초록

Purpose: The emergency department (ED) has been considered
highly stressful environment to work in. However,
there has been no study evaluating the stresses endured
by emergency staffs in Korea. This study aims to evaluate
the cause and effect of stress, and coping methods used by
doctors and nurses under stress from working in an emergency
department.
Methods: Interns, residents and nurses of an emergency
center were given questionnaires that included general
health questionnaire (GHQ)-12 scale and modified Holmes
& Rahe (HR) scale to examine the cause and effect of
stress, and determine the coping methods they used to
alleviate stress. A score of greater than 20 in the GHQ-12
scale and greater than 80 in the HR scale were considered
as significant for stress. The stress scales were compared
among the three groups using analysis of variance and chisquare
test.
Results: A total of 111 participants consisting of 46 interns,
19 residents, and 46 nurses were surveyed. While the
GHQ-12 score showed no difference between groups, the
HR score showed significant differences among residents
(82.4±23.0), nurses (73.6±13.2), and interns (70.1±
17.7). Each stress score did not differ according to the age,
gender, marital status, or presence of lover. Most frequently
recorede effects of stress were difficulty waking up and
fatigue. Most frequent coping methods employed were
sleeping and smoking.
Conclusion: This study suggests that ED staffs, especially
residents, were exposed to significant amount of stress.
