Development of a job satisfaction scale for nurses <Notes>

医療を取り巻く環境の変化に伴い,看護師の職務満足の重要性が見直されている。本研究は,看護師の職務満足を測定する新たな尺度の開発と,その信頼性と妥当性の検討を目的とした。中国地方の公立病院において,予備調査で収集された108項目を用いた質問紙調査を実施した。探索的因子分析の結果,県立広島病院版看護師職務満足尺度(JSN-H)が作成された。本尺度の内的一貫性は高いことが確認できた。また,すべての下位尺度とポジティブな気分,総合的満足感,就業継続意思との間に有意な正の相関,ネガティブな気分との間に有意な負の相関が認められ,構成概念妥当性が高いことが確認できた。以上のことから,JSN-H の14下位尺度は看護師の職務満足度を測定できると結論づけられた。With changing environment of medical care, the importance of nurses' job satisfaction has been reevaluated. This study aimed at development of a new nurses' job satisfaction scale as well as examination of its reliability and validity. At a public hospital in Chugoku area, a questionnaire research consisting of 108 items, which were collected from the preliminary research, was conducted. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, Job satisfaction inventory for nurses - Hiroshima prefectural hospital edition (JSN-H) was developed. The internal consistency of the subscales was high. The construct validity of the subscales was high, as each of the subscales was positively correlated with positive mood, comprehensive satisfaction, and working intention, while each of the subscales was negatively correlated with negative mood. Therefore, it was concluded that 14 subscales of the new scale could measure nurses' job satisfaction
