Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin vardiya ile
çalışmalarının anksiyete ve arteryel kan
basıncına etkisini irdelemek amacıyla
tanımlayıcı nitelikte yapılmıştır.
Araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye’nin büyük
şehirlerinden birinin il merkezinde bulunan
bir hastanede çalışan ve tabakalı rasgele
örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 167 hemşire
oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak;
“Tanıtıcı Bilgiler Formu”, “Kan Basıncı
Ölçüm Formu” ve “Durumluk-Sürekli
Anksiyete Envanteri” kullanılmıştır.
Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre
hemşirelerin kan basıncını vardiya ile
çalışma etkilemiştir. Sürekli gündüz
vardiyasında çalışan hemşirelerin gündüz
diastolik kan basıncı değerleri gündüz+gece
vardiyalarında çalışanlardan daha yüksek
bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin ‘sürekli
anksiyete’ düzeyi vardiya ile çalışmadan
etkilenmezken, ikinci ‘durumluk anksiyete’
düzeyi sürekli gündüz vardiyasında
çalışanlarda, gündüz+gece vardiyasında
çalışanlara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
Literatüre ters düşen bu bulgular; sürekli
gündüz vardiyası’nda (8 saat) çalışan
hemşirelerin yaş ortalamalarının yüksek
oluşu, gece vardiyası’nda (16 saat) çalışan
hemşirelerin extra ücret almaları ve bu
vardiyada en az 3-4 saat uyumaları ile
açıklanmıştır.
