Examining the Level of Collaboration Among Nurses Working in Intensive Care Units

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the levels of nurse-nurse collaboration among nurses working in intensive care units. Method: The population of the research consisted of 100 nurses working in intensive care units of Bursa Uludag University Health Application and Research Center between November 2021 and February 2022. The sample of the research consisted of 85 nurses who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using a “Nurse Introduction Form” and the “Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale”. In the analysis of data, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were used. Results: 74.1% of the nurses participating in the study were female. The mean age was 32.14±5.83; the mean duration of employment in the profession was 8.94±6.08 years; the mean duration of employment in the intensive care unit was 7.54±5.83 years. Of the nurses, 40% worked in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit; 91.8% had a bachelor’s degree; 65.9% were married; 82.4% worked in shifts; 48.2% were satisfied with the intensive care unit they worked in; 62.4% stated that they did not want to change the unit they worked in; 80% thought that nurse-nurse collaboration was adopted in the unit they worked. The mean total score of the nurses on the “Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale” was 3.00±0.28. As a result of the statistical analysis, the mean total Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale score of nurses who were satisfied with the intensive care unit they worked in and who did not want to change it was found to be significantly higher compared to other nurses (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was seen that the level of nurse-nurse collaboration among intensive care nurses was high.
