Advance Nursing Practice
P
resent study was conducted in a cross-sectional manner with the aim
of examining the hospital ethical climate perception and malpractice
tendencies of nurses in terms of some variables. At the mentioned hospital,
the number of nurses in the bedside sections of the hospital is 645. Total 275
bedside staff nurses created the sample of the study and those nurses were
selected by using stratified random sampling. The data was collected by using
the nurse information form, The hospital ethical climate survey (HECS) and
malpractice susceptibility scale (MSS). The data were analyzed using IBM
SPSS statistics 21. The average point of HECS of nurses is 81.73 (SD=16.31,
potential range=26-130, minimum=40, maximum=125), average point of MSS
is 228.64 (SD=18.69, potential range=49-245, minimum=97, maximum=245).
Also, 94.9% of the nurses are female (n=261), average age is 36.64 years
(SD=8.33; minimum=22; maximum=63), 65.8% (n=181) of them are married,
55.6% (n=153) of them have children, 65.8% (n=181) of them have bachelor’s
degree, 72.7% (n=200) of them are staff nurse, the average duration of
professional experience is 14.69 years (SD=8.95; minimum=1; maximum=39),
the average duration of experience at unit where they work now is 10.47 years
(SD=8.65; minimum=1; maximum=38), 21.1% (n=58) of them are a member
of National Nurses Association. On the other hand, it was determined that
64.7% (n=178) of the nurses had chosen nursing profession voluntarily, 65.5%
(n=180) of the nurses sometimes think about leaving the nursing profession,
9.8% (n=27) of the nurses had made a mistake that would put patient safety
in jeopardy, 60.7% (n=167) of nurses had testified that another nurse made
a mistake that would put patient safety in jeopardy, 54.9% (n=135) of the
nurses has read the National Patients' Rights Regulation. It was found that
none of these variables which are examined had any effect on malpractice
susceptibility; only the age and duration of experience in the unit showed a
weak relationship with the hospital ethical climate perception.
