Amaç: Hemşirelerin iş yükü algılarının ve tıbbi hataya olan eğilimlerinin belirlenmesi, hataların öngörülebilmesini ve gerekli yaklaşımların geliştirilmesini sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışma, cerrahi hemşirelerinin iş yükü algıları ile tıbbı hataya eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışmaya, Türkiye’nin iki farklı bölgesinde yer alan iki devlet hastanesindeki 139 cerrahi hemşiresi dahil edilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanımlayıcı Form, Bireysel İş Yükü Algısı Ölçeği, Tıbbi Hataya Eğilim Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 23 kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağlımı Shapiro-Wilk testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sayı, yüzde, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis ve Spearman Correlation analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalamaları 34.78±7.79 olup, %62.6’sı meslek hayatları boyunca tıbbi hata ile karşılaşmıştır. Çalışmamızda, hemşirelerin tıbbi hataya eğilimleri düşük (232.81±17.95), bireysel iş yükü algıları (100.30±12.79) olumlu olarak belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin bireysel iş yükü algılarının, tıbbi hataya eğilime yol açan tüm boyutlarla ilişkili olduğu saptanmış olup (p<0.05), özellikle meslektaş ve birim desteği boyutlarının, tıbbi hataları önlemede etkili olabileceği ortaya konmuştur. Yönetici pozisyonunda olan bireylerin de tıbbi hataya eğilimi azaltma yönünde etkilerinin olacağı saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin iş memnuniyeti ve bulundukları birim/pozisyonda kalma niyetleri azaldıkça tıbbi hataya olan eğilim artmaktadır. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin çoğunluğu tıbbi hata ile karşılaşmışlardır. Hemşirelerin bireysel iş yükü algıları ile tıbbi hataya eğilimleri arasında çok boyutlu bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Sistem kaynaklı problemlerin çözülmesi, çalışma koşullarının iyileştirilmesi, hemşirelerin görevleri dışında işleri yapmalarının önlenmesinin iş yükü algıları ile birlikte tıbbi hataya olan eğilimlerini de azaltabilir.
Aim: Determining nurses' perceptions of workload and their tendency towards medical errors will ensure that errors can be predicted, and necessary approaches are developed. The aim of this study was to determine of the relationship between workload perceptions and medical error tendencies of surgical nurses. Methods: A Descriptive study, located in two different regions of Turkey's two government hospitals were included in the 139 surgical nurses. Descriptive Form, Individual Workload Perception Scale and Medical Error Tendency Scale were used to collect data. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 23 was used to analyze the data. Normal distribution of the data was evaluated by Shapiro-Wilk test. Number, percentage, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman Correlation analysis were used. Results: Mean age of the nurses who participated in this study was 34.78±7.79 and 62.6% experienced medical errors during their professional lives. In our study, nurses' tendency to medical error was low (232.81±17.95), and individual workload perceptions were found to be positive(100.30±12.79). It was found that nurses' perceptions of individual workload were related to all dimensions leading to medical error(p<0.05), and it was found that especially the dimensions of colleague and unit support could be effective in preventing medical errors. It has been determined that individuals in the managerial position will also influence reducing the tendency to medical errors. As the job satisfaction of nurses and their intention to stay in their unit/position decreases, the tendency towards medical error increases. Conclusion: Most nurses have encountered medical errors. It has been found that there is a multidimensional relationship between nurses' individual workload perceptions and their tendency towards medical errors. Solving system-based problems, improving working conditions and preventing nurses from performing tasks outside of their duties may decrease their workload perceptions as well as their tendency to medical errors.
