Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to explore and measure job
satisfaction as perceived by perioperative nurses, specifically from the perspective of contemporary perioperative nursing
in Korea.
Method: Items (69) were developed from the responses to two open-ended questions by 168 perioperative
nurses in one teaching hospital; (a) reasons that make work enjoyable, (b) reasons that make work unpleasant. Finally
55 items were selected, excluding items with lower correlation with the total scale. The instrument was completed by
885 perioperative nurses from 89 different hospitals nationwide who were attending the annual conference of the Korean
Association Operating Room Nurses (KAORN), yielding a response rate of 95.6%.
Results: Ten factors were extracted by factor analysis, which explained 60.0% of the total variance; Reliability and internal consistency were established (Cronbach’s alpha=.95). A smaller sample of 39 perioperative nurses completed the instrument on two occasions, with a 2-week interval between. Mean scores were computed and two sets of scores were analyzed by Weighted Kappa (W-Kappa=0.680, p=.029).
Conclusion: This instrument is a concise, highly practical and flexible tool, which can be used for the perioperative nurse in a wide range of hospital settings.
