Job stress and its relationship with nurses' autonomy and nurse–physician collaboration in intensive care unit

Abstract

Nurses working in the intensive care unit (ICU) must take responsibility for their decisions in caring for critically ill patients (Keshk et al., 2018). The most basic tool for independent decision-making is having professional autonomy, which is more necessary for ICU nurses than nurses working in other units (Rouhi-Balasi et al., 2020). Nurses' professional autonomy is the ability to have the right and responsibility to do their job based on their patient's needs and the freedom to implement those decisions (Georgiou et al., 2017).

Occupational stress and its relationship with spiritual coping among emergency department nurses and emergency medical services staff

“…One stressor that most people face is workplace stress, which is called occupational stress [4] . Occupational stress is defined as a psycho-physical reaction that occurs when job demands exceed a person's ability or resources to cope or over-meet their needs [5] . Occupational stress is both an emotional and a physical condition that can have devastating effects and is often caused by one’s inability to provide the needs, resources, and abilities required by an employee [6] .…”

[Retracted] Status Quo of Occupational Identity of Nursing Staff in Rehabilitation Department and Its Relationship with Work Stressors

“…As shown in Figure 3 , the use of the neural network to extract and identify the features of the original signal can effectively extract all kinds of information contained in the signal, but it also has certain shortcomings [ 23 ]. Since the signal sampling frequency of the original signal is usually high and the amount of signal data is large, the design requirements for the network structure are high.…”

Nurse‐physician collaboration, intention to leave job, and professional commitment among new graduate nurses

“…The median score for overall professional commitment in NGNs was 75 (69-86), which was accepted at a high level since the highest score on the scale 104. Similarly, NGNs had a high levels of professional commitment on the subscales of belief in goals and values, willingness to show effort, and maintaining professional membership, with median scores 15 (13)(14)(15)(16)(17), 39 (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44), and 23 (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). The highest scores on these subscales are 20, 52, and 32, respectively.…”

“…In another study, Swedish NGNs who had recently graduated from interprofessional education university perceived the greater extent that their undergraduate training had prepared them to work together with other professions. 37 Also, studies in Iran 38 and Cyprus 39 showed that there was a significant positive relationship between professional experience and attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration among nurses. As a result, the different levels of attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration may be related to educational backgrounds, professional experiences and working environment characteristics of NGNs.…”

“…A possible reason may be the lack of professional knowledge and skills of NGNs, as well as limited independent actions and decisions comparing to an experienced nurse. Studies in Iran 38 and Cyprus 39 reported that experienced nurses had higher professional autonomy and higher autonomy scores resulted in a higher perceived collaboration with physicians.…”
