Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the stress from nursing care between nurses in cancer unit and nurses in the general unit. A total 114 of nurses were recruited from a general hospital. The job stress level of the nurses and the somatic symptoms level of the nurses working in cancer unit was significantly higher than the level of the nurses working in general unit. It is important to eusure the methods that contrive to perform care efficiently by generating hospice nurses.

본 연구는 종합병원에 근무하는 암병동 간호사와 일반병동 간호사의 직무스트레스와 신체화 증상간의 관계를 알아보기 위한 조사연이다. 참가자는 종합병원에 근무하는 114명의 간호사로 일반적 특성에 따른 직무스트레스와 신체화 증상을 확인하고 두 변수들의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과 암병동 간호사는 일반병동 간호사보다 직무스트레스와 신체화 증상이 모두 높았으며, 암병동 간호사와 일반병동 간호사 모두 직무스트레스와 신체화 증상은 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 암병동 간호사에 대한 안전한 근무환경 및 호스피스 간호와 관련한 심리적 지원을 통하여 암병동 간호사의 직무스트레스를 완화시시키고 나타날 수 있는 신체화 증상을 예방하는 의료기관의 적극적 지원이 필요하다.
