Abstract

Job stress experienced during work has a positive effect on the organization, such as performance improvement, but if not properly managed, it can cause physical diseases such as digestive diseases and mental diseases such as depression and neurological diseases. If job stress persists for a long time, it causes emotional exhaustion and depression, which has a significant adverse effect on individuals and organizations, so proper management is essential. Therefore, in this study, a descriptive survey study was conducted using a self-report questionnaire method to find out the relationship between job stress, emotional exhaustion and depression of medical institution workers. As a result of the analysis, it was found that job stress of medical institution workers had a significant (+) effect on emotional exhaustion and depression, and emotional exhaustion of medical institution workers had a significant (+) effect on depression. Through this study, it was found that there was a significant relationship between job stress, emotional exhaustion, and depression of hospital employees, and that emotional exhaustion acts as a parameter in the relationship between job stress and depression. Considering that job stress of hospital employees causes adverse organizational effects, such as threatening workers' mental and physical health and causing deterioration in the quality of medical services, organizational efforts will be needed to relieve and properly manage job stress of hospital employees.

업무 중 경험하게 되는 직무스트레스는 성과 향상 등 조직에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 적절히 관리되지 않으면 소화기 질환 등 다양한 신체 질병을 유발하고 우울증, 신경 질환 등 정신 질환을 일으키기도 한다. 특히 환자의 건강과 밀접히 관련된 일을 하는 의료기관 종사자는 타 직업군 근로자에 비해 직무스트레스의 정도가 높기 때문에 그 위험성이 더욱 크다. 직무스트레스가 오랫동안 지속되면 정서적 소진과 우울을 유발하게 되는데 이는 개인과 조직에 상당한 악영향을 미치기 때문에 반드시 올바른 관리를 통해 스트레스를 감소시켜야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 의료기관 종사자의 직무스트레스, 정서적 소진과 우울의 관계에서 정서적 소진의 매개효과를 알아보고자 자가 보고식 설문 조사법을 이용하여 서술적 조사 연구를 실시하였다. 총 298부의 유효 설문지를 통계분석 자료로 이용하였으며, 수집된 자료는 코딩 과정을 거쳐 IBM SPSS statistics version 25 및 AMOS 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 의료기관 종사자의 직무스트레스가 정서적 소진과 우울에 일부 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 의료기관 종사자의 정서적 소진이 우울에 일부 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 의료기관 종사자의 직무스트레스와 정서적 소진, 우울 간에 유의한 관련성이 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며, 직무스트레스와 우울의 관계에서 정서적 소진이 매개변수로서 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 의료기관 종사자의 직무스트레스는 근로자의 정신건강과 신체 건강을 위협하고 의료서비스의 질적 저하를 유발하는 등 조직적 측면의 악영향 등을 일으킨다는 점을 미루어 볼 때 의료기관 종사자의 직무스트레스를 해소하고 적절히 관리할 수 있도록 조직적 측면에서의 노력이 필요할 것이다.
