Abstract: (57 Views)
Background and Objectives: Nurses, as the largest professional group in the health system, are affected by the level of communication and sharing networks in their work environments due to their constant contact with patients and other members of the treatment team. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of social capital on key indicators of nurses' performance.
Methods: The study is quantitative. The time frame of the study is spring and summer 2025. The population is nurses at the University of Medical Sciences of Markazi Province, and a sample of 180 selected using a simple random method. Data analysis performed using structural equation modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS 3.0 software.
Results: Cognitive, relational, and structural dimensions of social capital have a positive effect on nurses' participation and social cohesion. The cognitive dimension has the greatest effect on social participation with a coefficient of 0.541. Social participation and cohesion also have a positive effect on nurses' retention and satisfaction. Social participation has a greater effect on retention with a coefficient of 0.641.
Conclusion: Explaining common goals, creating an atmosphere based on trust, mutual respect, and social support in the workplace, designing structures such as interdisciplinary work teams, and professional nursing networks can help increase social participation and cohesion among nurses and ultimately lead to increased job satisfaction and a desire to stay in the organization.
