Aim To determine whether there is a relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviours and job stress among nurses working at public hospitals. Background Nurses may face strong pressure from their managers or peers to perform role behaviours beyond what is found in their job definition. When mandated, these extra duties are called compulsory citizenship behaviours. Method This descriptive study included 569 nurses who work in three hospitals. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical analyses, linearity test, Pearson's correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis and parametric and nonparametric tests. Results There was a significant, strong and positive relationship between the nurses' job stress and compulsory citizenship behaviours. Statistically significant differences were found between the nurses’ job stress scores according to the institution and unit they worked in and their professional experience duration. Conclusion This study found that nurses display compulsory citizenship behaviours and experience job stress at a high level. A significant relationship was found between these two variables. Implications for Nursing Management Special training programmes should be held informing managers and nurses about the negative outcomes of compulsory citizenship behaviours and positive outcomes of organisational citizenship behaviours. Appropriate opportunities and resources should be provided to cope with stress in hospital settings.
Aim:The purpose of this study is to adapt the English version of the Handover Evaluation Scale to a Turkish nursing sample.Methods: This is a methodological and cross-sectional study. This study was conducted with 192 nurses working in different units in a public hospital between September 2016 and January 2017. A descriptive information form and the Handover Evaluation Scale were used to collect data. First, language validity and content validity were determined regarding the adaptation of the scale. Results:As a result of the adaptation process, it was determined that the scale's structure, which consisted of 10 items and two factors explaining 68.96% of the total variance, was valid and reliable for the Turkish nursing sample. A Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett's test of sphericity indicated that the sample met the criteria required for factor analysis. The reliability coefficient for the overall scale was 0.92. The testretest reliability results were 0.87 for the overall intraclass correlation coefficient, and the t-test result was P > .05. Conclusion:This adaptation study revealed that the scale is a valid and reliable tool for evaluation of the handover of Turkish nurses. SUMMARY STATEMENTWhat is already known about this topic?• Nurses transfer patient information to other colleagues and healthcare professionals in various ways.• It is important for nurses to complete the handover process effectively, adequately and safely in terms of patient safety.• Handover is a key component for sustaining daily basic clinical practices and a valid measurement tool is required to evaluate the process.What this paper adds?• The revised structure, developed in the present study comprised of two subscales with 10 items, was found to be valid and reliable for the Turkish nursing population.The implications of this paper:• The scale offers a valid and reliable means to evaluate the handover process of Turkish nurses.
