چکیده
زمینه و هدف: بخش اورژانس غالباً با ازدحام و حجم کار بالا همراه است. پرستاران اورژانس معمولاً شرایطی را تجربه میکنند که منجر به معضلات اخلاقی میشود و یکی از نتایج آن، دیسترس اخلاقی میباشد که مهمترین معضل پنهان شغلی در بین پرستاران اورژانس تعریف شده است. این مطالعه با هدف تعیین سطح دیسترس اخلاقی پرستاران بخش اورژانس و عوامل مؤثر بر آن انجام گرفت.
مواد و روشها: این مطالعه مقطعی بر روی 200 پرستار شاغل بخش اورژانس بیمارستانهای سمنان و سبزوار انجام شد. از آنها خواسته شد تا به روش خودگزارشی نسبت به تکمیل پرسشنامههای دیسترس اخلاقی و دموگرافیک اقدام کنند. دادهها با نرمافزار SPSS 22 و آزمونهای آماری تی مستقل و آنالیز واریانس تجزیه تحلیل شدند.
یافتهها: میانگین سنی مشارکتکنندگان 2/7 ± 20/ 32سال بود. نمره کلی دیسترس اخلاقی 10/1± 54/ 61میباشد که در سطح پایینی قرار دارد و نشان از کم بودن دیسترس اخلاقی در بیمارستانهای دولتی شهر سمنان و سبزوار است. کمترین میزان دیسترس اخلاقی مربوط به رضایت شغلی بالا و بیشترین نمره دیسترس اخلاقی مربوط به رابطه نامطلوب پرستاران با پزشکان بود.
نتیجهگیری: با توجه به عوارض منفی ناشی از دیسترس اخلاقی بر کیفیت مراقبتهای پرستاری، لازم است مدیران بیمارستانها، تمهیدات لازم را در راستای شناسایی علائم دیسترس اخلاقی در پرستاران اتخاذ کردند و با انجام مداخلات لازم گام مثبتی در راستای کاهش دیسترس اخلاقی پرستاران و در نتیجه افزایش کیفیت خدمات ارائهشده به بیماران بردارند.

چکیده [English]
Background: The emergency department is often associated with congestion and high workload. Emergency nurses usually experience situations that lead to moral challenges, and one of its consequences is moral distress, defined as the most important hidden job challenge among emergency nurses. This study was conducted with the aim of determining nurses’ level of moral distress and factors affecting it in the accidents and emergency department.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 nurses working in the emergency department of hospitals in Semnan and Sabzevar, Iran. They were asked to complete the moral distress and demographic questionnaires by self-reporting. The data was analyzed with SPSS 22 using independent t-test and analysis of variance.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 32.20 ± 7.2 years. The overall score of moral distress was 54.61 ± 10.1, which shows a low level of moral distress in these public hospitals. The lowest level of moral distress was related to high job satisfaction while the highest score of moral distress was related to unfavorable relationship between nurses and doctors.
Conclusion: Considering the negative effects caused by moral distress on the quality of nursing care, it is necessary for managers of organizations to take necessary measures to identify the symptoms of moral distress in nurses and take a positive step towards reducing it by interventions and, as a result, increase the quality of services provided to patients.
