Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the influence of emotional labor and job stress on somatization symptoms of the nurse officers.
Methods : The participants were 183 nurse officers. Data were collected using a questionnaire which consisted of 9 questions about emotional labor(Kim, 1998), 61 questions regarding job stress(Nam, 2006), and 12 questions related to somatization symptoms(Oh, 2008; Shin & Kang, 2011).
Results : The mean score for emotional labor, job stress, and somatization symptoms were 3.17±.57, 3.05±.37, and 1.57±.47, respectively. There were significant correlations among somatization symptoms, emotional labor, and job stress. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between emotional labor and job stress. The construction of a stepwise multiple regression model revealed R2 of 0.259 with emotional labor and job stress serving as the major predictor variables for somatization symptoms.
Conclusion : Although nurse officers have less somatization symptoms, emotional labor and job stress are major influencing factors on somatization symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a developing program that can reduce somatization symptoms by controling emotional labor and job stress.
