Journal Title: Nursing And Midwifery Journal - Year 2023, Vol 21, Issue 7
Abstract
Background & Aim: Concerning the determining role of health care professions in patient care and safety and the effects of interaction and collaboration between related professions on improving the quality and quantity of care and improving service to patients, this study was conducted to determine the correlation between moral sensitivity and interprofessional collaboration in 2023. Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional-correlation design. The sampling was done by simple random method and included 150 nurses working in teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences. Inclusion criteria were the ability to speak Persian, mental health, absence of stressful issues in the last six months, and willingness to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria were lack of satisfaction to continue cooperation and failure to complete the questionnaire. Data were collected using nurses' moral sensitivity questionnaire (Lützén et al. 1994) and the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration (Jefferson 2001). Face and content validity methods were used to validate the instruments, and Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation tests. Results: The results showed that 82.67% of nurses had high moral sensitivity, and 81.33% had a lot of interprofessional collaboration. There was also no significant statistical relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity score and interprofessional collaboration (p=0.125). Conclusions: Considering the positive and undeniable effects of moral sensitivity and interprofessional collaboration in nursing care, developing professional training in this field can affect the quality of nursing care, increase patient satisfaction, and reduce medical errors.
