“…Because of the lack of detailed information about job satisfaction among nurses in Lithuania, it is difficult to compare the results with the results available in the literature, and with the results of Polish studies. The fact that the results of the current study cannot be directly compared with the results available in the literature may be connected with the use of various types of scales in the assessment of job satisfaction, as they not always refer to the assessment of overall job satisfaction based on the JSS scale [54,56,57]. Analysis of the material confirmed that there is a relationship between age and job satisfaction of the nursing staff.…”

Introduction. In the opinion of many researchers, nursing staff are exposed to an exceptionally high level of occupational stress. The problem of stress in the working environment of the nursing staff becomes more and more important in the context of increasing staff shortages and insufficient support from colleagues and employers. The aim of this study was to analyse stress factors indicated by the nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania, and to assess their job satisfaction. Materials and method. Two standard research tools were used in the study: the Nursing Stress Scale and the Job Satisfaction Survey. The study involved 230 respondents from Poland and Lithuania. The sample was chosen randomly and incidentally. Results. Based on the analysis of collected materials, the greatest stress factors in the work of the nursing staff were identified, which included interpersonal conflicts between nurses and doctors and between nurses, and death and dying. The study indicated that there is a relationship between stress and job satisfaction among Polish nurses (r=-0.33;p=0.001) and Lithuanian nurses (r=0.34; p=0.001). The greater the stress, the lower the job satisfaction. Low job satisfaction was connected with low remuneration, which is still inadequate to professional duties, and the lack of promotion opportunities. The study confirmed that there were significant differences in job satisfaction among Polish and Lithuanian nurses (Z= -6.27; p<0.001). Conclusions. The study confirmed a high level of stress and dissatisfaction among nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania.

“…To test the usability of the MISENER questionnaire under Polish conditions, a pilot study was carried out in 2013 concerning the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of nurses with master’s level education employed at medical institutions. The pilot study involved 272 participants with Masters of Nursing degrees employed at 9 hospitals in central and northeast Poland [ 14 , 15 ].…”

BackgroundUnderstanding the issue of job satisfaction of nurses with master of nursing degrees may help develop organisational changes necessary for better functioning of health care institutions. This study aimed to evaluate the level of job satisfaction among holders of Masters of Nursing degrees employed at health care institutions and to ascertain its determinants.MethodsThe cross-sectional study was carried out in randomly selected health care institutions in Poland using the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Survey and an original survey questionnaire with two open-ended questions. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and summary statistics.ResultsThe participants gave highest satisfaction ratings to their relationships with direct superiors and other nurses, as well as their social contacts at work. The lowest ratings were given to the pension scheme and factors connected with remuneration. A highly statistically significant relationship was found between the job classification and the level of professional satisfaction (p < 0.001). Qualitative analysis of responses to the two open-ended questions supported Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory: internal factors promoted satisfaction, whilst external ones caused dissatisfaction.ConclusionsManagers of nurses should strengthen the areas that contribute to higher employee satisfaction, particularly interpersonal relationships, by commendation and recognition of work effects.

“…Offering, like most other European countries, post-graduate specialist and advanced practice programmes in addition to PhD programmes, the concept of continuous professional development (CPD) is embedded in Polish nursing and enshrined in law insofar as nurses are required to keep their knowledge up to date. These developments are having a profound effect on the discipline, for example one Polish study found that nurses (n=272) educated to Masters level perceived greater autonomy within their current roles as a result of this education [6]. There are also greater opportunities to achieve professional development and expand scope of practice and there are perceived improvements in patient care as a result of these expanding roles [6].…”

“…This is another challenge facing the Polish nursing profession. Brayer et al [6] found that despite progress, nurses reported limited ability to research or lead to monitor research-based improvements [6]. Recent exploration of EBP policy activity in Poland [16] also expressed the view that this activity seemed mostly voluntary insofar as national guidelines and support for EBP in nursing do not exist.…”

Introduction. Polish nursing has experienced rapid and unprecedented evolutionary change. Recent and ongoing changes to preparatory nurse education have heralded a profound change for the profession. At the same time the nursing profession itself has experienced unprecedented development in terms of changing roles and expanded practice. While the growth of professional is ongoing there are many challenges to this in terms of staffing shortages, an aging workforce and changing illness trajectories. While a committed workforce, nurses are challenged to maintain quality standards in the context of these challenges.Aim. This paper explores the responses and responsibilities required of the profession to face ongoing changes in medicine, health and society as well as policy and professional changes. The leadership required to successfully steer and negotiate this ongoing transformation will be discussed.
