Purpose : The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the detailed job roles of nurses working in long term care hospitals in Korea. Methods : Data were collected using individual in-depth interviews and analysed with a content analysis method. Participants were 11 nurses working more than one year in long term care hospitals. Results : A total of 4 categories, 33 subcategories, and 105 codes were generated from 465 meaningful statements (job roles). Then, 33 subcategories were classified into 4 categories (nursing roles, nursing roles/physician’s roles, physician’s roles and nursing staff roles). Among 105 of the long-term care hospital nurse job roles, thirty-eight(36.2%) was nursing role, eleven(10.5%) were nursing or physician’s roles, twenty- five(23.8%) were physician’s roles and thirty-one(29.5%) were nursing staff roles. In addition to pure nursing work, other roles also showed an high rate(63.8%). Conclusion : Guidelines for the job roles of nurses in long-term care hospitals, as well as appropriate qualifications and compensation standards, must be established.
