Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) (AACN) role with the variables of work related stress, quality of life, job satisfaction and anticipated turnover of acute care nurses. Participants included registered nurses (RNs) (N= 94) in Florida recruited from 3 (not for profit) Magnet hospitals in the Tampa Bay Florida area. An ex post facto design was used to test the hypotheses of this study; independent t-tests compared RN's responses on survey tools measuring work-related stress, quality of life, job satisfaction, and anticipated turnover. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the interrelationships among these variables. RNs (N=94) completed five survey instruments, including a researcher-developed demographic form. The results of the study showed Aim1 which explored work- related stress did not show any statistical difference between the two groups. Aim 2 which explored job satisfaction and quality of life did not show a difference in the two groups when total scores were analyzed. However, the mental health subscale of the Sf-36(quality of life) was significant (p=.021), and the general health subscale of the Sf-36 trended toward the CNL group reporting better general health (p=.080). This study revealed that Aim 3 which explored anticipated turnover was statistically significant (p=.047). Standard multiple regression showed a significant relationship existed between CNLs, work related stress and anticipated turnover. The significance of implementation of the CNL role in decreasing turnover through a relationship with these variables may have an important impact on the nursing profession. Specifically, economic implications vii in reducing turnover that bear further exploration and improving the nursing work environment. This research is the first study to explore the CNL role in relation to these variables.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The healthcare community needs to be concerned about nursing turnover intention and the effect on the projected nursing shortage. The evaluation of nursing turnover intention and the association between turnover intention and various predictors needs to be determined. Job satisfaction and perceived stress have been identified to influence the intention to turnover. In addition, environmental factors (i.e. odor, noise, and light) may influence perceived stress and job satisfaction. This study tested theoretical relationships between the dependent variables of perceived stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention and each of the independent variables of (a) odor, (b) noise, and (c) light. The sample was comprised of 116 full-time registered nurses who worked on the medical-surgical unit of a 588 bed Level 1 trauma center located in northern New Jersey. Hypothesis testing employed correlational and regression statistical techniques. Statistically significant relationships were found between perceived stress and job satisfaction (r =.549, p =.000), job satisfaction and turnover intention (r = .740, p = .000), perceived stress and turnover intention (r =.336, p =.000), and perceived level of odor and job satisfaction (r = -.272, p =.003). The relationships between perceived stress and job satisfaction, job satisfaction and turnover intention, and perceived stress and turnover intention were anticipated due to the strong theoretical and empirical evidence supporting these relationships. Although a specific hypothesis was not proposed to combine all independent variables to explain the dependent variable of turnover intention, all independent variables were added to a regression model using backward regression. Backward regression was used because none of the independent variables were strong predictors of turnover intention. The environmental factors did not contribute significantly to the variance in turnover intention. Likewise, perceived stress offered little contribution. Finally, level of light and job satisfaction, together, explained 56% of the variance in turnover intention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper was to examine the relationships among pay satisfaction, job satisfaction, and turnover. While there is a fairly large body of literature on pay satisfaction/dissatisfaction-turnover relationship, there are reasons to expect different outcomes in occupations - such as social work and nursing - where job satisfaction, versus pay, may be of equal, if not greater importance. Essentially, it may be argued that in these sectors, workers are driven more by job satisfaction rather than their paychecks. Yet, there is little empirical research on this issue; thus, a primary purpose of this study is to address this research need. This study will add to the recent research that has focused on key human resources management and industrial relations issues related to the nursing profession in Canada. Furthermore, many studies use a unidimensional measure of pay satisfaction even though the literature suggests that there are better measures. Using a four-dimensional instrument in this study, we improve on past practices. Using a sample of 200 nurses in a unionized hospital in Ontario to test our hypotheses, we found support for both (viz., 1. The four pay dimensions will affect turnover intent differently; and 2. Job satisfaction will add incrementally to the explained variance in the pay satisfaction-turnover relationship). The findings support the contention that nurses may be more motivated by their jobs, versus their pay. The findings may be good news for organizations that want to better manage labour costs. There are different ways for hospitals to improve their workplace environment in order to increase satisfaction with intrinsic job factors and reduce turnover.

To identify the factors of job satisfaction and stress of nurses and their association with turnover intention rate in an acute hospital in Hong Kong. Background. Heavy workload, shortage of manpower and high turnover rate of nurse are the major problems in Hong Kong particularly in public hospitals even after measures have been taken to tackle them in recent years. Many studies in western countries showed that workload, turnover rate, stress, satisfaction level and turnover intention of nurse were associated. However there are few studies in Asian countries. This information is needed to provide policymakers evidence to formulate particular policy to deal with these problems. Design. This is a cross sectional study. Survey data were collected from nurses in the medical ward, operation theatre and intensive care unit of Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Hong Kong. Methods. A snowball convenience sampling method was used to collect samples from the selected departments. My colleagues in the select departments referred participants to me. Packet of questionnaire was distributed to the participants and the questionnaire was self - administered .The survey questionnaires, including the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS), Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) and Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS), were used to collect data from the sampled subjects. Results. Mean scores of ENSS, JSS and ATS of the respondents were 140.77 out of 228, 114.12 out of 216 and 49.48 out of 84 respectively. These indicated that respondents had high stress and high intention to leave level but mild satisfaction level. It also revealed that there was inverse relationship between stress and satisfaction level (r = -0.23, 95% CI: -0.46 to -0.02) and between satisfaction level and intention to leave level (-0.41, 95% CI: -0.62 to -0.19). Conclusion. There is some evidence of high stress level and intention to leave in nurses working in public hospital while their satisfaction level is in a moderate level. Stress level, satisfaction level and intention to leave level in nurses are associated. The management should adopt an evidence - based approach in improving the work environment for nurses. Even though the generalization of this study is weak, it is useful for the hospital to deal with the human resource problems of nurses.

Download or read book Burnout Turnover and Job Satisfaction in Relation to Nursing Shortage in Acute Settings written by Grace Baraniak and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aim. To describe the finding from a qualitative study focusing on nurses' turnover, burnout, and job satisfaction in the relation to nurse shortages in acute settings. Background. The healthcare industry in the United States and around the world historically have been experiencing nursing shortages and nurse turnovers. The nursing shortage, in many acute settings, is related to several variables, such as job satisfaction, burnout, and high turnover. The frequent nurse turnover increases workload on currently working nursing staff by increasing their burnout, stress level, and job dissatisfaction. The researchers were able link the nurses' job satisfaction with patients quality of care. In the acute settings where patient acuity increases, the patient care decreases. Design. This research study will provide information by using questionnaires among the hospital nurses and the correlation between their job satisfaction, turnover, and burnout. The questionnaire will be distributed among effective units which are, the progressive care unit (PCU), the intensive care unit (ICU), and the telemetry unit. Results. By using questionnaires, nurses will be able to provide valuable information related to their opinion about job satisfaction and stress level in relation to nursing staff shortage. Conclusion. The outcome of the study will encourage the board of directors to increase the staff on effective units, which will improve job satisfaction, decreased burnout, and turnover among hospital nurses. As research points out, some hospitals continue to find the solution by improving work environment, offering flexible employment opportunity, increasing staff, and distributing work according to the patient's acuity.
