Abstract

This study investigates the influence of emotional intelligence and professional self-concept on retention intention in nurses. The participants were 170 nurses from three hospitals in B city. Data were collected with structured questionnaires, from May 7 to May 30, 2019, and analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression, using the SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Our results reveal the level of emotional intelligence to be 4.82(7), professional self-concept 2.61(4), and retention intention 5.47(8). We observed that the retention intention positively correlates with emotional intelligence and professional self-concept. The factors influencing retention intention were professional self-concept (β=.456, p<.001), age (β=-.228, p<.001) and holidays (β=.197, p=.002). This regression model determines the intention retention to be 35.9%. We propose that it is necessary to develop and make available programs embracing factors that prevent and reduce retention intention in nurses.

본 연구는 간호사의 감성지능과 전문직 자아개념이 재직의도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 자료수집은 B광역시 소재 종합병원 3곳에 근무하는 간호사 170명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집 기간은 2019년 5월 7일부터 5월 30일까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 시행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였으며 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients 와 stepwise multiple regression analysis를 이용하였다. 본 연구결과, 대상자의 감성지능 정도는 4.82점(7점만점), 전문직 자아개념 정도는 2.61점(4점만점), 재직의도 정도는 5.47점(8점만점)이었다. 대상자의 재직의도는 감성지능, 전문직 자아개념과 모두 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자의 재직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 전문직자아개념(β=.456, p<.001), 연령(β=-.228, p<.001), 휴가(β=.197, p=.002)순으로 나타났다. 이들 요인들에 의한 재직의도 설명력은 총 35.9%(F=32.60, p<.001)로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 재직의도를 감소시키기 위한 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
