The Effect of Secondary Traumatic Stress Level on Psychological Resilience of Midwives

Öz:
Purpose: Case load in working setting, excessive working hours, encountering with traumatic incidents frequently, concern of being sued might increase the level of stress for midwives and affect their psychological resilience negatively. The present study was conducted to identify the effect of secondary traumatic stress level of midwives on psychological resilience. Methods: The present study was a descriptive one carried out between the dates of June 2019- June 2020. The sample of the study consisted of midwives working in the delivery rooms of all Public Hospitals in Istanbul. The data were collected through face to face interviews with 213 midwives. The data were collected using Infromation Form, Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale and Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults. The statistical analysis of the data were realized by SPSS programme. Results: Every one out of three midwives was identified to meet all the criteria regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It was also identified that those midwives who are single (41.05±12.12), experiencing dissatisfaction in their profession (51.14±14.04), having more working shifts monthly (40.60±12.08) had higher secondary traumatic stress scores (p<0.05). Psychological resilience of those midwives working at clinics with higher numbers of delivery (135.62±10.82) was determined to have higher level of psychological resilience (p<0.05). It was also stated that as the secondary traumatic stress level scores of midwives increased, their psycological resilience scores decreased accordingly. Conclusion: Every one out of three midwives meets the criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Midwives, in the risky group in terms of traumatic stress and psychological resilience, should be followed closely and supported in advance.

Ebelerde İkincil Travmatik Stres Düzeyinin Psikolojik Dayanıklılığa Etkisi

Öz:
Amaç: Çalışma ortamında vaka yükü, yoğun çalışma saatleri, travmatik olaylarla sık karşılaşma, yetersiz yönetim desteği, dava edilme kaygısı gibi nedenler ebelerin stres düzeyini artırabilmekte ve psikolojik dayanıklılığını olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışma ebelerde ikincil travmatik stres düzeyinin psikolojik dayanıklılığa etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Yöntem: Bu araştırma, Haziran 2019- Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’da Kamu Hastanelerinde Doğumhane Kliniği’nde görev yapan ebelerle yürütülen, tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır. Veriler, Genel Bilgi Formu, İkincil Travmatik Stres Ölçeği ve Yetişkinler İçin Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS programında analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Her üç ebeden birinin Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu açısından tüm travma kriterlerini karşıladığı belirlendi. Genç yaş, bekar olmak, ebe olmaktan memnuniyetsizlik, aylık çalışma saati ve nöbet sayısı fazla olan ebelerin ikincil travmatik stres puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Doğum sayısı ve ebe sayısı yüksek olan kliniklerde görev yapan ebelerin psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının da arttığı saptandı (p<0,05). Ebelerin ikincil travmatik stres puanları arttıkça psikolojik dayanıklılık puanlarının azaldığı belirlendi. Sonuç: Her üç ebeden birinin Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu açısından tüm travma kriterlerini karşılıyor olması yüksek bir orandır. Travmatik stres ve psikolojik dayanıklılık açısından riskli grupta yer alan ebeler daha yakından izlenmeli, sorunlar ilerlemeden desteklenmelidir.
