Background: Human resources form the basis of health care systems and nurses are a large part of this community; therefore, paying attention to factors affecting the performance of nurses is necessary. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental health dimensions with organizational commitment and work ethics among nurses working in general hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The mental health status among nurses was also investigated.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-correlation study and the study population included nurses from general hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. 242 nurses were selected from Vali-Asr, Imam-Khomeini, Baharlu, Sina, and Amir-Alam hospitals using stratified sampling and responded to self-monitoring questionnaires including GHQ-28, Allen & Meyer's organizational commitment (OCQ), and work ethics (Petty, 1995). Data were analyzed using SPSS-23 software as well as Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA, one sample t-test, and independent t-test.
Results: Dimensions of social impairment(r=-0/19, p<0/01) and depression(r=-0/33, p<0/01) correlated with work ethics. Dimension of hypochondriasis correlated with nurses organizational commitment (r=-0/15, p<0/05). The mean of dimensions of hypochondriasis (7.45±0.28), anxiety and insomnia (6.97±0.27) and social impairment (6.33±0.19) among female nurses was higher than the average.
Conclusion: The dimensions of mental health of nurses are related to their organizational commitment and work ethics. Also, the mental health status among nurses is undesirable. Therefore, it is essential to address the issues of nurses at high levels, such as the Ministry of Health and the Nursing Organization, and low levels such as hospitals nursing management.
