“…The average scores of nurses in each unit for each subscale were used for analysis. The reliability and validity of this scale have been confirmed (Lake, ; Ogata, Nagano, & Akanuma, ; Ogata et al, ).…”

Aim Critical thinking is vital in implementing evidence‐based practice. However, little is known about factors related to critical thinking among nurses in Japan. This study aims to comprehensively explore the organizational and personal factors related to critical thinking disposition among hospital nurses in Japan. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional, self‐administered questionnaire survey. Critical thinking was measured using the 33‐item Japanese Critical Thinking Disposition Scale. We asked nurse managers about organizational characteristics of hospitals/units and about their critical thinking disposition. We questioned staff nurses regarding personal characteristics, cultural construal of self, self‐esteem, perception of their work environment and workload, experiences of nursing research, and critical thinking disposition. We conducted multiple regression analysis to identify factors associated with staff nurses' critical thinking. Results We analyzed data from 68 nurse managers and 986 staff nurses. The staff nurses' mean age was 37.6 years and 91% of the participants were female. Factors related to higher critical thinking were working in an emergency unit (β = .07, p = .040); having a bachelor's degree or higher qualification (β = .07, p = .030); having higher independent view of self (β = .22, p < .001), self‐esteem (β = .24, p < .001), and perceived workload (β = .10, p = .002); and training experience of nursing research in post‐licensure education (β = .15, p < .001). Conclusions The factors influencing critical thinking disposition are mainly related to personal characteristics or experiences. Providing research training for nurses may contribute to fostering critical thinking.

“…This subscale includes three items that were scored using a four‐point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree) with higher scores indicating better nurse–physician relations. The PES‐NWI was found to have acceptable internal consistency reliability and content validity (Ogata et al, ). Accordingly, this sample had a Cronbach's α coefficient of .89.…”

“…Nurse–physician collaboration was assessed using the “Collegial Nurse–Physician Relations” subscale of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES‐NWI) (Lake, ; Ogata, Nagano, & Nishioka, ). This subscale includes three items that were scored using a four‐point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree) with higher scores indicating better nurse–physician relations.…”

Factors influencing work engagement among psychiatric nurses in Japan

Aim To identify the factors influencing work engagement among psychiatric nurses. Background Work engagement is an essential outcome that promotes nurses' performance, but studies investigating its influencing factors remain limited in psychiatric settings. We hypothesized that job resources and personal resources positively predict psychiatric nurses' work engagement and have a particularly positive impact on engagement when job demand is high. Methods This cross‐sectional study included 425 Japanese psychiatric nurses. Data regarding demographics, job resources, personal resources (emotional intelligence), job demand (patients' attitude towards nurses) and work engagement were collected followed by data analysis using hierarchical multiple regression. Results Reward, supervisor support, nurse–physician collaboration, other‐emotion appraisal and use of emotions were positively related to work engagement. Patients' unpleasant attitude towards nurses boosted the association of reward and supervisor support with work engagement. Conclusions Certain job resources, empathic ability and self‐motivation ability may enhance work engagement. Furthermore, reward and supervisor support may be particularly useful when psychiatric nurses face patients' unpleasant attitude. Implications for Nursing Management For enhancing psychiatric nurses' work engagement, nursing leaders should educate nurses' skills related to empathy and self‐motivation, consider whether nurses are confronted with patients' unpleasant attitude, and improve the job resources.

“…The US version of the PES-NWI is considered a valid and reliable instrument, with internal consistency coefficients originally reported for its five subscales as ranging from α = 0.71 (i.e., acceptable) to 0.85 (i.e., good) [5, 6] in the US. A recent study in Japan ( N = 1219 PES respondents) indicates international reliability (Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.78 to 0.86 for subscales and 0.79 for the composite score) [7]. The 30-item Australian version (the PES-AUS) has one less item than the PES used in the US and elsewhere.…”

Benchmarking nurse outcomes in Australian Magnet® hospitals: cross-sectional survey

et al. 2019

BackgroundPositive reports of nursing-related outcomes such as quality nursing care, nursing engagement with work and good practice environment are crucial in attaining and maintaining Magnet® designation. The majority of Magnet®-designated organisations (N = 482) are in the USA, with their aggregate nursing outcomes widely published as benchmark data. Australian Magnet® outcomes have not been aggregated or published to date.MethodsThe aims are to benchmark educational preparation, occupational burnout, job satisfaction, intention to leave and working environment of nurses in Australian Magnet®-designated facilities and to determine the reliability of the Practice Environment Scale-Australia.The design is a cross-sectional multisite survey set in all three Australian Magnet®-designated organisations.The demographics included age, gender, level of education, years in practice, level of seniority and position title. Two items measured job satisfaction and intent to stay in current employment. The Maslach Burnout Inventory explored the three domains of nursing engagement: depersonalisation, personal achievement and emotional exhaustion. The Australian version of the Practice Environment Scale interrogated participants’ perceptions of their work environments.Results2004 nurses participated (response rate 45.9%). Respondents’ mean age was 39.2 years (range 20–72). They were predominantly female and had worked in their current facility for more than 5 years. Eighty five percent had a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree. Eighty-six percent of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with their current position. Eighty eight percent had no intention of leaving their current employer within the next 12 months. Participants rated their hospitals highly in all domains of the practice environment. Respondents reported less burnout in the personal accomplishment and depersonalisation domains than in the emotional exhaustion domain, in which they reported average levels of burnout. The internal consistency of the Practice Environment Scale-Australia was confirmed in this sample (Cronbach α’s 0.87–0.9 for subscales and 0.89 for composite score).ConclusionIn this paper, we present nursing outcome data from all Australian Magnet® hospitals for the first time. This provides a benchmark that facilitates comparison with nursing outcomes published by Australian non-Magnet® hospitals and with international Magnet® organisations.
