Abstract: (905 Views)
Introduction: By examining factors such as resilience and aggression, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by nurses. This study aims to investigate the impact of shift work on resilience and aggression levels among emergency department nurses at Khatam Zahedan Hospital in 2023.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 70 emergency nurses from Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, a standard resilience questionnaire, and an aggression questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, employing descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests with a significance level of P< 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the study participants was 35.44±7.71 years. The mean resilience score was 62.57±19.15, with men exhibiting significantly higher scores than women. Age, marital status, education level, contract type, overall work hours, night shift hours, and years of experience were significantly associated with resilience scores. The average aggression score was 54.10±14.92, and no significant associations were found with demographic and work-related factors. The observed aggression levels were relatively high. A moderate positive correlation was found between resilience and aggression scores, as determined by Pearson’s correlation test.
Discussion: The results of this study indicated that there is no significant relationship between work shifts and resilience and aggression. It is suggested that a study with a similar topic be conducted with a more comprehensive statistical population (nurses of emergency rooms in provincial hospitals); by evaluating the level of aggression, resilience and factors related to it (especially nurses’ shifts), the necessary measures can be taken to improve the situation.
