“…The instrument consisted of 29-items which were answered on a 6-point Likert scale which was anchored by the terms, 'strongly disagree' (1) and 'strongly agree' (6). The content validity, construct validity and the reliability of the WEQ had been previously established (the overall α-coefficient was 0.91) [20]. In this study, the reliability of the WEQ was 0.73.…”

“…The findings from research studies which investigated what the staff perceived as creating job satisfaction in their psychosocial work environment, as well as the ethical dilemmas which were experienced within the acute psychiatric care, showed that the factors which contributed to the job satisfaction or dissatisfaction could be related to the nurses' value system [19]. The ethical dilemmas were specifically concerned with how to care for and handle the work in relation to the patient autonomy and how to approach the patient [20].…”

Background and Aim: Several researchers have described the nurses' work as stressful and that the incidence of the occupational stress-related burnout in the profession was high. The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between the nurses' satisfaction, their psychosocial work environment, the levels of their reported moral sensitivities and their wellbeing in Iran. Material and Methods:This descriptive-correlation study was performed at the ILAM general hospitals, IR, during the year 2011. The research instruments which were used were the Psychosocial Work Environment (PWE), the Moral Sensitivity (MS) and the well-being profile of the nurses. A sample of 120 Registered Nurses (RN) were enrolled in the study by using a simple random sampling method. The descriptive statistics and the Pearson's correlation test were performed by using SPSS. Result:The relationship of the nurses' satisfaction and their psychosocial work environment was moderate (M=106.5, SD= 7.2) . The nurses' moral sensitivity was moderate (M=112.3, SD= 11.2).This study found that there were significant correlations between the PWE factors score and the MS subscale (P< 0.05, p<0.01). In addition, significant correlations were found between the nurses' well-being and the PWE factors (P< 0.05, p<0.01). Discussion and Conclusion:These findings proved that the nurses perceived their PWE as stressful. The supporting nurses may have a positive effect on their perceptions of well-being. The attending nurses reported less physical symptoms, reduced anxiety and fewer feelings of not being in control.

“…O conceito de QVT encerra escolhas de bem-estar e percepção do que pode ser feito para atender expectativas de gestores e trabalhadores (1) . A satisfação no trabalho tem se tornado um conceito chave dentro das pesquisas de QVT e em pesquisas da área de enfermagem em todo o mundo (2)(3)(4)(5) . Alguns estudos têm apontado a importância da mensuração da satisfação profissional e sugerido a associação da mesma com melhor qualidade de vida (6) , menor índice de estresse ocupacional, ansiedade e depressão (5,7) , com o senso de coerência (5) e menor prevalência de sintomas da Síndrome de Burnout (8)(9) .…”

Compuseram a amostra 53 trabalhadores de enfermagem de um hospital escola do interior do Paraná, Brasil. Utilizou-se para a coleta de dados: instrumento de caracterização sócio-demográfica e profissional, Escala Visual Analógica para QVT e o Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). A coleta de dados ocorreu entre abril e agosto de 2009. Predominaram auxiliares de enfermagem (52,8%), do sexo feminino (66,0%), casados (67,9%), com idade média de 42,4 anos. A média de QVT para o total da amostra foi de 71,1 (D.P.=15,5), demonstrando uma avaliação satisfatória para essa medida. As dimensões Exaustão Emocional, Despersonalização e Realização Profissional obtiveram média de 11,4 (DP=7,7), 4,6 (DP=4,1) e 25,0 (DP=5,9), respectivamente, enquanto a medida de QVT somente obteve associação estatisticamente significante com a dimensão Exaustão Emocional (p=0,000).

“…Unlike the ward atmosphere, with its focus on treatment and patients, the psychosocial work environment emphasizes the situation for the nursing staff, in terms of organizational conditions for their work and relational aspects among the nursing staff and between staff and managers. Previous research in psychiatric care has shown that the psychosocial work environment is vital for the staffs' job satisfaction, 18,19 and is important in relation to stress. 15,20 The psychosocial work environment has also found to be related to nurses' moral sensitivity, 21 and low staffing levels have shown to be associated with moral distress among Japanese psychiatric nurses.…”

Stress of Conscience among psychiatric nursing staff in relation to environmental and individual factors

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between environmental and individual factors and Stress of Conscience among nursing staff in psychiatric in-patient care. A questionnaire involving six different instruments measuring Stress of Conscience, the ward atmosphere, the psychosocial work environment, Perceived Stress, Moral Sensitivity, and Mastery was answered by 93 nursing staff at 12 psychiatric in-patient wards in Sweden. The findings showed that Sense of Moral Burden, Mastery, Control at Work and Angry and Aggressive Behavior were related to Stress of Conscience. We conclude that Mastery and Control at Work seemed to work as protective factors, while Sense of Moral Burden and perceptions of Angry and Aggressive Behavior made the nursing staff more vulnerable to Stress of Conscience. Future research should investigate whether measures to increase the level of perceived control and being part of decision making will decrease the level of Stress of Conscience among the staff.
