Abstract:
The purpose of the research were to study health of professional nurses, government university hospital; to analyze relationship between personal factor including age, education and income, safety climate, job stress and health of professional nurses, government university hospital; and to predict health of professional nurses, government university hospital. The study subjects consisted of 361 of professional nurses who were selected by multi-stage sampling. The research instrument were questionnaires of Personal Factor, Safety Climate (SC), Job Stress (JS) and Health of professional nurses. Questionnaires were tested for content validity were .85, .89, and .95, respectively. All instruments were analyzed internal reliability of SC, JS and Health of professional nurses with alpha conbrach of .90, .82, and .92, respectively. The data were analyzed by frequency, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, Pearsons product moment correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Major finding of this study were as follows: 1. Health of professional nurses, government university hospital was at good level ( x = 3.84, SD = 0.80) 2. Age, income, and safety climate were significant and positively related to health of professional nurses at .05 level (r = .176, .245, .378 respectively, p < .05) while job stress was significant and negatively related to health of professional nurses at .05 level (r = -.239, p < .05). 3. The predictors of health of professional nurses were safety climate, income, and job stress respectively. These predictors were accounted for 21.3 percent of variance (R2 = .213, p < .05). The study equation was as follows: HEALTH = .336 SAFETY CLIMATE + .187 INCOME - .165 JOB STRES
