Abstract

Objective: The burden of work-related stress is an important problem, especially among health workers, and leads to mental and physical consequences when the person is not able to deal with it. The aim of this study was to define the coping strategies for stress among female staff at a university hospital.Material and Methods: The coping strategies inventory was administered to 269 women working at a university hospital in this cross-sectional study. Dependent variables were the subscales of this inventory. Independent variables were age, number of children, the time spent in the profession, education and smoking status of the participants. The relationship between the independent variables and the subscales was analyzed by logistic regression and the significant variables in the model are presented with odds ratios.Results: Seeking social support was the most and submissive the least preferred strategy. Multiple analyses showed that the self-confident strategy was used 1.89 times more commonly by those who had a 0 or 1 children OR=1.89; 95% CI=1.14-3.13 . In contrast, the submissive strategy was used 2.37 times more commonly by those who had two or more children OR=2.37; 95% CI=1.28-4.41 and 2.20 times more commonly by those who did not smoke OR=2.20; 95% CI=1.26-3.85 .Conclusion: The most preferred strategy of seeking social support is an important finding that should be addressed for stress management among health workers. Enhancing the social support mechanisms in a work environment may contribute to reducing the burden of stress among workers

Özet

Amaç: İşyerindeki stresin toplumsal yükü, özellikle sağlık çalışanlarında oldukça yüksektir ve bu durum ruhsal ve fiziksel anlamda önemli sağlık sorunlarının hazırlayıcısı olabilir. Çalışmanın amacı, bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan bir grup kadın personelin stresle başa çıkma yöntemlerini incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma kesitsel tiptedir. Üniversite Hastanesinde çalışan 269 kadına “Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Bu ölçeğin alt ölçekleri bağımlı değişkenler olarak, katılımcıların yaşı, çocuk sayısı, meslekte çalıştığı süre, eğitim durumu ve sigara kullanımı ise bağımsız değişkenler olarak tanımlanmıştır. Stresle başa çıkma tarzları ile ilişkili bağımsız değişkenler lojistik regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Analizde modelde kalan değişkenler tahmini rölatif riskleri ile sunulmuştur.Bulgular: Çalışmamızda sosyal desteğe başvurma yaklaşımı en fazla kullanılan, boyun eğici yaklaşım ise en az kullanılan yaklaşım olarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan çoklu analizlerde kendine güvenli yaklaşımı; çocuk sayısı az olanların 1,89 kat daha fazla kullandığı OR=1,89; %95 CI=1,14-3,13 , boyun eğici yaklaşımı ise; çocuk sayısı daha fazla olanların 2,37 kat OR=2,37; %95 CI=1,28-4,41 ve sigara içmeyenlerin 2,20 kat daha fazla kullandığı OR=2,20; %95 CI=1,26-3,85 saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Sosyal desteğe başvurmanın en fazla kullanılan yöntem olması sağlık çalışanlarının stres yönetiminde ele alınması gereken önemli bir bulgudur. Yöneticilerin çalışma ortamında sosyal destek mekanizmalarını artırması stresin çalışanlar üzerindeki yükünü azaltmada yararlı olabilir
