Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the impact of nurses' occupational health and safety cultures on their roles as caregivers.
Methods: The data were collected with “Introductory Information Form”, “Occupational Health and Safety Culture Scale”, and “Nurses' Attitudes towards Caregiver Roles Scale”. Skewness and Kurtosis values were used to evaluate the suitability of the data for normal distribution. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation and Linear regression analysis.
Results: As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there was a high-level of positive correlation between Health and Safety and Nurses' Attitudes towards Caregiver Roles Scale (r=0.755, p<0.01), and also a high-level of positive correlation between the sub-dimensions of scales (r>0.6, p<0.01). And it was determined that 57% of the change in the total score obtained from the OHSCS was explained by the scores obtained from the care behaviors scale (Adjusted R2=0.569).
Conclusion: The level of occupational health and safety culture of nurses affects the attitude towards their caregiver roles. It was concluded that the high occupational health and safety culture in nurses positively affects the attitude towards their caregiver roles.
