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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a profession where the nursing shortage is well known and inevitable despite of vacancy reprieves, understanding determinants of job satisfaction may now be an essential component of retention strategies. Many factors are causing the health care industry to see the potential significant implications of the nursing shortage. Collaboratively creating an environment of empowerment, autonomy, and lower stress, nurses are content and satisfied. In turn, satisfied nurses can continue to deliver safe and quality patient care. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships among the determinants of job satisfaction. Nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjected job stress were the identified independent variables and job satisfaction was the dependent variable. The following instruments were used to measure the perspective study variables: Collaborative Behavior Scale-B (CBS-B); Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II (CWEQ-II); a subscale from the Index of Work Satisfaction; Subjective Job Stress; and Michigan Organizational Assessment Scale. The hypotheses proposed for the study included: there will be positive relationship between nurse-manager collaboration and job satisfaction; there will be a positive relationship between empowerment and job satisfaction; there will be positive relationship between autonomy and job satisfaction; there will be negative relationships between subjective job stress and job satisfaction; there will be significant relationships among nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjective job stress. The research study was a descriptive correlation study design. A convenience, snowball sample methodology was used. Once correlation was identified, the study variables were further analyzed using multiple regression and dominance analysis. There were significant correlations among the study variables. Empowerment had the strongest correlation to job satisfaction (r = 0.71, p [less than or equal to] 0.05). It explained 50% of the variance in job satisfaction ([lower case beta] = 0.76, p [less than] 0.001). Dominance analysis revealed empowerment is the most importance predicator of job satisfaction (F = 46.57, df = 1, 70; R2 = 0.213). The data supported all hypotheses. A post hoc analysis was conducted to determine if any of the study variables were correlated with nurses' perceptions of unit commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. These three variables were measured with one question on the demographic requesting the respondent to rate each of these variables on a 10-point scale. Several statistically significant correlations were identified. Perception of NMC was highly and significantly correlated to perception of unit's commitment to nurse safety. This validates the desire that safety in nursing practice is affected by how effective the collaboration is between the nurse and the nurse manager. The perception of autonomy was significantly correlated to unit's commitment to patient safety. This may imply that the more the nurse believes that the higher their autonomy (scopespecific decision making power) patient safety increases. These results indicate the relationship between nurses' perceptions of NMC, empowerment, autonomy, SJS, and JS with the nurses' perceptions of the units' commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. This is the first time that such findings have been reported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses are leaving the profession due to high levels of job dissatisfaction arising from current working conditions characterized by heavy workloads, limited participation in decision making and lack of development opportunities (Canadian Health Services Research Foundation [CHSRF], 2006a). To gain organizational support for workplace improvements and thereby improve nursing retention, evidence is needed to demonstrate the impact of the work environment on patient care. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nurses' perceptions of their work environment and the quality and risk outcomes for both the patient and the nurse. Kanter's (1977, 1993) theory of structural empowerment guided the study. Empowering work environments for nurses were hypothesized to impact group processes and thereby work effectiveness as reflected in patient outcomes (patient satisfaction, therapeutic self care, falls and nurse-assessed risks). Empowering workplaces were also hypothesized to enhance the nurse's psychological empowerment and, in turn, engagement in empowering behaviours that lead to quality care and job satisfaction. A multi-level cross-sectional design was used to test the study model. Self-report surveys were used for a sample of nurses (n=679) and discharged patients (n=1005) affiliated with medical and surgical units from 21 hospitals in Ontario. Unit characteristics and falls data were obtained from existing hospital databases. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, the hypothesized model fit well with the data (2=21.074, df=10, CFI=.985, TLI=.921, RMSEA=.041, SRMR .002[within] and .054[between]). Empowering workplaces had positive effects on nurse-assessed quality of care and predicted fewer falls and nurse-assessed risks as mediated through group processes. These conditions positively impacted individual psychological empowerment which, in turn, had significant direct effects on empowered behaviour, job satisfaction and care quality. Theoretically, evidence supported the further evolution of structural empowerment theory to include group processes and empowered behaviour as mediators to various nurse and patient outcomes. The evidence from this study also reinforced the critical need to invest in improving nursing work environments for the benefit of patients and nurses. Theory-informed strategies for changes to the workplace have the potential to mitigate against projected nursing shortages and ensure a sustainable workforce to meet future demands for care.

Book excerpt: This exploratory study involved the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods to examine home care nurses' perception of empowerment and how it influences their decisions in the home clinical setting. Exploring the individual factors that could impact empowerment, the study examined the individual nurse's assessment of their own empowerment and factors that influence it. Fifteen nurses were self-selected to participate. All completed an interview, were observed and given Spreitzer's Psychological Empowerment Instrument (PEI) to complete. A framework analysis was performed to identify mutually exclusive and exhaustive emergent themes and patterns within the data. Thomas and Velthouse's (1990) Cognitive Model of Empowerment was used to develop themes related to empowerment. Overall, home care nurses in this study believed they were empowered. They described that empowerment is in the interaction between nurse and patient, and nurse and health care provider. They perceived being empowered as independent, confident, trusting and comfortable with providing good quality care. They also believed that having the ability to practice collaboratively and build professional relationships with physicians, nurses and other health care professionals was an essential component of empowerment. Nurses in this study perceive empowerment as having meaning, choice and competence in their job. The dimension of empowerment that was missing was the ability to make an impact on the organization.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare leaders have a responsibility to understand the connection between healthy practice environments and patients’ perceptions of care. The purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between the nurses’ perception of the practice environment and the patients’ perception of feeling known by their nurses. This descriptive, correlational study used quantitative and qualitative methodology. A convenience sample of 123 patients, on six patient care units, completed the Patients’ Perception of Feeling Known by their Nurses Scale and a supplemental survey designed to determine the content validity of the Patients’ Perception of Feeling Known by their Nurses Scale. To measure registered nurse satisfaction at the unit level (N=6), 290 nurses completed the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators RN Survey with Job Satisfaction Scales-R. Patients’ perception of feeling known by their nurses was high with a mean of 3.5 out of 4.0. No significant differences between levels of care were found. Nurses had favorable satisfaction at 4.37 on a 6 point scale. Nesting patients within individual nursing units, mixed linear modeling for the relationship between job satisfaction and patients’ perception of feeling known was non-significant (t(4) = -1.085, p > .05). The supplemental survey offered content validation on the subscales of “Experienced a meaningful, personal connection with their nurses” and “Felt empowered by their nurses to participate in their care.” For the subscale “Felt safe” a focus on safety measures was revealed as a new category. The fourth subscale, “Experienced being recognized as a unique human being,” suggests nursing has opportunity for improvement in the more subjective aspects of patient care.
