The main findings obtained from the responded 304 nurses are summarized as follows : 1) Among responded nurses, as much as 245 nurses (81%) complained of certain types of MHPs which were mostly born from job-related issues (a total of 77%) such as coping strategy, job performance and interpsersonal relationship, but in part from family-related issues such as education of chidren and marriage (14%). Accompanied with the MHD, one-fifth of these nurses also complained of either sign of phsyical or mental health dysfunction such as sleeplessness (25%), lack of appetite (20%) and feeling of depression (20%). 2) Although five views of personality (being optimistic, pessimistic, seirous minded, sociable and unsociable) were cited with almost the same rates (25% to 16%), optimistic nurses reproted less frequently MHPS than pessimistic ones. 3) Comparing the causative factors of MHPs based on the ages and length of nursing experience, a tendency was shown that younger nurses with insufficient experiences find them in a process of job performance, whereas older ones with adequate experiences find in family-related issues. 4) To improve physical and mental dysfunctions, sleeping, talking, listening to music and traveling were cited as major measures. However, it was shown that consultation with certain persons or specialty books is essential for nurses with MHPs to improve their situations. In light of these fidings, it is suggested that the most important and effective measure is the establishment of consultation systems in the hospitals to provide more timely and easierly the chances of consultation to nurses facing to these situations., 病院に働く看護婦は様々なストレスに曝され, 様々な精神保健問題に悩まされていることはよく知られている.しかし, これらの問題を扱った研究はわが国ではあまり見られないそこで我々はこの問題を明らかにするためにこの研究を計画し, 307名の看護婦を対象にかれらが経験している精神保健問題を調べ, 以下のような結果を得た.1)調査した対象者の81%は何らかの精神保健問題を経験し, そのうち5人に1人は精神的問題を持ち, 不眠や食欲不振, 抑うつなどの精神的・身体的不調を感じていた.2)また, 殆どの看護婦は精神保健問題の原因は彼等の対処方法, 仕事の能力, 職場の対人関係, および家族の問題にあると思っていた.3)若く経験の浅い看護婦はその原因を仕事にあると考え, 年配の経験のある看護婦はその原因を子供の養育にあると考えていた.4)対象者の3人に2人は看護婦として大らか, 生真面目, 社交的などの望ましい性格傾向を持っていた.そして大らかな人ほど精神保健問題の経験も少なかった.5)対象者のとっている, 精神保健問題の主な対処方法は寝る, おしゃべりをする, 本を読む, 音楽を聞く, 旅行をするであった.6)これらのことを考えると, 看護婦の仕事に影響する様々な精神保健問題の解決に当たっては, 看護婦自身の努力もさることながら, 病院が看護婦が気軽に利用できる効果的なカウンセリング機構を創り, そのニーズに応えることが重要である., Article}, pages = {169--177}, title = {Study on The Mental Health Problems and Their Causative Factors of Hospital Nurses}, volume = {2}, year = {1999} }
