Anestesisjuksköterskans arbetsglädje : En intervjustudie om anestesisjuksköterskors arbetsglädje / Nurse anaesthetist job satisfaction : An interview study on nurse anaesthetist job satisfactionQuick, Joakim, von Schoultz, Björn January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Det är fastställt i tidigare studier att sjuksköterskans arbetsglädje direkt påverkar omvårdnadsnivån och att det är flera faktorer som påverkar dennes arbetsglädje. Forskning saknas beträffande vad som ger specialistutbildade anestesisjuksköterskor arbetsglädje. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva vad som skapar och hur anestesisjuksköterskor ser på arbetsglädje. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ design där datainsamlingen genomfördes via åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer, dataanalysen genomfördes genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Åtta områden relevanta för anestesisjuksköterskans arbetsglädje presenteras; psykosocial arbetsmiljö, fysisk arbetsmiljö, god omvårdnad, kompetensutveckling, ledning, självständighet, arbetstider och personalomsättning. Ett nionde område, lön, utreddes men visade sig inte vara direkt kopplat till arbetsglädje Slutsats: Arbetsglädje visade sig vara en viktig faktor för att anestesisjuksköterskan ska trivas med sitt arbete. Det är därför viktigt att arbeta med dessa områden som ger arbetsglädje från flera håll för att underlätta anestesisjuksköterskans arbetsglädje. / Background: It has been established in earlier studies that the nurse's job satisfaction directly affects the level of nursing and that there are several factors that affect nurse’s job satisfaction. There is no research on what gives specialist educated nurse anaesthetist job satisfaction. Aim: The purpose of the study was to describe what creates and how nurse anaesthetist look at job satisfaction. Method: The study was conducted using qualitative design. The data was collected thru eight semi-structured interviews, data analysis is conducted through qualitative content analysis. Results: Eight areas relevant for nurse anesthetists was presented; psychosocial work environment, physical work environment, nursing care, skill development, management, independence, working hours and employee turnover. A ninth area, salary, was also investigated but was not found to be directly related to work satisfaction. Conclusion: Job satisfaction is an important factor for the anesthetist nurses to enjoy their work. It is therefore important to work with these areas that provide job satisfaction from several directions to facilitate the job satisfaction of the anesthetist nurse.

The Lived Experiences of School Nurses: Transitioning From Hospital to School WorksiteCampbell, Irene 01 January 2017 (has links)
School nurses who transition from hospital or clinic-based settings to a school-based work environment often lack sufficient transitioning skills and orientation to cope with the roles and responsibilities of school-based nursing. The result is a high attrition rate among school-based nurses. School nurses may leave their positions due to experiences of marginalization, including isolation, role confusion, and barriers to practice. In this phenomenological study, the lived experiences of 12 school-based nurses who transitioned from hospital or clinical settings were explored. Bandura's self-efficacy and Spreitzer's psychological empowerment theories were used in interpreting the findings. Data were collected via face-to-face individual interviews with nurses residing in the State of Maryland. The study findings revealed the difficulties experienced by these nurses during the initial years of their transition to school nursing. Multitasking was very challenging at the initial stage of transition for nurses who were new to school-based-practice. For nurses who were learning to navigate the school system, adhering to educational standards and protocols while setting appropriate priorities to provide quality nursing care for students was difficult. The nurses' understanding of health and wellness shaped and influenced their decision to continue with school nursing to help students reach their maximum health and academic achievements. This study may lead to positive social change by helping readers to better understand the transition process for hospital-based nurses who enter the school environment. With an improved understanding of this population, it may be possible to lower attrition and burnout rates among school nurses.

Skattningen och sambanden mellan psykosocial arbetsmiljö och välbefinnande hos primärvårdssköterskor : En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med deskriptiv och korrelativ designAgebro, Olivia, Nilsson, Märtha January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Statistik visar att 8% av alla legitimerade sjuksköterskor inte arbetar inom hälso- och sjukvården. Anledningen till det är bland annat hög arbetsbelastning och arbetsrelaterad stress. Tidigare forskning visar att arbetsplatser som arbetar proaktivt för vårdpersonalens välbefinnande har i en större utsträckning mer välmående personal. Utan ett gott välbefinnande hos sjuksköterskan blir patientsäkerheten och kvaliteten på omvårdnaden sämre. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva primärvårdssköterskans skattande av psykosocial arbetsmiljö och välbefinnande samt studera sambandet mellan dessa variabler. Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med deskriptiv och korrelativ design. Totalt skickades 170 enkäter ut till sjuksköterskor och distriktssköterskor arbetande inom regionstyrd och privatägd primärvård i Mellansverige. Svarsfrekvens: 58%. Använda instrument var; Factors perceived stress symptoms, Thriving Scale, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire Version III. Huvudresultat: Resultatet visar starkt samband mellan ökad konflikt mellan arbete och privatliv och sämre skattat symtom på stress, det innebär att variablerna samvarierar med varandra negativt. Högt arbetstempo korrelerar med stress-symtom negativt. Positiv korrelation sågs mellan upplevelsen att känna stolthet över sin organisation och välbefinnande, vitalitet, lärande och blomstrande på arbetsplatsen. Vitalitet och lärande skattades högt, vilket indikerar hög nivå av thriving hos deltagarna. Slutsats: Flertal statistiskt signifikanta samband mellan psykosocial arbetsmiljö och välbefinnande konstaterades. Det innebär att den psykosociala arbetsmiljön samvarierar med primärvårdssköterskans välbefinnande. Resultatet understryker vikten av att organisationer prioriterar att skapa ett hållbart arbetsliv för att välbefinnandet ska bevaras och förbättras. / Introduction: Statistics show that 8% of all licensed nurses do not work in healthcare. Causes are high workload and work-related stress. Previous research presents that workplaces proactively work for the well-being of staff have more prosperous employees. Without the feeling of well-being of the nurse, patient safety and the quality of care will be worse. Aim: Aim to describe the primary care nurse’s assessment of the psychosocial work environment and well-being and study the relationship between these variables. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study with descriptive and correlational design. A total of 170 questionnaires were sent out to nurses and district nurses working in regionally managed and privately owned primary care in Central Sweden. Response rate: 58%. Instrument used; Factors perceived stress symptoms, Thriving Scale, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire Version III. Result: Strong correlation between high work-privacy conflicts and higher stress symptoms were seen, this means the variables co-vary negatively. High work pace correlates negatively with stress symptoms. Positive correlation was seen between feeling pride in the organization and well-being, vitality, learning and thriving at the workplace. Vitality and learning were rated high, which indicates high levels of thriving. Conclusion: Several statistically significant relationships between psychosocial work environments and well-being were found. This implies that psychosocial work environment affects primary care nurse’s well-being. It underlines the importance of organizations prioritizing creating a sustainable work environment for the well-being to be preserved and improved.

Nursing process : perceptions and experiences of nurses in a district public hospital in Lesotho / Zakaria Mpho ShelileShelile, Zakaria Mpho January 2014 (has links)
Background: The nursing process is a widely accepted method and has been suggested as a scientific method to guide procedures and qualify nursing care. More recently, the process has been defined as a systematic and dynamic way to deliver nursing care. This process is performed through five interrelated steps, namely: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation, with subsequent modifications used as feedback mechanisms that promote the resolution of the nursing diagnoses. The Lesotho Nursing Council (LNC) adopted the nursing process over a decade ago and the LNC mandated nurse training institutions and clinical settings to utilise this methodology. However, there is a reluctance to implement the nursing process despite its importance in nursing care (LNC, 2009:7).
Purpose: The primary purpose of this research was to explore and describe the perceptions and experiences of nurses in implementing the nursing process in a district public hospital in Lesotho. On the grounds of these findings, the researcher ultimately makes recommendations for nursing education, nursing practice and nursing research.
Methodology: To explore and describe the perceptions and experiences of nurses implementing the nursing process in a district public hospital in Lesotho, the researcher chose a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design. The researcher used voluntary purposive sampling to identify participants who complied with the set selection criteria. The sample comprised of professional nurses with varying years of working experience and qualifications. The data was collected by means of narratives and two focus group interviews; n=10 and n=6. The data was captured on a digital audio recorder and was transcribed verbatim. The researcher took field notes during each focus group.
Both the researcher and independent co-coder analysed the narratives and transcribed data together, using narrative analysis and open coding (Creswell, 2009:185). Three main themes and nine subthemes emerged from the data collected from the narratives and focus groups. The researcher illustrated these themes through direct quotes by the participants. Each of these themes was discussed accompanied by relevant data obtained from literature, and reduced to conclusive statements, which serve as a basis for the derived recommendations to nursing education, nursing practice and nursing research. Trustworthiness was ensured in accordance with the principles of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability.
Conclusions: The researcher reached a number of conclusions. The participants perceived several factors and experienced them as interfering with the efficient implementation of the nursing process. Operational difficulties experienced in the systematisation of nursing care in practice, are amongst others a lack of knowledge of the steps involved in the process, an excessive number of tasks assigned to the nursing team, the poor quality of professional education, insufficient reports on the physical examination related to the disease and difficulty to formulate the nursing diagnosis. The research report concluded with the researcher’s evaluation of the research and recommendations for nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research with the purpose of improving the implementation of the nursing process. / MCur, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Experiences of student nurses regarding the bursary system in KwaZulu Natal / Eve Precious JacobsJacobs, Eve Precious January 2014 (has links)
This is a qualitative study, the aim of which is to explore the experiences of student nurses regarding the bursary system in KwaZulu Natal. During 2010 nursing education was confronted with restructuring of student nurses from having a supernumerary status to being bursary holders (DOH, 2010:68). This study describes the experiences of changes that have emanated from introduction of the new bursary system.
The experiences of students in this new system were explored. These include the legacy of institutional factors and benefits that have now been removed from the students which could hamper students‟ sense of belonging. The research was conducted in an attempt to make a significant contribution to the bursary subsidisers specifically in awareness of what student experiences have been in relation to introduction of the bursary system in KwaZulu Natal (KZN); and also to provide recommendations on how the bursary requirements could possibly be improved to enhance the student academic, clinical and socio-economic needs.
A qualitative study design was used and data was collected using focus group interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select participants who represent the target population. The sample used for the study included first-, second- and third- year male and female nursing students who are studying towards the Diploma in Nursing (General, Psychiatric, Community) and Midwifery. A total of seven focus group interviews were conducted until data saturation was achieved. To ensure trustworthiness the principles of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability were maintained. A digital voice recorder was utilised to capture all data and data was transcribed verbatim.
Data was analysed by the researcher and an independent co-coder. Two (2) main themes and eight (8) sub-themes were identified. The findings indicated that most of the experiences of being in the bursary system as opposed to having supernumerary status has had many effects and has negatively impacted on students‟, socio-economic, psychological, clinical, academic and family demands.
A very small amount of students responded positively. Many concerns related to staffing attitudes, shortages and staff demands on the students during clinical practice were highlighted.
Conclusions drawn from the study are that the bursary system is not viewed as being of benefit to students as students feel they are not receiving the full complement of benefits from being bursary holders. Furthermore, there is no consideration made to them for support in clinical and academic areas considering the employee hours they have to work. The recommendations indicate that there is a great need to have the bursary system reviewed.
The study is concluded with the final recommendations for policy-making, nursing practice, nursing research and nursing education. From this it is hoped that the students‟ needs are identified, resulting in enhancement of their training. / MCur, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

In tandem or in tension? Patient-nurse negotiations from ICU to hospital dischargeTempleton, Karen Jobe January 1988 (has links)
Using grounded theory methodology, six intensive care patients were interviewed regarding their perceptions of their own needs, concerns and wants and how nurses responded to those. Each patient was interviewed three times to detect any change in responses during the hospitalization. A theme of patient-nurse negotiation emerged. Patients came into the health care setting with a "generative source," the issues and beliefs they had regarding health-care and nurses in general. This affected patients' definition of themselves, their situation, the caregiver, their relationship with the caregiver, and their own needs and expectations. When a patient's definitions of self or situation varied form the nurse's, negotiation would occur. Two main categories of negotiation were used by both patient and nurse: Personal knowledge & Strategies. If negotiation failed to bring consensus, resulting actions were negative feelings and dissatisfaction, and a sense of vulnerability for the patient. This in turn impacted negatively on the patient's generative source and definitions. As the patient progressed through the hospital system toward discharge, the greatest changes were noted in how they defined themselves and the caregiver, and in the style of negotiation they used.

Factors contributing to absenteeism amongst nurses: a management perspectiveNyathi, N'wamakhuvele Maria 28 February 2005 (has links)
Quantitative, descriptive research was conducted to determine which factors contribute to absenteeism among nurses. A structured self-administered questionnaire was administered to the entire population of nurses who worked at a district hospital in the Limpopo Province. Statistical data analysis, involving factor analysis, frequencies and Chi-squares was performed. The findings revealed that various factors related to the characteristics of the nurse, characteristics of the manager, characteristics of the work and characteristics of the organisation contribute to absenteeism. Professional nurses and sub-professional nurses, as well as nurses younger than 40 and nurses who are 40 years and older, appeared to disagree on the extent to which various factors contribute to absenteeism in the workplace. This study was aimed at assisting organisations and managers in reducing absenteeism in the workplace, and by doing so, improving the quality of care. / Health Studies / MA (HEALTH STUDIES)
