있는 석 박사 과정생으로 이들을 대상으로 반구조적인 개인심층면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과 도출된 5개의 범주는 '시간에 쫓기며 살아감', '심도 깊은 학업 부담감에 짓눌림', '가족에 대한 죄책감', '많은 역할간의 갈등으로 몸부림침', '힘든 가운데 찾은 의미와 보람'으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 현대사회의 급속한 발전과 함께 인간의 건강에 대한 건강문제를 해결함으로써 건강증진에 기여 할 수 있는 전문적인 간호사가 될 수 있도록 다양한 지지체계를 통하여 대학원과정을 배려하고 지지해 준다면 간호학문에 대한 정체성 확립을 돕고 대상자들의 건강증진을 위하여 더욱 전문적인 간호를 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구결과는 간호전문직 기혼 여성의 대학원생활에 대한 생생한 경험을 바탕으로 범주화한 결과로 합리적인 중재 방안의 개발에 유용한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있다.
