Abstract

This study was to explore the relationship between the job stress and mental health of nurses. The participants were 291 nurses from two general hospitals in C city. Job stress, mental health, and general characteristics of nurses were measured. The data were collected from April 7 to 30, 2015. The collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. The mean score for job stress was 61.96 point and 92.45 for mental health. The mean scores for job stress were significantly different by age and turnover experience in nurses. Job stress was positively correlated with mental health(r=.233, p=.000). The findings indicate that job stress has an influence on mental health. We'd like to provide basic data on developing convergence programs to prevent and intervene job stress considering nurses' mental health problems in nursing service that is rapidly changing and specialized for the convergence generation.

본 연구는 간호사의 직무 스트레스와 정신건강과의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 C시에 소재한 2개 종합병원 간호사 291명으로 하였다. 연구대상자의 직무 스트레스, 정신건강, 일반적 특성을 조사하였고, 자료 수집은 2015년 4월 7일부터 4월 30일까지였다. 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation 및 multiple regression analysis로 분석하였다. 연구결과 직무 스트레스는 61.96점, 정신건강은 92.45점으로 나타났다. 대상자의 직무 스트레스는 나이, 이직경험에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 직무 스트레스는 정신건강과 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다(r=.233, p=.000). 본 연구는 간호사의 정신건강 관련 요인으로 직무 스트레스의 역할을 실증적으로 확인하였다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 따라서 융합시대에 맞게 급변하고 전문화 되고 있는 간호업무에서 간호사의 정신건강을 고려한 직무 스트레스 예방 및 중재를 위한 융합적 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.
