Living a calling and its relationship with creating a job and maintaining the patient's dignity from the point of view of nurses working in the emergency department of Tabriz Faculty of Medical Sciences in 1403."

Abstract

Abstract Background and purpose: The emergency department is considered a special situation due to the referral of patients with different conditions, and emergency nurses must be able to do their job in the best way possible in the current stressful conditions and always fight against these stressful conditions in order to save the patient's life. On the one hand, calling and vocation as an inner call to make an effort without limits to preserve the patient's survival and job crafting as a factor for improving and updating nursing performance can be one of the effective factors. On the other hand, maintaining the dignity and status of the patient in emergency departments is considered one of the important factors in maintaining the professional mission of nurses. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between job crafting, calling and vocation and dignity in the emergency departments of hospitals under the supervision of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Method: This research, which is a descriptive-correlational study, was distributed among 172 nurses working in the emergency department of hospitals affiliated with Tabriz Medical Sciences in Tabriz city after calculating the number of questionnaires required to be filled out. The results were entered into the SPSS v.24 software and then, using ANOVA and TuKey tests, demographic information, mean and frequency, differences between variables, and finally the relationship between them were examined. It should be noted that the questionnaires included personal information, a job re-creation questionnaire, a professional mission, and dignity. Results: According to the results, the number of employed women was higher than that of men, singles were higher than married, and most of the employed had a bachelor's degree. The overall mean score from the Living a calling questionnaire was 83.68±16.84, job crafting was 47.33±11.48, and finally the total mean score for the dignity was 99.62±18.82. The ANOVA test showed a significant difference for all three variables among hospitals. The Pearson test showed a significant relationship between these three variables (Pv<0.05).

Conclusion: By examining the results, a significant relationship was showed between all three variables. It seems that, considering this position, more measures can be taken to create appropriate opportunities in the workplace and create a basis for nurses' career development, in order to maintain and enhance nurses' satisfaction, and ultimately improve the quality of services provided to patients.
