영문 초록

Nursing activities usually are high intensity tasks and very demanding. Improper using of body mechanics can cause fatigue and decline work satisfaction. Cross-sectional descriptive study was administered to 202 clinical nurses in South Korea to examine the relationship of the use of body mechanics with fatigue and work satisfaction. There was a statistically significant negative correlation (r=-0.233, p=0.001) between use of body mechanics principle and fatigue. However, the use of body mechanics principle and work satisfaction showed a statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.313, p<0.001). In the analyses of the difference in fatigue and work satisfaction, depending on the score group of body mechanics, it was found that the group with high score on the use of body mechanics had lower fatigue score and higher work satisfaction score, compared to the group with low score. The results of logistic regression showed that the group with higher score on use of body mechanics had 4.056 times higher work satisfaction (p<0.001, CI: 2.254-7.298) than the group with low score. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the use of body mechanics principle and establish the methods that can encourage it.
