Methods: Data were collected from 273 nurses working in university and state hospitals, who agreed to participate by using personnel information form, Hospital Ethical Climate Scale (HECS), and Job Satisfaction Scale in the study Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis, Durbin Watson test, Linear Regression analysis, t-Test, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Dunnet T3 Post Hoc test, Kurskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U test were used to evaluate the data.

Results: %96 of the nurses who participated are women, 53,8% are married, 46,5% are nursing graduates, and 7% are nursing graduates. The total mean score of the HECS applied to the participants was 92.44±18.05, and the total mean of the Job Satisfaction Scale was 3.38±67, and there was a positive correlation between them (p<0.05, r=.539). There is a statistically significant difference between the total Hospital Ethical Climate and Job Satisfaction scores of the participants who enjoy their profession and receive in-service training (p<0.05).

Hemşirelerin hastane etik iklim algılamalarının iş doyumu üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Kamu hastanelerindeki hemşirelerin çalıştıkları hastanelerdeki hastane etik iklimi algılamalarının iş doyumu üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Üniversite ve devlet hastanelerinde çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 273 hemşireden tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Hastane Etik İklim Ölçeği (HEİÖ) ve İş Doyumu Ölçeği ile veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Pearson Momentler Çarpımı korelasyon analizi, Durbin Watson testi, Lineer Regresyon analizi, t Testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans analizi (ANOVA), Dunnet T3 Post Hoc testi, Kurskal Wallis H testi, Mann Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %96’sı kadın, %53,8’ i evli, %46,5’ i hemşirelik lisans mezunu, %7’si hemşirelik yüksek lisans mezunudur. Katılımcılara uygulanan HEİÖ’inin toplam puan ortalaması 92,44±18,05, ve İş Doyumu Ölçeğinin toplam ortalaması ise 3,38±67 olup aralarında pozitif bir ilişki bulunmaktadır (p<0.05, r=0.539). Katılımcılardan mesleğini severek yapan ve hizmet içi eğitim alanların toplam Hastane Etik İklimi ve İş Doyumu puanları arasında istatistiki açıdan anlamlı fark vardır (p<0,05).

Sonuç: Hemşirelerin hastane etik ikim algılarının ve iş doyumu genel puan ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu, etik iklim algısının arttıkça iş doyumu düzeylerinin arttığı saptanmıştır.
