Full textThe purpose of this study is to describe newly graduated nurses’ self-reported perception of competence at the commencement of their first job as a registered nurse. Participants were new graduate nurses starting their first job in nursing in the acute care setting. Data was collected using the Nurse Professional Competence scale (Nilsson et al., 2014) between November 2016 and June 2017 in one hospital network. The tool includes eight areas of competence which are divided into two themes. Theme one is patient related nursing and theme two is nursing care organization and development. The survey was administered in a paper and pencil format at the start of the nursing orientation program. Demographic data collected included gender, age, months since licensed, highest nursing degree and prior work experience in health care. Findings revealed that nurses perceived themselves as most competent in the areas of value-based nursing care, teaching/learning support, and legislation in nursing and safety planning and least competent in the area of education and supervision of staff and students. Theme one competencies’ scores were higher than theme two competencies. There was a statistically significant finding among nurses who graduated with an accelerated BSN degree as compared to those with an ADN degree in the competence areas of medical technical care (p=0.040) and teaching learning support (p=.007). In addition, those nurses who had prior pre-licensure experience in healthcare related clerical roles had a statistically significant (p=.040) difference in the leadership and development in nursing competence area as compared to those with experience in other health care related jobs. The results of the study provide guidance to academia and practice in identifying new graduates’ areas of strengths and weaknesses to ensure safe entry-level nursing practice.

Full textThe recent impetus to increase the number of baccalaureate-prepared nurses comes from within and outside the profession, prompting increased numbers of registered nurses (RN-BSN) to return to college. Yet little is known about what these adult, non-traditional students do to prepare for the challenges ahead. Therefore, the purpose of this mixed-methods case study was to learn how RN-BSNs prepare for their return to college, why they go about doing so, and what resources they utilize. Secondly, what are the gaps, how do they overcome them, and what is their advice to potential RN-BSN students so they could be better prepared. The Transtheoretical Model and the Epidemiological Model were used to guide the study. The eight participants interviewed ranged in age (32-57). Each had contemplated the return to school since their initial nursing program. Six were enrolled at a rural satellite site at their place of employment. While participants prepared in a variety of ways, findings showed they also did not know what to expect and thus felt unprepared in many respects. The most common type of preparation was mental; whereas the most frequent gap in preparation was academic, including writing papers, presentation skills, computer literacy, citations, obtaining books, information literacy, and study skills. Overall, five themes summarized their advice to future students: (a) obtain academic skills early on, (b) find balance, (c) make connections, (d) embrace the difference, and (e) don't wait; make the decision. Based on the findings, examples of recommendations that are both practical and affordable are outlined.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Managing human resources is crucial to the efficient and effective delivery of quality health care. However, turnover of nurses constitutes a major factor in the shortages of staff which are being experienced by the nursing profession in the Republic of South Africa. Shortages of trained nurses with experience, particularly in public sector hospitals, have adverse effects on the provision of efficient and effective quality health care to the consumers of this service. The aim of the study was to provide an understanding of and insight into those inherent problems in the health sector that propel nurses to leave public sector institutions. The overall objective was to investigate and identify some of the factors which exercised an influence on the turnover of registered nurses in public sector hospitals, so as to be able to provide suggestions to hospital managers on the more effective management of human resources, in order to retain nursing personnel. Theresearch was based on a model of nursing turnover which regarded voluntary withdrawal as a process in which feelings of satisfaction with pay, on the one hand, and the opportunity of obtaining alternative jobs in the labour market, on the other, were proposed as the primary causative factors of turnover behaviour. In addition the propositions, made in literature reviewed, that age, tenure, kinship responsibility, general training, education, professionalism, marital status, lintent to stay', job satisfaction, routinization, job autonomy and responsibility, instrumental communication, promotional opportunity, integration, supervisory relationships, distributive justice, work-load, and local kin acted as predictors of turnover, were also investigated. The research was conducted with a sample of 123 nurses in one hospital, Groote Schuur, situated in the Western Cape Province of the Republic of South Africa. The sample included registered nurses, senior professional (registered) nurses, and chief professional (registered) nurses. The data was gathered from respondents by means of a selfadministered questionnaire. In addition, data was gathered by means of semi-structured, open-ended discussions with nursing management. The hypothesised interactions between variables influencing nursing turnover were explored by means of basic statistics, which made it possible to assess the effects of both independent and dependent variables. The results of data analysis provided some support for the proposition contained in the hypothesis. The determinants whose increase produced a greater degree of turnover were firstly, the many jobs available outside the hospital and secondly, professionalism. The determinants whose increase resulted in reductions in turnover were "intent to stay" (which the researcher views as a dimension of commitment), the existence of local kin (kinship responsibilities), participation in making job-related decisions (job autonomy), the receipt of sufficient work-related information (instrumental communication and good supervisory relationships), and tenure. The determinants whose decreaseresulted in increased turnover werepromotional opportunities, distributive justice, pay satisfaction, job satisfaction, integration, opportunity for self-development,age and tenure. Turnover of nurses has serious ramifications for employers, patients, and the nursing profession itself. Effective management of employee turnover is of critical importance to health care providers, employees, and patients. Better control of turnover can improve the quality of patient care, reduce labour costs, and improve employee morale.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bestuur van menslike hulpbronne is die deurslaggewende omstandigheid ten einde die lewering van effektiewe en doeltreffende gesondheidsorg van gehalte. Nietemin, dra die omset van verpleegkundiges grotendeels by tot die personeeltekort wat tans deur die verpleegprofessie in Suid-Afrika ondervind word. Die tekort aan ervare, opgeleide verpleegkundiges, veral in die openbare sektor staatshospitale, het 'n nadelige uitwerking op die voorsiening van effektiewe en doeltreffende gesondheidsorg van gehalte aan die verbruikers van hierdie diens. Die doelwit van die studie was om 'n begrip te ontwikkel vir, en 'n insig te probeer kry in, daardie inherente probleme binne die gesondheidsektor wat verpleegkundiges dryf om die staatsinstellings te verlaat. Die oorkoepelende doel was die ondersoek en identifikasie van sommige faktore wat die omset van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges in staatshospitale beïnvloed. Die doel hiervan was om voorstelle aan hospitaal bestuurders te kan voorsien ten opsigte van die meer doeltreffende bestuur van menslike hulpbronne, in die strewe na behoud van verpleegpersoneel. Die navorsing is gebaseer op 'n model van verpleegomset wat vrywillige onttrekking as 'n proses beskou het waar gevoelens van salaristevredenheid, aan die een kant, en geleentheid tot alternatiewe betrekkings in die arbeidsmark, aan die ander, as die primêre veroorsakende faktore van omset-gedrag voorgestel is. Daarbenewens is die stellings vanuit die literatuurstudie dat die volgende dien as voorspellers van omset ook ondersoek: ouderdom, ampstermyn of dienstyd, verantwoordelikheid teenoor familie, algemene opleiding, opvoeding, professionalisme, huwelikstatus, 'voorneme om te bly', werksbevrediging, roetine, selfbestuur en verantwoordelikheid in die werksomgewing, bevorderlike kommunikasie, bevorderingsgeleenthede, integrasie, toesighoudende verhoudings, toedelende gereg, werkslading en plaaslike naasbestaandes. Die navorsing is uitgevoer met gebruik van 'n monster van 123 verpleegkundiges van een hospital, die Groote Schuur Hospital, geleë in die Wes-KaapProvinsie van die Republiek van Suid Afrika. Die monster het geregistreerde verpleegkundiges, senior geregistreerde verpleegkundiges en hoof geregistreerde verpleegkundiges ingesluit. Die data is verkry van respondente deur middel van 'n self-toegediende vraelys. Daarbenewens is data versamel deur half-gestruktureerde, niegeslote besprekings met van die verpleegbestuur. Die interaksie tussen veranderlikes ten opsigte van verpleegomset wat veronderstel is, is ondersoek deur middel van basiese statistiek, dus kon die uitwerking van afhanklike en onafhanklike veranderlikes bepaal word. Die uitslae van data-ontleding het wel ondersteuning verleen aan die voorstelling soos uiteengesit in die hipotese. Die determinante wie se toename 'n toename in die omsetkoers tot gevolg gehad het was, eerstens, meer werksgeleenthede buite die hospitaal en, tweedens, professionalisme. Die determinante wie se toename tot 'n vermindering in omset bygedra het was 'voorneme om te bly' (wat die navorser as binne die omvang van toewyding beskou), deelname aan werksverwante besluitneming (werks outonomie), die ontvangs van genoegsame werksverwante inligting (bevorderlike kommunikasie en goeie toesighoudende verhoudings), en ampsduur (dienstyd). Die determinante wat tot 'n vermindering in omset lei is bevorderingsgeleenthede, toedelende gereg, salaris bevrediging, geleenthede tot self-ontwikkeling, ouderdom en ampsduur. Die omset van verpleegkundiges het verreikende gevolge vir werkgewers, pasiënte en die verpleegsberoep self. Doeltreffende bestuur van werknemer-omsetis van kritiese belang vir gesondheidsorg voorsieners, werknemers en pasiënte. Die meer effektiewe beheer van omset kan die kwaliteit van pasiëntesorg verbeter, arbeidsonkoste verminder en die moraal van werknemers verbeter.

Full textThe Baccalaureate Nursing program in San Antonio, Texas experienced a decrease in National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) on the first attempt for students graduating between 2009 and 2014 without a clear explanation for the decline. The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental correlational study was to analyze retrospective data from the school of nursing in San Antonio to determine the extent to which multiple variables (age, gender, race/ethnicity, cumulative pre-nursing GPA, cumulative GPA of nursing courses, remediation, and the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) examination predicted NCLEX-RN performance. The research question was: Is the ATI comprehensive examination a significant predictor of the NCLEX-RN performance of graduating nursing students in the San Antonio, Texas nursing program, either (a) on its own; or (b) in combination with other independent variables. The statistical problem was directed toward identifying the significant variables that predicted the NCLEX-RN performance of graduating nursing students between 2009 and 2014 using binary logistic regression analysis. The proportion of N = 334, nurses who passed the NCLEX-RN was n = 232, 69.5%. The answer to the research question, based on odds ratios (OR) was that NCLEX-RN performance could not be predicted solely by using the ATI predictor examinations. The ATI examination score was the strongest predictor of passing the NCLEX-RN (OR = 1.59) Ethnicity (OR = 1.38) and the combined pre-nursing and nursing GPA (OR = 1.28) were also found to be predictors of NCLEX-RN performance. The proportions of NCLEX-RN failures and need for remediation were highest among the African-American students. The gender and age of the students were not significant predictors of NCLEX-RN performance. The results of this research can be utilized by the San Antonio nursing program, as well as other nursing programs, to identify and address the factors identity of those graduating nursing students who are at risk of failing the NCLEX-RN. The researcher has shown that the predictor variables of the ATI predictor examination, cumulative college and nursing GPA’s, and ethnicity have a statistically significant correlation and therefore have impact on first time NCLEX-RN test takers passing the exam. It is recommended that Bachelor Degree Programs in Nursing focus on specific strategies within their institutions that would have a direct impact on these variables.

Full textBackground: In the early 1990’s Uganda suffered from a HIV-epidemic and was one of themost effected countries in Sub-Sahara Africa. However, from 1990 - 2010, the level of HIVinfected people dropped from 18 to 6 % due to awareness raising and less high-risk behaviorssuch as unsafe sex. Today, Uganda has one of the highest levels of newly infected people.Young adults in the ages 15 - 24 years old are the most exposed group to get infected withHIV in Uganda. Counseling is a common task in nursing all around the world. Although thespecifics of how counseling is performed could differ, the main goal is to reduce the numberof high-risk behaviors and motivate the person to engage in safe sex, including sexual contactand use of condoms.Aim: The purpose of this study is to describe nurses’ experiences of counseling young adultsabout HIV.Method: A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews at Lubaga hospital in Kampala,Uganda. 12 registered nurses were interviewed from three wards at the hospital, the materialwas transcript and then analyzed with an inductive qualitative content analysis approachinspired by Burnard.Results: Four themes were identified: a complex environment to counsel young adults in,young adult’s efforts to self-care, socio-economic challenges linked to HIV and young adult’sfeelings associated with HIV. Moreover, 11 categories emerged through the themes.Conclusion: Registered nurses experience both factors that burdens and facilitate counseling.In conclusion, young adults fear of HIV, HIV-related stigma and socioeconomic factors posean obstacle when counseling young adults about HIV and young adults’ resources makescounseling easier.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to determine the level of job satisfaction of Registered nurses in Muscat and relationships to Herzberg's motivation and hygiene factors. The theoretical underpinning of this study is based on Herzberg's concepts, in which an individual's motivation and hygiene factors are met within an organization, to the extent that the individual employee will express in job satisfaction. A descriptive, nonexperimental research design was used. The Work Quality Index and a demographic survey were given to 202 registered nurses at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) and Royal Hospital (RH) in Muscat. The data was collected over three weeks and was analyzed, using descriptive statistic, t-test, ANOVA for independent mean, and correlation statistics as appropriate. The results indicate that nurses in the two hospitals had a moderate level of job satisfaction. It also proves that motivation factors and hygiene factors are significantly correlated with job satisfaction, meaning that the fulfillment of both types of factors determines the overall job satisfaction of the nurses.

Background and Purpose: Registered nurses (RN’s) are well positioned to provide physical activity counseling (PA counseling) to their hospital patients. RNs educate during ‘teachable moments” as hospital patients often find themselves in a state of readiness to make lifestyle changes such as increases in regular physical activity. Although the health benefits of physical activity are well documented, PA counseling has not been well studied among the nursing population or in the hospital environment. The main purpose of this study was to identify the percentage of RNs who provide PA counseling to their patients and to explore the factors which contribute to their decisions to provide PA counseling. Methods: A web-based survey was used to gather information from 323 hospital-based RNs employed at five hospitals in four states. The survey gathered information including current physical activity levels, thirteen perceived barriers to physical activity based on the Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale, and information regarding whether RNs provide PA counseling to their hospital-based patients. Results: RNs reported an average of 3.3 barriers to being physically active. One hundred and eighty- seven RNs provided PA counseling to their patients (57.8%) and 133 did not provide PA counseling (41.1%). The presence of barriers to being physically active was related to PA counseling for nine of the thirteen barriers. The following hypotheses were supported: 1) RNs who report lower levels of perceived barriers to being physical active were more likely to provide PA counseling than those who report higher levels of perceived vigorous physical activity were more likely to provide PA counseling than those who reported lower levels of light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity. Conclusion: The findings from this study revealed RNs who are physically active and report fewer barriers to physical activity were more likely to provide PA counseling to their hospital-based patients. Future research needs to address types and quality of PA counseling as well as utilize theory driven intervention designs.
Woodruff, Richard A. "The Eustress Experience of Registered Nurses| A Grounded Theory Study." Thesis, Capella University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10823583.
Full textThe following study explored the experiential eustress accounts of nurses within a hospital work environment. Previous literature found some level of connection between eustress and hope, self-efficacy, collaboration, resilience, and self-perceptions of health. However, the previous literature was attempting to explore and explain a cognitively appraised construct, eustress, without first gathering experiential accounts of the construct from participants. This may have altered the discoveries previously made and necessitates the following research. The current study produced data that helped to address the gap in the previous literature relevant to the guiding research question: What is the eustress experience of RNs in organizational contexts? The constructivist grounded theory method was used to answer the research question. The current study explored the experiential accounts of 12 Registered Nurses (RN) from a hospital within the Western US. All participants were RNs, female, aged 25-65 and having various experience levels (5 to 43 years). Various levels of grounded theory coding were used on the data to produce three models and a theory. The current study found that the participants explained eustress differently than the terminology used in previous literature. All accounts of eustress were directly connected to intense situations (highly stressful experience) that had positive outcomes. These eustress experiences altered the RNs in self-reported beneficial ways, ranging from enhancing confidence, resilience, and professional growth to changing motivation, altering professional perceptions, and changing how they felt about stress in general. The presence of a collaborative, open-minded, and trustworthy team was also noted as having a profound effect on participant recollections of eustress.
