Abstract

This is a descriptive research study to confirm the relationship between communication types, emotional labor, and job stress of nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals and to identify factors affecting job stress. The study was conducted on 192 nurses randomly selected from small and medium-sized hospitals located in G Metropolitan City. A structured questionnaire was used as a research tool for measuring communication types, emotional labor, and job stress, and the data were collected from August 20 to September 10, 2019. The results of the study are as follows. The subject's communication type averaged 3.55±0.31 points, emotional labor 3.21±0.59 points, and job stress 3.44±0.52 points. Job stress showed a statistically significant negative correlation with friendly communication among the types of communication, and a statistically significant positive correlation with emotional labor. Factors affecting job stress included gender, total clinical experience, and emotional labor, showing an explanatory power of 28.0%. It is considered that an efficient management strategy for emotional labor is needed to reduce the job stress of nurses in the future.

본 연구는 중소병원 간호사의 의사소통 유형과 감정노동 및 직무스트레스 간의 관계를 확인하고 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상은 G광역시에 소재한 6개 중소병원 간호사 192명을 임의 표출하였다. 연구도구는 의사소통 유형, 감정노동, 직무스트레스 측정을 위한 구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 2019년 8월20일부터 9월10일까지 자료수집하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 의사소통 유형은 평균 3.55±0.31점, 감정노동은 3.21±0.59점, 직무스트레스는 3.44±0.52점이었다. 직무스트레스는 의사소통 유형 중 친화적 의사소통과 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를, 감정노동과는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 직무스트레스에 영향을 주는 요인은 성별, 총 임상경력, 감정노동이었고 28.0%의 설명력을 보였다. 향후 간호사의 직무스트레스를 줄이기 위해서는 감정노동에 대한 효율적인 관리전략이 필요할 것으로 사료된다
