A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a dehumanization questionnaire given to 324 nurses in various departments. The study took place at ANONYMIZED, from September to November 2022. The questionnaire analyzed emotions like anger, impatience, and apathy, identified as key dehumanizing factors.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Results indicated that these emotions were prevalent in nurses' perceptions of patients. Interestingly, while Intensive Care nurses often involved families in patient care, leading to higher satisfaction, ward department nurses sometimes viewed patient or family relationships as obstacles. Despite this, 66 % of nurses reported satisfaction with the care provided, while 12 % were indifferent.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The study concludes that the root of dehumanization lies in nurses' inability to feel emotions, the impersonality of care, and the sterility of assistance, leading to self-dehumanization. To combat this, the study suggests strengthening nursing autonomy and education and fostering a positive work environment. The way nurses perceive themselves directly impacts their treatment of patients.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50740,"journal":{"name":"Applied Nursing Research","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 151774"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
