Amaç: Bu çalışma, akademik hemşirelerin yengeç zihniyeti hakkındaki algılarını ve deneyimlerini, ayrıca bu zorluklarla nasıl başa çıktıklarını keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik desen kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 10 Nisan - 10 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Örneklem, iki üniversiteden 15 akademisyen hemşireden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılarak derinlemesine görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Nicel verileri analiz etmek için tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Nitel veriler nitel veri inceleme yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 40.20 ± 4.19'dur. İş deneyimleri 16.93 ± 5.67 yıldır. Görüşmeler dört tema ve on alt tema ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bulgular, katılımcıların işyerlerinde rekabet, kıskançlık ve kızgınlık nedeniyle yengeç zihniyetinden muzdarip oldukları için fizyolojik, duygusal ve sosyal sorunlar yaşadıklarını göstermiştir.
Sonuç: Akademik hemşireler arasında yengeç zihniyeti yaygındır. Bu nedenle yetkililer, yöneticilere ve çalışanlara etkili iletişim kurabilecekleri etik bir ortam sağlamak için müdahaleler geliştirmelidir. Akademik hemşireler için yengeç zihniyetinin olduğu bir ortamda çalışmak kişilere psikolojik ve fiziksel olarak zarar verebilir. Uzun süreli yüksek stresli ortamlara maruz kalmak, kronik stres, yorgunluk ve tükenmişliğe yol açarak bağışıklık sistemini zayıflatabilir ve stresle ilişkili hastalıklara duyarlılığı artırabilir. Araştırmalar, kronik stresin üretkenliği azalttığını ve iş tatminini düşürdüğünü vurgulamaktadır. İşyerinde stres yönetimi stratejilerinin uygulanması, bu olumsuz etkileri önleyerek çalışanların iyilik halini, iş verimliliğini ve genel organizasyonel performansı iyileştirebilir.

“Crab Mentality Among Academic Nurses: If I Can’t Do It, You Can’t Do It.”

Aim: This study aims to explore academic nurses’ perceptions and experiences about crab mentality, as well as how they experience and cope with its challenges.
Material and Method: This study adopted a phenomenological design, a qualitative research method. The study was conducted between April 10 and May 10, 2022. The sample consisted of 15 academic nurses from two universities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview form. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis software.
Results: Participants had a mean age of 40.20 ± 4.19 years and an average of 16.93 ± 5.67 years of work experience. The interviews revealed four main themes and ten subthemes. The results showed that participants experienced physiological, emotional, and social problems due to crab mentality in their workplaces, driven by rivalry, jealousy, and resentment.
Conclusion: Crab mentality is prevalent among academic nurses. Therefore, authorities should develop interventions to create an ethical environment where managers and employees can communicate effectively. Working in an environment with crab mentality can harm academic nurses both psychologically and physically. Prolonged exposure to high-stress environments can lead to chronic stress, fatigue, and burnout, which negatively affect physical health by weakening the immune system and increasing vulnerability to stress-related illnesses. Research highlights the link between chronic stress and reduced productivity, as well as decreased job satisfaction. Implementing stress management strategies in the workplace can prevent these adverse effects, improving employee well-being, work efficiency, and overall organizational performance.
