Abstract

Giriş: Kültürel ve etnik açıdan farklı hastalara etkili bir bakımın sağlanması kültürel yeterliliği gerektirmektedir.
Amaç: Bu çalışmada doğum ve kadın sağlığı kliniklerinde hizmet veren hemşire ve ebelerin kültürel yeterlilik düzeyleri ile iş tatmini düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma kesitsel tipte tasarlandı. Çalışmanın örneklemini doğumhane ve kadın sağlığı kliniklerinde çalışan toplam 92 ebe ve hemşire oluşturdu. Ölçüm araçları olarak ‘Sağlık Profesyonelleri Kültürel Yeterlilik Ölçeği’ ve ‘İş Tatmini Ölçeği’ kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların çoğunun (%48,7) 18 - 30 yaş aralığında olduğu bulundu. %90,2’si hiç yurtdışında bulunmadığını ve %56,5’i yabancı bir dil bilmediğini ifade etti. Katılımcıların Sağlık Profesyonelleri Kültürel Yeterlilik Ölçeği ve İş Tatmini Ölçeği toplam puanları sırasıyla 53,27 ± 12,34 ve 17,84 ± 4,35 olarak bulundu. Sağlık Profesyonelleri Kültürel Yeterlilik Ölçeği ile İş Tatmini Ölçeği değişkeni arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır (p < 0.05).
Sonuç: Doğum ve kadın sağlığı kliniklerinde çalışan ebe ve hemşirelerin kültürel yeterlilik düzeylerinin ölçek puanına oranla ortalamanın altında olduğu, iş tatmini düzeylerinin ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu tespit edildi. Yurtdışında bulunmuş olmanın kültürel yeterliliği artırdığı tespit edildi. Bununla birlikte kültürel yeterlilik ile iş tatmini arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı. Okullarda akademik eğitimlerle, sağlık kurumlarında hizmet içi eğitimlerle kültürel yeterlilik konusunda güncel bir bilinç ve tutum geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

The Relationship Between Cultural Competence Level and Job Satisfaction Level among Professionals Providing Maternity and Women's Health Services

Abstract

Introduction: Providing effective care to culturally and ethnically diverse patients requires cultural competence.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the cultural competence levels and job satisfaction levels of nurses and midwives serving in maternity and women's health clinics.
Method: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study. A total of 92 midwives and nurses working in maternity and women's health clinics constituted the sample of the study. Health Professionals Cultural Competence Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale were used as measurement tools.
Results: Most of the participants (48.7%) were between the ages of 18 - 30 years. 90.2% stated that they had never been abroad and 56.5% did not speak a foreign language. The mean total scores of the Cultural Competence Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale were 53.27 ± 12.34 and 17.84 ± 4.35, respectively. No statistically significant relationship was found between the Health Professionals Cultural Competence Scale and the Job Satisfaction Scale variable (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: It was determined that the cultural competence levels of midwives and nurses working in maternity and women's health clinics were below average compared to the scale score, and their job satisfaction levels were above average. Having worked abroad was found to increase cultural competence. However, no significant relationship was found between cultural competence and job satisfaction. It is recommended to develop a current awareness and attitude about cultural competence through academic trainings in schools and in-service trainings in health institutions
