Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effect of WLB on the relationship between the nursing practice environment and turnover intention of nurses. Data were collected from October 5 to October 30, 2020 for 144 nurses for more than 6 months at three general hospitals located in A-do. Data analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. As a result of the study, WLB was partial mediating role in the relationship between the nursing practice environment and turnover intention. Therefore, in order to reduce the turnover rate of nurses, it is necessary to develop and apply programs along with organizational human resource management strategies to positively improve the nursing practice environment of nurses and to promoting WLB. Based on the results of this study, we intend to provide basic data to reduce the turnover rate of nurses by positively recognizing the nursing practice environment of nurses and improving WLB.

본 연구는 간호사의 간호근무환경과 워라벨 및 이직의도 간의 관계를 알아보고, 간호근무환경과 이직의도의 관계에서 일과 삶의 균형의 매개효과를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상자는 2020년 10월 5일부터 10월 30일까지 편의추출하였고, 3개의 종합병원에 재직 중인 병원간호사를 대상으로 자기보고식 설문방법으로 자료수집 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 23.0 프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 간호근무환경과 이직의도 간의 관계에서 워라벨은 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났다(Z=-3.55, p<.001). 따라서 간호사의 이직률을 감소시키기 위해서는 간호사의 근무환경을 긍정적으로 개선하고 워라벨을 증진하기 위한 조직 차원의 인적자원관리 전략과 더불어 이를 위한 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 간호사의 간호근무환경을 긍정적으로 인식하고 워라벨을 향상시켜 간호사의 이직률을 감소시키기 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다.
