Intention to leave, depersonalisation and job satisfaction in physicians and nurses: a cross-sectional study in Europe

The European healthcare sector faces a significant shortage of healthcare workers. Assessing the prevalence of this issue and understanding its direct and indirect determinants are essential for formulating effective recruitment programs and enhancing job retention strategies for physicians and nurses. A multicentric cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 381 physicians and 1351 nurses recruited from eight European hospitals in Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Poland. The study focused on assessing turnover intentions among healthcare workers based on the Job Demands-Resources model, using an online questionnaire. Structural equation models were employed to test the data collection questionnaires’ construct validity and internal consistency. The turnover intention was assessed by agreement with the intention to leave either the hospital or the profession. Among physicians, 17% expressed an intention to leave the hospital, while 9% intended to leave the profession. For nurses, the figures were 8.9% and 13.6%, respectively. The internal consistency of the questionnaires exceeded 0.90 for both categories of health workers. Depersonalization and job dissatisfaction were identified as direct determinants of turnover intention, with work engagement being particularly relevant for nurses. We found a higher intention to leave the hospital among physicians, while nurses were more prone to leave their profession. To mitigate turnover intentions, it is recommended to focus on improving job satisfaction, work engagement and fostering a positive working climate, thereby addressing depersonalisation and promoting job retention.

Assessing the mediation pathways: How decent work affects turnover intention through job satisfaction and burnout in nursing.

This study aimed to assess the potential mediating roles of nurses' job satisfaction and burnout in the association between decent work and turnover intention. There is a global challenge of nursing shortages in healthcare systems worldwide. Decent work is crucial for safeguarding the rights and professional development outcomes of nurses. However, there is currently limited research on decent work among nurses, and there is a lack of studies exploring the relationships between nurses' decent work, job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intention. A cross-sectional survey design was employed with a sample of 460 nurses from three hospitals: The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou Third People's Hospital, and Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital. The STROBE checklist was used. Mediation analysis using the PROCESS Macro was used to examine the relationships between decent work, job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intention. The results showed that nurses' perception of decent work directly influences their turnover intention. Additionally, these findings strongly support the role of job satisfaction and burnout as mediating factors in the relationship between decent work and turnover intention. Decent work reduces nurse burnout and turnover intention of enhancing their job satisfaction. This study's findings have important implications for healthcare organizations and policymakers. Recognizing the pivotal role of decent work in nurses' job satisfaction and well-being can guide the development of strategies to improve working conditions and reduce turnover rates. It is imperative for healthcare institutions to prioritize creating safe, supportive, and equitable work conditions for nurses, as this can contribute to higher job satisfaction and, subsequently, lower turnover rates.

Satisfaction of Paediatric Oncology Patients, Survivors, and Nurses with the Position of Their Totally Implantable Venous Access Port (SPACE-Study)

BackgroundTo compare paediatric oncologic vascular access ports located on the anterior thoracic wall to ports on the lower lateral thoracic wall, in terms of perceived port-related hindrance and scar-quality. MethodsA cross-sectional survey study including paediatric oncology patients (≥8-<19 yrs), caregivers (in patients <8 yrs), survivors (>22 yrs with only anterior ports) and nurses of the Princess Máxima Center, the Netherlands, was performed. The survey consisted of questions regarding satisfaction, hindrance during daily life, and port position preference. For survivors, scar-quality was assessed using the validated Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS 2.0); a high score (i.e., a displeasing scar) was defined as a score higher than the third quartile of the median for that question. ResultsIn total, 147 participants were included; 83 patients/caregivers, 31 survivors, and 33 nurses. Overall, 81 % was satisfied with the position of their port. Satisfaction, hindrance and complications did not differ between anterior and lower lateral ports. For the anterior position, minimal pressure on the port during daily life was a mentioned reason to prefer this position. For the lower lateral position, less visibility of the scar and easiest access were mentioned. Of all survivors with an anterior port scar, one in five had a displeasing scar and all scars observed were widened. Female patients preferred a lower lateral port, and scar-quality was better for left-sided port scars. ConclusionThe port position should be chosen together with patients/caregivers based on the (dis-)advantages of each position, as identified by this study. Level of EvidenceII.

Artificial intelligence-based perioperative safety verification system improved the performance of surgical safety verification execution.

To explore the application effect of the artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) perioperative safety verification system in the performance of safety verification execution in urological and general surgeries. The surgical checklists of 141 urological and general surgical patients from September to December 2019 in Hangzhou Children's Hospital were selected as the control group, and 71 surgical checklists for urological and general surgeries that the applied AI-based perioperative safety verification system from August to September 2022 were chosen as the experimental group. We compared the execution rate and standardization rate of safety verification as well as the satisfaction of surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists between the two groups. The execution rate and standardization rate of surgical safety verification in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). In addition, the satisfaction of surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists was also higher in the experimental group (all P<0.05). The AI-based perioperative safety verification system can improve the execution and standardization rates of surgical verifications, and also enhance the satisfaction of surgical participants.

Perceived organizational politics: Implications for nurses’ stress and job satisfaction

BackgroundPerceived organizational politics is a common phenomenon in almost every organization and is associated with undesirable employee outcomes. Despite numerous studies on this important topic, studies describing the influence of perceived organizational politics on nurses' outcomes (job satisfaction and stress) remain underinvestigated. This study examined the impact of perceived organizational politics on job satisfaction and job stress among nurses. MethodsA quantitative cross-sectional design was used in this study. Two hundred and thirteen (213) nurses participated. Three standardized instruments were utilized: Perception of Organizational Politics, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Job Stress Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. FindingsNurses perceived a high level of organizational politics. We identified a significant correlation between perceived organizational politics, job stress, and job satisfaction in nursing. The results showed nurses' perception of organizational politics had a positive relationship with job stress and a negative relationship with job satisfaction. Managerial implicationHospital management should reconsider the organizational, group, and individual situations that create perceived organizational politics to prevent any unnecessary political behaviors in the hospital. Also, strategies to enhance nursing management and healthcare provision should be directed at reducing the use of politics to promote self-interest. Originality/valueOur study provides a novel insight into the unexplored nature and impact of perceived organizational politics on nurses' job satisfaction and stress in Ghana. It is the first research to investigate organizational politics using nursing population in the Ghanaian context and makes significant contributions to theory and practice.

Humanized nursing care and patient satisfaction in Post-anaesthetic Recovery Units

Introduction: Humanized nursing care refers to a comprehensive, patient-centered approach that seeks to address not only the physical, but also the emotional and psychological needs of the individual during their experience in the health care system. Objective: to describe the relationship between humanized nursing care and immediate postoperative patient satisfaction in Post-Anesthesia Recovery Units. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out using the articles retrieved from the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scielo databases, in the period between July and August 2024. Filters were used to select articles in Spanish and English. A total of 32 references were selected, which specifically fit the topic in question, excluding those with possible biases in their methods. Development: Humanized nursing care and patient satisfaction are topics of increasing relevance in the health field, especially in hospital settings such as the Post-Anesthesia Recovery Unit (URPA). Patient satisfaction, on the other hand, is a key indicator of the quality of care and is closely related to the patient's perception of the care received. Conclusions: The satisfaction and comfort of patients admitted to surgical and post-anesthesia units depends largely on the preparation provided by the nursing staff, which contributes to their prompt recovery. Better preparation is a pillar for optimal care for all those patients seeking relief after a medical intervention that affects their quality of life

Independent and effective care – district nurses’ experiences of prescribing drugs: A systematic qualitative literature review

Numerous countries in the world have chosen to allow district nurses to prescribe drugs to streamline the primary care process. This qualitative, systematic literature study aimed to examine district nurses’ experience of prescribing within primary care. The search followed the PRISMA-P search strategy, and the quality assessment of the nine articles was completed using the review template for assessing studies with qualitative methodology, using GRADE CERQual. The databases CINAHL, Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were used. The result shows that district nurses experience prescribing as crucial for being able to meet patient needs through holistic and person-centered care. Being able to sufficiently and efficiently meet patient needs contributed to increased job satisfaction and professional pride in district nurses. However, district nurses need more collegial support and training in prescribing. The additional burden that the ability to prescribe poses needs to be addressed to prevent limitations in the prescription rights of district nurses. Through an extended prescription right, district nurses can contribute to a more efficient care system that can meet future demand for healthcare services in primary care.

The Mediating Role of Anxiety in the Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Psychosocial Functions of Nurses and Pediatricians in PICUs.

Job satisfaction refers to an individual's overall attitude towards their job. It is influenced by various factors such as work environment, job role, work-life balance, compensation, anxiety, opportunities for growth and development. However, low levels of job satisfaction can have a significant impact on an individual's mental health and overall well-being. We contacted this study in order to assess the effect of PICU nurses' and pediatricians' job satisfaction on their psychosocial functioning and to examine the role of anxiety as a mediating factor in this relationship. A sample of 155 nurses and pediatricians at 7 University Hospitals in Greece has consented to participate in the study. Socio-demographic data, Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire -short form and a Brief Inventory of Psychosocial Functioning were used to evaluate anxiety, job satisfaction and psychosocial functions. According to our results, participants with moderate or severe levels of anxiety showed moderate or low job satisfaction, while moderate or severe anxiety was also associated with low levels of participants' psychosocial functioning. Job satisfaction is a dynamic situation that is affected by the levels of anxiety of each worker in PICU. The presence of anxiety may be related to comorbid mental health disorders since it affects the psychosocial functions of the worker. We propose a longer rest period, a change of department in case an employee wishes it or shows symptoms of increased stress or another mental health disorder, regular assessments by mental health experts for all PICU's staff and support after a diagnosis of a mental health problem.

Burnout and Physical Activity as Predictors of Job Satisfaction Among Peruvian Nurses: The Job Demands-Resources Theory.

The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory suggests that an imbalance between job demands and available resources can lead to burnout, negatively affecting job satisfaction. Physical activity is recognized for its positive effects on psychological well-being and could play a crucial role in mitigating burnout and improving job satisfaction, especially in high-demand professions such as nursing. This study investigates the relationship between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction in Peruvian nurses, using the JD-R theory as a theoretical framework. A cross-sectional and explanatory analysis was conducted on a sample of 420 Peruvian nurses, using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) design to analyze the relationships between burnout, physical activity, and job satisfaction. The instruments included the Ultra-Short Burnout Measure (IUB), the General Job Satisfaction Scale NTP 394, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The findings showed a significant negative correlation between burnout and physical activity (β = -.40, P < .001) and between burnout and job satisfaction (β = -.46, P < .001). Physical activity exhibited a significant positive correlation with job satisfaction (β = .22, P < .001). Moreover, mediation analysis confirmed that physical activity mediates the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction (β = -.106, P < .001). The findings emphasize the importance of physical activity as a mediator in the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among Peruvian nurses, highlighting the need to promote physical activity as a strategy to improve workplace well-being. It is suggested that enhancing access to and promotion of physical activity could mitigate the effects of burnout and improve job satisfaction, which is essential for the quality of care and the well-being of nursing staff. These findings underscore the need for organizational and public health strategies that promote a healthy work environment and balance between the demands and resources available.

PERCEPTION OF NURSING CARE AND SATISFACTION LEVELS OF ORTHOPEDICS AND TRAUMATOLOGY PATIENTS

Introduction: Aging adversely impacts the functioning of the organs of the human body and the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedics and traumatology clinics are a speciality area where services are provided for health issues requiring long-term care and multi-disciplinary teamwork. Consequently, patient–nurse interaction occurs for an extended period. Materials and Metod: This descriptive study aimed to determine the perception of nursing care and satisfaction levels of orthopedics and traumatology patients. The data were collected after face-to-face interviewswith patients who had applied to an orthopedics and traumatology clinic between May 2022 and April 2023 and had undergone surgical procedures. The patient information form, Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale, and Patient’s Perception of Nursing Care Scale were used for data collection. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 65.83±15.90 and 47.6% (n=137) of the participants were catagorized as elderly. The mean score on the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale was 85.01±16.85 and on the Patient’s Perception of Nursing Care Scalewas 64.47±13.26. There was a moderate positive significant relationship between the scores on the Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scaleand Patient’s Perception of Nursing Care Scale (r_s=.391; p&lt;.01). Conclusion: Patients’ satisfaction with nursing care and perception of care were positive. Additionally, as the patients’ satisfaction with nursing care increased, their perception of nursing care also increased. Keywords: Nursing; Perception; Personal Satisfaction; Orthopedics; Patients.

Innovative behavior and organizational innovation climate among the Chinese clinical first-line nurses during the Omicron pandemic: The mediating roles of self-transcendence.

During the Omicron pandemic, clinical first-line nurses played a crucial role in healthcare. Their innovative behavior enhanced the quality of nursing and served as a vital factor in driving the sustainable development of the nursing discipline and healthcare industry. Many previous studies have confirmed the significance of nurses' innovative behavior worldwide. However, the correlations among innovative behaviors, organizational innovation climate, self-transcendence, and their mediating roles in Chinese clinical first-line nurses need further research. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and the quality reporting conformed to the STROBE Checklist. From March 2022 to February 2023, a convenience sample of 1,058 Chinese clinical first-line nurses was recruited from seven tertiary grade-A hospitals of Tianjin city in Northern China. The Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Nurse Innovative Behavior Scale (NIBS), Nurse Organizational Innovation Climate Scale, and the Self-Transcendence Scale were used. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and process plug-in mediation effect analyses. The total scores of innovative behavior, organizational innovation climate, and self-transcendence were 33.19 ± 6.71, 68.88 ± 12.76, and 41.25 ± 7.83, respectively. Innovative behavior was positively correlated with the organizational innovation climate (r = 0.583, p < 0.01) and self-transcendence (r = 0.635, p < 0.01). Self-transcendence partially mediated mediating role between innovative behavior and organizational innovation climate, accounting for 41.7%. The innovative behavior, organizational innovation climate, and self-transcendence among the first-line nurses during the Omicron pandemic were relatively moderate, which needs improving. Organizational innovation climate can directly affect the innovative behavior among Chinese clinical first-line nurses and indirectly through the mediating role of self-transcendence. It is recommended that nursing managers adjust their management strategies and techniques based on the unique characteristics of nurses during the pandemic. This includes fostering a positive and inclusive environment for organizational innovation, nurturing nurses' motivation and awareness for innovation, enhancing their ability to gather information effectively, overcoming negative emotions resulting from the pandemic, and promoting personal growth. These efforts will ultimately enhance nursing quality and satisfaction during the Omicron pandemic.

Personalized Music Therapy for Elderly Patients with Chronic Renal Failure to Improve their Quality of Life and Mental Health: A Retrospective Study.

Chronic renal failure (CRF) poses significant clinical risks. Therefore, attention should be paid to the daily nursing of such patients, and better clinical nursing programs should be provided. The data of 120 patients with CRF at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. After 8 patients were excluded, 112 patients were finally included in this study. The included patients were divided into group A (58 patients receiving clinical routine nursing) and group B (54 patients receiving clinical routine nursing and personalized music) according to different nursing schemes. The anxiety level, depression level, quality of life (QOL), and clinical satisfaction of the patients in both groups were compared before and after nursing. Before the implementation of nursing, no significant difference existed in the levels of anxiety, depression, and QOL between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing, group B had significantly lower levels of anxiety and depression and significantly higher QOL than group A (P < 0.001). No significant difference in clinical nursing satisfaction was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). The implementation of personalized music can improve the QOL and psychological states of patients, with clinical application value.

Abstract Objective For elderly patients, painless gastrointestinal endoscopy can easily induce adverse events. We aimed to evaluate the effects of high-quality nursing interventions on the outcomes and complication rate of elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods A total of 124 patients who received painless gastrointestinal endoscopy from January to December 2022 were selected, 62 of whom admitted between January and June 2022 were included into a conventional nursing group and given traditional basic nursing intervention, and the other 62 admitted between July and December 2022 were assigned into a high-quality nursing group and given high-quality nursing intervention. The intervention outcomes were compared. Results The Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale scores of the high-quality nursing group were lower than those of the conventional nursing group (P&lt;0.05). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate during and after diagnosis and treatment decreased in the high-quality nursing group compared with those in the conventional nursing group (P&lt;0.05). The high-quality nursing group had a lower complication rate and a higher nursing satisfaction rate than those of the conventional nursing group (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion High-quality nursing intervention not only stabilizes the psychological state of elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, but also is beneficial to maintaining stable blood pressure and heart rate.
