An Examination of Healthcare Workers' Perceived Levels of Organizational Depression

Öz

Aim: This study aims to assess the perceived levels of organizational depression among healthcare personnel working at Bitlis Tatvan State Hospital and to examine whether these perceptions vary according to key demographic characteristics.
Methods: This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. A face-to-face survey was administered to 325 healthcare workers. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26, employing descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-Square, and Tukey post hoc tests. The 42-item Organizational Depression Scale developed by Sezer served as the primary measurement instrument.
Results: The findings indicated an average organizational depression perception score of 2.74. No significant differences were observed in relation to gender, age, education level, job title, smoking status, or years of service. However, marital status, job satisfaction, and salary satisfaction were significantly associated with depression perceptions. Married employees reported lower levels of perceived organizational depression than single employees, while those dissatisfied with their salaries reported higher levels.
Conclusion: The study concludes that healthcare workers experience moderate levels of organizational depression. Interventions such as improving work-life balance, revising wage policies, and implementing psychosocial support mechanisms are recommended to mitigate these effects. Healthcare administrators should prioritize mental health strategies to promote employee well-being and service quality.
