Objective: to evaluate job satisfaction and its relationship with the personal and professional characteristics of the nursing team. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional study with 163 nursing workers from the intensive care units of a teaching hospital. For data collection, the Brazilian version of the Job Satisfaction Survey and a personal and professional characterization form were used.

They were satisfied with the supervision, co-workers, and nature of work, while dissatisfied with other domains. There was a correlation between the intention to stay in the job and the majority of the Job Satisfaction Survey domains, except for co-workers and operating procedures, and a correlation between time working at the unit and at the institution with the domains pay, contingent rewards, and supervision. Conclusion: there was an ambivalence regarding job satisfaction and the variables intention of stay in the job and time working at the unit and at the institution were correlated with job satisfaction concerning the domains pay, contingent rewards, and supervision.

RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer a adesão da equipe de enfermagem ao protocolo de pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, descritivo, observacional, transversal, em seis Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de um hospital de ensino. Coletaram-se os dados por meio de um checklist à beira do leito. Utilizou-se para análise dos dados o teste de regressão linear multivariada e estatística descritiva e inferencial. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de tabelas e figura. Resultados: participaram 945 pacientes com prevalência do sexo masculino, faixa etária 61 a 80 anos, tempo de internação de até 15 dias e incidência de PAV foi 10,58%. A equipe de enfermagem manteve em acordo com o protocolo institucional aproximadamente 90,05% das cabeceiras elevadas de 30º a 45º. Demonstrou-se estaticamente a relação PAV com o sexo masculino, tempo de internação nos primeiros 15 dias e filtro HME. Houve a correlação de cabeceira elevada com idade e tempo de internação e filtro HME com tempo de internação. Conclusão: a equipe de enfermagem coloca em prática o protocolo de prevenção de PAV reduzindo a incidência dessa infecção na unidade.

Results: 945 patients with a prevalence of males, aged 61 to 80 years, hospitalization time of up to 15 days and incidence of VAP were 10.58%. The nursing team maintained in agreement with the institutional protocol approximately 90.05% of the elevated headrests from 30º to 45º. Statistically, the VAP relationship with the male sex, length of hospital stay in the first 15 days and HME filter was demonstrated. There was a high bedside correlation with age and hospitalization time and HME filter with hospitalization time.

Background: Caring is the major focus of nursing practice, and their behavior has an impact on the quality of patient care, and it is very important that they are satisfied while working. The strong relationship between job satisfaction and nurses caring behavior is well established, and therefore the managers can be encouraged to provide better conditions for nurses’ satisfaction. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and the caring behavior of nurses in the Military Hospital.Design and Methods: A survey with a self-assessment questionnaire was carried out from August to December 2019.  Participants were 121 nurses working in a military hospital Malang, Indonesia. The data was collected using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and Caring Behavior Inventory (CBI-24). The data were analyzed using rank Spearman and multiple linear regression. Results: Job satisfaction had a positive correlation with the caring behavior of nurses (p=0.003; r=0.266). Furthermore, there were four job satisfaction dimensions namely supervision, contingent rewards, co-workers, nature of work and communication dimensions were positively correlated with nurses’ caring behavior (p<0.05) while the Whilst pay, promotion, benefits, operating procedure dimensions are not related to nurse’s caring behavior (p>0.05).Conclusions: Caring behavior of nurses is influenced by job satisfaction. Therefore, it is necessary to provide supervision, contingent rewards, empowerment, collaboration program for the nurses to reconstruct the nursing working environment to be healthier and increase the caring behavior of nurses.

Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the types and frequency of medication errors in our NICUs (neonatal intensive care units). Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on two neonatal intensive care units of two hospitals over 3 months. Demographic information, drug information and total number of prescriptions for each neonate were extracted from medical records and assessed. Results A total of 688 prescriptions for 44 types of drugs were checked for the assessment of medical records of 155 neonates. There were 509 medication errors, averaging (SD) 3.38 (+/− 5.49) errors per patient. Collectively, 116 neonates (74.8%) experienced at least one medication error. Term neonates and preterm neonates experienced 125 and 384 medication errors, respectively. The most frequent medication errors were wrong dosage by physicians in prescription phase [WU1] (142 errors; 28%) and not administering medication by nurse in administration phase (146 errors; 29%). Of total 688 prescriptions, 127 errors were recorded. In this regard, lack of time and/or date of order were the most common errors. Conclusions The most frequent medication errors were wrong dosage and not administering the medication to patient, and on the quality of prescribing, lack of time and/or date of order was the most frequent one. Medication errors happened more frequently in preterm neonates (P < 0.001). We think that using computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system and increasing the nurse-to-patient ratio can reduce the possibility of medication errors.
