Akademisyen Hemşirelerde Bir Kariyer Engeli Olarak Yengeç Sepeti Sendromu Algısı

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma akademisyen hemşirelerin yengeç sepeti sendromu algılarının belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve karşılaştırmalı tasarımda gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, Türkiye’de hemşirelikte lisans eğitimi veren devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde görev yapan 335 akademisyen hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve Yengeç Sepeti Sendromu Ölçeği kullanılarak Mart ve Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında arasında çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır.. Veriler Sosyal Bilimler İstatistik Paketi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Akademisyen hemşirelerin yengeç sepeti sendromu puanları değerlendirildiğinde genel olarak algılarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Akademisyen hemşirelerin 31-35 yaş arasında, kadın, doktoraya devam eden ve evli olan akademisyenlerin diğer akademisyen hemşirelere göre daha yüksek; devlet üniversitelerindeki katılımcıların ortalama puanı özel üniversitelerden önemli ölçüde daha yüksek; dahiliye hemşireliği bölümlerindeki katılımcıların diğer bölümlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. İdari pozisyonu olmayan idari pozisyonu olanlara göre, farklı üniversitelerde akademik pozisyon bulmak isteyen katılımcıların puan ortalaması, istemeyenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Yengeç sepeti sendromu algısının akademisyen hemşirelerde, cinsiyet, çalışılan üniversite türü, çalışılan anabilim dalı, unvan, idari göreve sahip olma, idari görev türü ve başka bir üniversitede çalışma isteğine göre değiştiği görülmüştür. Akademisyen hemşireler hem öğrencileri profesyonel hemşirelere dönüştürmekte hem de kariyerlerinde ilerlemeye çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda sağlıklı, güvenli ve verimli çalışma ortamlarına ihtiyaç duymaktadırlar.
