Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates occupational stress and information literacy on professional ethics, suggesting improvement in health system performance.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates how occupational stress and information literacy predict professional ethics among healthcare workers.
  • Cross-sectional study design among 336 staff at Sarab University of Medical Sciences, selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling.
  • Standardized instruments used include the Cadozier Professional Ethics Questionnaire, Information Literacy Scale, and HSE Job Stress Questionnaire.
  • Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and hierarchical multiple regression.
  • Professional ethics strongly correlates with information literacy (r = 0.702, p < 0.001) and lower occupational stress (r = 0.543, p < 0.001).
  • Information literacy is the strongest predictor of professional ethics (β = 0.561, p < 0.001), followed by lower occupational stress (β = 0.213, p < 0.001).
  • The final model explains 55.6% of the variance in professional ethics scores.
