“…Being positively and morally supported is important for nurses’ well-being ( Littzen, 2021 ; Rainbow et al, 2021). Feeling supported in the work environment influenced nurses' intention to stay in the workforce during COVID-19 ( Sanner-Stiehr et al, 2022 ). Furthermore, resilience, a process of recovering from burnout or stress (Rink et al, 2021), was reported to be at a moderate level during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Baskin & Bartlett, 2021 ).…”

“…Nurse resiliency models integrated into the organizational structure of healthcare systems at the individual, organizational, and community levels are a way to protect nurses’ well-being ( National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2021 ). In addition to institutional support, having a dedicated resource monitoring plan and employee support plan across institutions contributes to a safe and calm environment ( Sanner-Stiehr et al, 2022 ).…”

“…This paper analyzes a subset of the data and focuses on the relationship between the HHS and nurses' fatigue in the LTC settings. Another recently published study reported the relationship between support from work and nurses' intent to stay in acute and ambulatory settings (Sanner-Stiehr et al, 2022). The study was approved by the University of Kansas Medical Center Institutional Review Board (STUDY00145794).…”

Objectives: Evaluate the relationship between nurses’ perception of the long-term care (LTC) environment, specifically having visible and accessible hand hygiene stations (HHS), and nurses’ fatigue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Background: LTC nurses experience not only heavy workloads and fatigue but also a high risk of infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies have evaluated the relationship between safety measures such as having visible and accessible HHS and nurses’ fatigue. Methods: The cross-sectional COVID-19 Impact on Nurses Study (COINS) was an online survey distributed to members of the American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing through the REDCap survey platform, between June 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021. Logistic regression modeling was conducted to identify the relationship between nurses’ perception of having visible and accessible HHS and fatigue among LTC nurses. Results: The majority of LTC nurse respondents (78.35%) reported having moderate to very severe fatigue. Nurses who reported not having enough visible and accessible HHS in their work environment have statistically significantly higher odds (odds ratio [ OR] = 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.20, 0.70], p = .002) of reporting experiencing moderate to very severe fatigue compared to nurses who perceived there was adequate HHS. The logistic regression is significant while controlling for sociodemographic differences, guilt for family and patients, support from work, and confidence in the future of LTC. Conclusions: This study reveals the LTC environment that incorporates better considerations of more visible and accessible HHS might mitigate nurses’ fatigue during the pandemic. A conceptual framework has been proposed for future studies.

“…Existing research on paramedics' health primarily focuses on the negative aspects, associating their poor overall health perception, physical condition and particularly high levels of perceived stress with their intention to leave their profession (see Blau & Chapman, 2016 ; Mirzaei et al., 2021 ; Skrikanht et al., 2022 ). Nevertheless, emerging evidence suggests that a good quality of work life, employee participation in decision‐making (Aminizadeh et al., 2022 ) and strong organizational support, such as managerial endorsement of a healthy work–life balance (Ma et al., 2022 ; Petrie et al., 2018 ; Sanner‐Stiehr et al., 2022 ), can positively influence the intention to remain in demanding nursing roles. Likewise, recent systematic reviews have identified that overall job satisfaction (de Vries et al., 2023 ; Pressley & Garside, 2023 ), favourable career development opportunities and a sense of work–life balance (de Vries et al., 2023 ) enhance retention rates in the nursing sector.…”

AimTo investigate the association between paramedics' salutogenic health and their intentions to stay in their profession.DesignA cross‐sectional survey.MethodsParamedics from eight purposively selected organizations participated in this study (n = 433). The data were collected in 2022 with the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale and validated single questions that assessed work ability, recovery and self‐rated stress. Intention to stay was measured using two questions about the intention to leave prehospital emergency medical service work and leave the nursing sector completely during the next 2 years. Data were analysed using logistic regression and statistical significance tests.ResultsMen had higher mean salutogenic health scores than women. No significant differences in salutogenic health were observed across work experience or occupational groups. Paramedics intending to stay in their profession exhibited higher salutogenic health scores than those intending to leave. In the logistic regression models, increasing levels of salutogenic health and work ability were associated with intention to stay in the profession.
