The development of the Measure of Job Satisfaction (MJS) for use in a longitudinal study of the morale of community nurses in four trusts is described The review of previous studies focuses on the use of principal component analysis or factor analysis in the development of measures The MJS was developed from a bank of items culled from the literature and from discussions with key informants It was mailed to a one in three sample of 723 members of the community nursing forums of the Royal College of Nursing A 72% response rate was obtained from those eligible for inclusion Principal component analysis with varimax rotation led to the identification of five dimensions of job satisfaction, Personal Satisfaction, Satisfaction with Workload, Satisfaction with Professional Support, Satisfaction with Pay and Prospects and Satisfaction with Training These factors form the basis of five subscales of satisfaction which summate to give an Overall Job Satisfaction score Internal consistency, test‐retest reliability, concurrent and discriminatory validity were assessed and were found to be satisfactory The factor structure was replicated using data obtained from the first three of the community trusts involved in the main study The limitations of the study and issues which require further exploration are identified and discuss

摘要:

This paper is a critique of naive realism, the philosophy which animates much nursing research, and which leads researchers to assume that the attainment of objective knowledge is possible The nature of naive realism, and its relationship to objectivity, is discussed Central to this outlook is the belief that the values and interests of the researcher can and should be divorced from the prosecution of research This is reflected in the literary convention of referring to the researcher in the third person Contrary to this position, I argue that the interpretations, values and interests of the researcher are central to the research process Moreover, nursing research may be affected by the interests of managers, educationalists, and those who wish to see nursing attain professional status Nursing researchers should accept that they are part of the social situations which they study They should therefore become reflexive in their outlook This entails recognizing and attempting to understand the effects of the researcher, rather than trying to eliminate or ignore them

摘要:

The findings of a three‐round Delphi survey, conducted to explore the role of the British nurse teacher as it emerges within Project 2000 programmes, are discussed The panel of experts comprising 201 grade 2 nurse teachers was drawn from the 25 of the 28 colleges in England who had implemented Project 2000 between September 1989 and April 1991 The findings highlight the complex and multifaceted role of the nurse teacher and the changes which are occurring in the role Currently, the main changes are related to teaching and learning activities These emphasize the depth, level and specialist nature of the teaching, and teaching on a variety of courses at diploma and degree level Assessment activities are given the highest overall rating as important, and recruitment activities the lowest, in both the current and future roles Educational management and administrative activities are found to be numerous and currently do not appear to be declining The few changes that have occurred to the administrative areas have been replaced with similar activities Another important area for the future was perceived to be research activity In view of the developing partnership with higher education in the United Kingdom, this is not a surprising findi
