The purpose of the present study was intended to assess fatigue symptoms of nurses working at special part(operating room, intensive care unit, emergency room) and ward in general hospitals, and to reveal its related factors. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 393 nurses employed in 3 participating hospitals located in Daejeon City. As a results, the special part workers had higher scores of fatigue symptoms than the ward workers. Multiple stepwise analysis revealed that the factors of influence on fatigue symptoms in the special part workers included subjective health status, age and job satisfaction, and in the ward workers, the factors of influence on fatigue symptoms included subjective health status, sleep hour, shift work and job satisfaction. In conclusion, the fatigue symptoms were higher in the special part workers than the ward workers, and its related factors were different from two worker groups.

최근 병원행정가들의 가장 관심을 끄는 분야 중 하나가 간호사의 이직이다. 본 연구는 실제 이직을 한 간호사를 대상으로 이직요인을 파악하고 이에 대한 이직대책을 제시함으로써 조기에 간호사의 이직을 예방하여 효율적으로 간호인력을 관리하고 간호의 질적 향상을 하는데 도움을 주고자 46개 종합병원에서 1998년 1월${\sim}$1999년 1월 사이에 이직을 한 간호사 369명을 대상으로 조사, 분석한 후향연구이다. 연구결과를 통해 이직결정에는 다양한 요인들이 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 특히 결혼상태가 가장 큰 요인으로 나타났으며, 기혼인 경우는 자식의 양육문제가 가장 원인이었으며, 미혼인 경우는 불규칙한 근무시간이 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그에 대한 해결책으로 자식 양육문제의 경우, 근무병원 내에 탁아시설을 운영하거나 육아양육휴가제도 및 시간제 근무 등의 도입을 심각하게 고려해 볼 필요가 있다. 불규칙한 근무시간은 근무외 수당을 지불하거나 간호사가 스스로 자신의 근무시간을 선택할 수 있는 융통성 있는 스케줄링, 또는 승진평가 제도를 적절하게 할 수 있는 제도의 도입을 제안한다.

의료서비스산업은 인구 고령화, 소득 증대, 건강보험의 보장성 강화 등으로 시장이 급속히 확대되는 추세이다. 의료서비스산업의 대다수를 차지하는 것은 병원으로, 병원은 의사, 의료기사, 간호사, 행정직 등 전문적이고 다양한 직종의 종사자들의 협동작업을 통해 환자들에게 의료서비스를 제공하는 조직이다. 간호사는 많은 직무를 담당하고 있는 다양한 전문 인력 중에서 병원인력의 40%를 차지하고 있으며, 환자에게 제공되는 대부분의 서비스인 치료와 간호업무를 담당하고 있다. 병원인력의 다수를 차지하고 있는 간호사의 잦은 이직과 낮은 생산성은 환자의 치료와 간호업무에 지장을 줄 수 있는데, 소진과 직무스트레스가 간호사의 이직과 생산성에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 간호사의 일반적 특성에 따른 소진과 직무스트레스의 차이를 연구하여, 간호사 개인 맞춤별 내부마케팅 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 간호사의 일반적 특성에 따른 소진과 직무스트레스의 차이는 첫째, 소진에 차이가 있는 일반적 특성으로는 연령, 결혼, 근무형태, 직위, 간호사 경력, 근무처, 병상 수로 나타났으며, 둘째, 직무스트레스에 차이가 있는 일반적 특성으로는 연령, 학력, 결혼, 근무형태, 간호사 경력, 근무처, 병상 수로 나타났다.

오늘날의 대부분 의료기관이 성취해야 할 가장 중요한 과제는 의료 관리비용의 절감과 의료 서비스품질의 향상이다. 최근 병원의 대형화 및 병원간의 경쟁 과다로 인하여 환자에 대한 서비스는 호전되었지만, 병원 자체 인력에 대한 효율적 배분 및 인력 운용에 있어서의 형평성 문제는 아직까지 해결되지 못한 부분이 많다. 특히 모든 일을 경제 원리로 풀려고 하는 사회적 풍토 및 현대화, 대형화에 따른 병원 재정의 압박은 병원 운용 인력의 $30{\sim}40\%$를 차지하는 간호 인력에 대한 관심을 소홀히 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 대형 병원을 사례기관으로 선정하여 기존의 간호사 근무 편성 기준을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 간호사들의 요일별, 시간별 선호도를 고려한 근무 편성표를 작성하여 간호사 근무에 형평성을 기하고자 한다. 또한 기존 휴리스틱에 의거한 근무표와 수리계획법을 활용하여 작성한 근무표 간의 비교를 통하여, 간호사 개인이 특정 근무 기간동안 얻게 되는 만족도를 분석하고자 한다.

The purpose of study is to measure nurses' empathy levels and to examine the effects of their empathy levels on their life and job satisfaction. The questionnaire was administrated to 150 nurses working in hospitals in Busan. The questionnaire consists of three factors : empathy level, life satisfaction, and job satisfaction. Nurses are classed into two : shift work nurse and non-shift work nurse by their work type. 144 out of 150 questionnaires were used for the analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics 21. The shift work nurses with higher empathy levels showed higher job satisfaction. The non-shift work nurses with higher empathy level revealed higher life satisfaction. Interestingly, while empathy level had positive effects on shift work nurses' job satisfaction(${\beta}=.282$, p=.006), it also had impact on non-shift work nurses' life satisfaction positively(${\beta}=.252$, p=.048). As results show, nurses' life and job satisfaction were positively related to their empathy levels. Given the fact that lack of nurses' empathy often lead to conflicts with patients, in order to improve nurses' job performance, we need a new perspective of understanding the important role of empathy in nurses' job satisfaction and life satisfaction.

The aim of this study was to investigate the level of depression among female hospital nurses and the influence of rotating shift work and quality of sleep on depression. A total of 295 nurses in Seoul were recruited and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The number of depressed nurses was 71.2%(CES-D total score ≥ 16) and factors influenced on nurses' depression were quality of sleep, rotating shift work, and work experience in nursing(1-2.9 years, more than 10 years). Based on the result of this study, nurse managers and hospital organization should use appropriate interventions to improve quality of sleep and negative effects of rotating shift work for nurses.

This study was performed to improve the working conditions of female nurses by comparing their organizational commitment and turnover intention according to the type of work shift they prefer. This study is a descriptive survey study, and data were collected by conducting an online survey of 465 female nurses working in three shifts at seven medical institutions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 24.0 in a χ² test, a two-sample independent t-test, a pearson correlation and MANCOVA. The result shows that the group of nurses preferring fixed work shift had higher organizational commitment at higher ages and had higher turnover intention if they had an experience of transferring to another medical institution. The study also found that the group that prefers fixed work shift had lower organizational commitment and higher turnover intention than the group of nurses preferring shift work. The nursing department in hospital should strive to improve the working environment in female nurses by developing various types of work, with an aim to increase the organizational commitment of female nurses preferring fixed work and reduce their turnover.

Today, with the development of information technology, hospitals are actively researching hospital information systems that are not limited by time and space to integrate mobile computing technology into the medical field to manage the bulk data of medical information. Nevertheless, most hospitals still spend a lot of time and effort creating manual schedules. In this paper, we studied an optimization model for organizing nurses' shift work and constructed an automated nurse-type job organization system. For nurses working in S hospital, information data, requirements and constraints of nurses were constructed. By applying this, we proposed an optimized scheduling method and built a web-based platform used by head nurses and a mobile app platform used by general nurses to enable real-time interchange and sharing around web servers. Therefore, through the developed nurse needs type automated system, the head nurses will increase the convenience of the nurses to organize the work every month, and general nurses will help them to work more accurately through personal schedule management. It is also expected to increase work efficiency by sharing work schedules among nurses.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the health promotion behavior of shifting nurses' and its effects on their health conditions. The survey was performed for 357 nurses who worked in general hospital during July 2006. The results for behavior of health promotion and health conditions were as follow; Better health conditions of shifting nurses' on the aspects of physical status, the younger age, a fewer night duties in a month, more regular menstruation cycles and married rather than un-married, they were in better health conditions(p<0.05). In conclusion, in spite of shift works, the efforts for health promotions improved health conditions. It is necessary to set up the systems for minimizing obstacles of health promotions.

The purpose of this study was to conduct the impact of unit-level nurse practice environment on turnover intention among nurses in a tertiary hospital. A cross-sectional study was carried out using questionnaires with 267 nurses in 24 nursing units of hospital in Seoul. Data were collected in November 2013 and were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0. The results of the study indicate that nurse turnover intention is associated with the nurse practice environment at the unit level. In addition, the model including age, unit-level nurse practice environment explained 23.0% of the variance for nurse turnover intention. Hospital can improve nurse retention and lower turnover intention by changing the nurse practice environment of unit, such as nurse participation in hospital affairs, improvement of the nurse manager leadership and nurse-physician collaborative relationships.
