Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify the current status of research on job stress conducted in Korea and to suggest directions for future nursing research. Methods: A total of 395 articles (76 nursing science, 100 health science, 219 social science) selected from 'Korean Research Foundation Registered Journals' were reviewed. The papers were classified by criteria, focusing on research frameworks, topics and methodologies. Results: There has been a rapid increase in the number of articles since the 1990s. However, the following issues were discovered: lack of theoretical frameworks about factors related to job stress, a paucity of attention to sophisticated methodologies including the development of strong measurement tools, and incoherence among the level of theory, level of measurement, and/or level of statistical analysis. Conclusion: Based on the key findings of this study the following are proposed: increased efforts to develop theoretical framework to guide empirical investigations, improvements in methodological rigor, research conduct with various job groups with different approaches such as qualitative or experimental research, and encouragement for interdisciplinary approaches to the study on job stress.
