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.
Download or read book The Factors that Influence the Recruitment and Retention of Registered Nurses in the Home Health Field written by Carolyn A. Ballinger and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive pilot study examined the factors that influence recruitment and retention of the Registered Nurse in the home health field. The sample included 40 female nurses; 25 RNs and 15 LPNs currently employed by a southwest Ohio home health agency. The subjects were randomly selected from an employee pool of 100 RNs and 200 LPNs. Each subject completed both a demographic survey and the Nurses Work Satisfaction Index (Stamps & Piedmonte, 1986). The demographic survey data were assessed through comparative analysis, while the Nurses Work Satisfaction Index raw data were scored quantitatively, and subjected to standard descriptive statistical analysis. The following factors were found to impact recruitment and retention of home health RNs: pay, autonomy level, professional status, interaction with co-workers, task requirements, and organizational policies (in descending order of importance). This finding remains consistent across marital status, age, and area of practice (administrative or client based). The percent of an RN's career spent at the agency was also found to play a potential role in nurse retention, with overall RN job satisfaction falling significantly once the 30% level had been reached. These results were RN specific, and could not be generalized to include the LPN sample.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine factors that contribute to the retention of experienced RNs in one facility for a period of 5 years or longer. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was utilized as the theoretical frame work in this study. Thirty seven qualified subjects responded (36%). Each nurse answered two questionnaires: a) The Demographic Data Sheet, and b) The Meaningful Retention Strategy Inventory (MRSI) tool. The MRSI was based on 60 questions divided into eight categories of specific retention strategies that experienced nurses consider important factors that helped to contribute to their job satisfaction and decreased turnover. These eight categories are: autonomy, communication, administrative, recognition, working conditions, professional practice, scheduling/staffing, and pay/benefits. The data was then appropriately analyzed using the Pearson (r) correlation and one-way ANOVA. The major finding of this study was that there was no significant relationship between job satisfaction and retention. The overall mean satisfaction score was 3.25 on a 4-point scale which translates to 81.34%, a number that is considered only average. When the respondent's mean ratings were used to rank order the subscales, the highest ranking was: pay/benefits, followed by autonomy, communication, administrative, working conditions, professional practice, recognition, and scheduling. None of these subscales of job satisfaction were correlated to years of retention. Another significant implication of this study was that although experienced nurses' level of satisfaction was considered average, the reason why they remain at their current institutions is due, in large part, to the current adverse economic constraints. The conclusion from this study, therefore, was that there are other factors that determine retention other than just job satisfaction.

Download or read book Nursing Engagement written by Stacy Ann Andries and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing engagement has been linked to many outcomes in the nursing work environment such as patient safety, job satisfaction, increased productivity, patient satisfaction, and decreased patient mortality. The importance of nursing engagement also has been demonstrated to retain nurses. The nursing shortage in the United States emphasizes the need for nursing leaders to focus on staff retention. This project examined the relationship between nursing engagement and the metrics of nursing satisfaction, patient safety and satisfaction, nursing retention, and productivity. The specific problem identified was: In the perinatal services registered nurse population of a suburban Houston hospital, does the level of engagement (isolated by department) positively correlate with nurse retention, staff productivity, nurse and patient satisfaction, and patient safety when compared with nurses that are not engaged in their work during the first quarter of 2017? This project was based on the social exchange theory which proposes that employees receive benefit from the exchange of resources in order to deliver effective patient care. The project utilized a non-experimental, quantitative correlational methodology. Findings were consistent with literature for each department (n=90). The highest engagement and nursing satisfaction were observed to be in the pediatric department which also reported the highest productivity at 103% and retention with 0% turnover. Implications for this project demonstrated that focus on the engagement of nurses can result in increased productivity, increased patient satisfaction as well as improved quality care outcomes such as decreased falls.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The objective of the study was to determine the factors that contribute to the retention of new registered nurses in their first employment situation. The hypothesis, which stated that there would be a positive relationship between job satisfaction and retention, was tested on 33 new RNs who worked in one community hospital. Each subject answered two questionnaires: McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale tool that categorized the sources of job satisfaction into eight subcategories and the demographic data sheet. Pearson Product Moment Correlations, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were used as appropriate. The results did not support the hypothesis, that retention was related to job satisfaction. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory was used to explain the findings. The overall nurse satisfaction was rated at 3.57 on a 5 point scale or at the 71.48%. The range was from 63 to 83% level. In spite of the low satisfaction level, nurses tended to stay at their first job. This was possibly due to the current adverse economic conditions of the state of California. A closer look at the eight subscales of satisfaction tool revealed that nurses were happier with their coworkers and level of interaction with other healthcare professionals, and least happy with their lack of opportunity for decision-making and control over the work situation. Implications were made to Nursing Administration to improve the conceptual environment to help improve the work conditions of the new nurses.
