Abstract

This study aimed to understand shift-working married female nurses' the experience of work-family balance and the special situational context of shift work. Interviews were conducted with 10 married female nurses working shifts to explore their in-depth inner lives, and the collected data were analyzed by Giorgi's phenomenological method. As a result of the analysis, a total of 120 semantic units, 16 sub-components, and 5 components of 'recognition of the reality of work-family balance due to shift work', 'difficulty of work-family balance', 'motor of work-family balance', 'satisfaction factor in job performance', and 'challenges to be solved' were found. This study was significant in that it provides empirical evidence for the development of sophisticated strategies to reconcile work-family life for working-shift married female nurses, through an in-depth exploration of their experiences in work-life balance.

본 연구는 교대근무 기혼여성 간호사의 일과 가정, 일상생활에 대한 생생한 경험과 교대근무의 특수한 상황적 맥락을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 교대근무 기혼여성 간호사 10명을 대상으로 이들의 심층적인 내면을 탐색하기 위해 면담을 진행하였으며, 수집된 자료는 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구 방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 총 120개의 의미 단위와 16개의 하위 구성 요소, 5개의 구성 요소가 도출되었다. 5개의 구성 요소는 '교대근무로 인한 일-가정양립 현실 인식', '일-가정 양립 어려움', '일-가정 양립 원동력', '직무수행에서의 만족감 요소', '해결되어야 할 과제들'이다. 본 연구는 교대근무 기혼여성 간호사의 일-가정 양립 경험의 심층적 탐색을 통해 이들이 직면한 상황을 파악하여 교대근무 기혼여성 간호사를 위한 일-가정 양립에 정교한 개선 전략 수립에 대한 경험적 근거를 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
