“…In contrast, greater availability of support services was associated with higher levels of work engagement and better work conditions. These findings have been similarly documented in other studies (Cimiotti et al, 2005;Choi, Bakken, Larson, Du, & Stone, 2004;Mark et al, 2003;McCusker, Dendukuri, Cardinal, Laplante, & Bambonye, 2004). Patient acuity and unit size, however, did not have a direct effect on structure because we limited the sample to medical-surgical units, and in so doing, restricted variability in patient acuity and unit size in our sample.…”

“…The sample profile did not differ from other surveys conducted. (4,(8)(9)(10) With regard to gender, the prevalence was feminine, and when it came to age, the majority were young nurses. A discrepancy was only found in one study that observed an average age of 39.6 years and professional activity time in intensive care units of eight years.…”

Objective: To analyze the work environment in intensive care units from public and private hospitals. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 66 nurses in four intensive care units. Two questionnaires were used for data collection, one for the socioeconomic profile and the other composed by the subscales of the validated Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index-Revised (B-NWI-R). Results: The nurses reported a favorable work environment for the exercise of professional nursing practices in the intensive care units (overall mean = 1.95 and SD = 0.40). By comparing private and public hospitals it was observed that the overall score of the B-NWI-R reached values of 1.91 (SD = 0.39) and 1.99 (SD = 0.42), respectively, with a p-value of 0.459. Conclusion: The four intensive care units analyzed in this study presented favorable work environments for nursing practices. The fact of belonging to private or public hospitals was not significant in the analysis. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar o ambiente de trabalho em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva em hospitais privados e públicos. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado em quatro unidades de terapia intensiva do qual participaram 66 enfermeiros. Utilizou-se dois instrumentos de pesquisa, um para caracterização socioeconômica e as subescalas do Nursing Work Index Revised versão brasileira validadas (B-NWI-R). Resultados: Os enfermeiros consideraram que as unidades de terapia intensivapossuem ambientes de trabalho favoráveis ao exercício da prática profissional em enfermagem (média geral= 1,95 e dp=0,40).Ao comparar as UTI dos hospitais privados e públicos observa-se que o escore geral do B-NWI-R alcançou os valores de 1,91 (dp=0,39) e 1,99 (dp=0,42) respectivamente com p=0,459. Conclusão: As quatro UTI analisadas apresentaram ambientes favoráveis à prática profissional em enfermagem. O fato de pertencer a hospitais privados e públicos não foi significativo na análise.

“…Organizational climate was measured using the PNWE 39) ; here organizational climate as well as nurse demographics was controlled for in examining the independent effect of shift length on burnout. They found that nurses working 12-h shifts were significantly less likely than nurses working 8-h shifts to report one of the dimensions of burnout, namely emotional exhaustion.…”

Increasing interest has been focused on understanding the role working conditions play in terms of the serious issues facing hospitals today, including quality of patient care, nurse shortages, and financial challenges. One particular working condition that has been the subject of recent research, is the impact of organizational climate on nurses' well-being, including occupational health outcomes. To examine evidence-based research on the association between organizational climate and occupational health outcomes among acute-care registered nurses, a systematic review of published studies was conducted. Studies assessing the association between organizational climate variables and three common health outcomes in nurses (blood/body fluid exposures, musculoskeletal disorders, and burnout) were reviewed. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Although most were cross-sectional in design and variability was noted across studies with respect to operational definitions and assessment measures, all noted significant associations between specific negative aspects of hospital organizational climate and adverse health impacts in registered nurses. While evidence for an association between organizational climate constructs and nurses' health was found, data were limited and some of the relationships were weak. Additional studies are warranted to clarify the nature of these complex relationships.
