As the whole world took on the tendency to be highly industrialized, it became necessary for each field of occupation to require professional man power. Especially, since the World War II, the participation of woman power in economic activities has been continually increasing. In our country also, because of the rapid economic growth, change in the way of thinking of women as well as their participation in, economic activities are increasing. Thus, woman power is being utilized in various occupational fields from simple physical labor to those that require high-professional skill.
Also, continued economic development policies, by setting the establishment of welfare society as the ideology to be fulfilled, brought expansion of medical facilities in the field of public health and increase in man power in that field. As for the nursing specialists, more than 6000 have been being produced per year and as of the end of 1988, the total number of nursing specialists, reached 123, 115.
Therefore, this study is done to recognize the professional knowledge and ability of nursing specialists, who take up 40% of the total public-health related man power in our country, through evaluating their working environment and their disposition of character.
This study, which was done from September 18th to September 30th 1989, took on the method of using formed questionnaires that had been amended and supplemented during two preparatory investigations, 322 of such questionnaires were used as an analytical material.
In the formation of questionnaires, 12 questions were related to the working environment, and 26 in for total were related to the disposition of character, 5 for wise-disposition, 11 for active disposition and 10 for open-disposition.
The measuring method, which used 5-point-standard, allowed 5 points for affirmative recognition of the working environment, also 5 points for showing wise, active and open disposition of character and only 1 point in opposite cases.
Collected materials were analyzed, through an electronic calculation, into the average value, the standard deflection percentage, pearson correlative number and stepwise multiple regression.
Summarizing the results from this study is as follows :
1. It was shown that the nursing specialists with the average of 3.07 have affirmative recognition of their working environment. The questions which drew most affirmative reaction were those concerning finance-management system such as hand, the questions that received negative reaction were those concerning communication method with the average of 2.49. Such reaction seems to have resulted from the cramming regulation by the superior authorities.
Concerning the recognition of working environment in relation to employment conditions, more affirmative recognition is shown with the average of 3.14 at hospitals where injection job is not performed.
The nursing specialists working at regular hospitals show more affirmative recognition than those at general hospitals, the averages being respectiely 3.16 and 3.03.
2. As for the disposition of character of the nursing specialists, active-disposition was highest with the average of 3.38, next was wise-disposition with 3.20 and the lowest was open-disposition with 2.98.
Variable-wise disposition of character shows that wise-disposition and academic background are beneficially correlated by 0.12. Ative-disposition and open-disposition show correlation to the office term by respectively 0.16 and 0.21.
In other words, better academic background leads to higher wise-disposition and more experience results in higher active and open disposition.
Also, the class that performs the injection job, in relation to the working environment, might cause change in the self-conceit that identify those in that class with the nurses ; however, as far as professional judgment and action, in dealing with nursing job, being wise, active and open is concerned, not much effect is made.
3. The relation between the recognition of the working environment and the disposition of character is that more affirmative recognition a nursing specialist has about her working environment, the higher the active-disposition becomes by 0.13. The degrees of the relation between recognition of environment and wise and open dispositions show respectively 0.06 and -0.06 and -0.06. That is to say that when having more affirmative recognition of the working environment, a nursing specialist shows wise but closed disposition of character. This, however, didn´t mean much statistically.
When observing the results mentioned above, it is conspicuous that the nursing specialists, working as substitutes for the nurse at medical institutions of various sizes, get the feeling of being somewhat equal to the nurses and to some extent, fulfill their desire to accomplish their ego ; however, as far as professional ability expansion if concerned, they lack wise and open dispositions.
Therefore, considering upon the results of this study, in medical institutions where the work of nursing specialists is regaded equal to that of the nurses, as a medical member who deals with human lives, it is desirable to make the nursing specialists work under the supervision of the nurses and to offer them continuous education to strengthen and improve their natural dispositions.
