Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the moral distress and burnout between long-term care hospital nurses and general nurses. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. Participants were 193 nurses (long-term care hospital 95, general hospital 98) working in a hospital in Seoul, Daegu and Busan city. Data were collected from October 02 to November 30, 2018 using a structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS/PC ver 21.0 programs. Results: The scores of moral distress by nurses working in long-term care hospitals were higher than those of nurses in general hospitals. The score of burnout by nurses working in general hospitals was significantly higher than that of nurses in long-term care hospitals. There was a significant positive relationship between moral distress and burnout in both long-term care hospital nurses and general hospital nurses. Conclusion: This research shows that long-term care hospital nurses have higher moral distress and burnout than those of general hospital nurses. Therefore, nursing managers and organization should strive to raise the perception of moral distress and burnout in long-term care hospital nurses.

본 연구는 요양병원과 종합병원 간호사의 프리젠티즘을 비교 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2019년 10월1일부터 12월 30일까지 D시, G도 소재 요양병원 3곳과 종합병원 2곳에서 현 근무경력 6개월 이상인 요양병원 간호사 74명, 종합병원 간호사 75명을 대상으로 총 149명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 실수, 백분율, 평균과 표준편차를 시행하였다. 요양병원 간호사는 종합병원 간호사보다 건강문제, 직무손실과 지각된 노동력을 더 높게 지각하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있었다. 이는 요양병원과 종합병원 간호사의 환자분류에 따른 업무강도의 차이가 없음을 보여주는 것으로 요양병원 간호서비스 질 향상을 위해서는 요양병원 간호사의 프리젠티즘에 관한 조직적인 측면의 관리가 필요함을 나타내는 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the subjective experience of job stress among nurses working in long-term care hospitals. Methods: A phenomenological approach was used for the study. Data were collected from May to June, 2016 using open-ended questions during in-depth interviews. Participants were nurses working in long-term care hospitals and had reported experiences of stress. Six nurses participated in this study. Results: Six themes emerged from the analysis using Colaizzi's method: (a) Heavy workload and responsibility due to nurse shortage, (b) Getting exhausted by caring for cognitively impaired patients, (c) Feeling pressure due to conflict with patients' family, (d) compassion for patients who are getting worse, (e) Low value in being a long-term hospital nurse, and (f) Efforts to overcome stress.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the perception and practice of hospital infection control of nursing staff in long-term care hospitals by the level of supplementation of nurses. Methods: The participants were 212 nurses and nurse assistants in 13 long-term care hospitals in a metropolitan city and the data were gathered by self-reported questionnaires during August 2011 and analyzed by SPSS/WIN program. Results: The beds per a nurse were 15, and the proportion of nurses among nursing staff in long-term care hospitals was about 33%. In general, the level of infection control in practice was lower than that of perception. The highest perception and practice domain was 'Management of disinfection/contamination', and the lower level domains were 'Personal hygiene' and 'Hand washing' There were statistically significant differences in the hospital infection control of perception and practice depending on age, education, career in long-term care hospital, job position, the quantity of beds, nurse, and nurse assistant, beds per a nurse and proportion of nurses in hospitals. Conclusion: According to these results, the systematic and continual education on hospital infection control of the nursing staff in long-term hospitals should be carried out. In addition, the policy to add more nurses into long-term care hospitals must be implemented.

The purpose of this study was to explore the level of the moral distress for nurses working in long-term care hospitals or nursing homes, and identify factors that influence the moral distress. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires including the Korean version of Moral Distress Scale-Revised (KMDS-R), Jefferson Empathy Scale for Health professionals (K-JSE-HP), Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (K-MSQ), and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS). A total of 194 nurses from 11 long-term care hospitals or 27 nursing homes completed the structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. As results, the mean score for moral distress was $73.81{\pm}51.29$ in this study. The moral distress of nurses working at nursing homes was higher than that of nurses working in long-term care hospitals. Among the sub-factors of moral distress, the 'futile care' was the highest score and the 'limit to claim the ethical issue' was the lowest. The main factor affecting moral distress among nurses in this study was the ethical climate of organization. In this paper, we propose that in order to effectively reduce the moral distress of nurses working in a long-term care hospital or a nursing home, it is more impactful to address structural issues related to the caregiver workplace than to adjust individual factors.

Second, recognition of hospital infection control was significantly different according to position and hospital infection control education experience. Performance of hospital infection control was significantly different according to education level and hospital infection control education experience.

본 연구는 요양병원 간호사의 간호행위 위임정도, 간호전문직관 및 이직의도를 파악하고 이들간의 관계를 확인함으로써 향후 간호행위 위임에 필요한 정책적 지침 및 절차에 관한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 2개 광역도 소재 6개 요양병원의 간호사 146명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 자료수집기간은 2016년 7월부터 8월까지이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 요양병원 간호사의 간호행위는 위임에 대한 명확한 지침이나 법적 절차가 없는 상태에서 7개 행위를 제외한 대부분의 간호행위가 간호보조인력에게 위임되고 있었다. 요양병원 간호사의 간호행위 위임정도와 간호전문직관, 이직의도와의 유의한 관련성은 없었으나 간호전문직관과 이직의도는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서, 요양병원 간호사의 이직의도를 낮추기 위해서는 개인적인 측면으로 긍정적인 간호전문직관을 확고히 하는 방안이 모색되어야 하며, 정책적인 측면에서는 요양병원의 적절한 간호인력배치 기준을 마련하여 간호행위 위임지침을 개발해야 한다.

현재 우리나라 요양병원은 노인인구 증가와 함께 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 요양병원에 입원하는 환자는 주로 만성질환을 가진 노인들로서 장기요양을 목적으로 하기 때문에 요양병원에서 임종하는 경우가 많아 요양병원에서의 임종간호 중요성이 점점 커지고 있다. 이러한 특징에도 불구하고 요양병원 간호사를 대상으로 임종간호에 대한 연구로는 주로 양적연구들로서 임종간호 경험에 대해 심층적으로 파악하기에 제한이 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 현상학적 방법을 통해 요양병원 간호사의 임종환자 간호경험의 의미가 무엇인지 이해하고 그 현상의 의미를 심층적으로 기술하고 이해하고자 함이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 C 시에 위치한 요양병원에서 6개월 이상 근무하고 있는 간호사 7명을 선정하였다. 연구방법은 심층 인터뷰로 2021년 12월부터 2022년 3월까지 자료를 수집하였다. 인터뷰 자료는 Giorgi의 현상학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 '임종간호에 대한 간호사의 태도', '연명에 대한 양가 감정', '요양병원의 임종간호에 대한 현실', '삶과 죽음에 대한 성찰'으로 나타났다. 따라서 요양병원 간호사의 임종간호 태도를 변화시키고 대처능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 임종간호 보수교육 및 중재 교육프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study developed a structural model for explaining and predicting terminal care performance in long-term care hospital nurses. The model was based on the stress integration model of Ivancevich and Matteson(1980) and the results of previous studies. Method: Data was obtained from August to September 2022 from 267 nurses in 13 long-term care hospitals in G-do. Results: Results of model verification for this study, revealed that factors directly affecting the terminal care performance of long-term care hospital nurses were nursing work environment(β=0.43, p<0.001), death anxiety(β=-0.29, p<0.001), and terminal care stress(β=0.22, p=0.003). However, the attitude toward nursing care of dying(β=0.07, p=0.287) had no effect on the terminal care performance. Conclusion: The results of this study, confirmed the necessity of improving an individual's perceived nursing work environment, continuous education related to terminal care to reduce death anxiety, and an interventional approach for enhancing terminal care performance.
