Hemşirelerde Kas İskelet Sistemi Rahatsızlıkları, Yorgunluk ve İş Doyumunun İncelenmesi

Year 2025, Volume: 14 Issue: 2, 325 - 333, 30.08.2025

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelerde kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları, yorgunluk ve iş doyumu arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye'de bir üniversite hastanesinde 282 hemşirenin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler 01.12.2021-01.08.2022 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında soru formu, Cornell Kas İskelet Sistemi Bozuklukları İndeksi, Hemşire İş Memnuniyeti Ölçeği ve Bireysel Güç Yorgunluk Ölçeği Kontrol Listesi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yorgunluk ölçeği ile iş doyumu puanları arasında negatif-zayıf ilişki, yorgunluk ile kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı puanları arasında pozitif-zayıf ilişki ve hemşire iş doyumu ile kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı puanları arasında negatif-zayıf ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, hemşirelerin meslekleri nedeniyle kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları yaşadıklarını, yorgunluk düzeylerinin yüksek ve iş doyumlarının ise orta düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir.

The Investigation of Musculoskeletal Disorders, Fatigue and Job Satisfaction of Nurses

Year 2025, Volume: 14 Issue: 2, 325 - 333, 30.08.2025

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue and job satisfaction among nurses. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a university hospital in Turkey with a population of 282 nurses. The data were collected between 12.01.2021 and 08.01.2022. A question form, Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Index, Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale and Checklist Individual Strength Fatigue Scale were used to collect the data. Results: There was a negative-weak relationship between the fatigue scale and job satisfaction scores, a positive-weak relationship between fatigue and musculoskeletal discomfort scores and a negative-weak relationship between nurse job satisfaction and musculoskeletal discomfort scores. Conclusion: These results show that nurses experience musculoskeletal disorders due to their profession, but their fatigue levels are high and their job satisfaction is moderate.
