본 연구는 의료인의 직무스트레스와 대처 경험을 이해하고자 현상학적 방법을 적용한 질적 연구이다. 의료인의 직무스트레스와 대처 경험은 최종 5개의 범주가 도출되었다. 범주 1. 직면해 있는 과중한 환경, 범주 2. 변할 것 같지 않은 현실, 범주 3. 자타에 의한 부담감, 범주 4. 극복을 위한 노력, 범주 5. 보다 나은 업무 환경을 위한 바람이다. 본 연구에서 규명된 의료인의 직무스트레스와 대처 경험은 의료인을 위한 직무스트레스 중재를 위한 기초 자료로 활용되어 질 것이다. 또한 기존에 거의 이루어지지 않은 간호사와 의사를 대상으로 한 현상학적 연구로써 차후 질적연구에도 도움이 될 것이다.
