진료지원간호사의 근무환경에 따른 직무소진: 2025년 보건의료노동자 실태조사를 이용한 이차자료분석

Abstract

This study examined the associations between work environment and job burnout among Physician Assistant Nurses (PANs) using data from the 2025 Survey on Working Conditions of Health and Medical Workers. A total of 3,703 PANs were identified from the raw dataset. Differences in levels of job burnout were analyzed according to sociodemographic characteristics and work environment such as job characteristics and institutional attributes. The results indicated that although most PANs had more than three years of clinical experience, 10.6% had less than three years. Additionally, 53.6% worked rotating shifts, 59.7% had been performing PAN duties before the physician–government conflict, and 44.5% reported working without formal training. Higher job burnout was observed among those with more than three years of experience, those working rotating shifts, those with over one hour of daily overtime, those assigned before the conflict, those who had not received training, and those employed at teaching hospitals. These findings underscore the need for standardized PAN education and improvements in working conditions to alleviate burnout among PANs, thereby contributing to enhanced patient safety and improved healthcare quality.
