Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the relationships between emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and quality of nursing service for hospital nurses, and to serve as a basis for improvement of nursing service and nursing resources management. All data were collected and conducted with the cooperation of the nursing service department in a tertiary general hospital and two general hospitals located in G province. Questionnaires were completed by 195 nurses who consented to participation in the study from 7 to 28 April 2014. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. A highly positive relationship (r=0.624, p<0.001, r=0.612, p<0.001) was observed between emotional intelligence and quality of nursing service in the superior general hospitals and the general hospitals. Based on this study, quality of nursing service could be improved by a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction in the superior general hospitals and general hospitals (r=0.430, p<0.001). Therefore, it is important to provide a good occupational environment and develop educational programs to enhance the emotional intelligence of nurses, and a positive measure focused on less experienced and young nurses to improve emotional intelligence.

본 연구의 목적은 병원급별 간호사들의 감성지능과 직무만족, 간호서비스 질에 대한 상관관계를 확인하여 간호인력 관리와 간호서비스 질을 향상하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 시행되었다. 본 연구는 G도에 위치한 상급종합병원 1곳과 종합병원 2곳에서 일반간호사 195명을 대상으로 2014년 4월 7일부터 4월 28일까지 자료수집 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 상급종합병원과 종합병원에서 감성지능과 간호서비스 질이 각각 높은 정적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(r=.624, p<.001, r=.612, p<.001). 상급종합병원의 경우 감성지능과 직무만족이 정적 상관관계로 나타났다(r=.430, p<.001). 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 상급종합병원과 종합병원 모두 간호사의 감성지능과 직무만족을 증진시킴으로써 간호서비스 질을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 감성지능과 간호서비스 질 간의 높은 관련성으로 볼 때 상급종합병원과 종합병원의 특성에 맞게 간호사의 감성지능을 강화시킬 수 있는 업무 환경 조성 및 감성지능 향상 교육프로그램을 개발하여 제공하는 것이 필요하며, 연령 및 경력이 낮은 간호사를 중심으로 감성지능을 높일 수 있는 적극적인 방안이 요구된다.
