|
This study was designed to grasp to burnout levels and stress factors among nurses who were late for night duty. The sample consisted of 124 nurses who were working at 4 general hospitals in Chollabuk-do. The nurses were surveyed by means of a questionnaire for two weeks from December 11 to Dec. 24, 1986.
The results of the study can be summarized as follows:
1. An analysis of the relationship of nurses´ burnout levels and general characteristics on night duty showed statistically significant difference in burnout levels for: age (p <.05), marital status (p < .05) working department (p < .05), nursing carrier (p < .001), night duty nursing carrier (p < .05), period of nursing experience in present working department (p < .05), expected working period as a nurse (p < .05), stress coping method (p < .05). The standard mean score for burnout was 2.84, based on maximum score of 5.00. This was signi-ficantly high among the nurses surveyed, being compared with the previous studies.
2. An analysis about the stress factors and levels of nurses who were late for night duty showed that among the five stress factors the most serious factor was work load (3.479) and the rest factors were placed in order as duty schedule (3.432), knowledge and skill (3.356), environment (3.119), personal relations (3.306).
3. An analysis of mutual relationship among all the five stress factors indicated statistically significant difference. (p < .001). The factors that showed the high correlation coefficient over r=.50 are placed in order as work load and knowledge & skill (r=.636), personal relations and environment (r=.544), personal relations and knowledge & skill (r=.543), and work load & personal relations (r=.508).
4. The correlation coefficient between the degree of stressor and the burnout level about stress factors represented relatively high index as r=.426.
