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 Job Satisfaction and Stress Level of the Occupational Health Nurse written by Angela Ballard (nurse) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational health nursing is a specialized field of nursing, employing only about 1% of total U.S. nurses (Moore & Moore, 2014). For this reason, it is often difficult to recruit prospective occupational health nurses (OHN). The need for OHN has grown in the auto industry in 2014 and 2015 due to increased production rates. It is important to determine whether or not current OHN, specifically in the auto manufacturing field, are satisfied and plan to stay in their current positions. Identifying reasons for job stress and job satisfaction helps leadership to correct deficiencies and develop and maintain a positive work environment that leads to the retention of the OHN. Thirty-eight occupational health nurses, working in five auto manufacturing plants in the South, volunteered to describe overall job satisfaction and stress in general as measured anonymously through the Job Descriptive Index, Job in General Index, and Stress in General Index (Bowling Green State University, 2009). Nurses in this sample were generally satisfied with their jobs and identified low workplace stress levels. Nurses were most satisfied with supervision, coworkers, and their jobs in general. The lowest satisfaction scores were for pay and opportunities for promotion. Based on this study, nurse leadership should implement pay increases for the OHN and also implement tiered levels of promotion for nurses to advance professionally. Research concerning job satisfaction and stress levels of occupational health nurses needs to be expanded to include multiple occupational settings.

This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

Download or read book Work Related Stress Burnout Job Satisfaction and General Health of South African Nurses written by Natasha Khamisa and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses have been found to experience higher burnout levels compared to other health professionals owing to the nature of their work. High burnout levels among nurses have been attributed to their stressful working environments. Prolonged exposure to work related stress leading to burnout has negative consequences for job satisfaction and general health of nurses. This has wider implications on the health system, such as high turnover rates and compromised patient care.A systematic review was conducted to determine the evidence base concerning the relationship between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses. A comprehensive search identified 85 articles (of which 70 were included in the review). Findings demonstrated a significant gap in research focusing on the relationship between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses in developing countries, such as South Africa.This evidence gap underpinned the aim of this thesis, which was to study the relationships between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health among South African nurses over time. This aim was achieved by conducting a study investigating these relationships at baseline and one year later.An evaluation of recruitment methods and measurement tools among South African nurses revealed that issuing reminders in addition to face to face recruitment strategies improved response rates by 10%. Nurses were divided into three groups differentiated by method of recruitment to determine the most successful strategy for increasing response rates. This was an important study for this thesis, as nursing research is often characterised by lower response rates and there is little evidence to inform how best to improve response rates among nurses in developing contexts.The abovementioned recruitment methods were then utilised to recruit nurses from two private and two public hospitals in the Gauteng province of South Africa. A total of 895 nurses participated in the study at baseline and 277 of these individuals were followed up with a year later. Findings showed that although stress related to security risks in the workplace predicts job satisfaction as well as general health, stress related to patient care and nursing shortages better predict job satisfaction and general health over time. Burnout better predicts job satisfaction than general health over time.The significance of this thesis is that it provides empirical evidence explaining the nature of relationships over time between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses in a developing context. This is particularly important in the context of a country such as South Africa, where the health system is characterised by high job demands and staffing issues. With limited research informing interventions towards improving the burdened health system, this study can underpin the development of appropriate policy and its implementation in addressing work related stress, burnout and job satisfaction in order to improve the health and wellbeing of nurses. This can be achieved by designing interventions that are aimed at creating better working environments, which will improve job satisfaction and reduce the negative impact of burnout on nurses' health, thereby enabling quality nursing practice and patient care.
