摘要:

ObjectiveThis study investigates the level of satisfaction of Lebanese nurses in their job and the influence of their personal characteristics.BackgroundGiven the current difficulties experienced by Lebanese hospitals in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of nurses, the need to understand the reasons of nurses’ dissatisfaction became urgent. Moreover, satisfaction at work is essentially a personal experience also affected by cultural factors. Therefore, it was necessary to study the links between personal characteristics and nurses’ dissatisfaction.MethodsThe study included 421 registered nurses. A modified version of Measure of Job Satisfaction, developed by Taynor and Wade, was used to assess the effect of the personal characteristics, namely educational level, age, years of work experience, position, and marital and parental status, on 5 dimensions of satisfaction: personal satisfaction, workload, professional support, pay and prospect, and training.ResultsThe findings suggest that personal characteristics have important influences on nurses’ job perceptions. University graduate nurses reported more dissatisfaction with the quality of supervision and with respect and treatment they receive from their superiors. Nurses younger than 30 years and the technically trained were more dissatisfied with the available opportunities to attend continuing education courses. Results of staff nurses and unmarried nurses showed trends of more dissatisfaction than the married and nurses of higher positions. Moreover, the whole sample perceived that nursing provided a high level of personal satisfaction, but nurses were most dissatisfied with salary and lack of prospects for promotion.ConclusionThe results indicate the importance of personal characteristics on nurses’ retention. Furthermore, intrinsic factors related to the nature and experience of nursing are more job satisfiers than extrinsic factors.

摘要:

In many regions of the country, hospitals are faced with increasingly serious nursing shortages. Many hospitals have developed incentive packages to recruit nurses. However, the literature clearly demonstrates that the nurses’ work environments must be addressed if nurses are to be retained. The authors created a questionnaire to measure registered nurses’ attitudes toward their work environments. Information from this questionnaire can provide timely feedback and enable nurse managers to identify and correct organizational factors that could lead to turnover. The questionnaire takes fewer than 10 minutes for each nurse to complete, and nurse managers can easily calculate the results. The questionnaire can be modified for use in other healthcare facilities.

摘要:

Evidence-based practice guidelines are increasingly used by healthcare professionals to guide patient care and effect positive patient outcomes. These guidelines are usually based on laboratory-based parameters and lack the psychosocial dimensions of patient care. The authors describe the process used by a hospital-based interdisciplinary team to successfully develop evidence-based psychosocial guidelines designed to foster hopefulness in pediatric patients with cancer, their families, and their healthcare providers. From these guidelines, 4 clinical care projects were developed and are described in this article.

摘要:

The demand for knowledgeable and skilled nursing leaders at the first, middle, and executive levels of management in healthcare organizations drove a multiphased project concerning the types of nurse managers that will be needed in the future and their educational needs. In Part 1 (June 2003), national nurse leaders identified the increased need for knowledgeable and skilled nurses in first-line, mid-level, and executive management positions in the healthcare delivery system. This article describes the second Vision 2020 survey of nurse managers in Massachusetts on the current and future demand for nurse managers and their academic preparation and continuing education needs. It concludes with a model curriculum revision for a master’s program in nursing management for the public urban university in Boston.
