Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze work complexity, critical thinking disposition, and the degree of intuition for nurse practitioners and determine the associations among the variables. 150 nurses at hospitals and general hospitals in D City participated in this study and data collection was performed from June 15 to July 8, 2017. The data were processed by using SPSS WIN 24.0 to estimate the mean, standard deviation and Pearson's correlation coefficient and perform one-way ANOVA. They scored $2.33{\pm}.45$ for work complexity, $3.58{\pm}.36$ for critical thinking disposition, and $2.69{\pm}.52$ for intuition. Work complexity differed significantly by age (F=4.55, p=.012), education (F=11.61, p=<.001), department (F=26.69, p=<.001), and clinical career (F=4.30, p=.006) among their general characteristics. Critical thinking disposition differed significantly by education (F=5.25, p=.006) and position (F=5.35, p=.006) and differed statistically insignificantly by intuition. Work complexity was positively correlated with critical thinking disposition (r=.323, p=<.001) and intuition (r=.201, p=.013) and no significant correlation was found between critical thinking disposition and intuition (r=.033, p=.685). On the basis of these results, it is necessary to develop education and programs that can allow nurses who regard nursing work as complex to improve their critical thinking disposition and intuition.

본 연구는 임상간호사의 업무의 복잡성, 비판적 사고 성향, 직관 정도를 파악하고 변수들 간의 관련성을 확인하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 D시에 소재한 병원, 종합병원 간호사 150명이며, 자료수집 기간은 2017년 6월 15일부터 7월 08일까지였다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 24.0을 이용하여 평균, 표준편차, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 업무 복잡성은 $2.33{\pm}.45$, 비판적 사고 성향은 $3.58{\pm}.36$, 직관은 $2.69{\pm}.52$이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 업무 복잡성은 연령(F=4.55, p=.012), 교육수준(F=11.61, p=<.001), 부서(F=26.69, p=<.001), 임상경력(F=4.30, p=.006)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 비판적 사고 성향은 교육 수준(F=5.25, p=.006), 직위(F=5.35, p=.006)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었고, 직관은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 업무 복잡성은 비판적 사고 성향(r=.323, p=<.001), 직관(r=.201, p=.013)과 정적 상관관계가 있었으나, 비판적 사고 성향과 직관은 유의한 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다((r=.033, p=.685). 본 연구결과를 통해 간호업무가 복잡하다고 인지하는 간호사를 대상으로 비판적 사고 성향과 직관을 높일 수 있는 교육 및 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
