Burnout and patient safety: A discriminant analysis of paediatric nurses by low to high managerial support

Abstract

Aim To explore how levels of managerial support discriminate paediatric nurses' burnout, quality of life, intent to leave and adverse patient events. Design A quantitative correlational study. Methods A total of 225 paediatric nurses were selected from nine major hospitals across Jordan. The main measures used were the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and the brief version of World Health Organization‐Quality of Life Instrument. The study methods were compliant with the STROBE checklist. Results Nurse manager support was negatively associated with adverse patient events, work‐related burnout, client‐related burnout, and intent to leave; and positively with physical and psychological quality of life. Frequency of nosocomial infections characterized low manager support, whereas medication errors described high support. Greater nurse manager support decreased the likelihood of adverse patient outcomes.

The relationships between paediatric nurses' social support, job satisfaction and patient adverse events

“…The higher family and manager support for paediatric nurses, the less frequent medication errors, pressure ulcers, patient falls and nosocomial infections will be perceived. This result matches the findings found by a previous study that manager support contributes to paediatric patient safety (Khatatbeh et al., 2020 ). This finding is also supported by another study which concluded that patient safety could be enhanced by creating a healthy work environment for nurses (Amarneh, 2017 ).…”

Nurses’ burnout and quality of life: A systematic review and critical analysis of measures used

“…Most of the included studies have explicitly concluded that nurses' BO or its' subscales negatively impacts their QOL or its' subscales (Abraham & D'silva, 2013;Alotni & Elgazzar, 2020;Aytekin et al, 2013;Fradelos et al, 2014;Hatamipour et al, 2017;Kelleci et al, 2011;Khatatbeh et al, 2020;Kupcewicz & Jóźwik, 2020;Ribeiro et al, 2021;Zeng et al, 2020). Similarly, some of the included studies found a negative association between professional or work-related QOL and nurses' BO (Abdel-Aziz & Adam, 2020;Casida et al, 2019;Erkorkmaz et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2019;Permarupan et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2019).…”

“…Most of the studies ( n = 12) included were from China, Turkey, Iran, Greece or Pakistan (Aytekin et al., 2013; Azari & Rasouyar, 2016; Çelmeçe & Menekay, 2020; Erkorkmaz et al., 2018; Fradelos et al., 2014; Hatamipour et al., 2017; Kelleci et al., 2011; Naz et al., 2016; Paniora et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2011; Zeng et al., 2020). The rest of the studies was from Brazil (Ribeiro et al., 2021), Egypt (Abdel‐Aziz & Adam, 2020), Korea (Kim et al., 2019), India (Abraham & D’silva, 2013), Jordan (Khatatbeh et al., 2020), Malaysia (Permarupan et al., 2020), Poland (Kupcewicz & Jóźwik, 2020), Saudi Arabia (Alotni & Elgazzar, 2020) and the USA (Casida et al., 2019). All of the studies included in this systematic review utilized a cross‐sectional design, and most of them ( n = 11) were published between 2019 and 2021, Table 1.…”

The relationship between paediatric nurses' quality of life and intent to leave: The moderating role of hospital type

“…Previous studies established a negative correlation between nurses' QOL and ITL (Andresen et al, 2017;Burmeister et al, 2019;Khatatbeh, Pakai, Pusztai, et al, 2020;Perry et al, 2017). Another study concluded that nurses' ITL is influenced by the type of healthcare institution (Yamaguchi et al, 2016).…”
