Full textIn 2011, a structured electronic system for the staffing of agency nurses was implemented in the Western Cape as part of the Nursing Information Management System (NIMS). This electronic system was developed to ensure a fair tendering process for the procurement of agency staff, providing information on agency expenditure, maximum wage rates and adherence to principles and rules of supply chain management. Although technology is used more and more in healthcare services within the Western Cape, some professional nurses could lack the skills needed to implement the electronic system appropriately. A descriptive and quantitative design was followed to determine the competence levels of professional nurses in utilising the electronic staffing system for agency nurses in public hospitals in the Metropole, Western Cape. The aim of the study was to develop guidelines for nurse managers according to which they can train professional nurses in hospitals to utilise the electronic system for staffing of agency nurses. Assumptions were adapted from the theoretical framework of Benner (1984) on different levels of competencies and used as theoretical departure of the study. The accessible population for this study was all the professional nurses in hospitals within the Metropole of the Western Cape Government Health registered as users on the database, called the Nursing Information Management System (NIMS) (N=278). This population served as the total inclusive sample for the study. The method of data collection was a self-administered structured questionnaire. The data was analysed by using the SPSS Version 24 software program and descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted.

Full textThe Institute of Medicine (IOM) report To err is human: Building a safer health system raised the very important concern of patient safety. The ultimate goal of this report was to provide a call-for-action that promoted patient safety at the point-of-delivery (Kohn, Corrigan, & Donaldson, 2000). Registered Nurses (RNs) represent the largest discipline providing and coordinating patient care redesign. The aim of creating safe and quality care would not be possible without the presence of competent nurses. Conversely, new graduate nurses are prone to errors due to lack of transitional support from academics to practice. With the growing shortage of experienced RNs nationally, there is a need to evaluate and promote programs to assist in the transition, retention, and recruitment of competent new nurses. Structured residency programs offer a means to increase the competency of newly graduated RNs. This study performed secondary data analysis of the Versant 18-Week Residency Program to provide evidence of the success of this approach in assisting new nurses in their transition from academia to practice.

Thesis, The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10123784.
Full textThe nurse turnover rate continues to rise; currently 17.2%. The challenges of the acute care environment are multifaceted and contribute to nurse turnover. Stressful working conditions may contribute to negative relationships among colleagues; subsequently quality of care can suffer, as well as, job satisfaction and nurse intent to stay. A cross-sectional, correlational study, guided by the Coworker Exchange Theory (Sherony & Green, 2002), used data obtained through a printed survey from a sample of 427 registered nurses.
The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the influence of perceived same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships, quality of care provided, overall nurse job satisfaction, and organizational commitment on intent to stay and job search behavior of nurses in the acute care nurse work environment. Study variables were made operational using six instruments.
Results from path analysis showed that same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships explained 43% of variance in nurse perceived quality of care provided, 21% of variance in overall nurse job satisfaction, and 8% of variance in nurse intent to stay. Overall nurse job satisfaction accounted for 25% of the effect of same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships on nurse perceived quality of care provided and 68% of same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships on nurse intent to stay. Nurse perceived quality of care provided accounted for 71% of same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships on nurse intent to stay.
Findings provide beginning evidence that coworker exchange relationships influence the nurse work environment and nurse turnover. Strategies to address same-status nurse-to-nurse coworker exchange relationships warrant being identified. Organizational leaders may wish to consider allocating resources to build, develop, and maintain improved coworker exchange relationships within the nurse work environment to aid in discouraging nurse job search behavior.

Full textAbstract Critical care nursing is experiencing a high turnover and a global shortage crisis. The number of critical care nurses (CCNs) leaving the critical care environment is at an unprecedented high rate, negatively impacting the quality of care for the most critically ill of patients.. It is not known if and to what extent CCNs resiliency is affected by self-care and how it is associated with compassion satisfaction, interprofessional relationships, professional quality of life, psychological and psychosocial impairment (PPI), or intent to leave the critical care specialty area. The purpose of this quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive project was to ascertain if the independent variable for CCNs self-care had an associative relationship among five dependent variables reflective of CCNs resilience: (a) compassion satisfaction, (b) interprofessional relationships, (c) professional quality of life, (d) PPI, or (e) intent to leave the critical care specialty area. An innovative, web-based CCN self-care intervention was introduced and outcomes measured through the administration of a descriptive survey pre- and post-assessment to determine relational association to the variables of CCNs resilience. The project, though limited by time constraints, inferred CCNs and non-CCNs respondents are interested in self-care and creating healthy critical care environments for safe patient care. Keywords: resilience, critical care, stress management, burnout, compassion
Feather, Rebecca A. "Staff nurse perceptions of nurse manager behaviors that influence job satisfaction." Thesis, Indiana University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3609150.
Full textThe Bureau of Labor Statistics projected a shortage of registered nurses (RNs) growing to an estimated 581,500 by the year 2025 (an increase of 22 percent since 2008). Recent economical downturns have found many healthcare organizations experiencing a positive effect with the stabilization of nursing turnover. Once the economy begins to recover, however, experts predict the profession of nursing will still face the largest shortage in history according to projections by the American Nurses Association. Because lack of job satisfaction is a precursor to resignation, additional research regarding the identification of interventions that increase RN job satisfaction may result in retaining professionally qualified and prepared staff. This study proposed to identify through focus groups, staff nurse perceptions of nurse manager behaviors that influence RN staff nurse job satisfaction. A sample of 28 RNs, each participating in one of five focus groups, answered questions related to satisfaction with nurse manager behaviors. The investigator used qualitative content analysis to identify patterns within and across focus group data.
Major findings of the study resulted in the identification of two conceptual categories (manager behaviors supportive of RNs and RN's perceived disconnect of work issues from the manager's role) and three major themes related to supportive behaviors (communication, respect, and feeling cared for). The results suggest the following as staff nurse preferences for nurse manager behaviors: open and honest communication that involves listening, consistency, and confidentiality; an increased level of respect including fairness and recognition of a job well done; and the sense of feeling cared for as when a manager meets individual needs and supports staff as professionals. The investigator compared the categories and themes to previous tools used in healthcare, which indicate the need for further item and/or tool development as well as further research regarding RNs' perceived disconnect of work issues from the manager's role.

Thesis, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10241295.
Full textNurse residency programs (NRPs) have been identified as a means to promote transitioning of new nurses into the professional nursing role. Questions have arisen related to which elements within those programs are most meaningful to the development of new nurses. As the nursing shortage drives the need for quick transition and development of nurses to meet workforce needs, nursing must identify what is meaningful to nurses in their transition to practice. The purpose of this multi-site study was to explicate meaning from the experiences of newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) who have just completed NRPs. The research question was “What factors have meaning for NLRNs who have experienced transition to practice in nurse residency programs in acute care settings?”
Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from six NLRNs from three different NRPs after completion of their programs. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, themes and variations within those themes were derived from the descriptive narratives provided from participant interviews. Overarching themes identified were Relationships, Reflection, Active Learning, Resources and Organizational Systems. Findings have implications for practice and education as the nursing profession strives to find ways to transform nurses in an effective and efficient manner.
