Özet:

Time, as in all sectors, keeps its importance in the health sector, which ensures the preservation, development and continuity of health, and even when it comes to human life, comes more forward than other organizations. When it is unmanaged in this industry where technology is widely used, the example of a domino stone will also negatively affect all people and processes. In hospitals, which are an important structure of the health sector where health services are provided, where every minute and even moments compete with each other and where people interfere with human life work, being aware of the importance of effective use of time is one of the biggest pioneers in the success and quality of the institution. Many criteria developed and applied to measure the success of hospitals are questioning the results of the race held over time. The main objective of this study is to identify the health care workers’ time skills in the hospital and the demographic characteristics that differentiate their health care workers’ time use. The study also sought to identify the demographic characteristics and time hostages that differentiate the time use of healthcare workers. The data in the study was collected from the health workers of the A hospital in Edirne, associated with the Turkish Public Hospitals Institution. The study implemented a survey that included the "time management scale-time inventory" for the collection of data about healthcare workers' time management. The data obtained in the study was evaluated using the SPSS 21 package program. In the evaluation; one-variable statistical methods have taken advantage of frequency analysis, t test and ANOVA test and non-parametric tests such as Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis Test. In the analyses made, although there were no differences in gender-by-sex time management, there were significant differences in scale and subdimensions according to civic state, education and professional experience. According to this, health care workers who receive and do not receive time management training have shown that there are differences in the size of time planning. It has been determined that the fields of time training are more effective in long- and short-term time planning. The study also found that employees were unable to stay away from the “excellence” and “guest” trap, but that “telephone conversations were away from the time trap”. The results of the study need to meet the decisions with a well-managed time in order to the effective and desired results in healthcare.
