Abstract

This study was intended to measure the level of psychosocial stress among nurses working for a university hospital and to reveal its related factors. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 450 nurses during the period from October 1st to 31st, 2010. As a results, the level of psychosocial stress was 10.2% in normal group, 64.0% in potential stresses group, and 25.8% in high risk stress group. In correlation, psychosocial stress was positively correlated with job demand, but it was negatively correlated with job autonomy, supervisor and colleague support. For the results of hierarchial multiple regression analysis, the level of psychosocial stress was influenced by the variables of regular exercise, quality of sleep, subjective status of health, shift work, fit to the job, job demand, job autonomy and supervisor support. Especially, the psychosocial stress was higher related with the contents of job stress increased with explanatory powers of 18.1% on the psychosocial stress.

본 연구는 대학병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사들의 사회 심리적 스트레스 수준을 파악하고, 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위 특성, 직업관련 특성 및 직무스트레스 내용과의 관련성을 규명하고자 하였다. 조사대상은 한 대학병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 450명으로 하였으며, 조사는 2010년 10월 1일부터 10월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사에 의하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 사회 심리적 스트레스(PWI) 수준은 건강군이 10.2%, 잠재적 스트레스군이 64.0%, 고위험 스트레스군이 25.8%를 차지하였다. 조사대상자의 사회심리적 스트레스 수준은 업무요구도와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 업무의 자율성, 상사의 지지도 및 동료의 지지도와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 사회심리적 스트레스 수준에 영향을 미치는 관련요인으로는 규칙적 운동여부, 주관적인 수면시간의 평가, 주관적인 건강상태, 교대근무여부, 업무에 대한 적성, 업무요구도, 업무의 자율성, 상사의 지지도가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 특히 직무스트레스 내용을 나타내는 요인이 추가됨으로 해서 18.1%의 설명력을 증가시켜 사회심리적 스트레스 수준에 직무스트레스 내용이 높은 관련성이 있었다.
