Enzyme Delivery

For children with cystic fibrosis (CF), enzymes are essential with meals to absorb nutrients and ensure adequate growth. When hospitalized, CF patients typically rely on nurse-administered medications. Recently, a pediatric hospital unit began allowing adolescents with CF enzymes at the bedside. Postimplementation, a satisfaction questionnaire was administered to participating patients and nurses measuring patient and nurse satisfaction with access to bedside enzymes versus nurse administration and overall time for enzyme delivery. The survey utilized a 5-point Likert scale. The wait time for pancreatic enzymes decreased for self-administered enzymes when compared to those that were nurse administered. All (11/11) patients and 86% (12/14) of nurses preferred the self-administration of enzymes. Hospitalized pediatric CF patients and nurses had higher levels of satisfaction with enzyme self-administration. Immediate access to enzymes in room safes impact patient autonomy, reflecting home self-care practices. Decreases in wait times optimize nutritional growth and healing while hospitalized. As a result, a new limited scope policy allowing patient-administered enzymes is now in place in the pediatric inpatient CF unit.

The Sacrifice

Background: An effective hand-off process promotes transfer of critical information during transitions of care, thus decreasing the risk of adverse events. For patients with neurological symptoms, exchanging information over the phone may not provide the complete clinical picture of the patient and may contribute to the receiving nurse under appreciating early neurological changes. However, having the nurse leave a busy emergency department (ED) to perform bedside hand-off on the neuroscience unit (NSU) is often not realistic. Purpose: To improve nursing satisfaction with the hand-off process between the ED and the NSU, comparing video and phone report. Methods: The population consisted of stroke patients admitted from the ED to the NSU over a three month period. The intervention was offering a computer with video for the ED nurse to share pertinent information and perform a neurological exam, a process which allowed the receiving nurse to ask questions and interact with the patient. Nurses who used the video hand-off (n=24) were surveyed at the end of the pilot project to measure their satisfaction. Results: Overall, the nurses were more satisfied using video. (Figure). The increase in percentage of nurses answering “Strongly Agree”/ “Agree” were noted in these areas: 71%-85% for relevance of information, 68%-81% for efficiency, 54%-58% for staff relationships, 33%-63% for patient engagement, and 42%-75% for reducing risk for error. Conclusions: The use of video during transition of care provides an option for hospitals to employ an interactive handoff between departments without the sacrifice of time. Nursing should further explore the benefits of video technology during transitions of care, particularly inter-departmental transfers for special populations.

Temporary Agency Workers

The use of external labour such as temporary agency workers in the general workforce has increased in recent decades, but comparatively little is known about their impact within the aged care workforce. This article analyses quantitative data from a census of aged care facilities and a large-scale survey of their workforce regarding the use and impact of temporary agency workers on internal workers. It demonstrates that employing temporary agency workers helps address labour shortages generally and skill shortages in particular. However, it has a negative impact on the job satisfaction of internal personal care workers – a predictor of an increase in intention to leave. In contrast, there was little impact on internal nurse satisfaction. The use of temporary agency workers could therefore create a paradox: increasing personal care worker numbers in the short term, but negatively impacting on their retention in the long term. Given the need for an expanded and sustainable aged care workforce, this finding has important implications for organisations, policy and unions.

The work satisfaction among nurses is essential in a healthcare system. Nurse satisfaction may refer to the motivation to stay in the nursing profession and the organization in which they are satisfied with. The study aim to determine the level of work satisfaction among Intensive Care nurses and examined the relationship between Herzberg’s motivation and hygiene factors. The study used a quantitative design with a theoretical framework based on Herzberg’s theory.  A total of 218 nurses from the Intensive Care Unit were selected.  The results showed that overall of the nurses had a moderate level of work satisfaction.  Keywords: Work satisfaction, motivation, hygiene, nurses eISSN: 2398-4287© 2021.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical personnel received much heavier workload than normal. On top of it, stigma and low appreciation of the community for medical personnel leads to increase of both physical and psychological pressure. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of leadership, workload, and work environment on nurse satisfaction and performance. The sample in this study were 246 nurses who worked at Bali Mandara Hospital. Data was collected through questionnaire distributed online using google form platform and the data was processed using SmartPLS 3.2.1. The results of the study found that: (1) leadership, workload, and work environment had a positive and significant effect on nurses' job satisfaction; (2) leadership and nurse satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on nurse performance, workload has a negative and significant effect on nurse performance, and work environment has no effect on nurse performance; and (3) nurse job satisfaction mediates the influence of leadership, work load, and work environment on nurse performance.

Evaluating clinician satisfaction with an electronic medical record (EMR) system is an important dimension to overall acceptance and use, yet project managers often lack the time and resources to formally assess user satisfaction and solicit feedback. This article describes the methods used to assess clinician satisfaction with an EMR and identify opportunities for improving its use at a 300-physician academic practice setting. We administered an online survey to physicians and nurses; 244 (44%) responded. We compared physician and nurse mean ratings across 5 domains, and found physicians satisfactions scores were statistically lower than nurses in several areas (p

Purpose The purpose of this paper is three-fold: first, to assess nurse satisfaction levels with working environment (known as favourability) in five Greek public hospitals using the practice environment scale (PES); second, to compare perceptions among nurses employed in surgical and medical departments; and third, to examine relationships between perceptions and nurse educational level and experience. Design/methodology/approach In total, 532 nurses from five major public hospitals in Greece completed the PES. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and Spearman correlations were employed to analyse the data. Findings Nurses perceived their work settings as unfavourable in all five hospitals, with collegial nurse–physician relations emerging as the only positive factor. Compared to medical wards, surgical departments emerged as slightly more positive working environments. Work department notwithstanding, in some cases, education and experience levels affected their perceptions on management, poor care quality, limited nurse involvement in hospital affairs and nursing shortage. Practical implications Hospital managers do not provide sufficient support for Greek nurses in their working environments. Originality/value The authors attempted to evaluate nursing practice environments in Greek hospitals, viewed from nurse perspectives. The authors identified insufficient support for nurses’ working in these hospitals.
