Abstract

Purpose: The workload in the operating room is high, requiring teamwork, communication, and expertise, and emotional burnout is frequently seen in nurses when organizational trust is weak. The aim in this study was to examine the relationship between organizational trust and burnout levels in operating room nurses.
Materials and Methods: In this study, conducted in accordance with the STROBE guidelines, a cross-sectional design was used and operating room nurses from a City Training and Research Hospital between May 1 and July 1, 2022 were included. The sample size, determined via G*Power, was 82. Data were collected electronically using a personal information form, the Organizational Trust Scale, and the Work-Related Emotional Burnout Scale, and analyzed with statistical software.
Results: The perception of organizational trust among the operating room nurses was high (26 ± 85). According to the subdimensions of the Organizational Trust Perception Scale, they had the most trust in their colleagues (11 ± 35) and the least trust in the institution and the manager (5 ± 25). A moderate negative and statistically significant relationship was found between organizational trust perception and emotional burnout level (r = -0.385, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: In this study, organizational trust perceptions were high and emotional burnout was low in operating room nurses. A moderate negative and significant relationship was found between organizational trust perception and emotional burnout level. This result indicates that emotional burnout decreases as organizational trust increases.

Ameliyathane hemşirelerinde örgütsel güven algısının duygusal tükenmişlik düzeyi ile ilişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Ameliyathane, ekip çalışması, iletişim ve uzmanlık gerektiren yüksek iş yüküne sahip bir bölümdür ve örgütsel güvenin zayıf olduğu durumlarda hemşirelerde duygusal tükenmişlik sıklıkla görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, ameliyathane hemşirelerinde örgütsel güven ile tükenmişlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yönem: STROBE kuralları çerçevesinde yürütülen bu çalışmada kesitsel bir tasarım kullanılmış ve 1 Mayıs - 1 Temmuz 2022 tarihleri arasında bir Şehir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'ndeki ameliyathane hemşireleri çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. G-Power yöntemi ile belirlenen örneklem büyüklüğü 82 hemşireden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, kişisel bilgi formu, Örgütsel Güven Ölçeği ve İşe Bağlı Duygusal Tükenmişlik Ölçeği kullanılarak elektronik ortamda toplanmış ve istatistiksel yazılım ile analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ameliyathane hemşirelerinde örgütsel güven algısı yüksek bulundu (26 ± 85). Örgütsel Güven Algısı Ölçeği alt boyutlarından, en çok çalışma arkadaşlarına (11 ± 35), en az kuruma ve yöneticiye güven (5 ± 25) duydukları bulundu. Örgütsel güven algısı ile duygusal tükenmişlik düzeyi arasında orta düzeyde negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulundu (r=-0,385, p=0,001).
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada ameliyathane hemşirelerinde örgütsel güven algılarının yüksek ve duygusal tükenmenin düşük olduğu bulundu. Örgütsel güven algısı ile duygusal tükenmişlik düzeyi arasında orta düzeyde negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Bu sonuç örgütsel güven arttıkça duygusal tükenmenin azaldığı şeklinde yorumlanabilir.
