Although nurses and physicians are known to share the common goal of improving the quality of health care, there has traditionally been a relational gap between them. The aim of the present study was to investigate the attitude of Iranian nurses about physician-nurse collaboration and its relationship with their job satisfaction. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 232 nurses were recruited from three educational hospitals of Zanjan University of medical sciences. Three questionnaires were used in this study; (a) Demographic data questionnaire, (2) Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC), and (3) Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. In this study, the mean age of the participants was 33.22(SD= 6.13) years, 83.8% of nurses were female, 90.8% had a baccalaureate degree in nursing, and 82.5 % had rotational work shifts. The mean score of physician-nurse collaboration was found to be 48.07 (SD= 8.95) (ranged from 15 to 60), and the mean score of job satisfaction scale was 57.78 (SD = 14.67) (ranged from 20 to 100). There was a significant positive correlation between the attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration and job satisfaction among the nurses (r=0.59, P≤0.001). The results indicated that the collaboration between nurses and physicians increases the job satisfaction of nurses working in clinical settings. Therefore, nurses and physicians should develop a new culture of collaboration with each other with the mutual goal of high quality patient care. Moreover, health care administrators should implement the strategies that strengthen the development of physician-nurse collaboration.
尽管护士和医生都有提高医疗保健质量的共同目标,但传统上他们之间存在关系隔阂。本研究的目的是调查伊朗护士对医护协作的态度及其与工作满意度的关系。在这项横断面研究中,从赞詹医科大学的三所教学医院招募了总共232名护士。本研究使用了三份问卷:(a) 人口统计学数据问卷,(2) 杰斐逊医护协作态度量表 (JSAPNC),以及 (3) 明尼苏达满意度问卷。在本研究中,参与者的平均年龄为33.22(标准差 = 6.13) 岁,83.8% 的护士为女性,90.8% 拥有护理学学士学位,82.5% 有轮班工作。医护协作的平均得分是48.07(标准差 = 8.95)(范围为15至60),工作满意度量表的平均得分是57.78(标准差 = 14.67)(范围为20至100)。护士对医护协作的态度与工作满意度之间存在显著正相关 (r = 0.59,P≤0.001)。结果表明,护士和医生之间的协作提高了临床环境中护士的工作满意度。因此,护士和医生应以高质量患者护理为共同目标,相互发展一种新的协作文化。此外,医疗保健管理人员应实施加强医护协作发展的策略。
