In Kashan, Iran, a recent study took a deep dive into the comfort levels of nurses working in teaching hospitals. Over 300 nurses were picked randomly for this study. The focus was on understanding what makes nurses feel comfortable or not in their jobs. Researchers used special questionnaires to gather information. The nurses' comfort score averaged around 85. 45 out of 120.
Several factors played a big role in how comfortable nurses felt. These included their interest in nursing, their job position, the shifts they worked, how long they had been in their current job, their overall nursing experience, and their education level. Interestingly, how much they liked nursing made the biggest difference in their comfort levels.
This study shows that nurses in Kashan's teaching hospitals are moderately comfortable. To make things better, it's important to choose students and nurses who genuinely enjoy nursing. Also, hospital managers should pay close attention to what affects nurses' comfort to improve the quality of care.
