Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify visiting nurses¡¯ occupational satisfaction and their stress who are working at district health centers in Chungnam province.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 109 visiting nurses of 16 district health centers in Chungnam province. The data were collected by self report questionnaires from March 1 to 31, 2010. The data were analyzed by Cronbach¡¯s ?, t-test, ANOVA (Sheffe¡¯s test), and correlation coefficient using the SPSS program.
Results: The results of this study were as follows. The occupational stress level of the subjects was 46.7 and the level of subjects¡¯ occupational satisfaction was 2.46. There was a significant negative correlation between occupational satisfaction and occupational stress (r=-.627).
Conclusion: The occupational stress level of the subjects, and stress levels of ¡®work environment,¡¯ ¡®job insecurity¡¯ and ¡®organizational structure¡¯ were higher than those of the Korean women workers¡¯ standard. The level of subjects¡¯ occupational satisfaction was lower than that of the nurse practitioners. There was a significant correlation among occupational stress and ¡®burden of workload¡¯ and ¡®visiting nurse career¡¯. The study showed that occupational stress was correlated with occupational satisfaction. The results suggest that further follow-up study on visiting nurse is necessary to relieve their occupational stress and increase occupational satisfaction.
