Abstract
Purpose : This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Method : Using a cross-sectional design, data collected from 145 ICU nurses working at two university hospitals with more than 1,200 beds located in B and Y city were analyzed. The instruments used for this study assessed autonomy, communication satisfaction, resilience, and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results : Job satisfaction was significantly correlated with communication satisfaction (r=.60, p < .001) and resilience (r=.34, p < .001). Further, job satisfaction was influenced by communication satisfaction (${\beta}=.48$, p < .001), working at a surgery ICU (${\beta}=.21$, p =.008), and dissatisfaction with nursing (${\beta}=-.24$, p =.005). The explanatory power of this model was 44.7%. Conclusion : These results suggest the need for programs to improve communication satisfaction and nursing satisfaction.
