Abstract

HOW ARE THE ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS OF WORKING NURSES? AN ANALYSIS

Sreejamol M. G.*, Ashly M. and Simson M. K.

ABSTRACT

Assertiveness remains a core component in one’s daily life. It is precisely the ability to express feelings, best interests, and enables one to stand up for one’s rights and express yourself in an explicit, open, and reasonable way without denying the rights of others. Being assertive will also increase the visibility in nursing. Materials and Methods: A Quantitative Research study was carefully conducted to find the assertiveness skill among nurses working in a tertiary care hospital, Kochi. The objectives of the study are to -identify the assertiveness skill among nurses working in tertiary care hospital. Identify the association between the assertiveness skill and the demographic variables. The study was done on a sample of 120 working nurses using a Standardized Rathus Assertiveness Scale to properly assess the assertiveness skill and a structured questionnaire to assess the demographic variables .Random sampling technique used for the proper selection of samples and 120 subjects were selected(computer selection). Results: The study results showed the highest population of nurses seen were somewhat assertive (35%). The considerable proportion of assertive nurses account for only 21.7%. The Very non-assertive respondents account for 5% of the total. 13.3% falls in the specific category of being Probably aggressive. In chi-square test results it is found that there is no association between the demographic variables and the assertiveness skill of nurses (all p- values are>0.05). Hence, the demographic variables do not influence the assertiveness skill of working nurses. Conclusion: In the chosen sample obtained by a random selection of the nursing population, the highest proportion of nurses was found to be under the category of being situationally assertive. There are also a significant number of nurses who were aggressive as well. The visible results also state that the demographic variables of the respondents like age, gender, etc. do not influence the assertiveness skill of nurses (p-value >0.05 in all variables).
