Abstract

This study aims to find out the perceived stress and its effects on satisfaction with life of staff in emergency department in Turkey (112) and its affiliated staff and to determine which demographic characteristics chiefly affect the stress and its effects. This is a cross-sectional study. The population of the study includes health staff working for The Ministry of Health as 112 emergency staff in Samsun and its vicinity in Turkey (n=521). The sample size was found to be 217 at 50% prevalence by 0.05 deviation. The data of the study was collected online from the 1st October to 30th of November in 2020. For the data, three different forms were used: personal information forms, satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and perceived stress scale (PSS). To define demographic characteristics for the evaluation of the data, we used number and percent and to examine the correlations among mean scale scores we conducted correlation and regression analyses. In addition, to figure out the effects between PSS and SWLS with demographic characteristics, t-test and Anova tests were used. The mean scale score for the perceived stress in the study was 28.39±6.567 and the mean score for satisfaction with life was 10.97±3.643. It was found that gender, occupation, chronic diseases and the perceived stress scale were statistically significant (p<.05). The mean scale scores for the perceived stress of women (25.27±5.577), emergency medical technicians (EMTs) (25.28±5.643) and the participants with chronic diseases (26.31±3.810) were higher. Similarly, gender, age, marital status, occupation along with monthly earnings and satisfaction with life were found to be statistically significant (p<.05). The mean scale score for satisfaction with life of men (11.50±3.910), the participants over 31 years of age (11.47±3.999), the married ones (11.11±3.776), the drivers (15.89±7.0619) and the participants that meet their expenses with their earning (12.35±3.887) were higher. From the study findings, it might be concluded that the perceived stress and satisfaction with life are statistically significant and there exists a moderate avoidant correlation between them.
