Job Satisfaction of Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses

Abstract

Nurses in the NICU are relatively satisfied with their jobs. The small sample size (n = 109) of Midwest NICU nurses proves to be a limitation for generalization. Additional research is needed to further evaluate nursing role, educational level, and job satisfaction in the NICU.

Job satisfaction and burnout among paediatric nurses

“…In this study, the income level of nurses affected job satisfaction. In prior studies, an important organisational factor was how salary affects employee attitudes (Kalliath & Morris 2002, Ernst et al 2004, Metin & Ozer 2007, Willem et al 2007, Kavlu & Pınar 2009, Wyatt & Harrison 2010, McDonald et al 2012, Cetin et al 2013). However, Aytekin and Kurt (2014) studied 96 nurses working in a neonatal intensive unit and found that income level did not affect job satisfaction.…”

Yoga for Stress Management Among Intensive Care Unit Staff: A Pilot Study

The lessons are discussed in the sections below.…”

Job satisfaction among anesthetic and intensive care nurses – multicenter, observational study

“…In this part, parti cipants were asked about their salary satisfaction, level of stress at work, the interaction between members of the team and general job satisfaction (Appendix A). This survey was adapted from the study of McDonald et al which was conducted among neonatal intensive care nurses [14].…”
