본 연구는 재활병동 간호사와 일반병동 간호사의 직무특성, 조직의사소통, 직무스트레스 및 직무만족도를 확인하고, 두 집단 간의 차이를 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. B 광역시 소재 150병상 이상 200병상 이하 규모의 재활전문병원 3곳, 중소병원 3곳에서 근무하는 재활병동 간호사 132명과 일반병동 간호사 131명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 25.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 재활병동 간호사가 일반병동 간호사에 비해 직무특성과 조직의사소통이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 재활병동 간호사의 직무만족도는 직무특성과 조직의사소통과는 정적 상관관계, 직무스트레스와 부적 상관관계가 있었으며, 일반병동 간호사의 직무만족도는 조직의사소통과 정적 상관관계, 직무스트레스와 부적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 재활병동 간호사와 일반병동 간호사의 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 요인은 직무스트레스 및 조직의사소통으로 나타났으며, 각각의 설명력은 38.8%, 22.7%였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 직무스트레스와 조직의사소통은 재활병동 간호사와 일반병동 간호사의 직무만족도에 영향을 주는 것으로, 직무스트레스 관리와 효율적인 조직의사소통의 중요성이 확인되었다.
