Abstract: (775 Views)
Background & Aim: The heavy responsibility and risky nature of some occupations, including nursing, due to the consequences of their decisions and performance on people's health, has been the basis for many studies to identify the effective factors related to this job. Meanwhile, due to the high workload, high stress, etc., the emergency nursing profession reveals the importance of such studies more than ever. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between work engagement and specific job resources, such as staffing levels, training opportunities, and support systems, in nurses working in the emergency departments of Tabriz teaching hospitals in 2022.
Material & Methods: This research is a cross-sectional correlation descriptive study conducted on 250 nurses working in the emergency departments of Tabriz hospitals in 2022. The sampling method was a quota. Data was collected using a three-part questionnaire, including the participants' social demographics, a work engagement questionnaire, and a job resources questionnaire. Data was analyzed in SPSS software version 22.0 using descriptive and analytical statistics. A significance level was considered at 0.05.
Results: The results showed that nurses' work engagement (50.28±14.49) and job resources (34.86±11.95) were moderate in nurses. The results also showed a positive and significant statistical relationship between work engagement and job resources in nurses (r = 0.36, p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to findings, nurses' work engagement is directly related to the presence or absence of job resources, so with the increase of job resources, their work engagement will increase. On the other hand, due to the lack of job resources in medical centers, managers and administrators can use the results of this study to take positive measures to improve nurses' work engagement by implementing proper planning and correct training methods.
