Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nurses’ emotional intelligence and communication within the organization on teamwork in Armed Forces hospitals.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample of 195 nurses from five Armed Forces hospitals in Korea. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from August 7 to 23, 2017 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The SPSS/WIN 21.0 program was used for all analyses.
Results: The degree of teamwork was 5.03±0.73, with scores ranging from 1 to 7. Emotional intelligence and communication within the organization were positively correlated with teamwork. Specifically, communication within the organization (β=.60, p＜.001), the intensive care unit (β=.21, p=.001), and the medical general ward (β=.17, p=.010) were identified as factors influencing teamwork. This model explained 51% of the variance in teamwork, and it was statistically significant (F=35.09, p＜.001).
Conclusion: These results imply the need to develop an approach including communication within the organization to improve teamwork among nurses in Armed Forces hospitals.
