Abstract

Background & Aims: The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between teamwork and performance of the medical staff of Shahid Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center in Tehran, Iran. In a health system, teamwork is highly important for increasing the quality of services and the provision of safe and effective care. In addition, teamwork is recognized as an integral part of safe and efficient performance in a hospital. In addition, patient safety and health are considered a critical issue in the health systems of various countries. Therefore, teamwork and communication to prevent and reduce the medical staff’s errors are of utmost importance. The present study was carried out to assess the relationship between the teamwork of nurses and the performance of the medical staff of Shahid Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center in Tehran. Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical research was performed in 2016. The statistical population included all nurses with a BSc, MSc, or higher degree working at medical centers of the university (n=290).

2016年伊朗德黑兰Shahid rajaaei心血管医学研究中心医务人员团队合作与绩效关系研究
背景与目的:本研究旨在评估伊朗德黑兰Shahid rajaaei心血管医学研究中心医务人员的团队合作与绩效之间的关系。在卫生系统中,团队合作对于提高服务质量和提供安全有效的护理非常重要。此外,团队合作被认为是医院安全高效运作的一个组成部分。此外,患者安全和健康被认为是各国卫生系统中的一个关键问题。因此,团队合作和沟通对于预防和减少医务人员的失误至关重要。本研究旨在评估德黑兰Shahid Rajaei心血管医学和研究中心护士团队合作与医务人员绩效之间的关系。材料与方法:本描述性分析研究于2016年进行。统计人群包括所有在该大学医学中心工作的具有学士、硕士或更高学位的护士(n=290)。本研究以相关研究的形式进行,这是一种描述性研究(非实验性),基于研究目标来评估变量之间的关系。采用简单非随机抽样法共选取290人,采用Choharie等人的员工绩效问卷和lunch等人的团队合作问卷收集数据。对本研究采用的研究者型问卷进行效度和信度验证,采用SPSS 16版进行数据分析,采用Pearson相关系数和t检验。结果:在评价两个变量的相关性时,如果两个变量都是相对尺度和距离尺度,则使用Pearson相关系数。如果总体的相关系数为ρ,相关系数为总体r的n个体积的样本,则r可能是随机得到的。为此,我们利用相关系数的显著性检验来确定两个变量是随机的还是独立的。换句话说,问题是:社区的相关系数是否为零。该系数估计两个距离或相对变量之间的相关性水平,其值在+1和-1之间。正值被解释为两个变量在同一方向上发生了变化。换句话说,一个变量的增加会导致另一个变量的增加。另一方面,r值为负意味着这两个变量的作用方向相反。换句话说,一个变量的值增加会减少另一个变量的值,反之亦然。此外,零值表示两个变量之间没有关系,而正值和负值分别表示完全正相关和完全负相关。在本研究中,工作人员团队合作和绩效成分的均值和标准差分别为3.28±0.69和3.64±0.55。此外,承诺、信任、问责、建设性方法和目的性维度的平均值分别为3.21±0.75、3.18±0.84、3.18±0.80、3.34±0.75和3.54±0.90。Pearson相关系数显示,临床员工的团队合作与员工绩效之间存在直接且显著的关系(0.514<r<0.651;P < 0.05)。结论:根据所进行的分析,团队合作是一个动态的过程,它包括两个或几个专业成员共享共同的治疗目标,必要的健康技能和专业,谁。保健服务管理,伊斯兰阿扎德大学管理系,科学和研究处,伊朗德黑兰。伊斯兰阿扎德大学医学科学与技术学院,伊朗德黑兰科学与研究分部(通讯作者)电话:091211033551电子邮件:j-tabibi@srbiau.ac.ir。伊斯兰阿扎德大学医学科学与技术学院,伊朗德黑兰科学与研究分院[j] .
