Download or read book The Influence of Values and Psychosocial Job Characteristics on Intent to Leave Among Hospital Nurses written by Amanda Rosenkranz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supply of registered nurses is predicted to be insufficient to meet the healthcare needs of an aging society. It is imperative that nurses are retained to alleviate effects of this shortage on quality nursing care. Intent to leave is a behavior driven by many factors in registered nurses working in a hospital setting. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among personal values, individual and psychosocial job characteristics and intent to leave in hospital nurses. Individual characteristics included demographic variables such as age, gender, years of experience and education. Psychosocial job characteristics were decision latitude, psychological demands and social support. A nonexperimental, exploratory, cross-sectional survey research design was used. Data were collected using an online survey tool in a sample of registered nurses in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Participants ranged in age from 22 to 74 years old (M = 46.9). The majority of participants were female (n = 108, 93.1%), non-Hispanic Caucasian (n =94, 81%) and had obtained a bachelor of science degree (n=59, 50.9%). Participants had on average spent 11.9 years in their current job, had 20.9 years of experience, and worked 31.5 hours per week. The sample was dichotomized for bivariate comparisons: nurses with intent to leave (n=41) and nurses without intent to leave (n=75). Those with intent to leave had significantly lower income and a significantly lower score on the personal value of benevolence, indicating this was a lower value priority. Pearson correlations were computed and stepwise multiple regression was performed to determine the relationships among predictors of intent to leave. Fewer years of experience as a nurse, fewer years in the current job, and a higher score on the personal value of hedonism significantly predicted intent to leave, explaining 9.2% of the variance.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first practical guide for nurses on how to incorporate the knowledge, skills, and tools of Strength-Based Nursing Care (SBC) into everyday practice. The text, based on a model developed by the McGill University Nursing Program, signifies a paradigm shift from a deficit-based model to one that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.

This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My writing of this book has evolved over the past thirty-six years of professional nursing practice. These were my first efforts as an author, which were published in 2013: Promoting a Culture of Safety: Preventing Central Line Infections in Weill Cornell Medical Center, which used a performance improvement process to lower the rate at which critically ill patients in cardiac care developed central line infections, and Factors Influencing Critical Nurses' Perception of their Overall Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study, which used a correctional approach and was statistically analyzed to determine the perception of critical-care nurses of their manager's leadership style and its effect on their job satisfaction. Having been on the receiving end of leadership behaviors gave me a firsthand opportunity to observe these diverse nurse leaders at both extremes of the spectrumfrom laissez-faire leadership style to dictatorial leadership style and everything in between. Each encounter has enriched my life immeasurably. My personal and professional experiences, as well as the knowledge I gained from completing my dissertation, all compelled me to write this bookto share with novice managers and those aspiring for a leadership role an awareness and provide them with some valuable information needed as they forge their career paths into a leadership role, knowing that one of the keys to effective leadership is the ability to stay intellectually curious and committed to learning with the understanding that new knowledge can come from variety of sources and to make it a point of duty to be always on a lookout for new knowledge.
Download or read book Handbook of Stress and Burnout in Health Care written by Jonathon R. B. Halbesleben and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to summarise the state of the science in the study of stress and burnout among health care professionals. Moreover, this book seeks to set the agenda for future research in the areas of stress and burnout. Despite the popularity of these topics as subjects for empirical study, particularly among health professionals, there has been no attempt to build a comprehensive summary of the literature concerning stress and burnout in health care. This book fills the void by bringing together leaders in the academic study of stress and burnout and by summarising the research on the measurement of stress and burnout, the unique causes of this condition for health care professionals as well as the consequences of stress and burnout and the patients they serve. It covers evidence-based mechanisms for the prevention and reduction of stress and burnout. Each chapter provides a synthesis of the critical stress and burnout literature as well as ideas for what research is needed to fill current voids in the literature. Final chapter of the book provides a research agenda to promote research concerning this phenomenon in health professions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses selected violations of professional nursing conduct and practices that take place in shadows or on the margins of clinical practice--incidents that represent "dark" or "gray" areas of nursing. Chapters identify threats to patient and nurse well-being that are antithetical to nurses' principles; sensitize nurses and other stakeholders to gray and dark sides of nursing through case examples; and pose evidence-based solutions for eliminating, mitigating, and addressing examples representing the gray or dark side of nursing. The book encourages organizations to promote a culture of ethical responsibility for nursing practices.

Download or read book Thriving in Digital Workspaces written by Melinde Coetzee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on innovative solutions to the debate on human thriving in the fast emerging technology-driven cyber-physical work context, also called Industry 4.0. The volume asks the important question: How can people remain relevant and thrive in workplaces that are increasingly virtual, technology-driven, and imbued with artificial intelligence? This volume includes two major streams of discussion: it provides multidisciplinary perspectives on what thriving could mean for individuals, managers and organisations in current and future non-linear and Web-driven workspaces. In this context, it points to the need to rethink the curricula of the psychology of human thriving so that it is applicable to Industry 4.0. Second, it discusses the new platforms of learning opening up in organisations and the ways and means with which people's learning practices can be adapted to changing scenarios. Some of these scenarios are: changing job designs and talent requirements; the demand for creativity; the need for virtual teams and intercultural collaborations; and changing emotional competencies. This topical volume includes contributions by scholars from across the world, and is of interest to scholars, practitioners and postgraduate students of psychology, organizational behaviour and human resource management.
