2024-12-06T00:03:35+03:00

The types of behaviour women in Turkey perceive in their marital union as violence was attempted to be determined by "Women's Violence Perception Scale- WVPS” which was developed in this study. According to the data obtained from this scale, which reveals the perception of domestic violence, the perceptions of violence of the study group and their sensitivity to violence were found to be very high. With convenience sampling, 510 participants were reached through social media accounts of various women's organizations. On the other hand, as a result of the reliability calculation of the scale, the alpha value was found to be 0.98. It is seen that WVPS explains a very high rate of 83.91% of total variance. As a result of the factor analysis, it was revealed that the scale consists of 5 dimensions: physical, sexual, psychological, verbal and economic violence. By applying the Confirmatory Factor to the scale, the five-dimensional structure obtained by exploratory factor analysis was tested. In addition to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis results, the fit indices obtained with the Exploratory Factor Analysis results were at the desired levels. With this study, it was revealed that the Women's Violence Perception Scale was reliable and valid.

This study aims to analyze how psychological safety and group commitment affect the relationship between clinical leadership and organizational resilience in the context of physicians and nurses. This study has a descriptive, correlation-seeking quantitative research design that does not examine the relationships between basic variables and the differences between specific groups in the hospital context. The research sample consists of 200 physicians and nurses working in a public hospital. In the study, data were collected using a questionnaire form consisting of five sections: Personal Information Form, Clinical Leadership Scale, Psychological Safety Scale, Group Cohesiveness Scale and Organizational Resilience Scale. The data obtained with the survey technique were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 package program. Descriptive statistical methods were used in the analysis of the data. Ethics committee and institutional permission were obtained to conduct the study. The participation rates of physicians and nurses in leadership and management training are low. Women have higher scores in organizational resilience. Physicians' perception of psychological safety is higher than that of nurses. Married participants have higher organizational resilience and group cohesion scores. Clinical leadership has significant differences according to age, education level and work experience. Long working hours and night shifts negatively affect psychological safety and group cohesion. Participants without management training have higher scores. There are positive interactions between organizational resilience, psychological safety and group cohesion. The relationship between clinical leadership and these variables is more limited. The research results indicate the need to develop an understanding of the organizational dynamics of hospitals while providing strategies for improving leadership and management in healthcare services to overcome current and future challenges, and to promote resilience and effective collaboration.
