Abstract

This study examines ethical confidence among clinical nurses. Data were collected from the 10th to 29th November 2014 with a structured questionnaire from 125 clinical nurses. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 21.0. to obtain percentage, average, mean rating, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. The degree of ethical confidence in research targets showed remarkable differences statistically by age (F=3.14, p=.017), education (F=7.36, p<.001), career duration (t=-2.31, p=.024), and code of ethics knowledge (t=-3.17, p=.002). Ethical Confidence was positively correlated, r=.25(p<.001) with the degree of ethical values. There was a significant difference in Ethical Confidence by ethical value, education, and code of ethics knowledge. The total explanatory power was 15.0% and the explanatory power of the degree of ethical value(${\beta}=.28$) was greater than other factors. To help clinical nurses improve ethical confidence, interventions should be provided to increase ethical value, education, and knowledge about the code of ethics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement such programs to improve ethical confidence in clinical nurses.

본 연구의 목적은 임상간호사의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감 영향요인을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 임상간호사 125명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 실시하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료수집 기간은 2014년 11월 10일부터 동년 11월 29일까지였다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 21.0. 프로그램을 이용하여 실수와 백분율 평균, 평균평점과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA와 Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients 및 stepwise multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 임상간호사의 제 특성에 따른 윤리적 딜레마 정도는 연령(F=3.14, p=.017)에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 윤리적 의사결정 자신감 정도는 교육정도(F=7.36, p<.001), 임상경력(t=-2.31, p=.024), 윤리강령 인지여부(t=3.17, p=.002)에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 윤리적 의사결정 자신감은 윤리적 가치관과 정적인 상관관계를 보여 주었다(r=.25, p<.001). 윤리적 의사결정 자신감은 윤리적 가치관, 교육정도, 윤리강령 인지여부에 따라서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 전체 설명력은 15%였으며, 다른 영향요인 보다 가장 큰 영향력은 윤리적 가치관 (${\beta}=.28$) 으로 나타났다. 따라서 임상간호사의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감을 향상시키기 위해서는 윤리적 가치관, 교육정도, 윤리강령에 대한 지식 정도를 향상시켜야 할 필요가 있을 것이다. 따라서 임상간호사의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감을 향상시키기 위한 프로그램의 실행이 필요하다.
