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 Perceived Job Satisfaction of RNs with Their Work Environment Pre and Post Work Redesign written by Deborah M. Faust and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health care dilemma of increasing patient acuity coupled with decreasing reimbursement, is forcing acute care agencies to explore new ways to increase productivity. Work redesign in the hospital setting is one strategic response to this dilemma. The restructuring of health care delivery systems and the redesign of nursing roles is creating dramatic changes in the work environment for nurses. Empirical evidence supports a relationship between work environment and job satisfaction of nurses. A successfully redesigned system is one that meets its' refined goals and objectives and makes its visions a reality (Spitzer-Lehman & Flarey, 1995). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to measure perceived RN satisfaction with the work environment pre and post work redesign. This study used a non-experimental, descriptive design. Registered nurses who work on a 40-bed medical telemetry unit in a large midwestern teaching hospital were identified for this study. A 38-item questionnaire was given prior to implementation of work redesign by another researcher and repeated 18 months after implementation by this researcher. The Work Quality Index (Whitley & Putzier,1994) contained six subscales: Professional work environment, autonomy, work worth, professional relationships, role enactment, and benefits. Demographic profiles were also obtained. Measures of central tendency and t-tests were employed to answer the research questions. Mean scores for the defined variables of RN satisfaction revealed the absence of statistically significant results, but did reflect a positive perception of work environment satisfaction pre and post work redesign. Discussion of subscales is included along with percentile rankings. The findings support empowerment/autonomy as being a positive marker for satisfaction. Work relationships with peers was also identified as being highly satisfying. Professional work relationships with physicians was identified as an area for further investigation. The results of this study provided objective data for benchmarking and for addressing unit based issues, as well as areas for improvement. Replication of the study using a multi-unit design would allow greater generalizability of the findings as well as give a more accurate measure of outcomes of the organizational redesign.

Download or read book A Study of the Perceived Dimensions of Job Satisfaction Among Nurses Working in the Hospital and in Non hospital Settings written by Catherine Madden and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many authorities believe that a major nursing shortage lies in the near future. This study was designed to investigate, over a broad spectrum of practice, what dimensions of the overall work environment nurses found most significant when they were evaluating their own job satisfaction. This basic information would be crucial to a more efficient utilization of resources in an effort to make the profession more appealing. A twelve item instrument that included various aspects of overall work environment, (intrinsic, extrinsic, administrative, and relationship items) was distributed to registered nurses in a variety of work settings: hospital, home health, and ambulatory care. Each item was scored from 1 - very unimportant, to 7- very important. Using the factor analysis method of statistical analysis, items that were highly correlated were grouped together into factors to facilitate analysis. The findings identify the intrinsic aspects of the work situation as being most important. This finding reinforces the findings of Fredrich Herzberg. In light of the increasing shortage of registered professional nurses, additional research is required in this area.

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.

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.
