ارتباط مواجهه با عوامل درون سازمانی سوختگی و مشخصه های شغلی کارکنان پرستاری: تست نظریه زمینه ای میان دامنه

Background: job stress is associated with many factors and different hypotheses have been proposed respectively. However, empirical evidence is needed to support these assumptions to guide nursing practice. Aim: To test the hypothesis derived from a related grounded theory study in order to determine the relationship between frequency and intensity of nurses confrontation with intra-organizational factors of burn centers and their job characteristics. Method: It was a cross-sectional and correlational study. Nurses working in Shahid Mottahari Burn Center (N=98) were recruited by census during 2010. Data were collected by intra-organizational questionnaire and job characteristics form, derived from the previous grounded theory study of the researcher and analyzed with SPSS-PC version 14 using Pearson correlation, ANOVA, Spearman, and Stepwise Regression tests. Auxiliary tests such as Tukey and Scheffe were used for some significant relationships. Results: The majority of sample (%56.1) was nurses and worked in wards (%69.4). Most of them (%51) were working in either evening or night shifts and the duration of their contact with patients (%63.3) was too long. ANOVA test identified that just job category was related to the frequency (F= 7.61, P= 0.001) and intensity (F= 7.35, P= 0.001) of nurses confrontation with intra-organizational factors. Finally, Scheffe test revealed that the difference was only significant for nurse assistants. Conclusion: The frequency and intensity of confronting with intra-organizational factors was only related to the job category, though other job characteristics made some changes in this variable, but they had no significant role. Accordingly the researcher s previous conceptualizations were modified.
