Background: Work plays a significant part in all our lives, perceived organizational supportive and work-life balance isn't only important for nurses' health, but also it can improve nurses' workflow and productivity. Aim: To explore the influence of perceived organizational support, work life balance on staff nurses' workflow at Main Mansoura University Hospital. Subjects and methods: Descriptive correlational design was used. Three tools were used for data collection; perceived organizational support scale, work-life balance survey, and nurses' work-related flow inventory. Results: Highly statistically significant relationship between organizational support, work life balance and workflow, highly statistically significant relationship between all levels of organizational support, work life balance and workflow, in addition to staff nurses perceived low organizational support level and moderate level related work life balance and workflow. Conclusion: Highly statistically significant correlation between perceived organizational support, work life balance and workflow. Recommendations: Hospital should monitor the level of all factors regarding their work place, stress; motivation and other benefits will improve balance between work life which in turn will give satisfaction in their personal life, providing an attractive system of recognition and rewards that increase sense of achievement, and personal growth, future research needed between work life balance and workflow.
Patient handover, which is a method of moving the clinical data of patients to another individual or professional community, is a high-risk area for the safety of patients due to errors which can happen during staff break time, changeover shifts, and when patients are moved in and out of units. Standards for critical care nurses will improve bedside handover due to the presence of clear plans implemented by nurses who are well informed about them. To develop nursing standards for maintaining handover in the intensive care unit. A methodological and cross-sectional study was conducted at Mansoura University Hospital and included 15 experts and 150 staff nurses. Twelve items were excluded from the tool because their CVR ratio was less than 0.7. Therefore, after eliminating 12 items, the number of tool items produced was 66. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value = 0.713, with the recommended value being 0.6 or above. The cut-off score for the analysis model was 0.3, and the KMO value criterion was greater than 1, which defined eight-factor loadings as the best fit for the results, accounting for 69.5% of the variance. The aim of this study was satisfactorily achieved, with 0.9055 validity and reliability for the handover instrument, which consisted of 60 items with a total reliability score.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
