Aim To examine the relationship between nursing work environment, nurses' perception of decent work, job satisfaction, and physical and mental health. Background According to the psychology of working theory, work‐related and overall well‐being levels of employees with decent work increase as their basic needs are met. Methods This study was conducted as a cross‐sectional, correlational study. The study sample consisted of 311 nurses working in two hospitals in a province of Turkey. The participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The model of the research was analyzed using structural equation modeling. This study was reported using the STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies. Results The four dimensions of the nursing work environment were found to have a significant relationship with decent work. Decent work was found to have a direct relationship with physical and mental health. It had an indirect relationship between three subscales of work environment and physical and mental health, however, decent work had no significant relationship with job satisfaction. Conclusions The findings of this study indicated the role of decent work environment and its relationship with nurses’ physical and mental health. Implications for nursing and health policy Nurse managers, policy makers, and decision‐makers at all levels should improve nursing work environment and working conditions.
In this study, it was aimed to determine nurses' attitude toward medical errors and the influencing factors. This descriptive, cross-sectional and relationship-seeking study was conducted in internal, surgical, intensive care and other (emergency department, operating room, outpatient clinic) units of a university hospital located in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. A total of 421 nurses, including 359 unit nurses and 62 unit charge nurses, participated in the study. The participation rate was 63.78%. The data were collected online between April and June, 2022. 46.6% of the nurses included in the research were aged between 26 and 35, 82.4% were female, and 78.9% were undergraduate graduates. 62.2% were working more than 40 hours per week. While 46.6% of the nurses rated their clinical workload as excessive, 65.6% did not report any incidents. Except for the “Medical Error Perception” subscale, the overall “Medical Error Attitude Scale” scores and other subscale scores obtained by the nurses and charge nurses were found to be at low levels. Nurses who held undergraduate degree were found to have higher score averages in the overall scale score and the causes of medical error subscale compared to those holding a postgraduate degree (p
