Abstract

This study was undertaken is to improve the working conditions by improving the job satisfaction of clinical research nurses and clinical nurses involved in and conducting clinical trials. The survey was conducted from November 6 to December 6, 2017 for 100 nurses working in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The accumulated data were analyzed by frequency analysis, reliability verification, and t-test using the SPSS program. Our results reveal that job satisfaction was higher for clinical nurses (2.94 ± 0.609 points) as compared to clinical research nurses (2.89 ± 0.620 points). Also, the satisfaction level of salary received was higher amongst the clinical nurses than the clinical research nurses. Furthermore, although career decision was relatively lower for the clinical nurse than the clinical research nurse, the importance of job performance and job stability ranked high. Considering importance of the role of clinical research nurses in clinical trials, it is necessary to enhance their job satisfaction by improving the clinical trial environment such as appropriate treatment and professional role, and the working environment including remuneration, professional status, and administrative work to establish their jobs.

본 연구는 임상간호사를 경험하고 임상시험 연구간호사 직무를 수행하고 있는 임상시험 연구간호사의 직무만족을 통하여 근무여건을 개선하기 위하여 서울, 경기지역에 근무하는 간호사 100명을 대상으로 2017년 11월 6일부터 12월 6일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도검증, t-test를 실시하였다. 분석결과 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직무만족도는 임상간호사는 2.94±.609점으로 임상시험 연구간호사 2.89±.620점보다 직무만족도가 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 보수 만족도에 있어 임상간호사가 임상시험 연구간호사에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났고, 행정업무, 자율성 만족도는 임상간호사가 임상시험 연구간호사에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 진로결정에서는 임상간호사는 임상시험 연구간호사에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났지만, 수행업무의 중요성, 직업의 안정성은 임상간호사가 임상시험 연구간호사에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 국내외 임상시험에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있고 이에 따라 임상시험 연구간호사에 대한 수요도 꾸준히 증가할 것이다. 임상시험에 있어 임상시험 연구간호사의 역할이 중요하기 때문에 임상시험 연구간호사의 직무만족을 높이기 위해서는 보수, 전문직 지위, 행정업무 등 경력에 맞는 적절한 처우, 전문적 역할 및 근무환경조성 등 임상시험 환경에 맞는 직무가 확립되도록 개선 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
