YOĞUN BAKIM ÜNİTELERİNDE ÇALIŞAN HEMŞİRELERİN MESLEKİ YETKİNLİK VE İŞ DOYUMU DÜZEYLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

ÖZET

Araştırma, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan hemşirelerin mesleki yetkinlik ve iş doyumu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel türde yapılmıştır. 01 Şubat- 30 Nisan 2022 tarihleri arasında Karabük Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde çalışan 124 yoğun bakım hemşiresi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler; katılımcı bilgi formu, hemşire yetkinlik ölçeği (HYÖ) ve hemşire iş doyum ölçeği (HİDÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Shapiro-Wilk, Bonferroni, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni testleri ve Pearson korelasyon analizi ve Cronbach alpha katsayısı kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin %83,1’i kadın ve %66,9’u lisans mezunudur. Yaş ortalaması ise 32,44±6,54’tür. HYÖ toplam puanı 168,4±30,92 bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin yetkinlik düzeyleri ile yaş, meslekte çalışma süresi, yoğun bakımda çalışma süresi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanmazken (p>0,05); cinsiyet, yoğun bakım sertifikasına sahip olma ve eğitim

ABSTRACT

This descriptive-relational study was conducted to examine the relationship between professional competence and job satisfaction levels of nurses working in intensive care units. It was conducted with 124 intensive care nurses working in Karabük Training and Research Hospital between February 01 and April 30, 2022. Data were collected with participant information form, nurse competency scale (NQS) and nurse job satisfaction scale (NJS). Descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, Bonferroni, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni tests, Pearson correlation analysis and Cronbach alpha coefficient were used to analyze the data. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. Among the intensive care nurses who participated in the study, 83.1% were female and 66.9% were undergraduate graduates. The mean age was 32.44±6.54 years. The total score of the HRQoL was 168.4±30.92. While no statistically significant relationship was found between the competency levels of nurses and age, working time in the profession, and working time in intensive care (p>0.05), a positive significant relationship was found between gender, having an intensive care certificate, and educational status (p<0.05). The total score of the HCCS was found to be 98.31±14.89. There was no significant correlation between the NCCS and nurses' age, working time in the profession, working time in intensive care, education and certification status (p>0.05); while a positive correlation was found between gender and the sub-dimension of perceived importance in the workplace of the NCCS (p=0.025). The competence of the intensive care nurses participating in the study was found to be at a very good level and job satisfaction was slightly above average. It was found that there was a positive, weakly significant correlation between the HLQ and the HCCS (r=0.387, p<0.001). In line with the results of this study, it can be said that the concepts of competence and job satisfaction are related to each other and that employees' having sufficient job satisfaction positively affects their skills and performance. It is recommended that nurses should be motivated at work and their professional knowledge should be updated by providing regular in-service trainings.
