Giriş: Araştırma, ebelerde mesleki aidiyetin merhamet yorgunluğu ve yaşam kalitesine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: İlişkisel tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan bu araştırma 01.03.2020 ve 15.07.2021 tarihleri arasında Malatya ilinde bulunan 1. ve 2. Basamak sağlık kurumlarında çalışan 410 ebe ile yürütüldü. Veriler çevrimiçi olarak gönderilen web tabanlı bir anket kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler Kişisel Tanıtım Formu, Ebelik Aidiyet Ölçeği, Merhamet Yorgunluğu Kısa Ölçeği ve Çalışanlar için Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile toplandı.
Bulgular: Araştırmadaki ebelerin yaş ortalaması 33.02, %76.6’ ı lisans mezunu, %62.4’ü evli, %46.8’inin gelir durumunun gidere eşit olduğu, %50.0’ının çocuk sahibi olmadığı, %90.7’sinin ebe olarak aldığı maaşı yeterli bulmadığı, %58.3’ünün iş bulma sorunu yaşamamak için ebelik mesleğini tercih ettiği, %30.7’sinin şuan ASM de çalıştığı, %89.8’nin kurumda idari görevi olmadığı, %48.5’inin vardiya usulü çalıştığı, toplam hizmet süresinin ortalama %9.08 olduğu bulunmuştur. Ebelerin mesleki aidiyet toplam puan ortalaması (75.99 ± 18.94) ile yaşam kalitesi alt boyutu olan tükenmişlik (23.23 ± 5.89) arasında düşük düzeyde negatif yönde, mesleki tatmin (28.91 ± 10.06) ile orta düzeyde pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak önemli ilişki saptandı (p<0.001). Ayrıca ebelerdeki mesleki tatminin ebelik aidiyetini açıklamada % 20 oranında (p˂0.001), tükenmişliğin ise ebelik aidiyetini açıklamada % 8 oranında istatistiksel öneme sahip olduğu belirlendi (p˂0.05)
Sonuç: Bu araştırma, ebeler arasında mesleki aidiyetin artması ile birlikte mesleki yaşam kalitesinin tükenmişlik alt ölçeğinin azaldığını ve mesleki memnuniyetin arttığını bulmuştur. Ebeler arasında mesleki aidiyeti artırmak için tükenmişlik ve mesleki tatmin kavramlarının vurgulanması ve bu konuda kurumsal politikaların izlenmesi önemlidir.

A statistically significant relationship was found between the midwives' professional sense of belonging total mean score (75.99 ± 18.94) and the quality of life sub-dimension burnout (23.23 ± 5.89) at a low level negatively, and a moderately positive relationship with professional satisfaction (28.91 ± 10.06) (p<0.001). In addition, it was determined that professional satisfaction among midwives had a statistical significance of 20% in explaining midwifery affiliation (p˂0.001), while burnout had a statistical significance of 8% in explaining midwifery affiliation (p˂0.05).
Conclusion: This study found that the burnout sub-scale of professional quality of life decreased and professional satisfaction increased with the increase in professional belonging among midwives.
