다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship between nursing competency, professional self-concept, and job satisfaction of outpatient oncology nurses caring for cancer patients and to identify the influencing factors on job satisfaction. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study to determine the relationship between nursing competency, professional self-concept, and job satisfaction of outpatient oncology nurses. Data were collected from 104 outpatient oncology nurses at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea, using a self-report questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression analyses were conducted using SPSSWIN 27.0. Results: The results showed that the nursing competency mean was 3.89±0.46 out of 5, professional self-concept mean was 2.84±0.36 out of 4, and job satisfaction mean was 3.88±0.57 out of 5. Job satisfaction was significantly positively correlated with nursing competency (r=.70, p<.001) and professional self-concept (r=.63, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that nursing competency (β=.51, p<.001) and professional self-concept (β= .31, p=.001) were significant predictors of job satisfaction and had an overall explanatory power of 54%. Conclusion: In this study, professional self-concept and nursing competency were identified as influential factors in the job satisfaction of outpatient oncology nurses caring for cancer patients. Based on the findings of this study, it is necessary to develop a program to increase professional self-concept and enhance nursing competency to improve the job satisfaction of outpatient oncology nurses.
