Introduction: The effect of psychosocial work environment on personal and organizational aspects of employees is well-known; and paying no attention to these factors can cause physical and mental diseases and negative attitude to professional activities and reduction of efficacy in the professional activities of nurses. The aim of this study was to evaluate psychosocial factors at work environment and compare them in two groups of children and adults wards’ nurses in the selected Isfahan city hospitals at 2016.
Methods: This was a descriptive-comparative study. Subjects were 210 nurses’ adult and pediatric wards of selected hospitals in Isfahan. In this study, sampling was done by multistage random method. The instrument used was a demographic questionnaire and the short version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ).
Results: Findings showed that the mean score of job satisfaction in adult wards’ nurses was significantly more than children wards’ nurses (P<0/05), and work-family conflict score in them was significantly less than the children wards’ nurses (P<0/o5). There was significant difference between the mean total score of psychosocial factors in the work environment between the two groups (P<0/05). There was no significant relationship variables like age, job experience, gender, marital and employment status with psychosocial factors in work environment (P>0/05).
Conclusion: The present study indicated that psychosocial health in pediatric wards’ nurses is less than the nurses in adult wards. Applying new business ideas, team working nurses, participation in hospital affairs, providing educational opportunities, providing managerial support etc., have important effects on the frequency and severity of burnout dimensions and job dissatisfaction in nurses especially in pediatric nurses. |
