Despite the prominent role of midwives in improving the health of women and families, limited studies have been conducted in the occupational and organizational field and their role on the performance of this group. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between organizational health, burnout, and job stress among midwives working in hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences.
The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, which was conducted with available sampling method on 159 midwives working in hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Data collection tools were: Demographic Questionnaire, Modified Hoy and Feldman Organizational Health Questionnaire, Job Stress Questionnaire, Maslach Questionnaire to measure job burnout. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed with descriptive and analytical statistical tests (Pearson).
The findings of the study showed that 70.4% of the participants had moderate to severe job stress and 70.4% of the participants had moderate level of organizational health and 79.9% suffered from job burnout. The results of structural equations showed that organizational health has an inverse and significant relationship with job stress ( < 0.001, β = -0.45) and job burnout ( = 0.002, β = -0.33).
Organizational health has an inverse and significant relationship with job stress and job burnout. The findings of this study can be useful in planning and organizational policies for midwifery professionals. It also conveys the importance of extensive studies and planning to reduce stress and burnout and then improve organizational health. As a result, it can improve the performance and productivity, and as a result, improve the health of midwives and patients under their care and, consequently, the health of the society.
尽管助产士在改善妇女和家庭健康方面发挥着重要作用,但在职业和组织领域以及她们对该群体绩效的影响方面所开展的研究有限。本研究的目的是调查在设拉子医科大学附属医院工作的助产士的组织健康、职业倦怠和工作压力之间的关系。
本研究是一项横断面描述性分析研究,于2020年采用便利抽样法对设拉子医科大学附属医院的159名助产士进行了研究。数据收集工具包括:人口统计学问卷、改良的霍伊和费尔德曼组织健康问卷、工作压力问卷、用于测量职业倦怠的马氏问卷。最后,使用描述性和分析性统计检验(皮尔逊检验)对所得数据进行分析。
研究结果表明,70.4%的参与者有中度至重度工作压力,70.4%的参与者组织健康水平中等,79.9%的参与者存在职业倦怠。结构方程结果显示,组织健康与工作压力(<0.001,β = -0.45)和职业倦怠( = 0.002,β = -0.33)呈负向且显著的关系。
组织健康与工作压力和职业倦怠呈负向且显著的关系。本研究结果可有助于为助产专业人员制定规划和组织政策。它还传达了进行广泛研究和规划以减轻压力和职业倦怠进而改善组织健康的重要性。因此,它可以提高绩效和生产力,进而改善助产士及其护理患者的健康,从而改善社会健康。
