Summary: | Background: The adaptation process for new nursing graduates is challenging, with transition shock and colleague violence impacting both individuals and institutions.
Objective: This study investigates transition shock and colleague violence among newly graduated nurses in Turkey during their adaptation process.
Methods: The study involved 235 newly graduated nurses from a state university in Turkey with at least six months of clinical experience. Data were collected using the Nursing Transition Shock Scale and the Exposure to Colleague Violence Scale.
Results: Among the participants, 27.23% experienced colleague violence and 56.17% witnessed it. The mean score on the Nursing Transition Shock Scale was 53.62 ± 15.39. Female nurses and younger age groups faced more challenges.
Conclusion: Supportive work environments, mentorship programs, and collaborative teamwork are crucial for newly graduated nurses. Updating nursing education programs to prepare students for these challenges is essential. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions. |
