Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the COVID-19 related post-traumatic stress, nursing work environments, and the resilience among nurses in Tertiary General Hospitals. Data were collected from 155 nurses who directly cared for COVID-19 patients and were working at the K University D Hospital in D Metropolitan City using an online survey. The SPSS 28.0 program was used for data analysis. Based on the results of the survey, post-traumatic stress showed a significant negative correlation with the nursing work environments(r=-.17, p<.001), and the nursing work environments showed a significant positive correlation with the resilience of nurses(r=.20, p<.001). Through the results of this study, it is necessary to improve the nursing work environments for managing post-traumatic stress, to build an active support system by securing manpower from the government, and to develop and apply intervention programs for improving the resilience of nurses in the COVID-19 situation.

본 연구의 목적은 COVID-19 환자를 간호한 간호사의 외상 후 스트레스, 간호근무환경과 회복탄력성의 관계를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구참여자는 D광역시 K학교 D병원에 근무하는 COVID-19 환자를 직접 간호한 간호사 155명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 28.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과 외상 후 스트레스는 간호근무환경과 유의한 음의 상관관계가(r=-.17, p<.001) 나타났고, 간호근무환경은 회복탄력성과 유의한 양의 상관관계로(r=.20, p<.001) 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 COVID-19 상황에서 간호사의 외상 후 스트레스 관리를 위해 간호근무환경 개선, 적정 간호 인력 확보를 위한 정부차원의 적극적인 지원체계 구축이 필요하며, 간호사의 회복탄력성 향상을 위한 중재 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
