“…The intention to leave an organization is a dynamic motivational process driven by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Nevertheless, the literature globally tends to focus on factors addressing intrinsic needs such as autonomy, control and nurse–physician relationships in the Nursing Work Index (Dutra & Guirardello, 2021; Pursio et al, 2021). Massive evidence addressing intrinsic factors, one omnipresent extrinsic factor that is often, overlooked is pay.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Iran was one of the most severely affected countries with around 50,000 new cases reported daily at its peak (World Health Organization, 2022). Job demands are notoriously high for nursing, and the outbreak of COVID-19 overstretched nurses in Iran given the limited resources and manpower (Mirzaei et al., 2021). Nurses were working under unprecedently challenging conditions: heavy workload, high risk of infection, insufficient protective gears; some nurses are quitting or considering quitting

“…In 2000, Aiken and Patrician revised it and presented a new version named the Nursing Work Index Revised (NWI-R) [ 48 ], with 57 items. Since then, the instrument has been widely used to measure the nursing practice environment and study its relationship with patient outcomes and job satisfaction [ 30 , 33 , 34 , 36 , 49 , 50 ]. In the present study, the validated Portuguese version of the NWI-R-PT was used [ 44 ].…”

Background: The morbidity associated with ageing has contributed to an increase in the prevalence of Pressure Ulcers (PUs) in all care settings. The impact of these on people’s quality of life and the extent of the associated economic and social burden constitutes today, by their importance, a serious public health problem. This study aims to describe the nursing work environment in Portuguese long-term care (LTC) units and to assess how this environment relates to the quality of PU care. Methods: A longitudinal study among inpatients with PUs was conducted in LTC units. The Nursing Work Index-Revised Scale (NWI-R) was sent to all nurses in these units. Cox proportional hazard models were used to relate the satisfaction degree with the service (measured by the NWI-R-PT items) to the healing time of the PUs, adjusting for confounders. Results: A total of 165 of 451 invited nurses completed the NWI-R-PT. Most were women (74.6%) and had 1 to 5 years of professional experience. Less than half (38.4%) had education in wound care. Of the 88 patients identified with PUs, only 63 had their PU documented, highlighting the difficulties in updating electronic records. The results showed that the level of concordance with Q28 “Floating so that staffing is equalised among units” is strongly associated with a shorter PU healing time. Conclusion: A good distribution of nursing staff over the units will likely improve the quality of wound care. We found no evidence for possible associations with the questions on participation in policy decisions, salary level, or staffing educational development and their relationship with PUs healing times.

Background: As an important organisational feature, the nurse work environment has been associated with increased work effectiveness, reduced patient safety issues and improved care quality. However, the mechanism underlying this association remains unexplored. Aim: This study aims to assess the mediating role of interprofessional collaboration in the relationships between nurse work environment, select patient safety outcomes and job satisfaction. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study used five standardized scales and included 881 clinical nurses employed in select teaching hospitals in Oman. Results: Nurses who worked in teaching hospitals in Oman perceived their work environment as highly favourable. Nurse work environment was directly and indirectly associated with nurse-assessed quality of care, adverse patient events and job satisfaction, through interprofessional collaborations. Conclusion: Findings of the study suggest that enhancing nurse work environments can be a potential strategy to foster interprofessional collaboration and improve job satisfaction and patient safety outcomes. Implications for Nursing Management: Organisational strategies to improve patient safety outcomes and job satisfaction in nurses can be facilitated by improving nurses' work conditions and enhancing interprofessional collaboration through supportive leadership, theory-driven approaches, obtaining hospital accreditation/certification and relevant workplace policies.
