Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted as a relation-seeking study to determine the effect of nurses' professional autonomy levels on their attitudes towards evidence-based nursing. Method: The research was carried out with the participation of 266 nurses out of 450 nurses working in a university hospital between 02.10.2021 and 02.12.2021. The data were collected by using an information form consisting of 25 questions determining the socio-demographic and working life characteristics of nurses, prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and the Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Nursing Scale and Attitudes towards Professional Autonomy for Nurses. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution was evaluated by Shapiro Wilk and Kolmorogov Smirnov. Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test and One-Way Analysis of Variance were used in the analysis of the data. Results: 80.8% of the nurses participating in the study were women, 19.2% were men, 56.4% were married, 60.2% were undergraduates, 79.3% worked in shifts, 78.9% of them willingly preferred their profession, 65% of them love their profession, 28.9% are members of any professional association, 27.8% have attended professional, scientific meetings and congresses in the last year, and It was determined that 64.7 of them had knowledge about evidence-based nursing practices. The mean age of the nurses is 31.2±6.9 years. The mean score of the Nurses' Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Nursing Scale was 62.9 ± 8.9 and the mean score of the Nurses' Attitudes towards Professional Autonomy Scale was 78.3 ± 10.5. In this study, it was determined that there was a moderately significant positive correlation (r=0.406, p<0.01) between the Nurses' Attitudes Towards Professional Autonomy Scale score and the Evidence-Based Attitudes Towards Nursing Attitude Scale score. Conclusion: Study, it was observed that as the Nurses' Attitude Scale towards Professional Autonomy scores increased, the Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Nursing Scale scores also increased.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin profesyonel otonomi düzeylerinin, kanıta dayalı hemşireliğe yönelik tutumları üzerine etkisini belirlemek üzere ilişki arayıcı bir araştırma olarak yürütüldü. Yöntem: Araştırma 02.10.2021-02.12.2021 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışmakta olan 450 hemşireden, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 266 hemşirenin katılımı ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik ve çalışma yaşamına ilişkin özelliklerini belirleyici 25 sorudan oluşan bilgi formu ile Kanıta Dayalı Hemşireliğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve Hemşireler İçin Profesyonel Otonomiye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Shapiro Wilk ve Kolmorogov Smirnov ile değerlendirildi. Verilerin analizinde Kruskal Wallis testi, Mann Whitney U testi ve Tek Yönlü Varyans analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin %80.8’ini kadınların, %19.2’sini erkeklerin oluşturduğu, %56.4’ünün evli, %60.2’sinin lisans mezunu olduğu, %79.3’ünün vardiyalı olarak çalıştığı, %78.9’unun mesleğini isteyerek tercih ettiği, %65’inin mesleğini sevdiği, %28.9’unun herhangi bir mesleki derneğe üye olduğu, %27.8’inin son bir yıl içinde mesleki, bilimsel toplantılara ve kongrelere katıldığı ve %64.7’sinin kanıta dayalı hemşirelik uygulamaları konusunda bilgi sahibi olduğu belirlendi. Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 31.2±6.9’dur. Hemşirelerin Kanıta Dayalı Hemşireliğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalaması 62.9 ± 8.9 ve Hemşireler İçin Profesyonel Otonomiye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalaması 78.3 ± 10.5 olarak saptandı. Bu çalışmada Hemşirelerin Profesyonel Otonomiye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puanı ile Kanıta Dayalı Hemşireliğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puanı arasında pozitif yönlü orta düzey anlamlı bir ilişki (r=0.406, p<0.01) olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmada Hemşirelerin Profesyonel Otonomiye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puanı arttıkça Kanıta Dayalı Hemşireliğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puanının da arttığı görüldü.
