Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the Job Satisfaction, Nursing Professionalism, and Nursing Work Environment of Comprehensive Nursing Care Ward nurses and General Ward nurses and provide a convergent basic data. The participants of this study were clinical nurses in the Seoul and Gyeonggi provinces in May 1st.~July 30th., 2016. The data was analysed using SPSS WIN 23.0. When comparing General Ward 100 nurses and Comprehensive Nursing Care Ward 92 nurses, the Nursing Work Environment levels (t=3.027, p=.003) and Job Satisfaction levels (t=2.451, p=.015) were higher in General Wards. Among the General Ward nurses, higher Nursing Professionalism levels had positive correlations to Job Satisfaction levels(r=.605, p<.001). Among the Comprehensive Nursing Care Service Ward nurses, higher Nursing Professionalism levels also had positive correlations to Job Satisfaction levels(r=.642, p<.001). In conclusion, a strategy for the establishment of Nursing Work Environment and Nursing Professionalism is necessary in order to guarantee a higher quality of comprehensive nursing care service.
