임상간호사의 상급종합병원에서 종합병원으로의 이직경험: 현상학적 연구

초록

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the turnover experience of nurses who moved from a tertiary medical institution to a general hospital and to understand the meaning of the move for them. Methods: This is a phenomenological qualitative study using Colaizzi's (1978) method. Semi-structured, open-ended questions and in-depth interviews were conducted to 11 nurses within 3 years after turnover to a general hospital at a tertiary medical institution, between April, 2018 to September, 2018. Results: The four theme clusters and thirteen themes emerged. The core theme licited I was “the journey to find-balance and leave.” Four theme clusters were; “advance to a dream job”, including ‘expectation for my work’, ‘my confidence and family pride’, “unstable my dream job” including ‘stand alone in a desert’, ‘crushed by extra work’, ‘torn protection’, ‘invisible future’, “my job that I wish to keep” including ‘unconditional patience for growth’, “I can't be a loser” is desperate selfinspiration’ ‘leaning on comfort and support', and finally “my place I found again.” including ‘being prepared to be by my side’, ‘restoring work-life balance’, ‘revealed my existence’, and ‘unsatisfied with new work’. Conclusion: Participants choose of turnover for physical and psychological well-being, instead of the romance of the tertiary medical institution. This showed the characteristics of the millennial generation that values the comfort and relaxation in one's life prior to professional vision of nursing care as a nurse, and success. The result is meaningful as an understanding of effective job management for current-generation clinical nurses.
