Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the happiness, empowerment, and nursing performance of nurses with more than one-year of clinical experience, and the factors affecting the nursing performance. The subjects were 164 nurses who worked in two general hospitals in Incheon and Chungcheong-do, Korea. Data were collected from October to November 2018. The main findings of this study were as follows. The mean scores for happiness, empowerment, and nursing performance were 3.07±0.36, 3.37±0.43, and 3.40±0.44 points. Happiness was positively correlated with empowerment (r=.58, p<.01) and nursing performance (r=.58, p<.01), empowerment was positively correlated with the nursing performance (r=.58, p<.01). The factors influencing the nursing performance were empowerment (β=.65, p<.001), total length of a clinical career (β=.19, p<.001), education level (β=.12, p<.05), and happiness (β=.12, p=.05), showing an explanatory power of 64%. Based on these results, it is necessary to provide sufficient human and physical resources to improve the nursing performance and manage the organizational level to increase the nurses' happiness and empowerment. To improve the work performance of nurses, an empowerment improvement program tailored to the clinical experience and educational level should be developed, and the working environment that can increase the nurse's happiness should be improved.

본 연구는 1년 이상의 임상경력을 가진 간호사의 행복감, 임파워먼트와 간호업무성과와의 관계를 파악하고, 간호업무성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 실시되었다. 연구 대상자는 인천과 충청도 소재 2개 종합병원의 간호사 164명을 대상으로 2018년 10월부터 11월까지 설문조사를 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 21.0 빈도와 기술통계, Independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, One-way ANOVA와 사후분석으로 Scheffé test, 그리고 다중 회기분석을 실시하였다. 간호사의 행복감은 평균 3.07±0.36점, 임파워먼트는 평균 3.37±0.43점, 간호업무성과는 평균 3.40±0.44점으로 나타났다. 행복감은 임파워먼트(r=.58, p<.01), 간호업무성과(r=.58, p<.01)와 임파워먼트는 간호업무성과(r=.77, p<.01)와 정적상관관계를 나타냈다. 간호업무성과에 영향을 미치는 변수는 임파워먼트(β=.65, p<.001), 임상경력(β=.19, p<.001), 교육 수준(β=.12, p<.05), 행복감(β=.12, p=.05)이었으며, 전체 변인의 간호업무성과에 대한 총 설명력은 64%이었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 간호업무성과를 향상하기 위해 충분한 인적, 물적 자원 제공과 더불어 간호사의 행복감 및 임파워먼트를 향상할 수 있는 조직 차원의 관리가 필요하다. 이를 위해 간호사의 업무성과 향상을 위해 임상경력 및 교육 수준에 맞춘 임파워먼트 향상 프로그램 개발과 더불어 간호사의 행복감을 높일 수 있는 업무환경 개선을 제언한다.
