BACKGROUND: Postcraniotomy individuals should be monitored because of the direct influence on brain function as well as constraints caused by underlying illness. The relationship between demographic and clinical characteristics of postcraniotomy individuals and their readiness for discharge was examined. METHODS: A descriptive correlational study included 150 individuals. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and demographic variables were examined using descriptive statistics, correlation, and stepwise multiple linear regression. RESULTS: The mean postcraniotomy score for the subdimension of knowledge related to readiness for discharge was 5.13 ± 3.04, and mean score for the whole scale was 7.76 ± 1.48. The individuals' age, employment status, presence of a person to provide care at home, poor financial status, and first hospitalization during the lifetime of the patient were statistically significant predictors of their readiness for discharge. This model was statistically significant (F = 25.572, P < .001) and accounted for 57% of the variance in discharge readiness. CONCLUSION: Patients had moderate levels of readiness for discharge and low levels of discharge-related knowledge. The findings point to the importance of individual approach to the discharge planning.
ÖZET Amaç: Hemşirelerin bireysel yenilikçilik davranışlarının ve etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesidir. Gereç Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin doğusunda yer alan bir ilin devlet hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerde Nisan-Haziran 2018 tarihlerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini yoğun bakım kliniklerinde (n: 55) ve dahili/cerrahi kliniklerde (n: 95) çalışan toplam 150 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Araştırma için ölçeğin uyarlamasını yapan yazarlardan, kurumdan ve hemşirelerden izin alınmıştır. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama, bağımsız gruplarda student t testi, Kruskall Wallis ve Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 28,42±6,18, %70'i kadın ve %57,3'ü lisans mezunudur. Hemşirelerin bireysel yenilikçilik toplam ölçek puanı 70,71±9,79 bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin bireysel yenilikçiliklerini etkileyen faktörlere bakıldığında; cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, ekonomik durum, mesleki deneyim, çalışılan klinik, kliniğin iş yoğunluğu, haftalık çalışma saati, mesleki etkinliklere katılma durumu ve yaş gibi değişkenlerin etkilemediği bulunmuştur (p>0,05). Bununla birlikte mesleği sevme durumu ve meslek ile ilgili araştırma faaliyetlerine katılma durumunun bireysel yenilikçiliği etkilediği saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Hemşirelerin genel olarak yenilikçilik puanlarına bakıldığında sorgulayıcı grupta oldukları görülmektedir. Hemşirelerin mesleği sevme ve meslek ile ilgili araştırmalara katılım durumlarının bireysel yenilikçiliği etkilediği saptanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda hemşirelerin araştırmalara ve diğer etkinliklere katılım konusunda motive edilmesi, fırsat verilmesi, yeterli zaman ve kaynak sağlanması önerilmektedir. ABSTRACT Objective: To examine the individual innovation behaviors and influencing factors of nurses. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a state hospital, located in a province in eastern Turkey on nurses working there from April to June 2018. The sample of the study consisted of 150 nurses working in intensive care clinics (n: 55) and medical/surgical clinics (n: 95). Permission was taken from the authors who conducted the adaptation of the scales, institutions and nurses. Data were evaluated by number, percentage, mean, independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson correlation analysis.Results: The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 28.42±6.18, 70% were women and 57.3% were undergraduate. The total scale score of the individual innovation of the nurses was 70.71±9.79. Considering the factors affecting the individual innovation of nurses; gender, marital status, educational status, economic status, occupational experience, the workload of the clinic, weekly working hours, participation in professional activities and age were not affected (p>0.05). However, participation in professional research and love of the profession variables have been found to affect individual innovation (p<0.05).Conclusion: It is observed that nurses are in the "early majority" group when we...
