Background & Aim: Work adjustment plays a crucial role in planning programs and organizational structures. This study aimed to determine the mean work adjustment score among operating room nurses at selected hospitals affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2023.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive study utilized a cross-sectional correlation design. A simple random sampling method was applied to select 156 operating room nurses from various Medical Science Hospitals in Isfahan. Data collection was conducted using written questionnaires to gather information on demographics and work adjustment, following the frameworks developed by Davis and Lafquist. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 19.0, utilizing two-sided independent t-tests, ANOVA, the Mann-Whitney test, and the Pearson chi-square test.
Results: The mean work adjustment score was 109.41 (out of a maximum of 180 possible scores), which indicates moderate work adjustment. A statistically significant difference was found between the scales of the value of achievement and the value of comfort in terms of gender, while no significant relationship was found between work adjustment and its subscales in terms of gender. There is a significant relationship between the value of autonomy and hospitals (P=0.029).
Conclusion: Organizations should take appropriate steps to implement necessary measures, considering factors such as achievement value, status value, adjustment style, and safety value. Further studies are needed to enhance the job adaptability of hospital staff.
