Abstract

This study is a descriptive survey research on nursing workers at long-term care hospitals, who are largely divided into nurses and nurse aides, to identify the factors that affect their turnover intention. From August 12 to 16, 2022, the survey was conducted for 146 nursing workers in four long-term care hospitals located in G city. The survey results indicated that there were differences in their turnover intention depending on their age, religion, marital status, educational level, average monthly salary, job type, duty pattern and turnover experience, of all general characteristics (p<.05). Turnover intention had a significant positive correlation with job stress (r=.51, p<.001) and burnout (r=.62, p<.001), and had a significant negative correlation with organizational commitment (r=.-56, p<.001). Organizational commitment had a significant negative correlation with job stress (r=-.25, p=.002) and burnout (r=.-.67, p<.001), while burnout had a significant positive correlation with job stress (r=.56, p<.001). Factors influencing the nursing workers' turnover intention included job stress (β=.32, p<.001), organizational commitment (β=-.30, p=.001) and education level (β=.17, p=.022), with an explanatory power of 49.6%. Based on the results of this study, it is considered that efforts to improve the working environment for nursing workers at long-term care hospitals are needed by reducing their job stress and improving organizational commitment in order to reduce their turnover intention.

본 연구는 요양병원 간호종사자인 간호사 및 간호조무사를 대상으로 이직의도에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2022년 8월 12일부터 16일까지 G시 소재 4개 요양병원 간호종사자 146명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 연구결과, 이직의도는 일반적 특성 중 연령, 종교, 결혼상태, 학력정도, 월 평균 급여, 직종, 근무형태 및 이직경험에 대해 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 이직의도는 직무스트레스(r=.51, p<.001) 및 소진(r=.62, p<.001)과는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으며 조직몰입과는 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다(r=.-56, p<.001). 조직몰입은 직무스트레스(r=-.25, p=.002) 및 소진(r=.-.67, p<.001)과 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었으며 소진은 직무스트레스(r=.56, p<.001)와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 직무스트레스(β=.32, p<.001), 조직몰입(β=-.30, p=.001), 학력정도(β=.17, p=.022)로 나타났으며 설명력은 49.6%였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 요양병원 간호종사자의 직무스트레스 감소 및 조직몰입 향상을 위한 근무환경 개선 등을 통해 이직의도 감소를 위한 노력이 필요하리라 생각된다.
