RESEARCH STUDIES
JOB SATISFACTION AND TURNOVER AMONG NURSES:
INTEGRATING RESEARCH FINDINGS ACROSS STUDIES
Abstract
A meta-analytic study investigated the causal relationships among job
satisfaction, behavioral intentions, and nurse turnover behavior. A
theoretical model was proposed in which behavioral intentions were viewed
as a direct antecedent to turnover behavior. Job satisfaction was expected to
be indirectly related to turnover by virtue of the mediating role of behavioral

62.
intentions. Consistent with these expectations, a strong positive relationship
was indicated between behavioral intentions and turnover; a strong negative
relationship between job satisfaction and behavioral intentions; and a small
negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover. The results of
the modifier analysis suggested that effect sizes are fairly robust to
differences in study designs, response rates, and methods of measuring job
satisfaction, but the manner in which behavioral intentions were
operationalized appeared to moderate the relationship between behavioral
intentions and turnover and job satisfaction. Of variables related to nursing
job satisfaction, work content and work environment had a stronger
relationship with job satisfaction than economic or individual difference
variables.
THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY NURSING CARE: A GROUNDED
THEORY STUDY OF THE NURSE’S PERSPECTIVE
This grounded theory study explored and described the delivery of quality
nursing care from the perspective of nurses. Data were gathered by tape
recorded interviews, published literature and some participant observation.
Ten registered nurses from an acute-care public hospital located in Perth,
Western Australia were interviewed. Twelve additional transcripts from
interviews conducted by postgraduate students were also used. Quality
nursing care was perceived to relate to the degree to which patients’
physical, psychosocial, and extra care needs were met. The consequences of
quality care were interpreted as ‘therapeutic effectiveness’, where the
therapy provided by nurses was perceived to positively affect patients’

63.
healing. This was gauged by the patient’s psychosocial and physical
response to illness, safety, and satisfaction. Therapeutic effectiveness was
facilitated by the development of positive relationships between nurses and
patients, nurse’s positive attributes and competent practices, as well as a
functional nursing team. The problem of nurses’ inability to consistently
provide quality nursing care to all patients was identified. Insufficient time
(caused by a lack of human and physical resources) was perceived as the
main reason for this. Dissatisfaction and stress in nurses was related to this
problem. To deal with this, nurses used a process named ‘selective
focusing’. Work was planned to most effectively utilize the time available,
within the parameters of safety. Implications for nursing practice, education
and management are discussed, and directions for further research are
provided.
NURSE-STAFFING LEVELS AND THE QUALITY OF CARE IN

Background It is uncertain whether lower levels of staffing by
nurses at hospitals are associated with an increased risk that patients
will have complications or die.
Methods We used administrative data from 1997 for 799
hospitals in 11 states (covering 5,075,969 discharges of medical
patients and 1,104,659 discharges of surgical patients) to examine the

64.
relation between the amount of care provided by nurses at the hospital
and patients' outcomes. We conducted regression analyses in which
we controlled for patients' risk of adverse outcomes, differences in the
nursing care needed for each hospital's patients, and other variables.
Results The mean number of hours of nursing care per patient-
day was 11.4, of which 7.8 hours were provided by registered nurses,
1.2 hours by licensed practical nurses, and 2.4 hours by nurses' aides.
Among medical patients, a higher proportion of hours of care per day
provided by registered nurses and a greater absolute number of hours
of care per day provided by registered nurses were associated with a
shorter length of stay (P=0.01 and P<0.001, respectively) and lower
rates of both urinary tract infections (P<0.001 and P=0.003,
respectively) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (P=0.03 and
P=0.007, respectively). A higher proportion of hours of care provided
by registered nurses was also associated with lower rates of
pneumonia (P=0.001), shock or cardiac arrest (P=0.007), and “failure
to rescue,” which was defined as death from pneumonia, shock or
cardiac arrest, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis, or deep venous
thrombosis (P=0.05). Among surgical patients, a higher proportion of
care provided by registered nurses was associated with lower rates of
urinary tract infections (P=0.04), and a greater number of hours of
care per day provided by registered nurses was associated with lower
rates of “failure to rescue” (P=0.008). We found no associations
between increased levels of staffing by registered nurses and the rate
of in-hospital death or between increased staffing by licensed practical
nurses or nurses' aides and the rate of adverse outcomes.

65.
Conclusions A higher proportion of hours of nursing care provided
by registered nurses and a greater number of hours of care by
registered nurses per day are associated with better care for
hospitalized patients
SUMMARY
Till now we have discussed about the duties and responsibilities of
various categories of nursing personnel that includes aims of nursing
personnel management, objectives of nursing personnel, various categories
of personnel – clinical or institutional level, college level, school level and at
community level.
