Abstract

Recently, the high turnover rate of nursing staff and the problems caused by increased job stress have been highlighted as social issues, and the problem of 'Taeoom' in nursing organizations has received increasing attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose a solution to the Taeoom problem, including bullying in the nursing work environment, as there is an urgent need to find a solution to prevent and overcome this problem. For this purpose, based on the S-O-R framework and previous studies, job stress and turnover intention were derived as outcome variables of Taeoom and communication competence as an antecedent factor, and a research model was constructed with the expectation that mindfulness and social support would serve as moderating variables to help overcome this problem. Data were collected through a survey of 300 nurses who had experienced Taeoom within the past year, and the hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model. The results revealed that the higher the communication competence of nurses, the less they perceived the damage of Taeoom, and that the damage caused by Taeoom leads to turnover intention through high job stress. In addition, mindfulness and social support significantly attenuated the positive effects of burnout on job stress and job stress on turnover intention, respectively. The significance of this study is that it proposed an extended P-S-O-R framework by adding a prevention stage to the existing S-O-R framework, and further tested the moderating effects of mindfulness and social support variables. It is expected that the findings of this study will provide concrete guidelines to prevent and overcome the Taeoom problem that can be applied in practice.

최근 간호인력들의 높은 이직률과 직무스트레스 증가로 인한 문제가 사회적 이슈로 크게 부각되며, 간호 조직 내의 '태움' 문제에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 간호업무 현장에서의 괴롭힘을 포함한 태움 문제에 대한 해결책 모색이 시급한 상황에서 이 문제에 대한 예방 및 극복방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 S-O-R 프레임워크 및 선행연구를 기반으로 직무스트레스 및 이직의도를 태움의 결과변수로, 커뮤니케이션능력을 선행요인으로 도출하였으며, 이러한 태움의 영향 메커니즘에서 마음챙김과 사회적지지가 문제 극복을 돕는 조절변수 역할을 수행할 것으로 보고 연구모형을 구성하였다. 최근 1년 내 태움을 경험한 간호인력 300명을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하고, 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 가설을 검증한 결과, 간호인력의 커뮤니케이션능력이 높을수록 태움 피해를 적게 인지하는 것으로 나타났으며, 태움으로 인한 피해는 높은 직무스트레스를 거쳐 이직의도로 이어진다는 사실을 밝혀내었다. 또한, 마음챙김과 사회적지지는 각각 태움이 직무스트레스에, 직무스트레스가 이직의도에 미치는 정(+)의 영향을 유의하게 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기존의 S-O-R 프레임워크에서 사전예방 단계를 추가하여 확장된 P-S-O-R 프레임워크를 제안하였으며, 추가로 마음챙김과 사회적지지 변수의 조절효과를 검증했다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다. 본 연구결과를 통해 실무에 적용 가능한 태움 예방 및 극복방안 마련을 위한 구체적인 지침을 제시할 수 있기를 기대한다.
