Abstract

The purpose of this study was to elucidate public health nurses' empowerment to public health center managers' transformational leadership and public health nurses' social capital. From Feb. 29 to Apr. 8, 2016, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 303 public health nurses, the public nursing officials working at public health centers in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 program and factors affecting the health-related quality of life were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Public health nurses' empowerment had a positive correlation with transformational leadership and social capital. The managers' transformational leadership perceived by the public health nurses and the social capital of the public health nurses were included in the factors affecting their empowerment. The results of the study indicate that these variables should be considered in developing nursing intervention programs to increase empowerment in public health nurses.

본 연구는 보건간호사의 임파워먼트 정도를 파악하고 보건간호사가 인식한 관리자의 변혁적 리더십과 보건간호사의 사회적 자본이 임파워먼트에 미치는 영향 요인을 검증하였다. 서술적 조사 연구로써 대구광역시 8개 보건소와 경상북도 23개 보건소 및 1개 보건의료원에 근무하는 정규 간호직 공무원인 보건간호사 전체 360명을 대상으로 2016년 2월 29일부터 4월 8일까지 설문지를 이용하여 자료 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, 독립 t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficient 및 위계적 다중선형회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 보건간호사의 임파워먼트는 보건간호사가 인식한 보건소장의 변혁적 리더십과 보건간호사의 사회적 자본이 증가할수록 보건간호사의 임파워먼트가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 보건소장이 변혁적 리더십을 발휘한다면 보건소 업무의 중추적인 역할을 감당하는 보건간호사의 임파워먼트는 높아지고 업무수행에 발휘될 것이고. 또한 보건간호사의 사회적 자본을 증가시켜 준다면 보건 간호사의 임파워먼트는 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
