Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of mindfulness on the relationships between emotional intelligence and stress among nurses. Cross-sectional survey design was conducted. Data were collected using questionnaire from 151 nurses who working at a university hospital in Seoul. The survey instruments included Emotional intelligence (The Wong and Law EI Scale), Mindfulness (Mindfulness Scale) and Stress (Stress Response Inventory). Data were analyzed using Baron and Kenny's (1986) a series of three regressions for mediation. The result was compared between Mindfulness as a moderator in the [Model 1] and emotional intelligence as a moderator in the [model 2]. The mediating effect of mindfulness was confirmed on the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress. The results of this study suggest that mindfulness training intervention suitable for nurses would be useful to reduce nurses' stress.

본 연구는 임상 간호사의 스트레스를 감소시키기 위한 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 전 단계로써, 임상 간호사의 감성 지능, 마음챙김, 스트레스 변수 사이에서 마음챙김의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 임상 간호사 151명에게 감성지능(The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale), 마음챙김(Mindfulness scale), 스트레스(Stress Response Inventory)의 수준을 조사하고, Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 매개효과 분석법에 따라 단계적 회귀분석을 하였다. 마음챙김을 매개변수로 한 모델과 감성지능을 매개변수로 한 모델을 비교한 결과, 감성지능과 스트레스의 관계에서 마음챙김의 매개효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 임상 간호사의 마음챙김을 강화하면 스트레스를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 임상 간호사에게 적합한 마음챙김 훈련 프로그램을 개발하여 중재하는 것이 필요하다고 시사한다.
