Özet:

 Abstract Aims: This study was conducted to investigate the perceptions of crab basket syndrome among nurses working in surgical units. Method: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 206 nurses actively working in the surgical units of four hospitals in the Mediterranean region between January 24 2023-June 24 2024. The research data were collected face to face with the Introductory Information Form and Crab Basket Syndrome Scale. Descriptive statistics, Independent Sample Student t test and Kruskal Wallis-H tests were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 36.518.51 years. Of the nurses who participated in the study, 81 were female, 65.7 were married, 43.8 were undergraduated degree, and 28.6 had 1-5 years of professional experience. This study found that the behavioural sub-dimension score of the nurses who were dissatisfied with the institution they worked in and who did not trust the nurse in charge of the service they worked in was higher and more significant than the other groups p0.05. Nurses was found that who were dissatisfied with the communication with their colleagues in the unit and who do not trust their colleagues had higher mean scores in the cognitive, emotional, behavioural sub-dimensions and total score of the crab basket syndrome scale and the difference between the groups was statistically significant p0.05. Nurses found that who did not find the competition in the working environment absolutely correct was higher cognitive sub-dimension score of and the difference between the groups was statistically significant χ²  7.819; p  0.020. Conclusions: It has been observed that nurses working in surgical units experience crab basket syndrome. To reduce the crab basket syndrome in surgical wards, a non-competitive, reliable and supportive working environment that increases nurses trust in the institution, the nurse in charge and their teammates should be provided.

 Amaç: Cerrahi birimlerde çalışan hemşirelerin yengeç sepeti sendromu algılarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak yürütülen araştırma 24 Ocak 2023-24 Haziran 2024 tarihleri Akdeniz bölgesinde yer alan dört hastanenin cerrahi birimlerinde aktif olarak çalışan 206 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Yengeç Sepeti Sendromu Ölçeği ile yüz yüze toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız Örneklem T testi ve Kruskal-Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 36,518,51 olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin 81i kadın, 65,7si evli, 43,8i lisans mezunu ve 28,6sı 1-5 yıl mesleki deneyime sahiptir. Bu çalışmada çalıştığı kurumdan memnun olmayan ve çalıştığı servisin sorumlu hemşiresine güvenmeyen hemşirelerin davranışsal alt boyut puanının diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek ve anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır p0.05. Çalıştığı servisteki arkadaşları ile kuruduğu iletişimden memnun olmayan ve çalışma arkadaşlarına güvenmeyen hemşirelerin bilişsel, duygusal, davranışsal alt boyutları ve Yengeç Sepeti Sendromu ölçeği toplam puanı ortalamalarının daha yüksek oluğu ve gruplar arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır p0.05. Çalışma ortamındaki rekabeti kesinlikle doğru bulmayan hemşirelerin bilişsel alt boyutu puanının daha yüksek olduğu ve gruplar arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur χ²  7.819; p  0.020. Sonuç: Cerrahi birimlerde çalışan hemşirelerin yengeç sepeti sendromu yaşadığı görülmüştür. Cerrahi servislerinde yengeç sepeti sendromunu azaltmak için, hemşirelerin kuruma, sorumlu hemşireye ve ekip arkadaşlarına olan güvenini artıran, rekabetten uzak, güvenilir ve destekleyici bir çalışma ortamı sağlanmalıdır.
