Person-Centred Climate Questionnaire - staff version is an interculturally used tool to evaluate person-centredness in clinical settings. This study aimed to examine the psychometrics of the tool in the Turkish language.MethodsThis was a methodological study involving a sample of 140 nurses. One of the researchers collected data using the Turkish version of the questionnaire-staff version in a private hospital in Istanbul. After performing the language validity steps, the researchers analysed the content validity ratios of the items and the questionnaire's content validity index, and they performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the construct. The internal consistency of the subdimensions and the questionnaire was determined utilising a Cronbach's Alpha test.ResultsThe content validity ratios of the items ranged from 0.84 to 1, and the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.50 to 0.69. The three-factor structure accounted for 70.40% of the total variance. The items' standardised factor loads were between 0.501 and 1.140. The Cronbach's alpha consistency value was 0.90.ConclusionThe staff version of the questionnaire is an adequately valid and reliable instrument in the Turkish language.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Nurses' Views on Change Management in Health Care Settings: a Qualitative Study(Wiley-hindawi, 2022) Cakiroglu, Oya Celebi; Hobek, Goksu Ulutas; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciAim To discover nurses' views on change management processes in health care settings. Background Because 'change' is an inevitable fact of today's health care environments, developing change management competencies at all levels is a must to survive and compete for the organisations and professionals in the health care systems. Methods A descriptive qualitative approach was used. The sample consisted of 18 nurses reached by using snowball sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using the Colaizzi method in the NVivo12 program. Results The results of the study were collected under three main themes: 'general approaches and initial responses to change', 'factors affecting attitudes toward change' and 'strategic mistakes made by managers during the change process'. Conclusion The study showed that nurses show different reactions to change. Their attitudes towards change could be affected positively and negatively by the relevant factors. Nurses thought that managers were making strategic mistakes during the change process. Implications for nursing management Recognizing the approaches of nurses and managers towards change and increasing awareness of the mistakes during the change process may contribute to the achievement of the change processes in health care settings.Article Why Do Nurses Transfer from Private Hospitals to Public Hospitals in Turkiye? A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey Study Considering Working Conditions, Compulsory Citizenship, Presenteeism, and Burnout(Wiley, 2025) Turan, Suzan; Seren, Arzu K. HarmanciThis study investigates the reasons behind the transition of nurses from private hospitals to public hospitals in Turkiye, focusing on working conditions, compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and burnout. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The sample consisted of 224 nurses who previously worked in private hospitals and were employed in public hospitals at the time of data collection. Researchers collected data via a questionnaire incorporating demographic questions and validated scales on compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and burnout. Parametric and nonparametric comparison tests were used to compare participants' experiences in private and public hospitals regarding working conditions. There were statistically significant differences between the groups (p < 0.05). Also, participant nurses' negative organizational behavior experiences scores (compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and work-related burnout) statistically significantly differed (p < 0.05), considering their scores based on private hospital and public hospital experiences. The study concluded that nurses worked longer and took less leave in private hospitals. Participant nurses also reported that they exhibited more compulsory citizenship presenteeism and experienced a higher rate of work-related burnout while working in private hospitals.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Critical Thinking Among Clinical Nurses and Related Factors: a Survey Study in Public Hospitals(Wiley, 2022) Urhan, Eylul; Zuriguel-Perez, Esperanza; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciAims and objectives The study investigated clinical nurses' critical thinking levels in public hospitals and related factors. Background Since health care environments have become more complex, the critical thinking skills of clinical nurses are more important in daily problem-solving and decision-making processes. However, little research was conducted on this topic among clinical nurses. Methods It was a cross-sectional study at five public hospitals between December 2018 and January 2019. The study followed the STROBE guideline. Data were collected from 559 nurses by a survey consisted of a data form and the Turkish version of the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire. Results Nurses' mean critical thinking scores were moderate level. Total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses significantly differed according to education, hospital type, shift work, professional category and role. There was a significant effect on the total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses according to variables. Conclusion This study found that critical thinking levels of nurses' working in clinical settings in public hospitals were moderate level. Hospital type, shift work, professional and educational level and role were significantly associated with clinical nurses' critical thinking levels. Relevance to clinical practice This study provides evidence related to the levels of critical thinking of clinical nurses working in public hospitals. Since the critical thinking scores of the manager nurses, daytime working nurses' and nurses with bachelor's and master's degree education are higher, hospital managers may benefit from the study to implement effective strategies to improve the competence of critical thinking levels of nurses.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Psychometric Properties of the Quality Nursing Care Scale-Turkish Version: a Methodological Study(Bmc, 2022) Karaca, Anita; Kaya, Leyla; Kaya, Gizem; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciAimTo analyze the psychometric properties of the Quality Nursing Care Scale in Turkish Language.

This change has also found its counterpart in management practices, and diversity management approaches have begun to be included in the literature. In the light of the existing national and international literature, the study aimed to examine health professionals’ attitudes towards diversities and the factors affecting their attitudes. Considering the lack of literature in this field, the data compiled in this study are aimed to be useful in practices related to the management of diversities in the field of nursing. The study aims to provide a professional perspective on diversity and awareness of changing management paradigms for the manager nurses. © 2021 SHYD.Article Hemşirelerin Verimlilik Tutumlarının Farklı Vardiyalar İle Bireysel ve Mesleki Özelliklerine Göre Karşılaştırılması(2022) Seren, Arzu Kader Harmancı; Durmaz, SaideAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı vardiyalarda çalışmakta olan hemşirelerin verimlilik tutumlarının farklı vardiyalarda çalışma durumlarına ve diğer bağımsız değişkenlere göre değişip değişmediğini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmaya ABC Üniversitesi Hastanesinde çalışan toplam 176 hemşire dâhil edilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı bilgi formu ile Verimliliğe İlişkin Tutum Ölçeğini içeren veri toplama aracı gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra gece ve gündüz vardiyalarında çalışan hemşirelere ulaştırılmış ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan hemşireler tarafından doldurulmuştur. Doldurulan anketler bilgisayar ortamına aktarıldıktan sonra tanımlayıcı istatistikler (yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma) ile parametrik (bağımsız gruplarda t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi) ve parametrik olmayan (Mann Whitney U Analizi ve Kruskall Wallis) karşılaştırma analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Sabit ve vardiyalı çalışma durumlarına göre Verimliliğe İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği’nin Mesleğe Bağlılık ve Ödüllendirme alt boyutlarında gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Karşılaştırmalı analizlerde, gelir durumu, kurumdan memnuniyet, birimden memnuniyet, kurumda çalışma süresi, birimde çalışma süresi, ücret gibi diğer bağımsız değişkenlere göre de alt grupların verimlilik düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Özgünlük: Hemşirelerin verimlilik tutumları çalıştıkları vardiyaya ve bazı kişisel ve mesleki özelliklerine göre değişkenlik göstermektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 3Psychometrics of Stanford Presenteeism Scale-Short Form in Turkish(Cordus, 2022) Teoman, Ezgi; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciAIM: Presenteeism means that employees feel obliged to go to work even if there is a real problem that they cannot work.The main purpose is to to adapt the "Stanford Presenteeism Scale-Short Form" into Turkish on Nurses. METHOD: This is a methodological study. The study sample included the nurses working at the medical and surgical clinics of two public hospitals in 2017 in Istanbul. A total of 290 nurses participated in the study. Language, content, construct validities, total item correlation analysis, Kaiser Meyer Olkin, Bartlett tests, confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis (EFA), stability, and Cronbach's alpha reliability analyses were tested. RESULTS: The content validity index of the scale was.92. Two items that have correlation values below.40 were removed from the Turkish form. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was.762. The structure of the four-item and single-factor Turkish form was confirmed. CONCLUSION: Stanford Presenteeism Scale-Short Form is a valid and reliable tool for the nurses in Turkey. It is recommended to be used among nurses in different studies. Hospital and nursing care service managers should deal with "presenteeism," since it is becoming a critical health human resource workforce issue. Health care managers may use this tool to evaluate the presenteeism level of their employees.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Developing a Valid and Reliable Perceived Global Future Scale(Wiley, 2022) Bodur, Gonul; Seren, Arzu K.
