Nurses with reduced work ability had a high risk of disability pension, sickness absences, retirement intention, and leave their job and profession early. Nurses frequently suffer from job related stress, occupational fatigue and sleep problems, which can further compromise their work ability.
The aim of this study was to assess perceived work ability and its associated factors among nurses working in the Northwest of Amhara regional state Referral Hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, 2022.
A multicenter, an institutional based, cross-sectional study was conducted among 410 nurses working in five selected Referral hospitals, found in the Northwest of Amhara regional state, Northwest Ethiopia, 2022. The data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire and entered using Epi info version 7.2.5 software, analyzed using SPSS version 25. Summary statistics (median or IQR for continuous data and frequency and percentage for categorical variables) were used. The ordinal logistic regression was used to assess' the presence of association between dependent and independent variables.
The findings of this study revealed that 59.0% of nurses had poor level of work ability, whereas 34.4% and 6.6% of nurses had sub-optimal and optimal level of work ability respectively. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression revealed that being male [AOR = 2.43; 95% CI (1.52, 3.91)], being BSC nurse [AOR = 0.21; 95% CI (0.08, 0.51)], nurses who had poor sleep quality [AOR = 0.34; 95% CI (0.12, 0.98)] and nurses who had chronic disease [AOR = 0.18; 95% CI (0.08, 0.41)] were significantly associated with nurses' level of work ability, p-value < 0.05.
In this study, the prevalence of poor level of work ability among nurses was high. Nurses with a female sex, nurses who had chronic disease, BSC holders and nurses who had poor sleep quality had a poor level of work ability. The federal Minister of health and the study hospitals collaborative with concerned stakeholders to design strategies to enhance work ability among nurses.
工作能力下降的护士有残疾抚恤金、病假、退休意愿、提前离职和提前转业的高风险。护士经常遭受与工作相关的压力、职业疲劳和睡眠问题，这可能进一步影响他们的工作能力。
本研究旨在评估在埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉地区西北州转诊医院工作的护士的工作能力及其相关因素，2022 年。
这是一项多中心、基于机构的横断面研究，于 2022 年在埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉地区西北州的五所选定的转诊医院中进行，共纳入 410 名护士。使用结构化的自我管理问卷收集数据，并使用 Epi info 版本 7.2.5 软件输入数据。使用 SPSS 版本 25 进行分析。使用中位数或 IQR（连续数据）和频率和百分比（分类变量）进行汇总统计。使用有序逻辑回归评估因变量和自变量之间是否存在关联。
这项研究的结果表明，59.0%的护士工作能力较差，而 34.4%和 6.6%的护士工作能力分别为较差和较好。多变量有序逻辑回归显示，男性[比值比（AOR）=2.43；95%置信区间（CI）（1.52，3.91）]、BSC 护士（AOR=0.21；95%CI（0.08，0.51））、睡眠质量差的护士（AOR=0.34；95%CI（0.12，0.98））和患有慢性病的护士（AOR=0.18；95%CI（0.08，0.41））与护士的工作能力显著相关，P 值<0.05。
在这项研究中，护士工作能力差的比例较高。女性、患有慢性病、BSC 持有者和睡眠质量差的护士工作能力较差。联邦卫生部长和研究医院与利益相关者合作，制定增强护士工作能力的战略。
