Full textAbstract:
Background: Growing evidence suggests that collaborative practice improves healthcare outcomes, but the precursors to collaborative behavior between nurses and physicians have not been fully explored. Research question: The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to describe the professional values held by nurses and their attitudes toward physician–nurse collaboration and to explore the relationships between nurses’ characteristics (e.g. education, type of work) and professional values and their attitudes toward nurse–physician collaboration. Research design: This descriptive correlational study examines the relationship between nurses’ professional values (Nurses Professional Values Scale–Revised) and their attitudes toward nurse–physician collaboration (Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician–Nurse Collaboration). Ethical considerations: Permission to conduct the study was received from the hospital, and the Institutional Review Boards of the healthcare system and the participating university. Participants/context: A convenience sample of 231 registered nurses from a tertiary hospital in the United States was surveyed. Findings: A significant positive relationship was found between nurses’ professional values and better attitudes toward collaboration with physicians ( r = .26, p < .01). Attitude toward collaboration with physicians was also positively associated with master’s or higher levels of education ( F(3, 224) = 4.379, p = .005). Discussion: The results of this study can be helpful to nurse administrators who are responsible for developing highly collaborative healthcare teams and for nurse educators who are focused on developing professional values in future nurses.

Full textAbstract:
In 2010 National Registration for nurses was established which was likely to impact the role of the maternal and child health nurses (MCH) in Victoria. This study explored the perceived impact of the national changes to the MCH nurse workforce in Victoria following the implementation of national registration and a proposed national service framework. A qualitative exploratory descriptive design was employed with the purpose of exploring the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of Key Stakeholders (KSH) to the recent changes and perceived impact to Victorian MCH nurses. The significance of this study lies with understanding the gaps in current knowledge of KSH to the national changes. Outlined briefly in this paper will be main findings from the KSH. This involved interviewing 12 KSH from management positions, including Local Government Coordinators, Policy Advisors to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, the Municipal Association of Victoria, along with academics from Universities that provide postgraduate Child and Family Health education programs for the MCH nurse qualification. Date was transcribed verbatim and content analysis used. Categories were developed by identifying recurrent patterns from the data, labels were then chosen which reflected the participant’s words: “common standard”; “losing our identity”; “universal service”; “we do it well” and “imposed from above”. Overall the KSH were concerned how the disparity in education and qualifications would be resolved and the effect this would have on the service. Findings from this study highlight the importance of comprehensively investigating services offered by all jurisdictions and using collaboration, communication and leadership to effectively introduce change.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Although nurses and physicians are known to share the common goal of improving the quality of health care, there has traditionally been a relational gap between them. The aim of the present study was to investigate the attitude of Iranian nurses about physician-nurse collaboration and its relationship with their job satisfaction. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 232 nurses were recruited from three educational hospitals of Zanjan University of medical sciences. Three questionnaires were used in this study; (a) Demographic data questionnaire, (2) Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician–Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC), and (3) Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results: In this study, the mean age of the participants was 33.22(SD= 6.13) years, 83.8% of nurses were female, 90.8% had a baccalaureate degree in nursing, and 82.5 % had rotational work shifts. The mean score of physician-nurse collaboration was found to be 48.07 (SD= 8.95) (ranged from 15 to 60), and the mean score of job satisfaction scale was 57.78 (SD = 14.67) (ranged from 20 to 100). There was a significant positive correlation between the attitudes toward physician–nurse collaboration and job satisfaction among the nurses (r=0.59, P≤0.001). Conclusion: The results indicated that the collaboration between nurses and physicians increases the job satisfaction of nurses working in clinical settings. Therefore, nurses and physicians should develop a new culture of collaboration with each other with the mutual goal of high quality patient care. Moreover, health care administrators should implement the strategies that strengthen the development of physician–nurse collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Contents: Nurse Interns need more attention to their self-confidence and self-assessment abilities. Self-assessment is an essential approach for testing their knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Aim: This study aimed to develop a competency self-assessment tool for nurse interns and test its validity and reliability.
Methods: Methodological study for the development of a tool. The study was carried out at Ain-Shams University Hospitals on all 89-nurse interns in the internship year, and a jury group of 21 faculty members and 21 nurse managers for validation. The researchers developed a preliminary self-assessment tool with six selected nursing core competencies presented to the jury group for validation.
Results: The finalized tool had a very high total face CVI-S (0.99). The CVI-S ranged between 0.94 for environmental safety and hazardous materials safety and 1.00 for the content validity's attitude scale. The total scale had a CVI-S as high as 0.98. The tool had excellent overall reliability with a Cronbach alpha coefficient as high as 0.901 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.888. The attitude scale also had excellent reliability with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.965 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.964. In the application of the tool, 95.5% of the nurse interns considered their competencies adequate. In terms of grades, only 32.6% and 10.1% considered themselves having very good and excellent competencies, respectively, and 70.8% had a positive attitude toward self-assessment.
Conclusion: A valid and reliable competency self-assessment tool was developed for nurse interns; it can be applied in various nursing internship programs. It could be used by the administrators of the internship programs to identify the individual learning and training needs of nurse interns. Further studies are proposed to evaluate the utility of the tool in evaluating and improving these programs.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract
Background: Barcode medication administration (BCMA) has been widely implemented in the inpatient setting of hospitals throughout the United States, resulting in lower medication administration errors. Understanding nurses’ attitudes toward BCMA in the Emergency Department (ED) may assist administrators with creating implementation strategies that will improve medication administration process turnaround time and remove barriers to use ensuring increased compliance and improved patient safety.
Methods: The aim of this descriptive research study was to identify Emergency Department nurses’ attitudes towards acceptance of this technology, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Data collection was carried out using an online, cross-sectional survey of nurses (n=55) who were members of the National Emergency Nurses Association of Canada.
Results: The results demonstrated that two-thirds of those surveyed had approximately one year of experience with using BCMA technology. More positive attitudes were found in the following domains: behavioral intent, anxiety, and self-efficacy. Neutral attitudes were perceived regarding facilitating conditions, social influence, and effort expectancy. The most negative attitudes were expressed regarding attitude toward technology and performance expectancy.
Conclusions: The results of this study allow us to conclude that the ED nurse perceived BCMA as easy to master and use and not intimidating or anxiety producing; however, they do not perceive it as useful nor do they perceive it to improve their proficiency or productivity. It is recommended that future studies be conducted on larger samples and also on participants that have had more experience using this technology.

Full textAbstract:
Individual and group beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, competences, and behavioral patterns all contribute to the safety culture of a healthcare company. The study’s goal is to assess nurses’ perceptions of elements that influence patient safety culture in order to promote long-term nursing practice. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was done among a sample of 146 nurses who were recruited from one hospital in Egypt. They completed a self-administered, printed questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed participants’ socio-demographic data and their perception regarding patient safety culture for sustainable nursing practices. The findings revealed that nursing staff had a high perception regarding patient safety culture a with mean score (159.94 ± 7.864). Also, the highest percentage (74.66%) of had no safety events reported yearly. Creating a unit-specific patient safety culture suited to the competences of the unit’s RNs in patient safety practice would be crucial to increasing and sustaining high levels of patient safety attitudes, skills, and knowledge among the unit’s RNs, influencing patient safety. When implementing interventions to promote patient safety and reporting culture in hospitals, policymakers, hospital administrators, and nurse executives should take the current findings into account. A multidimensional network intervention addressing many elements of patient safety culture and integrating different organizational levels should be implemented to enhance patient safety and a no-blame culture.

Full textAbstract:
Research utilising de-identified patient health information extracted from electronic medical records (EMRs) from general practices has steadily grown in recent years in response to calls to increase use of health data for research and other secondary purposes in Australia. Little is known about the views of key primary care personnel on this issue, which are important, as they may influence whether practices agree to provide EMR data for research. This exploratory qualitative study investigated the attitudes and beliefs of general practitioners (GPs), practice managers (PMs) and practice nurses (PNs) around sharing de-identified EMR patient health information with researchers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants (6 GPs, 3 PMs and 2 PNs) recruited via purposive sampling from general practices in Victoria, Australia. Transcripts were coded and thematically analysed. Participants were generally enthusiastic about research utilising de-identified health information extracted from EMRs for altruistic reasons, including: positive effects on primary care research, clinical practice and population health outcomes. Concerns raised included patient privacy and data breaches, third-party use of extracted data and patient consent. These findings can provide guidance to researchers and policymakers in designing and implementing projects involving de-identified health information extracted from EMRs.

Full textAbstract:
Background and objective: Current nursing shortages and low willingness of young people to choose nursing as a career are of major concern in many countries. This study examined the knowledge, attitude and intention towards the nursing profession among high school graduates in China and factors associated with graduate’ intention to enroll in nursing program.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a random sampling. A total of 3764 high school graduates of selected schools in Central China participated in the study. Data were collected with online survey including demographics, knowledge of and attitude towards nursing and intention to choose nursing. Pearson’s correlations and Hierarchical regression analyses were performed.Results: Less than 10% of the participants expressed interest in a future career in nursing. Knowledge and attitude about nursing were positively associated with intention to study nursing. Both patents’ education, family income and attitude significantly predicted intention to study nursing in the hierarchy regression model (p < .001).Conclusions: Recruitment and retention strategies need to focus on addressing improving knowledge about the roles of nurse among high school students. Nursing administrators and educators should provide information about nursing profession on Websites and social media or programs for high school students with early clinical exposure to nursing to increase their knowledge and change their attitudes toward nursing.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one strategy that enables clinicians to succeed in handling emerging literature, and integrating it to achieve high-quality patient outcomes. Although beneficial and innovative it is not considered a priority by many. Most nurses have little, if any, exposure to the clinical research process.
Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a baseline assessment of perceived knowledge, attitude toward EBP, and barriers to adopting EBP in nursing.
Methods: The study used a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative design. A convenient sample of 406 nurses participated and completed the EBP questionnaire. For ethical clearance, granted approval from Hospitals’ Research Ethics Committee and to HAU-IRB.
Results: Nurses (n = 156, 38.4%) believes that EBP holistically is composed of patient data and preference, healthcare professionals’ skills, and research findings. They (n = 256, 63%) have a positive attitude towards EBP and are willing to accept new healthcare strategies based on research. But expresses less confidence (M = 3.90, SD = 0.64) in identifying clinical issues/problems and translate these into a well-crafted clinical question. They perceived themselves to possess moderate levels of skills to undertake different EBP activities (M = 3.76, SD = 0.61). Knowledge (x(4) = 12.174, p = 0.02), attitudes toward EBP (U = 13947.5, p = 0.04) were significantly better among nurses who had previous EBP training. Similarly, respondents with EBP-related training are more confident in integrating EBP into their practice (U = 13408, p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Nurses’ highest level of education and years of clinical experience affects their implementation skills in adopting EBP. The study reflected the benefits of training, continuing education, and length of experience in the acquisition of skills. Findings can serve as a basis for developing programs to improve nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards EBP. Nurse administrators can create policies that address barriers identified in the study.

Full textAbstract:
Employee engagement is a topic that has been widely studied over the course of the past 30 years. Its potential value to healthcare organizations has only begun to be recognized within the most recent decade. Numerous studies have been conducted which demonstrate that increased employee engagement contributes to improved patient outcomes, including decreased mortality and hospital acquired conditions as well as increased patient experience scores. Despite the plethora of literature available documenting the drivers of, barriers to, and outcomes associated with employee engagement hospitals have struggled to gain traction in increasing their scores. Many experts in employee engagement posit that this could be due to a lack of consistent conceptualization of the phenomenon.
This qualitative descriptive study was conducted to understand the perceived attitudes and behaviors of the nurses who are engaged in their work from the perspective of both their peers and leaders. Sixteen total participants were interviewed utilizing a semi-structured interview guide with questions that were derived from Arnold Bakker’s evidence-based model of work engagement. Content analysis was utilized to identify themes and sub-themes from each of the participant group’s responses to each of the questions. There were minimal differences in the responses of the direct-care RNs as compared to the nurse leaders regarding their perceptions of the engaged nurse. Resulting themes were then synthesized and four overarching themes identified. Overarching themes were personal style, extra-role behavior, commitment to the patient, and leadership.
Participant responses supported Bakker’s model, but highlighted the engaged nurse’s personality as a significant and widely overlooked contributor to engagement. By recognizing the personal attributes inherent to the engaged nurse hospitals may better understand the traits important to the recruitment of nurses who are more likely to be engaged in their work. Effective recruitment and retention of a highly engaged workforce will allow organizations to benefit from the extra-role work often demonstrated by the engaged nurse and realize improved patient outcomes as a result.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the attitudes and perceptions of nurse managers regarding cost containment issues in selected public hospitals in the Port Elizabeth metropole of the Eastern Cape. Four hospitals participated in the study, and 211 nurse managers completed questionnaires. The results obtained from the participants’ responses indicated that:
✦ Nurse managers are ill-prepared for many responsibilities regarding cost containment, and need appropriate orientation and preparation both during their initial formal, and during their nurse management and in service training in order to fulfil their “financial” or cost containment role more effectively.
✦ Nurse managers perceived the relationship between the productivity of staff and cost containment positively, but were reportedly unable to
• prevent nurses from leaving their points of duty
• curb the rate of absenteeism among nurses
• reduce the number of resignations
✦ Nurse managers suggested that more effective hospital cost containment efforts should ensure that
• effective security checks are performed to curb losses of stock and equipment
• more public telephones are installed in hospitals
• stricter controls regarding wheelchairs are implemented
The rationalisation of staff and services, as well as specialised equipment among the four public hospitals could enhance these hospitals’ cost containment results. However, this would necessitate reorganising these hospitals’ services at provincial level.
The nurse managers required more knowledge about hospitals’ financial management and cost containment issues. Guidelines for such a course were developed addressing: analysis of monthly variance reports; budgeting for manpower; balance statement; calculations for the supplies and expenses budget; income statements; the hospital’s budgetary cycle; break-even analysis; analysis of cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis.ADVANCED NURSING SCIENCES

Text in EnglishThe purpose of the study was to explore the registered nurse’s perceptions with regard to the use of authority by nurse managers in the workplace. A qualitative approach using phenomenological descriptive design was used. Data was collected by means of audio-taped individual interviews and field notes. The sample included registered nurses aged 25-45 years with more than two years’ experience. Ethical issues were adhered to. The data was analysed using content analysis as proposed by Creswell (2013). Five themes and seventeen subthemes emerged from the data. The findings revealed that the registered nurses were unhappy with the way authority is being used, their non-involvement in decision-making; lack of two way communication between nurses and managers; poor relationship between nurses and health service managers which hindered nurses’ opportunity for growth. Autonomy is a major determinant of nurse job satisfaction, and failure to apply it may lead to high turnover and absenteeism.
