Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between discrimination perception and occupational stress of school nurses to verify the mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationship between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the data collected by the Public Health Nurses Association of D city from regular school nurses working in elementary, middle, and high schools in September 2017. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 Statistics Program, and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of self-esteem on the relationship between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress. Results: The occupational stress of school nurses was higher with higher discrimination and lower self-esteem, and the moderating effects of self-esteem (β=-.152, p=.016) was confirmed between the perception of discrimination and occupational stress (F=30.117, p<.001). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to prepare a method for managing occupational stress due to job demands of school nurses as well as organizational measures to reduce discrimination in organizations. In addition, efforts to develop various programs focusing on improving the self-esteem of school nurses are required.
