Abstract:

 Nowadays mission and vision are concepts that should be given importance in terms of health management. Based on this point of view, the mission and vision statements of 26 hospitals in Samsun, which has the most population and also the most hospitals in the Blacksea Region, were examined. In this context, there are three purposes of the research. The first one is to determine the components of the mission and vision of public and private hospitals operating in Samsun province and in the towns of Samsun since December 2022. The second aim is to determine what the mission and vision components emphasize. The third aim is to compare these results according to the type of ownership of the hospitals. Within this scope, qualitative research method was preferred as a method in the study. In addition, document analysis technique was used to collect data. Morever, content analysis was used to analyse the obtained data. As a result, it is determined that in the mission statements in hospitals, the customer and service are the components emphasized the most, and the placeis the component emphasized the least. Besides, in the vision statements, it was seen that the most emphasis was placed on the people component, and the least emphasis was on the place component. Consequently, it was found out that, although the components of the mission and vision vary according to the types of ownership of the hospitals, there were no noteworthy differences.

 Günümüzde misyon ve vizyon, sağlık yönetimi açısından önem verilmesi gereken kavramlardır. Bu düşünceden hareketle Karadenizin hem en çok nüfusa sahip olan hem de en fazla hastanenin faaliyet gösterdiği Samsun ilindeki 26 hastanenin, misyon ve vizyon beyanları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın üç amacı vardır. Birinci amacı 2022 yılı Aralık ayı itibarıyla Samsun il ve ilçelerinde faaliyet gösteren, kamu ve özel hastanelerinin misyon ve vizyonların bileşenlerini tespit etmektir. İkinci amacı tespit edilen misyon ve vizyon bileşenlerinin, hangi ifadelere vurgu yaptıklarını belirlemektir. Üçüncü amacı ise elde edilen bu sonuçları, hastanelerin mülkiyet türüne göre karşılaştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada yöntem olarak nitel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Ayrıca veri toplama tekniği olarak doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Diğer taraftan verilerin analizinde ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak hastanelerde, misyon beyanlarında en fazla müşteri ve hizmet bileşenine, en az yer bileşenine vurgu yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Vizyon beyanlarında ise en fazla vurgunun insanlar bileşenine, en az vurgunun ise yer bileşenine yapıldığı görülmüştür. Nihayetinde misyon ve vizyon bileşenlerinin, hastanelerin mülkiyet türlerine göre değişkenlik gösterseler de çok belirgin farklılıklarının olmadığı saptanmıştır.
