Book Description
The purpose of this study was to examine nurses’ perception of the relationship between job satisfaction and quality of care they deliver, and barriers to a quality care. Data for this cross-sectional study was collected using a paper survey developed by the researcher. This 28-item questionnaire assessed nurses’ perception of the relationship between job satisfaction and the quality of care they deliver, and factors that affect the delivery of a quality care and job satisfaction. The questionnaire was distributed to 80 nurses (RNs, LPNs, and nursing assistants) who work in direct patient care at a small Minnesota hospital. Analysis included descriptive and correlation. The research found that there is a positive correlation between nurses’ job satisfaction and quality of care they deliver. The study also found that work-load, staff scheduling and stress to be the most significant factors that affect the delivery of a quality care. Moreover, pay/compensation, work environment and care quality are found to be the factors that affect nurses’ job satisfaction most.

Book Description
"Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/

Assuring the Quality of Health Care in the European Union

Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9289071931

Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
People have always travelled within Europe for work and leisure, although never before with the current intensity. Now, however, they are travelling for many other reasons, including the quest for key services such as health care. Whatever the reason for travelling, one question they ask is "If I fall ill, will the health care I receive be of a high standard?" This book examines, for the first time, the systems that have been put in place in all of the European Union's 27 Member States. The picture it paints is mixed. Some have well developed systems, setting standards based on the best available evidence, monitoring the care provided, and taking action where it falls short. Others need to overcome significant obstacles.

Understanding the Determinants of Job Satisfaction

Pages : 77
Book Description
In a profession where the nursing shortage is well known and inevitable despite of vacancy reprieves, understanding determinants of job satisfaction may now be an essential component of retention strategies. Many factors are causing the health care industry to see the potential significant implications of the nursing shortage. Collaboratively creating an environment of empowerment, autonomy, and lower stress, nurses are content and satisfied. In turn, satisfied nurses can continue to deliver safe and quality patient care. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships among the determinants of job satisfaction. Nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjected job stress were the identified independent variables and job satisfaction was the dependent variable. The following instruments were used to measure the perspective study variables: Collaborative Behavior Scale-B (CBS-B); Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II (CWEQ-II); a subscale from the Index of Work Satisfaction; Subjective Job Stress; and Michigan Organizational Assessment Scale. The hypotheses proposed for the study included: there will be positive relationship between nurse-manager collaboration and job satisfaction; there will be a positive relationship between empowerment and job satisfaction; there will be positive relationship between autonomy and job satisfaction; there will be negative relationships between subjective job stress and job satisfaction; there will be significant relationships among nurse-manager collaboration, empowerment, autonomy, and subjective job stress. The research study was a descriptive correlation study design. A convenience, snowball sample methodology was used. Once correlation was identified, the study variables were further analyzed using multiple regression and dominance analysis. There were significant correlations among the study variables. Empowerment had the strongest correlation to job satisfaction (r = 0.71, p [less than or equal to] 0.05). It explained 50% of the variance in job satisfaction ([lower case beta] = 0.76, p [less than] 0.001). Dominance analysis revealed empowerment is the most importance predicator of job satisfaction (F = 46.57, df = 1, 70; R2 = 0.213). The data supported all hypotheses. A post hoc analysis was conducted to determine if any of the study variables were correlated with nurses' perceptions of unit commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. These three variables were measured with one question on the demographic requesting the respondent to rate each of these variables on a 10-point scale. Several statistically significant correlations were identified. Perception of NMC was highly and significantly correlated to perception of unit's commitment to nurse safety. This validates the desire that safety in nursing practice is affected by how effective the collaboration is between the nurse and the nurse manager. The perception of autonomy was significantly correlated to unit's commitment to patient safety. This may imply that the more the nurse believes that the higher their autonomy (scopespecific decision making power) patient safety increases. These results indicate the relationship between nurses' perceptions of NMC, empowerment, autonomy, SJS, and JS with the nurses' perceptions of the units' commitment to patient safety, quality of work, and nurse safety. This is the first time that such findings have been reported.

The Impact of Care Coordination and Caseload on the Job Satisfaction and Perceived Work-related Stress of Public Health Nurses
Author: Caridad Remy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nursing
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Background: Public health nurses (PHN) work long hours, carry high caseloads, manage with fewer resources, and must deal with increasing technology while ensuring the provision of quality care. Since the time of Lillian Wald, public health nursing has undergone a major transformation in the types of services provided in the community due to the complexity and acuity of the current patient population. PHNs play a significant role in helping patients to effectively manage their illness in order to prevent unplanned hospitalizations. Illness, absenteeism, turnover, and poor job satisfaction are end products of stress. The purpose of this DNP project was to examine the impact of care coordination and caseload on job satisfaction and stress on the PHNs who are providing care to patients in the community. Methods: Descriptive study using mixed methods of data collection and analysis. A purposive sample of nurses who have had experience working in home care and who have provided skilled nursing care for a minimum of one year completed self-reported surveys. Perceived stress was measured with the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale. Job satisfaction was assessed using the Measurement of Job Satisfaction Tool. Analysis of the data collected from the surveys included descriptive and inferential statistics. Correlation coefficients, two-sample t-tests and content analysis were used to summarize the data and compare group differences between nurses with different caseloads. Results: However, due to a small sample size, the correlation and t test results showed inconsistency with content analysis. Content analysis provided more insight and represented more accurately the characteristics of a small sample size. Conclusion/ Clinical relevance: There exists a gap in the research regarding the impact of these factors on PHN and additional research is needed to explore the relationships between work conditions and PHN stress and impact on patient care. The results of this study support the idea that high caseloads impact job satisfaction and stress levels of nurses working in public health. Implementing changes to improve work conditions would provide PHNs with the time needed to focus on quality patient care which would ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes. In addition, the data collected from this project could influence change as it relates to the current model of care delivery in public health.
