Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore job stress, coping strategies and life satisfaction, and to identify related factors in long-term care workers. A cross-sectional study was used to study 111 long-term care workers in Gyeonggi-do. Questionnaires were given to the workers, and data were collected between 1 February and 30 March 2015. The data were analyzed using a stress scale, and a life-satisfaction index. The major findings were: 1) The type of facility was a significant factor in life satisfaction of long-term care workers (F=4.11, p=.020). 2) A statistically significant relationship existed between job stress(r=-.46, p<.001), coping strategies(r=.21, p=.040) and life satisfaction. 3) The results of the regression analyses showed that job stress, coping strategies, and type of facility were statistically significant in predicting the life satisfaction level of long-term care workers. The result of this study provides a better understanding of job stress, coping strategies, and life satisfaction in long-term care workers.

본 연구는 노인 장기요양기관 종사자인 요양보호사들의 업무 스트레스와 대처전략을 파악하고 이 요인들이 생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 시도되었다. 연구 대상은 경기도에 소재한 노인장기요양기관(재가센터, 요양원, 요양병원)에 근무하는 요양보호사 111명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집을 위한 설문조사는 2015년 2월 1일부터 3월 30일까지 연구자가 노인장기요양기관에 방문하여 요양보호사들에게 연구에 대해 설명 후 설문지를 회수하는 방법으로 실시하였다. 연구결과 생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 주는 인구학적 변수는 시설형태(F=4.11, p=.020)였으며, 생활만족도와 업무스트레스는 음의 관계(r=-.46, p<.001), 대처전략과는 양의 관계(r=.21, p=.040)로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과 생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 미친 변수는 업무스트레스, 대처전략, 시설형태였으며 24.0%의 설명력을 가졌다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 요양보호사의 생활만족도에서 업무스트레스와 대처의 중요성을 확인할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 근무시설 에 따른 차이를 확인할 수 있었고 차별화된 직무 환경 개선이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
