HEMŞİRELERDE İŞLE İLGİLİ YAŞAM KALİTESİ ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONUNUN PSİKOMETRİK ÖZELLİKLERİ

Hemşireler yoğun iş yükü ve ağır çalışma koşulları gibi olumsuz işyeri koşulları nedeniyle işyerinde fiziksel ve psikolojik baskıya maruz kalmaktadırlar. Hemşirelerin iş yaşam kalitelerinin düşük olması, düşük performansa, tıbbi hatalara neden olmakta ve istenen sağlık sonuçlarına ulaşmayı engellemektedir. Arzulanan sağlık sonuçlarına ulaşabilmek için hemşirelerin iş yaşam kalitesinin ölçülmesi ve iyileştirilmesi gerekir. Bu çalışma, İşle İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun psikometrik özelliklerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırma Türkiye'nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi'nde bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesindeki (N=226) hemşireler üzerinde yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısını belirlemek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma yaşam kalitesini etkileyen sosyo-demografik değişkenleri belirlemek için regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısı doğrulanmıştır (χ2/sd = 2.370, RMSEA = 0.070). Ölçeğin yüksek düzeyde güvenirliğe sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.944). Sosyo-demografik değişkenlerden yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum ve hastanede çalışma süresi ölçek üzerinde veya en az bir alt boyut üzerinde etkiye sahiptir. İşle İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu hemşirelerin çalışma yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır.

PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE WORK-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE SCALE ON NURSES

Nurses are exposed to physical and psychological pressure in the workplace due to adverse workplace conditions such as heavy workload and working conditions. The low quality of work life of nurses causes poor performance, medical errors and prevents reaching the desired health outcomes. In order to achieve the desired health outcomes, nurses' quality of work life should be measured and improved. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Work-Related Quality of Life scale. The study was conducted with nurses in a training and research hospital in Central Anatolia Region, Turkey (N = 226). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to determine the scale’s factor structure. The regression analysis was performed to determine sociodemographic variables affected the quality of working life. The scale’s factor structure was confirmed (χ2/df = 2.370, RMSEA = 0.070). The scale had a high level of reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.944). Among socio-demographic variables, age, gender, marital status and years of working in the hospital have an effect on the scale or at least one subscale. The Turkish version of the Work-Related Quality of Life scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the nurses’ quality of working life.
