Abstract: (1149 Views)
Background & Aim: Job adaptability, the ability to adapt to work conditions, is crucial in various professions, including nursing. Lack of job adaptability can affect the quality of nursing care, especially in specialized units where nursing care is complex and critical. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between job adaptability and missed nursing care among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 220 ICU nurses working in educational and therapeutic centers in Urmia in 2024. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, Savickas Job Adaptability Inventory, and the Missed Nursing Care Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics in SPSS software.
Results: The mean age of the nurses was 36.52 ± 6.34 years. Most nurses (48.6%) had 1 to 5 years of work experience in the ICU. The mean job adaptability was 86.85 ± 13.08, and the mean missed nursing care was 39.25 ± 10.64, both at moderate levels. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant negative correlation between job adaptability and missed nursing care (P < 0.001, r = -0.426).
Conclusion: The results indicated that job adaptability is negatively correlated with missed nursing care among ICU nurses. In other words, higher job adaptability is associated with fewer missed nursing care instances. Focusing on nurses' job adaptability and implementing interventions to improve it can help reduce missed nursing care.
