“…Furthermore, a study conducted in Estonia reported no relationship between workplace commitment and burnout amongst nurses [ 58 ]. As there are indications that workplace commitment is correlated with patient safety [ 59 ], the development and improving of workplace commitment needs further scientific investigation.…”

The relationship between workload and burnout among nurses: The buffering role of personal, social and organisational resources

Workload in the nursing profession is high, which is associated with poor health. Thus, it is important to get a proper understanding of the working situation and to analyse factors which might be able to mitigate the negative effects of such a high workload. In Germany, many people with serious or life-threatening illnesses are treated in non-specialized palliative care settings such as nursing homes, hospitals and outpatient care. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the buffering role of resources on the relationship between workload and burnout among nurses. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was applied. The questionnaire included parts of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) (scale ‘quantitative demands’ measuring workload, scale ‘burnout’, various scales to resources), the resilience questionnaire RS-13 and single self-developed questions. Bivariate and moderator analyses were performed. Palliative care aspects, such as the ‘extent of palliative care’, were incorporated to the analyses as covariates. 497 nurses participated. Nurses who reported ‘workplace commitment’, a ‘good working team’ and ‘recognition from supervisor’ conveyed a weaker association between ‘quantitative demands’ and ‘burnout’ than those who did not. On average, nurses spend 20% of their working time with palliative care. Spending more time than this was associated with ‘burnout’. The results of our study imply a buffering role of different resources on burnout. Additionally, the study reveals that the ‘extent of palliative care’ may have an impact on nurse burnout, and should be considered in future studies.

“…In medicine and nursing, experts have raised awareness that professional values should be taught to starting professionals in order to create a shared culture of practice and stimulate a commitment to the profession's values . Such a commitment may improve patients’ health outcomes, as was found in a recent study among nurses …”

For example, in many countries, pharmacists take public oaths, mostly at the graduation ceremonies of pharmacy schools.…”

Objectives The aim was to recognise the professional core values in the moral dilemmas of pharmacists in community pharmacy and to customise the descriptions of these values for community pharmacy practice. Methods The narratives of 128 moral dilemmas, collected from Dutch PharmD students and early career pharmacists who experienced these dilemmas in practice, were qualitatively analysed. An expert panel deductively coded relevant portions of these narratives with the core values as formulated by the Royal Dutch Pharmacists Association. Other values that emerged were inductively coded and if possible used to further customise the respective core values. Key findings The expert panel identified all four professional core values, that is, commitment to the patient's well‐being (117, 91.4%), reliable and caring (116, 90.6%), pharmaceutical expertise (72, 56.2%) and responsibility to society (30, 23.4%) in the 128 moral dilemma narratives. Thirteen other values that emerged in the analysis could all be used for the customisation of the professional core values in descriptions that better reflect community pharmacy practice. Conclusions Professional core values were identified in moral dilemma narratives of pharmacists in community pharmacy and customised for their practice. These customised core values can enable pharmacists to better recognise moral dilemmas in practice. This can add to the advancement of the profession as a pharmaceutical care practice.

“…Nurses' reluctance in using diapers is reflected in findings of the recent research, although some nurses are comfortable in using diaper because of being habituated to it. As nurses' professional commitment and its effect on patient care is not correlated with years of expertise (Al-Hamdam, Dalky, & Al-Ramadneh, 2018), novice nurses have better flexibility to adopt new idea/device than do experts. Although the developed pad might still look like a diaper, it is not a diaper.…”

In Japan, diapers are often used to wash bedridden patients’ hair by placing the diaper under the patient’s head for ease of use and efficiency. However, using diapers for the head is an ethical problem as diapers are originally used for elimination care. Developing better equipment to wash hair is necessary to comfort patients and reduce nurses’ workload. Our industry-academia-clinical collaboration team developed a disposable absorbent pad particularly for washing patients’ hair in bed. This study aimed to evaluate this pad developed for bedridden patients. The trial was conducted in five departments at a university hospital between May and August 2016. The post-trial cross-sectional survey for nurses contained demographic data, evaluation of the pad with rating score as quantitative data, free comments as qualitative data, and comparison with diaper used experience. As this study involved development of an equipment and thus to facilitate data triangulation, mixed methods were used. The results revealed that 36 nurses participated (90% response rate). Most were in their 20s (69%). The overall evaluation was “good” (91%). Good water absorption, no water leakage, and easy usage were reported. In a comparison with diapers using experience, the majority preferred the developed pad (81%). Better structure, usage, and resolution of ethical issues were also confirmed in a comparison with diapers. The developed disposable hair washing pad is an efficient tool for nurses to wash bedridden patients’ hair. As it is disposable, infections are also controlled well. Further manufacturing aspects need to be considered for mega production.
