[An investigation of factors affecting job satisfaction among psychiatric nurses--focussed on stress-coping and a character tendency].
The relation between stress, stress coping behavior and job satisfaction was investigated for psychiatric nurses who work in the northern part of Kyushu and the Chugoku district of Japan. As a result, the people with high job satisfaction had a tendency for the stress coping ability to be high, the daily stress of the people with low job satisfaction was high, and a relation with the character which is the individual characteristic was also seen. In the relation between stress management factor and job satisfaction, those who can have change of action by a hobby, amusement, etc., those with a strong tolerance to stress and the people with social support showed a tendency for job satisfaction to be high. The people especially with a high degree of satisfaction with their professional status showed the tendency for the stress management factor to be high. On the contrary, the people with a high stressor of daily hassles showed the tendency for job satisfaction to be low. Moreover, anger, nervousness and the people with a tendency to take a Type A action pattern showed the tendency for job satisfaction to be low. From these findings, it is suggested that a stressor or not only coping behavior but character tendency is related to job satisfaction.
