Abstract

This study is to conceptualize nurses' satisfaction, patient satisfaction about nurses and hospital, and patients' revisit and recommendation intention as linear structural equation model, and then, identify the significance of the path coefficient and goodness of the research model. Data were collected from 2,079 nurses and 6,776 patients in 5 university hospitals. The results were as follows: The research model was generally found to be good in terms of goodness of fit. The significance of the path coefficients are as follows. 1)A nurse's satisfaction has great influence on a patient's satisfaction about nurses, 2)A patient's satisfaction about nurses has influence on patient's satisfaction about the hospital, 3)A patient's satisfaction about the hospital has great influence on patient's revisit intention, 4)A patient's satisfaction about the hospital has great influence on patient's recommendation intention. These results will provide basic data for the hospital managers practicing customer satisfaction strategies in their health care marketing.

본 연구는 이론적 고찰을 기초로 하여 대학병원의 간호사만족도, 간호사에 대한 환자만족도, 병원에 대한 환자만족도, 환자의 병원재방문의향 및 타인추천의향 간의 가설적 구조모형을 구축하고, 모형의 적합성과 경로의 유의성을 확인하였다. 연구대상은 5개 대학병원의 간호사 2,079명과 해당 병원의 의료서비스를 받은 6,776명의 환자이다. 연구결과 가설적 모형은 전체적인 적합지수를 고려하였을 때 적합한 모형으로 판단되었으며, 간호사의 만족도가 환자의 간호사에 대한 만족도에 미치는 영향, 환자의 간호사에 대한 만족도가 환자의 병원에 대한 만족도에 미치는 영향, 환자의 병원에 대한 만족도가 병원재이용의향과 타인추천의향 미치는 영향 등의 4개 경로가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 병원의 경영자와 관리자들이 간호사 만족도를 병원성과의 주요 요소로 포함하여 고객만족전략을 실천할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
