男性看護師におけるHopeを媒介としたワーク・エンゲイジメントのプロセスモデルの検討：混合研究法

An Examination of a Process Model of Work Engagement Mediating Hope in Male Nurses: A Mixed Methods Research

要旨

　目的：男性看護師におけるHopeを媒介としたワーク・エンゲイジメント（WE）プロセスモデルを明らかにする．

　方法：混合研究法の説明的デザインを用いた．男性看護師839名にWeb調査を行い，WEプロセスモデルを構造方程式モデリングで検証した．同意を得た13名に半構造化面接を行い，内容を量的結果と統合した．

　結果：228名を解析対象とした（有効回答率27.2％）．WEプロセスモデルとして，上司の配慮，看護関連資格，進学の支援がHopeを仲介しWEに影響していた（GFI＝.951，AGFI＝.906，RMSEA＝.084）．対象者は男性役割を意識しており，上司の配慮とHopeの関連は「支援の充実した組織でキャリアアップを目指す」等で説明された．

　結論：男性看護師のHopeを媒介したWEプロセスモデルを混合研究法で明らかにした．男性看護師は性別意識を持つ一方，仕事と家庭の両立も意識していた．

　Aim: We identified a hope-mediated work engagement ("WE") process model in male nurses.

　Methods: An explanatory design using mixed methods research was used. A web-based survey was administered to 839 male nurses, and a process model of WE was tested using structural equation modeling. Thereafter, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 consenting participants, and the content was integrated with quantitative results.

　Results: Responses of 228 participants were included in the analysis (valid response rate 27.2％). As a process model of WE, supervisor consideration, nursing-related qualifications, and support for higher education mediated hope and influenced WE (GFI＝.951, AGFI＝.906, RMSEA＝.084). Participants were aware of their male role, and the association between supervisor consideration and hope was explained by "career advancement in a more supportive organization," etc.

　Conclusion: In the process of clarifying hope-mediated WE process model among male nurses using a mixed method research, male nurses were found to be gender-aware; however, they were also aware of balancing work and family life.
