Purpose: This study is a descriptive research conducted for looking into the role awareness level. role conflicts, and job satisfaction among professional home care nurses in the field of hospital based home care nursing service.
Method: 154 specialized home care nurses in 63 hospitals and clinics that are implementing home care programs were subject to the study.
Result: 1. The level of role awareness among professional home care nurses was 4.47±0.41 on average out of 5. 2. The average score for role conflicts was 3.87±0.61 out of 5. 3. In terms of job satisfaction level. 3.33±0.71 was scored out of 5. 4. It has been discovered that there are statistically significant positive correlations among role awareness level, role conflicts(r= .224, P= .005), and job satisfaction level(r= .166, P=.040), while a negative correlation was detected between role conflicts and job satisfaction level(r=-.210, P= .009).
Conclusion: The level of role awareness among professional home care nurses in the field of hospital based home care nursing service was very high and job satisfaction level was high when the level of home care nursing antecedents was high and the organization structure of working place was independent. But the level of role conflicts coming out of the weakness of job-supporting system was high. So the realistic alternative such as the improvement of working environment by administrative, institutional support, is required to make up for this problem in the future.
