Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati kvalitetu života i načine suočavanja sa stresom kod medicinskih sestara zaposlenih u bolnici te utvrditi mogućnost predviđanja različitih domena kvalitete života na temelju sociodemografskih karakteristika, samoprocjene stresnosti posla i strategija suočavanja medicinskih sestara. Istraživanje je provedeno na predavanju stručnog usavršavanja medicinskih sestara u jednoj bolnici u Zagrebu. Ukupno je bilo 133 sudionika. Za ispitivanje načina suočavanja sa stresom korištena je skraćena verzija upitnika suočavanja sa stresnim situacijama (The Cope Inventory), a za ispitivanje kvalitete života skraćena verzija upitnika Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (WHOQOL-BREF) koji obuhvaća četiri domene: tjelesno zdravlje, psihičko stanje, društvenu interakciju i okoliš. Rezultati su pokazali da je kvaliteta života medicinskih sestara vrlo dobra u svim domenama. Razina stresnosti posla procijenjena je jako visokom. Pokazalo se da medicinske sestre najčešće koriste strategije suočavanja usmjerene na problem, a najrjeđe izbjegavajuće strategije. Samoprocjena stresnosti posla i stupanj obrazovanja pokazali su se značajnim prediktorima tjelesnog zdravlja i psihičkog stanja u smislu da niža razina stresa i viši stupanj obrazovanja ukazuju na bolju kvalitetu. Izbjegavajuće suočavanje pokazalo se jedinim značajnim prediktorom društvene interakcije u smislu da osobe koje češće koriste takve strategije imaju lošije društvene odnose. Samoprocjena stresnosti posla pokazala se jedinim prediktorom okoliša s tim da viša razina stresa ukazuje na lošiju kvalitetu u toj domeni. Rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu biti korisni u planiranju intervencija i edukacija o učinkovitim strategijama suočavanja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine quality of life and coping strategies among hospital nurses and to identify predictors of different domains of quality of life including sociodemographic data, work-related stress and coping strategies. The study was conducted in a hospital during a continuing professional education lecture for nurses. A total sample consisted of 133 participants. Short version of COPE questionnaire was used to test coping strategies and World Health Organization Quality of Life – Bref Version questionnaire to test quality of life in 4 domains: physical health, psychological health, social interaction and environment. Results showed good quality of life in all domains and high level of work-related stress. Results also revealed that nurses most often used problem focused coping and rarely avoidance coping. Higher level of work-related stress and lower level of education were found to be significant predictors of poor physical and psychological health. Frequent use of avoidance coping was found to be significant predictor of poor social interaction. Higher level of work-related stres was also found to be significant predictor of poor environment domain. Results of this study can be useful for planning stress management interventions and education.
