INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FREQUENCY OF EXPOSURE TO MOBBING AND DEMOGRAPHICAL FEATURES OF MIDWIVES AND NURSES WORKING IN HOSPITALS
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to find out whether there is a significant difference between the frequencies with which the midwives and nurses working in hospitals are exposed to mobbing depending on various variables. The sample of the study comprised 270 midwives (n=76) and nurses (n=194) working in a University Hospital. In the study, the “Scale for Determining the Mobbing Behaviors” in the form of a Likert scale was used. In order to determine the reliability of the scale, its Cronbach Alpha value was calculated. The internal consistency value was found to be 94.22. It was determined that the scores concerning the scale for the level of mobbing differed depending on whether the person is a midwife or a nurse (p<.05). It was determined that the scores obtained in the scale for the level of mobbing did not differ depending on the age and total period of employment of the midwives and nurses (p>.05). It was found out that the level the midwives were subjected to mobbing was higher than that the nurses were subjected to. In analyzing this data, the frequency distribution, t-test and ANOVA analyses were performed.
