Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of nurses' perceived burden from work and health problems on the presentism of nurses. The study subjects were recruited from four general and tertiary hospitals in K province and D metropolitan city. A quarter of nurses had shoulder, back, and neck pain and average number of health problems was 3.62. The nurses' presenteeism score was $43.37{\pm}12.43$ points out of 100 points. There was a statistically significant relationship between nurses' perceived burden, numbers of health problems, and presenteeism. The numbers of health problems and perceived burden of nurses had significant effects on presenteeism of nurses while controlling demographic factors such as length of work experience, job position, types of hospital, and gender. These results suggested that the less burden from work and the lower number health problems could result in the lower level of presenteeism of nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop diverse strategies to reduce the burden of nurses and health problems at both individual and organizational levels as a way to increase productivity of hospital.

본 연구는 간호사의 건강문제와 업무에 대한 부담감이 프리젠티즘에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 연구대상은 K도와 D광역시 4개의 종합병원에 근무하는 간호사로 편의추출 방식으로 수집하였다. 연구결과 간호사의 건강문제는 목 어깨 등 허리통증이 가장 많이 나타났 고, 간호사는 평균 3.62개의 건강문제를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 간호사의 프리젠티즘은 100점 만점에 평균 $43.37{\pm}12.43$점으로 나타났다. 건강문제의 개수와 업무에 대한 부담감과 프리젠티즘은 유의한 정적인 상관관계가 나타났다. 건강문제의 개수와 업무에 대한 부담감은 현 병동에서의 근무기간, 직급, 의료 기관 규모, 성별 등의 인구사회 학적 요인을 통제한 상태에서 간호사의 프리젠티즘에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 업무에 대한 부담감을 낮출수록, 건강문제를 잘 관리 할수록 간호사의 프리젠티즘을 낮 출 수 있다는 결과이다. 따라서 향후 간호사의 개인수준, 조직수준, 사회수준에서 업무에 대한 부담감을 낮출 수 있는 방안이 필요하며, 이를 통해 프리젠티즘을 최소화하여 생산성을 높일 수 있어야 하겠다.
