RESULTS: Job satisfaction showed statistically significant differences depending on age, academic background, religion, clinical career, clinical career in emergency department, position, sleeping hour and reason for working. Job satisfaction showed significantly positive correlations with ego-resilience (r=.70, p<.001), self-leadership (r=.46, p<.001) and stress coping (r=.57, p<.001). Ego-resilience (β=.54), sleeping hours over 8 hours (β=.17) and reason for working (β=.17) were significant predictors and accounted for 56.6%. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, it is needed to develop a program in order to improve ego-resilience of ED nurses.
