Hemşirelerde İşe Bağlı Gerginlik Düzeyi ile Tıbbi Hata Eğilimi Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelerde işe bağlı gerginlik ile tıbbi hata eğilimi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İlişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan bu çalışmanın verileri 260 hemşireden elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri Ocak-Mart 2017 tarihleri arasında, Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde yer alan bir ildeki dört devlet hastanesinde toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın uygulanabilmesi için etik kuruldan, araştırmanın gerçekleştirildiği kurumlardan ve araştırmada kullanılan ölçekler için yazarlarından yazılı izin ve hemşirelerden sözel onam alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, İşe Bağlı Gerginlik Ölçeği ve Hemşirelikte Tıbbi Hataya Eğilim Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesi tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve korelasyon analizi ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin işe bağlı gerginliği orta düzeyde, tıbbi hata yapma eğilimlerinin ise düşük olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Hemşirelerin işe bağlı gerginlik düzeyi ile iletişim, düşmelerin önlenmesi, hasta izlemi ve malzeme-cihaz güvenliği, enfeksiyonların önlenmesi ve ilaç ve transfüzyon uygulamalarına ilişkin tıbbi hata eğilimleri arasında negatif, anlamlı ve çok zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda hemşirelerde işe bağlı gerginliğin tıbbi hata eğilimini anlamlı ve negatif olarak etkilediği görülmüştür.

Relationship between Work-Related Strain Level in Nurses and Their Medical Error Tendency

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between work-related strain level and medical error tendency of the nurses. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out in relational screening model. The data was obtained from 260 nurses. The study data were collected from four state hospitals in a province located in the Western Black Sea region in Turkey between January and March 2017. Approval from the Ethical Committee and institution and verbal consent from the nurses were obtained prior to conducting the study. A descriptive characteristics form, the Work-Related Strain Inventory (WRSI) and the Medical Error Trend Scale in Nursing (MTSN) were used to collect data. The evaluation of the data was done by descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Results: Nurses' work-related strain was found moderate, and their tendency to make medical error was low. A negative, significant, and very weak relationship was found between work-related strain in nurses and medical error tendency related to communication, prevention of falling, patient monitoring and equipment safety, prevention of infections, and medicine and transfusion practices. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it is seen that work-related strain in nurses affected the medical error tendency significantly and negatively.
