Registered nurses' perceptions of factors influencing nursing care quality: A structural equation modeling study

Abstract

Cambodia, like many other countries, is working to raise nursing care standards, including improving nurse work environments and nurse education. This descriptive, cross‐sectional study examined the factors influencing nursing care quality among 375 registered nurses from 12 government hospitals in Cambodia. The conceptual framework was modified from the Nurse Work Environment, Nurse Staffing, and Outcome Model, and five questionnaires were used. The hypothesized model fitted the empirical data and explained 12% of the variance in nursing care quality. Structural equation modeling revealed that nurse work satisfaction negatively affected nursing care quality, while the nurse practice environment and burnout had no effect. Nurse staffing had a positive direct effect on nurse work satisfaction, while nurse work satisfaction did not directly affect burnout. The results indicate that the highest impacting factors influencing nursing care quality were nurse work satisfaction and the indirect effect of nurse staffing on nursing care quality. Therefore, leaders and policymakers in government, health systems, and nursing across the country need to consider these results to enhance nursing care quality.

Relationship Between Self-Acceptance and Intention to Stay at Work Among Clinical Nurses in China: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey

“…Intention to stay in the job refers to an individual's tendency to continue to work with their current employer rather than seek other job opportunities ( 15 ). Previous studies have confirmed several factors related to intention to stay or leave, such as organizational characteristics ( 16 – 18 ), job embeddedness ( 19 ), job suitability ( 20 – 22 ), and job control ( 20 ).…”

Work hours and overtime of nurses working in Cambodian hospitals

“…A dichotomous variable for on‐call (yes/no) was used. A 24‐h on‐call required nurses to stay in the hospital and work for 24 h, which is a type of long shift (Koy et al., 2019 ). When nurses reported that they have worked 24‐h on‐call during their shift or during weekly work hours, we considered that these nurses worked the 24‐h on‐call.…”

Evaluation of nursing process competencies, nursing quality, and patient safety using virtual simulation with debriefing: A quasi-experimental study

“…Furthermore, RNs' competence is reported as an essential domain for reducing nosocomial infection in surgical units [ 12 ]. RNs typically perform skilled professional tasks for patients (such as nursing assessment, medication administration, and patient education); their roles mainly involve treatment-oriented activities and implementation of physician's orders [ 13 , 14 ].…”
