Perception of Nurses' Work in Psychiatric Clinic

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the siege and related factors of nurses working in psychiatric clinics. Method: This study was conducted as a related description design. The sample of the study consisted of 204 nurses working in psychiatric clinics. The data was collected using questionnaires generated by researchers from literature and workplace psychological abuse scales. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and chi-square independence test are used to determine whether there is a significant relationship between variables. Results: The conditions for more frequent siege behaviors are that nurses have graduate education, work at night, are dissatisfied with work methods and institutions, have been besieged before, and have an understanding of the number of legal persons and consulting services related to Go. Conclusion: The nursing service management department of the hospital should effectively organize the types of employment and develop strategies that can improve nurse satisfaction. It is believed that raising nurses’ awareness of siege will effectively reduce psychological violence in high-risk wards.
