Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between intrinsic motivation and gender role attitudes in nurses.
Methods: The study was conducted with 261 nurses working in a university hospital between February and May 2019. Data were collected using the Individual and Professional Characteristics Information Form, the Intrinsic Motivation Scale (IMS), and the Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS). Number percent distribution, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance, Correlation analysis and Simple Linear Regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data
Results: The mean score of the intrinsic motivation sub-dimension of the nurses was 4.25±0.60; The mean GRAS score was found to be 158.40±22.14. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean intrinsic motivation score of the nurses according to the duration of working in the unit and their willingness to work in the unit (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant linear relationship between the intrinsic motivation score average of the nurses and the total and sub-dimension mean score of GRAS (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The results obtained from this study showed that the intrinsic motivation level of nurses was high. Although the nursing profession is mostly preferred by women; It was concluded that having a traditional and egalitarian attitude towards gender roles did not affect the intrinsic motivation level of nurses.

Hemşirelerde İçsel Motivasyon ve İçsel Motivasyonun Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Tutumu İle İlişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelerde içsel motivasyonun toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri tutumu ile ilişkisini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma Şubat-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan 261 hemşire ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler Bireysel ve Mesleki Özellikler Bilgi Formu, İçsel Motivasyon Ölçeği (İMÖ) ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Tutum Ölçeği (TCRTÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayı yüzde dağılımı, Mann-Whitney U testi, Kruskal-Wallis Varyans analizi, Korelasyon analizi ve Basit Doğrusal Regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Hemşirelerin içsel motivasyon alt boyut puan ortalaması 4.25±0.60; TCRTÖ puan ortalaması ise 158.40±22.14 olarak bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin birimde çalışma süresi ve birimde isteyerek çalışma durumlarına göre içsel motivasyon puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Hemşirelerin içsel motivasyon puan ortalaması ile TCRTÖ toplam ve alt boyut puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı doğrusal bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar hemşirelerin içsel motivasyon düzeyinin yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Hemşirelik mesleği en çok kadınlar tarafından tercih edilmesine karşın; toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel ve eşitlikçi tutuma sahip olmanın hemşirelerin içsel motivasyon düzeyini etkilemediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
