Abstract
Background: One of the vital factors for health system employees, especially nurses, is job commitment, which has its roots in the positive psychology movement.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the Effect of positive thinking skills training on job commitment of nurses working in selected military hospitals in Tabriz.
Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental with pre and post-test design that the statistical population consisted of 50 nurses working in selected hospitals of Aja in Tabriz in 2022. For the intervention group (25 nurses), positive thinking skills training was conducted through group discussion in 8 sessions of 90 minutes of face-to-face training. Demographic characteristics and Blau job commitment questionnaire were used to collect data.
Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of demographic characteristics. The mean job commitment of nurses before the intervention in the intervention group (87.28 ± 17.02) and control group (90.80 ± 15.89) had no statistically significant difference (P=0.45). After the intervention, these values reached 115.12±18.10 in the intervention group and 91.28±15.56 in the control group, it was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). Also, job commitment improved from pre-test to post-test in the intervention group (P<0.001) but was not significant in the control group (P=0.24).
Implications for Practice: Considering the effectiveness of teaching positive thinking skills on nurses' job commitment, it is suggested that this simple, cheap and applicable method be used universally in nurses to strengthen psychological components.
