Objectives: This study aims at exploring associations of general self-efficacy (GSE), workplace violence and doctors' work-related attitudes. Material and Methods: In this study a cross-sectional survey design was applied. Questionnaires were administrated to 758 doctors working in 9 hospitals of Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, between June and October 2010. General information on age, gender, and years of working was collected, and the doctors' experience and witnessing workplace violence, job satisfaction, job initiative, occupational stress as well as GSE were measured. General linear regression analysis was performed in association analyses. Results: Both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence were significantly positively correlated with the level of occupational stress but significantly negatively correlated with job satisfaction, job initiative, and GSE. General self-efficacy significantly modified relationships between both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence with occupational stress (β = 0.49 for experiencing violence; β = 0.43 for witnessing violence; p < 0.001) and with job satisfaction (β = -0.35 and -0.34, respectively; p < 0.05). However, it did not modify the relationships between both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence with job initiative (p > 0.05). The levels of occupational stress declined significantly with the increase of GSE, while job satisfaction increased significantly along with its increase. The effects of GSE on occupational stress and job satisfaction weakened as the frequency of violence increased. Conclusions: The findings suggest that GSE can modify effects of workplace violence on health care workers' stress and job satisfaction. Enhancing GSE in combination with stress reduction may lead to facilitating health care workers' recovery from workplace violence, and thereby improving their work-related attitudes.

Wstęp W ostatnich latach nasilają się dyskusje na temat zbyt dużego obciążenia pracą na stanowiskach pielęgniarskich. Żeby odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy wynika to z rzeczywistego przeciążenia pracą w tej grupie zawodowej, czy powszechnie przypisywanej jej frustracji, za cel poniższego opracowania przyjęto analizę czasu pracy na stanowiskach pielęgniarskich w odniesieniu do wymiaru czasu poświęcanego na przerwy w codziennych czynnościach zawodowych. Materiał i metody Materiał badawczy stanowiła dokumentacja pomiarów czasu pracy na wybranych pielęgniarskich stanowiskach pracy. Pomiary wykonano w latach 2007–2012 w ramach zajęć dydaktycznych na kierunku pielęgniarskim na Pomorskim Uniwersytecie Medycznym w Szczecinie. Zostały przeprowadzone w placówkach znajdujących się na terenie 6 polskich województw. Jako metodę pomiarów przyjęto fotografię dnia pracy. Wyniki Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że jedynie 6,5% badanych pielęgniarek przeznacza na przerwy odpowiedni czas w ciągu dnia roboczego, tzn. zgodny z przyjętymi normami. Wnioski Skala problemu świadczy o nadmiernym obciążeniu pracą na stanowiskach pielęgniarskich. W przyszłości może to skutkować spadkiem efektywności wykonywanej pracy i jakości świadczonych usług.

Introduction For the last few years a topic of overwork on nursing posts has given rise to strong discussions. The author has set herself a goal of answering the question if it is a result of real overwork of this particular profession or rather commonly assumed frustration of this professional group. The aim of this paper is to conduct the analysis of working time on chosen nursing positions in relation to measures of time being used as intervals in the course of conducting standard professional activities during one working day. Material and Methods Research material consisted of documentation of work time on chosen nursing workplaces, compiled between 2007–2012 within the framework of a nursing course at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin. As a method of measurement a photograph of a working day has been used. Measurements were performed in institutions located in 6 voivodeships in Poland. Results Results suggest that only 6.5% of total of surveyed representatives of nurse profession spends proper amount of time (meaning: a time set by the applicable standards) on work intervals during a working day. Conclusions The scale of the phenomenon indicates excessive workload for nursing positions, which along with a longer period of time, longer working hours may cause decrease in efficiency of work and cause a drop in quality of provided services.
