Abstract

This study analyzed the Korean nurses association news described nurses' work-family balance for fifteen years by drawing on the qualitative thematic approach. From September 14, 2012 to February 10, 2015, data were collected by searching news articles associated with nurses' work and family balance published from 2000 to 2014 in the Korean nurses' association news online. A total of 73 news articles were used for data analysis. Two themes and ten sub-themes were derived; under the first theme of the government policy on work-family balance, the 'policies of maternity leave', 'parenting support', 'working condition improvement', and 'family-friendly culture' were identified as the sub-themes. For the second theme of Korean nurses association activities on work-family balance, the 'activities for various working shifts', 'constructing 24 hours childcare facilities', 'supporting unemployed nursing workforce development', 'healthy birth and parenting environment', 'family-friendly work environment', and 'securing nurses for nursing shortage' were identified as sub-themes. The Korean nurses association news in terms of work-family balance providing a voice for nurses regarding the benefit of maternity leave, increasing awareness of gender equality from a gender perspective, and leading the public attention to it in depth.

본 연구는 질적 주제 분석방법을 적용하여 간호사신문에서 간호사의 일-가정 양립을 위한 주제가 어떻게 다루어지고 있는지 조사하였다. 자료 수집은 2012년 9월 14일부터 2015년 2월 10일까지 간호사신문 웹 사이트를 통해 수집하였으며, 분석 대상은 2000년부터 2014년까지의 일-가정 양립 관련 기사 총 473건이었다. 연구결과 일-가정 양립 정부정책, 일-가정 양립을 위한 대한간호협회의 활동 등 2개의 주제와 10개의 하부주제가 도출되었다. 일-가정 양립 정부정책으로는 육아 휴가 정책, 자녀양육 지원정책, 근무제도 개선정책, 가족친화적 문화정책이며, 일-가정 양립을 위한 대한간호협회의 활동으로는 다양한 근무형태 도입을 위한 활동, 24시간 직장보육시설 확충을 위한 활동, 유휴간호인력 지원 활동, 건강한 출산 양육환경 조성 활동, 가족친화적인 직장 환경을 위한 활동, 대체인력을 확보하기 위한 활동으로 도출되었다. 지난 15년간 일-가정 양립을 다룬 기사의 수는 양적으로 증가하는 양상이었으며, 국가적 사건이나 사회 분위기에 따라 그 관심의 정도가 다르게 나타났고, 대한간호협회의 활동이 정부의 정책과 유기적인 관련성을 나타냈다. 간호사신문이 일-가정 양립과 관련하여 앞으로 선도해야 할 방향은 양성평등을 대변하는 젠더관점으로의 전환, 모성보호관련 이행이 취약한 실태나 문제점 등을 심층적으로 공론화하는 등 간호사의 입장을 대변해야 함을 시사한다.
