Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify relationship on Symptoms of Stress (SOS) and Communication Styles (CS), Type of Personality (TP) of the clinical nurses in Korea. The CS and TP among the clinical nurses has been considered as major variables to influencing factors on SOS. However, little research has been done on CS among the clinical nurses in Korean. Data were collected over 6 month period on 265 clinical nurses in three general hospital in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlations. Results indicated significant positive correlation (p＜.05) among blaming type of communication, physical, emotional, and cognitive-behavioral SOS. Being irrelevant type of communication showed significant positive correlation (p＜.05) with physical, emotional, and cognitive-behavioral SOS. Congruence type of type of communication showed significant negative correlation (p＜.05) with emotional SOS. Data from this study suggest that blaming, being super-reasonable, being irrelevant, congruence communication styles are significant influencing factors on SOS of the clinical nurses in Korea. These results have important implications for the development and testing of communication training program (CTP) for the clinical nurses. In developing CTP, the major influencing variables described above, need to be carefully evaluated.
