Download or read book Factors Influencing Retention of the Experienced Nurse in One Facility for More Than 5 Years written by Zabel Tchavdarian and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine factors that contribute to the retention of experienced RNs in one facility for a period of 5 years or longer. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was utilized as the theoretical frame work in this study. Thirty seven qualified subjects responded (36%). Each nurse answered two questionnaires: a) The Demographic Data Sheet, and b) The Meaningful Retention Strategy Inventory (MRSI) tool. The MRSI was based on 60 questions divided into eight categories of specific retention strategies that experienced nurses consider important factors that helped to contribute to their job satisfaction and decreased turnover. These eight categories are: autonomy, communication, administrative, recognition, working conditions, professional practice, scheduling/staffing, and pay/benefits. The data was then appropriately analyzed using the Pearson (r) correlation and one-way ANOVA. The major finding of this study was that there was no significant relationship between job satisfaction and retention. The overall mean satisfaction score was 3.25 on a 4-point scale which translates to 81.34%, a number that is considered only average. When the respondent's mean ratings were used to rank order the subscales, the highest ranking was: pay/benefits, followed by autonomy, communication, administrative, working conditions, professional practice, recognition, and scheduling. None of these subscales of job satisfaction were correlated to years of retention. Another significant implication of this study was that although experienced nurses' level of satisfaction was considered average, the reason why they remain at their current institutions is due, in large part, to the current adverse economic constraints. The conclusion from this study, therefore, was that there are other factors that determine retention other than just job satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

Download or read book Factors that Contribute to the Retention of Registered Nurses in Their First Position as Graduate Nurses in a Hospital Setting written by Arous Kalenderian and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The objective of the study was to determine the factors that contribute to the retention of new registered nurses in their first employment situation. The hypothesis, which stated that there would be a positive relationship between job satisfaction and retention, was tested on 33 new RNs who worked in one community hospital. Each subject answered two questionnaires: McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale tool that categorized the sources of job satisfaction into eight subcategories and the demographic data sheet. Pearson Product Moment Correlations, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were used as appropriate. The results did not support the hypothesis, that retention was related to job satisfaction. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory was used to explain the findings. The overall nurse satisfaction was rated at 3.57 on a 5 point scale or at the 71.48%. The range was from 63 to 83% level. In spite of the low satisfaction level, nurses tended to stay at their first job. This was possibly due to the current adverse economic conditions of the state of California. A closer look at the eight subscales of satisfaction tool revealed that nurses were happier with their coworkers and level of interaction with other healthcare professionals, and least happy with their lack of opportunity for decision-making and control over the work situation. Implications were made to Nursing Administration to improve the conceptual environment to help improve the work conditions of the new nurses.

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.
Download or read book Maintaining Nurse Satisfaction and Nurse Retention written by Sandra L. Zellner and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health care industry today is focused on providing the best possible care to patients. In order for outstanding and valuable care to be provided, the industry must recruit and maintain a strong nursing workforce. Nurse managers and nurse leaders play a critical role in recruiting, retaining, developing staff, and keeping nurses motivated to learn and provide the best possible care to their patients. Poor nurse satisfaction is known to have a direct impact on patient care. It also increases turnover, which has a huge financial impact on a department (Duffield, Roche, Blay, and Stasa, 2011). This paper will discuss how to acknowledge there is a problem and when management is linked as a contributing factor to nurse satisfaction and offers a proposed solution on what can be done to implement a change before turnover begins to become a problem. It will further discuss the components of the implementation plan, who it will affect, and details about the proposed change. Once the plan is implemented, the paper will outline an in depth evaluation plan that will assess the successes and failures of the proposal. Finally, a dissemination plan will consider ways to publish and distribute the implementation among key stakeholders, such as nursing leaders and managers. It will also discuss disseminating the plan within the nursing community. Research on the subject has been supported by an in-depth review of literature of various research articles, which include peer-reviewed articles and offer both qualitative and quantitative research views.

Download or read book The Factors that Influence the Recruitment and Retention of Registered Nurses in the Home Health Field written by Carolyn A. Ballinger and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive pilot study examined the factors that influence recruitment and retention of the Registered Nurse in the home health field. The sample included 40 female nurses; 25 RNs and 15 LPNs currently employed by a southwest Ohio home health agency. The subjects were randomly selected from an employee pool of 100 RNs and 200 LPNs. Each subject completed both a demographic survey and the Nurses Work Satisfaction Index (Stamps & Piedmonte, 1986). The demographic survey data were assessed through comparative analysis, while the Nurses Work Satisfaction Index raw data were scored quantitatively, and subjected to standard descriptive statistical analysis. The following factors were found to impact recruitment and retention of home health RNs: pay, autonomy level, professional status, interaction with co-workers, task requirements, and organizational policies (in descending order of importance). This finding remains consistent across marital status, age, and area of practice (administrative or client based). The percent of an RN's career spent at the agency was also found to play a potential role in nurse retention, with overall RN job satisfaction falling significantly once the 30% level had been reached. These results were RN specific, and could not be generalized to include the LPN sample.

Download or read book Improving Nurse Retention Healthcare Outcomes written by Judy Thomas, MSN, RN, NEA-BC and published by Sigma Theta Tau. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowering, engaging, and retaining qualified nurses are critical healthcare priorities. Why? Nurse retention is directly correlated to healthcare outcomes, and nurse turnover has a negative, multidimensional effect on healthcare organizations. Turnover affects job satisfaction among clinical nurses, which leads to burnout, making it harder for them to provide safe patient care and achieve overall organizational initiatives. Further, the high costs associated with nurse turnover can have a huge impact on a hospital’s or health system’s profit margin. Improving Nurse Retention & Healthcare Outcomes will help clinical nurses understand how to elevate their practice as frontline care providers and give executives a new, strategic approach to nurse retention. Authors Judy Thomas and Mellisa Renter outline the IMPACT Program they created to stimulate empowerment and professional growth. In addition to explaining the program, how it works, and what it has achieved, this book provides an implementation path to make an immediate impact on nurse empowerment, engagement, and retention.

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: Abstract: The United States is in the midst of a significant nursing shortage that is expected to be exacerbated by the forecasted exponential demand from the Baby Boomer generation. Results of studies conducted on nursing job satisfaction are not often made available to the public. A secondary data analysis from the survey component 2005 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS), administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was conducted. This study aimed to examine the relationships between perceived job satisfaction in nurses and how perceptions have had an effect on recruitment and retention rates. Pearson's Correlation of Coefficients was used to identify significant associations between the Dependent Variable of job satisfaction and a variety of Independent Variables including benefits, staffing and salary. Results of this study identified benefits, salary, work environment and interpersonal relationships to have a significant impact on the level of job satisfaction perceived by a nurse.
