In this study, the relationship between the levels of participation of hospital staff in health reforms and perceived performance levels were investigated. The data attained from 274 participants were evaluated. The level of participation of health professionals in health reforms was 3.23 and the level of perceived performance was found to be 3.91. When evaluated at the point that 5 represents the highest level, these average scores may be indicative of moderate performance and participation in reforms. It was concluded that there is a relationship between the level of participation in health reforms and performance (r = 0.563, p < 0.01). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
