Purpose: Accreditation has become obligatory for long-term care hospitals and the process can affect 'job stress'
and 'burnout resilience' among nurses in these hospitals. The purpose of this study was to examine how these
factors are related among nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: Participants were 88 nurses working in
J province long-term care hospitals which had received accreditation within the past one year. A structured questionnaire
was used for data collection which was analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0 Window Program for descriptive
statistics, t-test, one way-ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Mean scores were for 'Recognition
of healthcare accreditation', 3.41±0.50 of a possible 5, for 'job stress', 3.10±0.47 and for 'burnout resilience',
3.46±0.48. 'Recognition of healthcare accreditation' showed a significant negative correlation with 'job stress'
and a significant positive correlation with 'burnout resilience' among nurses. 'Job stress' had a significant negative
correlation with 'burnout resilience' of nurses. Conclusion: These findings suggest that 'burnout resilience' can
play an important role in decreasing 'job stress' and promoting 'recognition of healthcare accreditation'. Developing
systematic training programs and institutional support systems are necessary so that nurses face less job stress
and develop more burnout resilience and can better recognize the importance of healthcare accreditation.
