Abstract

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the mediating effect of anxiety in the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction among hospitalized patients. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires from October to December 2021. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression using the SPSS 24.0 program, and the effectiveness of the mediation effect was tested using the Sobel test. As a result of the study, there was a positive correlation between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, and a negative correlation between patient care communication and anxiety. And there was also a negative correlation between patient satisfaction and anxiety. In the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, anxiety had a partial mediating effect (z=2.93, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 38.4%. In order to improve patient satisfaction based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop a program that can improve nurses' patient care communication capabilities and reduce patients' anxiety.

본 연구는 병동의 입원환자를 대상으로 환자돌봄 의사소통과 환자만족도 간의 관계에서 불안의 매개효과를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료는 2021년 10월부터 12월까지 자가설문지를 이용하여 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술적 통계, 피어슨 상관관계 분석과 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 매개효과의 유효성 검정은 Sobel test로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 환자돌봄 의사소통과 환자만족도 사이에는 양의 상관관계가 있었으며, 환자돌봄 의사소통과 불안과의 사이에는 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 환자만족도와 불안 사이에도 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 환자돌봄 의사소통과 환자만족도의 관계에서 불안은 부분매개 효과가 있었으며(z=2.93, p<.001), 설명력은 38.4%이었다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 환자만족도를 향상시키기 위해서는 간호사의 환자돌봄 의사소통 역량을 향상시키고, 환자의 불안을 감소시킬 수 있는 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.
