Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Misurata Ulusal Kanser Enstitüsü ameliyathanesinde çalışan Libyalı hemşireler arasında işle ilgili stres ve mesleki stres faktörleri sıklık ve şiddet açısından araştırılmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışmanın popülasyonu, Misurata Kanser Enstitüsü ameliyathanesinde çalışan Libyalı Hemşireler grubudur. Araştırmacı, Misurata Kanser Enstitüsü ameliyathane hemşiresi olarak çalışan tüm Libyalı Hemşirelerin katılımcı olarak tanımlandığı amaçlı örnekleme kullanmıştır. Hali hazırda bu kurumda çalışan 14 Libyalı Hemşire bulunmakta olup, anket çalışmasına tümü dahil edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Mesleki stresörlerin en sık görülen alt boyutu “iş yükü” iken, mesleki stresörlerin en şiddetli alt boyutu olarak “diğer hemşirelerle çatışma”, ardından “iş yükü” ve “yetersiz hazırlık” gelmektedir. En sık işaretlenen mesleki stresör maddesi “Hemşirelik bakımı için gerekli ilaç ve ekipman eksikliği” iken, en şiddetli mesleki stresör maddesi ise “yönetici ile çatışma” olup ardından sırasıyla “hastaların ağrılı olarak deneyimledikleri işlemleri yapma” “bir hekim tarafından eleştiri” ve “iyileşmeyen bir hasta durumunda çaresiz hissetmek” gelmektedir.
Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Libyalı hemşirelerin sosyal ve psikolojik açıdan kendilerine daha fazla özen göstermeleri gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu durum için uygun çözüm yollları bulunmalı ve hemşirelerin stres düzeyini iyileştirmek için etkili stres yönetimi programları tasarlanarak onların daha iyi hasta bakım hizmeti sunmaları sağlanmalıdır.
