The relationships between paediatric nurses' social support, job satisfaction and patient adverse events

Abstract

Adverse events are those avoidable outcomes that result from wrong healthcare services, not from the disease itself ( Van den Bos et al., 2011). Adverse events are common in all healthcare systems and are considered an important aspect of patient safety. Only in the United States, around 440,000 people died in 2013 because of avoidable adverse events (Schwendimann et al., 2018). In 2008, the adverse events' estimated cost was approximately 17 billion dollars in the United States (Van den Bos et al., 2011).The causes of the adverse events are numerous and interrelated with job satisfaction and support the nurses receive. For instance, work-related stress was associated with more adverse events (Karimi et al., 2018). On the other hand, recognition of nurses, which is considered a type of support, was associated with higher job satisfaction (Al Maqbali, 2015).A Jordanian study found that the most common types of nurseperceived patient adverse events are medication errors, nosocomial infections, pressure ulcers and patient falls (Hayajneh et al., 2010). In the same study, researchers estimated the adverse events occurred

Burnout, quality of life and perceived patient adverse events among paediatric nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic

“…Adverse events are usually measured by asking nurses about the perceived frequency, rate or number of adverse events, which is referred to ‘nurse‐envisioned patient adverse events’ (Cho et al, 2016 ; Van Bogaert et al, 2014 ). The adverse events are known to be under‐reported by nurses for several reasons such as the fear of disciplinary actions (Ullström et al, 2014 ), blame (Heard et al, 2012 ) and lack of coworker support (Khatatbeh, Al‐Dwaikat, et al, 2021 ). The most familiar kinds of nurse‐envisioned patient adverse events are medication errors, hospital‐acquired infections, pressure ulcers and falls.…”

Sleep quality and the associated factors among in-hospital nursing assistants in general hospital: A cross-sectional study

“…According to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test result, the distribution of scores from quality of sleep was abnormal. However, differences of quality of sleep between participants with different categories were tested using independent t -test and one-way ANOVA due to the following reasons [ 25 , 26 ]: (a) parametric tests are more powerful than the non-parametric tests; (b) the results of Kolmogorov–Smirnov test are not necessarily true; and (c) the data were normally distributed according to histograms and plot ( Figure 1 ). We also determine which factors should be included in the linear regression based on t -value and one-way ANOVA results [ 27 ].…”

How to Engage Health Care Workers in the Evaluation of Hospitals: Development and Validation of BSC-HCW1—A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Because of the large number of KPIs, we narrowed our focus to those that are directly related to the demands of HCWs at each BSC perspective. In tandem with reviewing 34 studies in the literature [ 2 , 6 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ], we separately examined 77 causal linkages between each BSC dimension or KPIs and HCW satisfaction and loyalty, as explained in the perspectives below. We made this choice since HCW satisfaction was deemed one of the latest affected perspectives in the strategic maps [ 53 ].…”

“…Social factors such as the community and patients’ appreciation [ 21 ], as well as the social status of the job [ 50 ] and organizational prestige [ 50 ], were found to increase HCWs’ job satisfaction. Moreover, family support was found to reduce burnout levels among HCWs [ 27 ], which in turn increases HCW satisfaction. On the other hand, other environmental factors, such as building-related factors and infrastructure, lighting, noise, and space, affected HCWs’ ability to work and consequently their satisfaction [ 21 , 49 , 50 ].…”
