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.

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.
Download or read book Perceptions of Job Satisfaction and Retention Patterns of Recent Nurse Graduates written by Tracy Lynn Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses are leaving nursing and many times they are leaving shortly after they are arriving into the profession. The relationship between job satisfaction, Magnet® status, intent to leave, and why nurses leave their jobs early in their careers in the State of Missouri is the focus of this descriptive correlational study. A stratified random sample of 97 registered nurses was obtained through a mailed survey. Job satisfaction was measured using the McCloskey-Mueller Satisfaction Scale. A statistically significant relationship was found between job satisfaction and Magnet® status. Sixty-eight percent reported leaving their first nursing position within their first five years of practice and 56.7% plan to leave their current position within the next five years. Findings suggest there are multiple factors influencing intent to leave and job satisfaction besides Magnet® status among this group of nurses. In addition, strategies are needed to assist new graduates when choosing their first nursing position.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the determinants of job satisfaction, work environment, and successful aging in association with retire among older registered nurses (RNs). In addition, this study was designed to further understand what motivates nurses to remain employed in their current positions by investigating the relationship among these determinants and their predictive value in the retirement of older RNs. Job satisfaction has long been correlated with retention of RNs and the work environment has more recently emerged as an important factor in retention of RNs. Positive work ability, perceived health and psychological work-related factors, including reward incentives, work environment, job autonomy, and job satisfaction are significantly associated with nurse intentions to continue working, instead of seeking alternative employment or retiring but these factors have not been studied among older RNs. Successful aging has been influential in the retention of workers in the business arena. The combination of these three concepts, job satisfaction, work environment, and successful aging, and how they relate to retirement is particularly significant in face of the current and continued nursing shortage in the United States and around the world. As nurses age there is a suggested difference between older and younger nurses' ability to work and this difference could affect decisions made to remain on the job. Common stereotypes specific to older workers may lead to an overall disinterest about retaining older workers by human resource personnel and possible discrimination when hiring, workplace education and layoffs of older nurses. One clear priority towards older nurses is to redress employer attitudes on the subject of older workers and their ability to work. This research sought to find ways that change rather than entrench seemingly inappropriate stereotypes of older workers. Understanding older RN's decisions on retirement in terms of the multi-faceted topics of job satisfaction, work environment, and successful aging contributes to the development of strategies important to the decision to stay or delay retirement of older nurses for human resource departments.

Book excerpt: This research project embarked upon an investigation related to the retention of nurses at a small hospital in the Southeastern United States. The research question that guided this study asked, what were the factors affecting nurse satisfaction at this health care facility? Many variables were explored as answers sought through surveys and documented reviews emerged. From a sample of 65 (n=65) respondents to a survey it was discovered that salary, vacation, opportunities to work straight days, compensation for working weekends, weekends off, nursing peers, physician the nurse works with, opportunities to interact professionally with other disciplines, recognition of work from peers, amount of encouragement, and positive feedback and the amount of responsibility undertaken were the most prevalent factors affecting nurse satisfaction at this small hospital in Southeastern United States. Findings were consistent with previous research conducted on the subject. The following pages of this document outline a comprehensive descriptive explanatory report of the research process and conclusions drawn.
Download or read book Job Satisfaction Among a Multigenerational Critical Care Nursing Workforce written by Sara Greene Clay and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the slight ease of the nursing shortage due to the current recession, the United States is expected to still have a shortage of approximately 260,000 registered nurses by the year 2025. Healthcare is an ever changing profession where nurses, no matter their generation, must learn to adapt to their constantly changing environment and expectations. Job satisfaction is a strong and constant predictor of retention and can vary greatly across generations. The purpose of this study was to get insight into generational differences related to job satisfaction and to use these data to increase clarity concerning retention approaches specific to these generations. The organizing framework was based on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory. The study participants were registered nurses who have had at least three months experience in the critical care setting at their current organization. Spearman's Correlation was used to determine relationships between their generation of birth and certain factors of their job satisfaction along with their overall job satisfaction. The data provided support that there is a significant relationship between overall job satisfaction and the registered nurse's birth year. These data also points out windows of opportunities for improvement for certain categories among the specific generations in question. Recommendations for further research include using a broader sample incorporating various regions of the United States and facilities of larger size. Determining how the different generations perceive their working environments is the first step in developing a plan and strategies to improve their overall satisfaction leading to improved retention.
