Maenhout and Vanhoucke (2010) propose a branch-and-price algorithm by incorporating multiple objectives of the unit efficiency (cost) and personal job satisfaction (nurses' preferences).
Cadre was associated with job satisfaction: Nurses or assistant nurses had lower job satisfaction than medical doctors (β = -0.511).
Our qualitative work [ 19], gave insight to the satisfaction nurses have of being able to carry out clinical work that was directly seen to benefit patients.
With respect to job satisfaction, nurses who scored as satisfied on autonomy and professional opportunities were more likely to report they intended to stay in their profession than nurses who scored as unsatisfied (AOR [95% CI] 2.6[1.2-5.9]).
Burnout, found in front-line human services workers, has important deleterious effects on job satisfaction, nurse turnover, patient satisfaction [ 27].
Only two studies were found to provide evidence of interlinks among patient satisfaction, nursing care rationing and practice environment factors.
The survey contains 118 questions comprising nursing work environment, burnout, job satisfaction, nurse-perceived quality of care, nurse staffing levels (number & education), and a demographics section.
Five different aspects of care was evaluated; hand-over from one nursing shift to another, implementation of universal precautions, patient satisfaction, nursing records, management of chronic illnesses.
Before presenting the findings from the regression models, descriptive statistics were calculated for patient satisfaction, nurse-reported rationing and assessment of working environment.
Although SMR is one aspect of an ICU's performance, we must remind practitioners and administrative managers that there are other aspects of performance, namely patient and family satisfaction, nurse turnover and burnout, costs and organizational issues.
Search terms were nursing shortage, job satisfaction in nursing, stress in nursing, nursing turnover, nursing image, nursing work environment, physical demands of nursing, and nursing faculty shortage.
