Research Design: Descriptive correlational research design was utilized in this study Setting of the study: The study was conducted at Hosh Essa Hospital with bed capacity 328 beds affiliated to Ministry of Health and Population. It includes 11 units namely: intensive care unit, neonatal care unit, dialysis unit, operating unit, children department, obstetric department, surgery department, burns department, orthopedic department, emergency department, and internal medicine department. Subjects of the study: All staff nurses (N=194) who are working in the previously mentioned settings with at least one year experience and who were available at the time of data collection, were included in the study classified as follow: Diploma of secondary technical nursing school=36 staff nurses, diploma of technical health institute=118 staff nurses, bachelor of science in nursing=40 staff nurses. Tools of the study Two tools were used for the purpose of this study. Tool (I): Decisional Involvement Scale: This tool was developed by Havens and Vasey (2005)(97), to measure actual and preferred DI of staff nurses and managers on nursing units. It consists of six dimensions with 21 items namely: unit staffing (2 items), quality of professional practice (5 items), professional recruitment (4 items), unit governance and leadership (4 items), quality of support staff practice (3items), and collaboration/liaison activities (3 items). The response was measured on a five point Likert scale ranging from (1): administration/ management only that make decision to (5): staff nurses only that make decision. High mean percent score (66.6-100%) suggests high degree of staff nurses involvement, and a moderate mean percent score (33.4-66.6), low mean percent score (1-33.3%) suggests a low degree of staff nurses involvement, suggests a state of the sharing of decision-making between the administration/management and the staff nurses. Summary 45 Tool (II): Utrecht Work Engagement Scale: This tool was developed by Schaufeli and Bakker (2008)(13) to measure WE which is a unique positive fulfilling and work related state of mind. It contains 17 items divided into three dimensions namely: vigor (6 items), dedication (5 items), and absorption (6 items). For purpose of ease response the scale was adapted from seven-point Likert scale to five point Likert scale ranging from (0) never to (4) always. A score range from (66.6-100%) indicates that staff nurses perceived themselves as having higher WE, middle score range from (33.4-66.6%) indicates staff nurses perceived themselves as moderate engagement in work, and score range from (0- 33.3%) indicates that staff nurses perceived themselves as lower engagement in work. In addition to demographic characteristic of the study subject such as working unit, age, gender, educational level, years of experience and marital status. (II) Methods 1. An official permission was obtained from the identified setting to collect the necessary data the responsible after explanation of the purpose of the study. 2. Tool (I) and tool (II) was translated into Arabic, and tested for its content validity and translation by a panel of five experts in the field of the study at the faculties of nursing. Accordingly, the necessary modifications were done. 3. Tools were tested for their reliability by Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient test. Both tools were reliability 0.863, 0.86. 4. A pilot study for the questionnaires was carried out on (10%) of total sample size (n=20), taken from the outpatient department wouldn’t be included in the study sample; in order to check and ensure the clarity and feasibility of the tool and to identify obstacles and problems that encountered during data collection. Then, any necessary modifications were done. 5. Data Collection Data was collected from the identified subjects by the researcher after meeting with each staff nurses and necessary clarification was done through hand- delivered questionnaire at their working setting. The needed instructions were given before the distribution of questionnaire. The questionnaires were completed in the presence of the researcher to ensure the objectivity of staff nurses’ responses, non-contamination of their opinion, and to check that all items were answered. Answering the questionnaires took about 15-20 minutes. It took a period of slightly more than 2 months from 11/10/2020 to 20/12/2020. Data obtained was analyzed using the appropriate statistical tests. 6. Ethical consideration The research approval was obtained from the ethical committee at the Faculty of Nursing-Damanhour University, prior to the start of the study. An informed written consent was obtained from the study subject after explanation of the aim of the study. Privacy and right to refuse to participate or withdraw from the study was assured during the study. Confidentiality regarding data collected was maintain. Anonymity regarding data collected was maintain. Summary 46 7. Statistical analysis of the data The collected data was coded and entered in a special format to be suitable for computer feeding. Following data entry, checking and verification process were carried out in order to avoid any errors. Data was analyzed using the statistical package for social science SPSS (version 20). The following statistical analysis measures were used: a. Descriptive statistical measures, which included numbers, percentages, and averages (Minimum, Maximum, Arithmetic mean (X), and Standard Deviation (SD). Statistical analysis tests, which included: Chi square (X2), student T test and ANOVA test. The main results of the present study were as follows: As regard to dimension of DI, staff nurses perceived moderate mean percent score of \DI. Collaboration/liaison activities had the highest mean score. On the other hand, they perceived low mean percent score represented in unit staffing. Staff nurses perceived moderate mean percent score of staff nurse’ WE. Dedication had the highest mean score. While, vigor they perceived low mean percent score represented. The result of the present study showed that there was positive significant correlation between DI and WE. There was a statistical significant difference between all staff nurses’ demographic characteristics and their total DI at Hosh Essa Hospital in working unit, gender, years of working experience and marital status. There was a statistical significant difference between staff nurses’ demographic characteristics and their WE at Hosh Essa Hospital in working unit and marital status. In the light of the results of the current study, the following recommendations can be suggested: Hospital managers and nurse managers should: 1- Provide inservice education programs for all nurses to keep them up to date regarding participation in DI and WE. 2- Conduct frequent periodic meetings and discussions with nurses to express their ideas and recommendations. 4- Conduct frequent periodic nurse satisfaction questionnaire about how to improve DI and WE. 5- Nurse managers provide necessary resources for staff nurses to take decisions and give them opportunities to be more in contact with their, getting immediate information related to DI, staff nurses’ awareness with regulations that govern behavior and social support to increase WE. 6-Involve staff nurses in policy and authority related to self scheduling, determination of unit budgetary needs, promotion of certification and development of skills in conflict resolution. Nurses should: 1- Follow organizational policies, rules and regulations regarding DI 2- Communicate openly with their managers in order to discuss obstacles that face them when applying their work and ways for improvement for their DI. Summary 47 3- Attend regular training programs to improve their DI and their WE: communication skills, team building and team work. 4-Share in different committees to increase their DI and their engagement in their organization such as policy making, strategic plan, patient care …etc. Future/ further studies should be conducted: • Determine the relationships between DI and burn out. • Develop strategies to enhance DI. • Determine the relationship between WE among psychological distress of health professionals.
