Book Exploring the Relationship Between Job Satisfaction  Bullying  and Authentic Leadership Among Medical surgical Nurses

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Job Satisfaction Bullying and Authentic Leadership Among Medical surgical Nurses written by Karen Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Research suggests that medical/surgical nurses have lower job satisfaction than nurses in other areas. Research also reports that 80% of nurses will experience bullying in their careers and that leadership style has a significant impact on the organizational work environment. Authentic leadership is a relatively new concept, which has been linked to increased job satisfaction and decreased bullying. Although job satisfaction has been widely explored, the relationship between job satisfaction, bullying, and authentic leadership in medical-surgical nurses has not been studied. Therefore, purpose of this thesis study was to use the Organizational Framework for Predicting Nurse Retention to explore the relationship between workplace bullying, job satisfaction, and authentic leadership among medical-surgical nurses. Methods: As part of a larger study, a cross-sectional survey was utilized (N=317). Invitations to participate were sent to all medical-surgical nurses in Manitoba, via the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba. Results: The findings revealed that an alarming 43% of nurses had been reportedly bullied (occasionally/ severely) at work. However, 65% of the participants reported overall job satisfaction (i.e., satisfied/ very satisfied) and rated their managers as relatively authentic. While bivariate and multivariate regression analysis revealed significant relationships among the three main study concepts, control/autonomy emerged as a central and common influencing factor. Discussion: Based on these findings, control/autonomy is key factor in the medical-surgical nursing environment. Therefore, strategies to decrease bullying and increase job satisfaction should focus on developing authentic leadership in nurse managers and increasing perceived control and autonomy for nurses working in medical-surgical areas. Further studies with more diverse nursing populations are needed to support this novel research evidence.

Book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout

Download or read book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

Book Resonant Leadership

Download or read book Resonant Leadership written by Richard Boyatzis and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others' emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.

Book Influencing Factors Related to Workplace Bullying Among Nurses

Download or read book Influencing Factors Related to Workplace Bullying Among Nurses written by Christine J. Howell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers in the fields of psychology and business have studied workplace bullying since the 1980s, and more recently it has gained attention in the healthcare arena. It is of specific interest to nurses, as nurses are reported to have the highest prevalence rates among health professionals. Moreover, there are numerous consequences to individual well-being, work teams, health organizations, and patient care. Researchers have studied the relationships between influencing factors and exposure to workplace bullying; however, these findings have not yet been systematically reviewed. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to examine what is known about factors that positively and negatively influence the risk or prevalence of workplace bullying among nurses, and systematically review the findings. Fourteen studies were selected for final inclusion in the review, including both quantitative and qualitative published studies that examined correlations between potential antecedent factors and risk of bullying among formally educated nurses. Quality assessments, data extraction, and analysis were completed for all included studies. Content analysis was conducted using the Theoretical Framework for the Study and Management of Bullying at Work as a baseline. The framework was then adapted to reflect the findings that nurses reported both enabling and inhibiting factors at the individual, social, and organizational levels. Additionally, organizational action in response to bullying behavior was reported as an important enabler of future bullying behavior. The findings of the review provide direction for multidimensional intervention strategies, management training, and policy development. Future research is needed to confirm the results of original studies, explore relationships among factors at various levels, examine antecedents from the perspective of the bully, and confirm or expand the remaining components of the framework for its overall applicability to nursing. More rigorous designs are also needed to study directionality and improve the strength of findings.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

From a focus on everyday manners in difficult situations to beneficial approaches with challenging populations, the guide helps health care professionals confidently resolve common problems.
