“…Studies on hospital nurses have revealed that professional satisfaction is a factor related to work effectiveness, productivity, absenteeism, quitting the job, turnover, patient safety and quality of care (2)(3) . There have been several attempts to measure professional satisfaction of nurses in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) settings (4)(5) , whilst moderate job satisfaction has been consistently reported among them (6)(7)(8) .…”

Objective To explore potential associations between nursing workload and professional satisfaction among nursing personnel (NP) in Greek Coronary Care Units (CCUs). Method A cross-sectional study was performed involving 66 members of the NP employed in 6 randomly selected Greek CCUs. Job satisfaction was assessed by the IWS and nursing workload by NAS, CNIS and TISS-28. Results The response rate was 77.6%. The reliability of the IWS was α=0.78 and the mean score 10.7 (±2.1, scale range: 0.5-39.7). The most highly valued component of satisfaction was “Pay”, followed by “Task requirements”, “Interaction”, “Professional status”, “Organizational policies” and “Autonomy”. NAS, CNIS and TISS-28 were negatively correlated (p≤0.04) with the following work components: “Autonomy”, “Professional status”, “Interaction” and “Task requirements”. Night shift work independently predicted the score of IWS. Conclusion The findings show low levels of job satisfaction, which are related with nursing workload and influenced by rotating shifts.

“…We should recognize conflict as a potential opportunity for improvement-as a chance to hear the ideas of others and ensure they're brought to light. 8,9 Although emotions can run high in the ICU, such tension is probably a sign that people care about their jobs and care about their patients.…”

“…Job satisfaction was strongly associated with the work environment in twenty five studies, including seven in ICU, with particular influence on intention to leave ( x = -4.25; SD 1.61; p < .01) [50] and (β = -0.28; p < .001) [51] . A study of 935 ICU nurses identified a positive association between job satisfaction and nurse leadership (r = 0.612; p < .001), nurse-physician collegiality (r = 0.454; p < .001), staffing and resource adequacy (r = 0.328; p < .001), participation (r = 0.307; p < .001), foundations for quality care (r = 0.437; p < .001) and professional advancement (r = 0.595; p < .001) [52] .…”

Objective: To determine an appropriate survey instrument to evaluate the impact of organizational structures on the work environment of intensive care nurses. Background:Internationally the demand for intensive care is increasing. Solely increasing bed capacity is not sustainable. Large capacity multi-specialty Intensive Care Units are emerging as the preferred organizational model with benefits resulting from optimizing operational synergies and economies of scale. The impact of this organizational transition on intensive care nurses is not well understood. An appropriate survey instrument for intensive care nurses is required. Design: Integrative literature review. Data Sources: CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE and OVID Nursing databases searched for studies published between 2005 and 2013.Review methods: An integrative review and quality assessment of the studies was undertaken to select nurse outcome measures associated with organizational structures across a range of acute and critical care settings. Congruence between nurse outcome measures and nurse survey instruments tested in the literature was assessed to select instruments for further psychometric evaluation.Results: Thirty-one cross sectional quantitative studies, from fourteen countries, were reviewed. Twenty one nurse outcome measures associated with organizational factors were identified and a total of twenty five survey instruments used in the studies reviewed. Assessment of congruence and psychometric properties determined that a combination of two instruments is required to comprehensively assess the organizational environment of nurses working in intensive care units. Conclusion:The environment of nurses working in intensive care is effectively evaluated with an instrument that combines subscales from the Practice Environment Scale-Nurse Work Index and Maslach's Burnout Inventory.
