Recognition of Accreditation for Nursing Education, Job Satisfaction and Intention to Change Teaching Area for Faculty in Fundamentals of Nursing

Abstract Background: Job satisfaction among nursing faculty is critical to improving quality of nursing education, producing future nurses who will contribute directly to the health of patients at a local and national level. This study explores factors associated with job satisfaction among graduate nursing faculties in different universities of Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing faculty with at least one year of teaching in their respective institutions. A 36-question job satisfaction questionnaire with 6-point Likert type responses was administered online. The questionnaire was pre-tested with 30 faculties pooled from multiple institutions. Link to the final survey was sent via e-mail to 327 nursing faculties working in 39 nursing colleges. Respondents were contacted by phone as a follow up to the email to politely remind them about the survey. Data analysis was carried out with SAS University Edition software. Chi-Square test and t-test were used for simple descriptive analysis. A multivariate binary logistic regression model was used to identify the significant factors associated with nursing faculties’ job satisfaction. Adjusted odds ratio was calculated and significance was considered at p ≤0.05 with 95% confidence interval. Results: The response rate was 54.4%. After retrospective cleaning of data, usable response rate was 52.3% (n=171). The average age of the nursing faculties was 36.8±7.0 years. Based on the overall job satisfaction score, 36.8% nursing faculties were satisfied with their current job. The coefficient for Cronbach’s alpha was 0.895 suggesting very good reliability of the overall measure. The significant factors associated with job satisfaction were the involvement of the faculties in decision making process related to the department (OR=4.83) and adequate access to reference materials (OR=2.90). Conclusions: This study suggests that nursing faculties have positive attitude towards their job but are dissatisfied with the benefits offered to them and the operating condition of their institutions. Expanding the teaching learning resources, such as reference books, subscription to journals, and continuing education opportunities for nursing faculties through participation in professional meetings would be helpful in improving the quality of nursing education in Nepal.

Quality Of Nursing

Abstract Background: Job satisfaction among nursing faculties is critical to improve quality of nursing education for producing future nurses whose action will be directly related to the health condition of the patients at local and national level. This study explores the factors associated with job satisfaction among graduate nursing faculties in different Universities of Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the nursing faculties with Masters’ level and higher qualification and completed at least one year of teaching in their respective institutions. A 36-question job satisfaction questionnaire with 6-point Likert type responses was administered online. The survey instrument was pre-tested with 30 faculties pooled from multiple institutions. Link to final survey was sent via e-mail to 327 nursing faculties working in 39 nursing colleges. Respondents were followed through email or phone, once a week for one month after survey was opened. Data analysis was carried out with SAS University Edition software. Chi-Square test and t-test were used for simple descriptive analysis. Results: The response rate was 54.4%. After retrospective cleaning of data, usable response rate was 52.3% (n=171). The average age of the nursing faculties was 36.8±7.0 years. Based on the overall job satisfaction score, 36.8% nursing faculties were satisfied with their current job. The coefficient for Cronbach’s alpha was 0.895 suggesting very good reliability of the overall measure. The significant factors associated with job satisfaction were the involvement of the faculties in decision making process related to the department (OR=4.83) and adequate access to reference materials (OR=2.90). Top three domain specific job satisfaction scores were coworkers (µ=18.3), communication (µ=17.3) and nature of work (µ=17.1). Lowest satisfaction scores were for promotion (µ=12.0), operating condition (µ=12.9) and contingency rewards (µ=13.1) and pay (µ=13.8) Conclusions: This study suggests that nursing faculties have positive attitude towards their job but are dissatisfied with the benefits offered to them as well as the operating condition of the institution they work for. A participatory approach in management and decision making within different level of the organization would boost their morale. Expanding teaching learning resources would be helpful in improving the quality of nursing education in Nepal.

BackgroundState survey agencies are experiencing an increase in work requirements and surveyor staffing instability thereby compromising organizational performance. No information has been published about surveyor perceptions of the work environment and job satisfaction to inform management interventions for improvement.ObjectiveThe purposes of this study were to evaluate state health facility surveyor perceptions of the work environment and to formulate management recommendations for improving recruitment and retention.MethodsThe Theory of Structural Empowerment (SE) served as the framework for this study which employed a nonexperimental descriptive survey design. Data were obtained using the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II, the Job Satisfaction Survey, and open-ended questions. Participants were surveyors employed by a state survey agency in northeast United States (N = 52).ResultsSurveyors reported moderate and ambivalent overall SE and job satisfaction, respectively. Significant differences among bureaus, divisions, disciplines/backgrounds, and level of nursing education were identified.ConclusionsSurveyor perceptions of SE and job satisfaction are suboptimal and could be improved with modifications to the work environment.Implications for NursingManagers should assess how staff perceive the work environment and implement data-driven, evidence-based interventions that can reduce attrition and improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
