There were tremendous increasing numbers of hospitals to adopt Clinical Nurse Spcialist (CNS) to assist health care delivery from 1986 to 1988. In year 2000, The Legislative Yuan of Taiwan approved the laws of accreditation and licensure of CNS.
However, what are the recognition and impression of the accreditation of clinical nurse specialist form nursing? This study examines the associations among recognition, job characteristic, job satisfaction, and job commitment related to the CNS.
This study used self-developed survey research to ask 386 nurses, including 43 nursing directors, 45 nursing supervisors, 134 nurse managers, 52 PAs and NSPs, and 115 registered nurses. The survey period was from March 10 to April 31 of 2002. The overall alpha of the instrument was 0.97. Descriptive analysis and ANOVA were used to attain the purposes of this study.
The major findings from this study include 1) Education and position make differences in the perception of CNS. There are no differences in ownership and level of accreditation; and 2) The perception of CNS is positively associated with the constructs of job characteristics, job satisfaction, as well as organizational commitment. It suggests that the promotion to the CNS path will assist the nursing turnover in the future.
