Özet:

 Objective: This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting colleague solidarity and job satisfaction in midwives working in public hospitals in Türkiye. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between 02.12.2020 and 02.06.2021 by applying an online survey to midwives. Data were collected with a personal information form, Colleague Solidarity Among Nurses Scale, and the Minnesota Satisfaction Scale. The study included 411 midwives. Results: It was found that 56.4 of the midwives participating in the study scored higher than the mean score 100.238.0 on the Colleague Solidarity Among Nurses Scale, suggesting that there was colleague solidarity among them. It was determined that intrinsic satisfaction 3.470.7 and general job satisfaction 3.240.7 of the participants were high, while their extrinsic job satisfaction score 2.900.7 was at a low level. Age and the average number of patients given daily care affected the total colleague solidarity score, while age, marital status, midwifery experience period, reason for choosing the unit, choosing the profession willingly, and workload levels were the factors affecting job satisfaction. Conclusion: It was determined that colleague solidarity among midwives was high and had a significant and positive relationship with job satisfaction, and that emotional solidarity was at the top of the list. Improving the working conditions of midwives, who have an important role in the development of womens and community health, strengthening their relations with managers and colleagues, and developing strategies to increase job satisfaction can increase the quality of midwifery services and the welfare level of public health.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma, Türkiyedeki kamu hastanelerinde çalışan ebelerde meslektaş dayanışması ve iş doyumunu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, 02.12.2020 ile 02.06.2021 tarihleri arasında, ebelere online anket uygulanarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu, Hemşirelerde Meslektaş Dayanışması Ölçeği ve Minnesota İş Doyumu Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya 411 ebe dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan ebelerin 56,4ü Hemşirelerde Meslektaş Dayanışması Ölçeğinden 100,238,0 yüksek puan almıştır ve bu durum aralarında meslektaş dayanışmasının olduğunu göstermektedir. Katılımcıların içsel doyum 3,470,7 ve genel iş doyumunun 3,240,7 yüksek olduğu, dışsal iş doyum puanının 2,900,7 ise düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaş ve günlük bakım verilen ortalama hasta sayısı toplam meslektaş dayanışması puanını etkilerken, yaş, medeni durum, ebelik deneyim süresi, birimi seçme nedeni, mesleği isteyerek seçme ve iş yükü düzeyleri iş doyumunu etkileyen faktörler olmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada ebeler arasında meslektaş dayanışmasının yüksek olduğu ve iş doyumu ile anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişki olduğu, duygusal dayanışmanın ise ilk sırada yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Kadın ve toplum sağlığının gelişmesinde önemli rolü olan ebelerin çalışma koşullarının iyileştirilmesi, yönetici ve meslektaşları ile ilişkilerinin güçlendirilmesi ve iş doyumunun artırılmasına yönelik stratejiler geliştirilmesi, ebelik hizmetlerinin kalitesini ve toplumun refah düzeyini artırabilir.
