Abstract
Methods: The present study was a Quasi-experimental study with single-group before-after design conducted in 2019 on 35 operating room personnel who were selected by convenience sampling. Demographic information and standard anger control questionnaires were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 16, with descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean, and frequency, and inferential tests including Independent T-Test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test at a significance level less than 0.05.
Ethical Considerations: Written informed consent was obtained from the participants. They were also assured of data confidentiality and their right to withdraw during the research.
Results: Based on the results the mean age of the participants was 30.77±8.17 years. Results showed a significant difference between the mean score of anger control after the intervention (49.54±7.97) and before the intervention stage (104.43±21.37, p <0.001). No significant relationship was reported between anger control and the variables of age (P=0.62), service history (P=0.92) and number of working hours (P=0.74). Also, the mean of anger control was not significantly different according to gender (P=0.12).
Conclusion: The research findings showed that virtual training on professional ethics can enhance anger control. It is recommended that managers and authorities provide virtual courses on professional ethics so that operating room staff can improve interpersonal relations and anger control by increasing their awareness of professional ethics principles.
