THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTELLIGENCE LEVEL AND STRESS SITUATIONS OF ALLIED HEALTH WORKERS WORKING IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND AFFECTING FACTORS
Aim: To examine the relationship between stress factors and cultural intelligence in non-doctor health workers.
Materials and Methods: Our aim was to analyze the correlation between Culturel intelligence and anxiety. A 41-question questionnaire was applied, including the demographic data of the participants, their professional knowledge, the Cultural Intelligence Scale validated in Turkish and the Beck Stress Scale validated in Turkish.
Results: 58 non-physician people working in the emergency department were included in the study. The relationship between stress criteria (PSS) and Cultural Intelligence criteria (CQ) was compared by linear regression analysis. No correlation was found with gender, occupation, education and emergency service education. In the correlation analysis between CQ and age, working time and working time in the emergency room, a positive correlation was found between working time in the emergency room and CQ (r=0.28, p=0.028).
Conclusion: Non-physician healthcare professionals to be aware of the concepts of cultural intelligence and cultural sensitivity and to know the effect of this on stress.
