Sažetak
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the characteristics and distribution of stress as a factor that affects communication in healthcare, as well as the significance of length of professional experience in driving the attitude toward the importance of stress on communication. Methods The study included 56 participants employed at the University Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, who were officiated heads of medical nurses/technicians and/ or leading nurses/technicians. Professional experience of all participants was categorized in four groups according to length of professional experience: up to 10 years, 11 – 20, 21 – 30 and more than 30 years. The method of theoretical analysis was used for processing of collected data and the data interpretation. Results The scale on the presence of stress as a factor in attitude toward communication in healthcare among participants indicated the highest rank of the item 1 “It is difficult for me to think about the problems at work during the time after work and during the weekend off from work time”, while the item 14 ‘’I rarely communicate with my colleagues’’ had the lowest rank. The study results indicate that the length of employment was not a statistically significant factor in driving the differences of the impact of stress on communication in healthcare (F-score of 1.019). Conclusion A length of employment or equivalent professional experience (divided according to the total employment duration) did not show statistically significant correlation with the observed differences in attitude toward communications in healthcare
