L. (2019). The effect of perceived organisational justice on job satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses. Journal of Renal Care XX(XX),1-9. S U M M A R YBackground: Organisational justice influences job satisfaction, the performance of individuals and the functioning of institutions.The lack of evidence-based studies investigating the relationship between hemodialysis nurses' perceptions of organisational justice, job satisfaction and burnout has created a research gap in this area. Objective:To investigate the effect of perceived organisational justice on professional satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses and to identify any relation ship with individual and organisational factors. Material and Methods:The study was designed as a multi-centre descriptive study. The data were collected using the 'personal information form', the Organisational Justice Scale', the 'Maslach Burnout Inventory' and the 'Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire'. Results:The distributive justice scores decreased as the depersonalisation scores of the nurses increased. As the personal accomplishment scores of the nurses increased, the interactional justice scores also increased. It was observed that the job satisfaction scores increased as the sub-dimensional scores of the organisational justice scale increased and exhaustion decreased. Conclusion:It was detected that there was a significant relationship between the organisational justice perception of nurses and their job satisfaction and level of burnout. Institutions are encouraged to adopt a fair policy towards nurses and promote personal development.

Background Holistic nursing care requires taking into consideration the spiritual and emotional dimensions of the patient. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the relationships among loneliness, death perception, and spiritual well-being in adult oncology patients. Methods This cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study was conducted between March 20, 2018, and September 20, 2018. A total of 347 oncology inpatients participated in this study. Data were collected using the UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS), the Personal Meanings of Death Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp). Results A significant negative relationship was found between UCLA-LS total scores and FACIT-Sp total scores (r = −0.217, P < .01). Positive significant relationships between FACIT-Sp total scores and the Afterlife (r = 0.425, P < .01), Motivation/Legacy (r = 0.468, P < .01), and Extinction (r = 0.337, P < .01) subdimension scores of the Personal Meanings of Death Scale were also found. Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-being Scale total scores were affected by age (B = −0.158), having graduated from a university (B = −7.859), living in the city center (B = −5.607), current diagnosis (B = −0.416), surgical treatment (B = −5.291), and receiving chemotherapy (B = 5.304). The UCLA-LS scores were unrelated to the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients (P > .05). Conclusion Oncology patients experience moderate levels of loneliness, which decrease as their spiritual well-being levels increase. Patients with higher levels of spiritual well-being were found to attribute more positive meanings to death. Implications for Practice Spiritual well-being, loneliness, and death perception should be periodically evaluated in oncology patients, and appropriate nursing interventions should be planned.

This is a descriptive study that aims to determine the factors affecting the professional behaviour of nursing students in clinical applications. The survey was conducted between 20 September and 20 December 2017 with the participation of 274 students studying in the Nursing Department of Health Sciences Faculty of a University. The data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 18 questions and Nursing Students Professional Behaviours Scale (NSPBS). The mean age of the nursing students participated in the study was 20.67 ± 1.88 years and 81.8% of the students were female while 18.2% were male. Of them, 78.5% loved their profession, 60.9% chose their profession willingly, 67.5% did not want to change their profession and 9.5% of them were members of professional associations and followed professional publications. The mean score of NSPBS was determined to be 122 (29–135). Hence, the nursing students’ ability to perform professional behaviours was found to be high.Keywords: Nursing, student, professional behaviour.

The aim is to determine the effect of nurses’ emphatic tendency levels on their conflict resolution skills. The research was carried out with the participation of 228 nurses. The data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 25 questions, Emphatic Tendency Scale and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II. Percentage calculation, one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U test are used for evaluating the data. A statistical relationship has been found between some of the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of the nurses and their average score in quality of working life scale and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory (p < 0.05). In this study, a positive, moderate relationship has been found between Emphatic Tendency Scale and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory, dimension of Integration (p < 0.001). It is determined that Emphatic Tendency Scale score has a direct proportion to Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II, dimension of Integration.Keywords: Nurse, quality of working life, professional attitudes in nursing.
