Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the
assertiveness of nursing staff members in their everyday practice. The
secondary goal was to investigate whether assertiveness is related to sex, age,
years of working experience, education and self-esteem. Nursing staff
members are expected to have a high level of assertiveness to establish optimal
professional communication and working performance. A cross-sectional study design and convenience sampling were
applied. Altogether, 303 nursing staff members (88.8% female and 11.2% male;
aged between 21 and 58 years) from the northeastern part of Slovenia were
enrolled in the study. The participants were asked to complete an anonymous
questionnaire, which consisted of the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule and the
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The sample included 44.6% registered nurses and
55.4% nursing assistants with mean = 15.9 (SD 10.1) years of working
experience. In general, the level of assertiveness by Rathus scale was low at
mean = +4.0 (SD 17.2) points.
