| Summary: | Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal the effect of sociodemographic characteristics of nurses and organizational culture on colleague solidarity.
Method: This descriptive study was conducted between December 2016 and December 2017 on 343 nurses who had been working in four hospitals in Istanbul province for at least one year and who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected with a data collection tool consisting of three parts: "Sociodemographic Questionnaire", "Denison Organizational Culture Scale" and "Colleague Solidarity in Nurses Scale". In data analysis, descriptive analyses, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis (backward method) were used.
Results: It was determined that the nurses had a good level of collegial solidarity, and their level of organizational culture was above average. It was determined that there was a moderate and positive relationship between the Denison Organizational Culture total scores of the nurses and the total score of Colleague Solidarity in Nurses, emotional solidarity, academic solidarity and negative thoughts about solidarity sub-dimension scores, and the relationship was statistically highly significant (r= 0.36, p<0.001).In the regression analysis, the variables affecting the total score of collegial solidarity in nurses were as follows: the involvement sub-dimension of Denison Organizational Culture Scale, institution type (p<0.001), working time in the profession and working unit (p<0.05). Four variables explained the change (variance) of the total score of colleague solidarity in nurses by 20%.
Conclusion: Since ensuring collegiality among nurses will positively affect nurse and patient outcomes, it may be useful for nurse managers to adopt organizational culture practices that support collegiality and to develop strategies that support the attitude of collegiality among nurses. |
