Abstract
Background: Considering the crucial role of healthy communication and adherence to the ethical principles of workplace, this study aims to investigate the association between workaholism and occupational ethics with the mediating role of work-family conflict among the medical staff members of health centers in Bojnourd County.
Material and Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population of this study included all members of medical staff at Bojnourd medical centers in 2018-2019, among which 200 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, workaholism questionnaire, work-family conflict questionnaire, and the occupational ethics scale. The data were analyzed using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient and path analysis through SPSS19.0 and AMOS21.0.
Results: According to the results of this study, workaholism and work-family conflict have a direct negative effect on occupational ethics; in contrast, workaholism has a direct positive effect on work-family conflict. The results also show that work-family conflict plays a mediating role in the relationship between workaholism and occupational ethics (P <0.001).
Conclusions: In line with other findings, the results verified the mediating role of family-work conflict between workaholism and occupational ethics. The ethical nature of the work performed by medical staff members at medical centers stresses the necessity of paying more attention to occupational, individual, and family damage and conflicts.

Abstract

Background: Some factors, such as burnout and job satisfaction, may affect patient safety culture. This study aimed to examine the association between burnout, job satisfaction and patient safety culture among medical staff of the Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2020.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlative study was conducted on 248 medical staff members of the Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2020. The demographic checklist, the standard hospital survey on patient safety culture (HSOPSO), the Maslach burnout inventory, and the job satisfaction questionnaire were used for data collection. Content validity of the questionnaires was evaluated based on expert judgments. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 78 and 41% for the Maslach burnout questionnaire and the JDI questionnaire, respectively. Besides, the Pearson's correlation coefficient, the independent t-test, and the analysis of variance were used to analyze the data via SPSS software.
Results: This study included 40 (16.1%) males and 208 (83.9%) females with the mean age of 32.04 ± 7.9 years. The mean and SD of the HSOPSO, JID, and frequency of burnout scores were 135.4 ± 10.1, 68.07 ± 13.2, and 53.8 ± 4.5, respectively. This study showed that job burnout has a significantly negative association with patient safety culture (r= -0.53, P < 0.000). In contrast, there was a statistically significant positive association between job satisfaction and patient safety culture (r= 0.643, P < 0.000).
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that both factors of job satisfaction and burnout might play a significant role in patient safety. Thus, top medical managers must provide appropriate conditions for employees to improve patient safety.
