“…The institution or department itself can also affect stress levels. Staff employed at university hospitals evaluated the presence of stress as statistically significant compared to staff employed at general hospitals or specialized hospitals in view of “Organizational Stress Factors” (29). Staff working at a hospital department rated the presence of stress as statistically significant in view of “Management Requirements”, whereby previous studies highlighting Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Emergency Departments (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) could not have been confirmed.…”

BackgroundSurveys conducted among healthcare workers revealed that nursing staff often face various stressors associated with occupational activities, which reduce their work efficiency. The aim of the study was to establish the level of stress in nurses working at hospitals in Slovenia and to identify stress-related factors.MethodsA cross-sectional epidemiological design and a standardized instrument called the “Nursing stress scale” were used. The sample included 983 nurses from 21 Slovenian hospitals. The research was conducted in 2016.ResultsPrevalence of high level of stress was 56.5% of respondents (M (median)=75). Prevalence of high level of stress and stress factors may be statistically significant attributable to dissatisfaction at work (p<0.001), disturbing factors at work (p<0.001), inability to take time off in lieu after working on weekend (p=0.003), shorter serving (p=0.009), fixed-term work (p=0.007), and an increased number of workdays on Sunday (p=0.030).ConclusionThe stress rate and stress factors are substantially influenced by variables reflecting work organization, competences and skills of healthcare management to work with people. Results reflect the need for nursing management and policy makers to design strategies to ensure adequate staffing, efficient organization and an encouraging work environment.

“…Nevertheless, very few studies have accounted for the correlation between work-value orientation and professional identity statuses. Using a sample of nurses, Caricati et al (2014) showed that holding intrinsic more than extrinsic work values drove participants to be more committed to their profession, which in turn enhanced their job satisfaction. Similarly, Marletta et al (2014) found that nurses in the achievement and searching moratorium statuses showed higher intrinsic but also extrinsic motivations than did individuals in moratorium and foreclosure statuses.…”

“…In addition, job satisfaction can be accounted for a central determinant of turnover, work performance, and outcome and general well-being of workers; therefore, both organizational psychology and nursing management, work climate, professional commitment and work value orientation are considered as important factors. [27] In future, further research is required for experimental investigations to clearly identify the benefits of a transition program compared to the traditional program.…”

Introduction: Despite the structural concept and framework of the preceptorship program developed by Hospital Authority could facilitate the transitional period amongst preceptees, during implementation, the content of the program solely emphasizes on the skill and knowledge and the aspect of psycho-social support is being neglected. Objectives: The aims of this study were to facilitate smooth psycho-social and professional reality integration for first-year preceptees during the transition to Registered Nurses in UCH, to foster a caring culture for newly graduated RN and to promote a sense of belonging and commitment to ToUCH. Method: The ToUCH program entails 3-domain of integrations and 6-stage of themes. A mixed method research study was conducted between 11th August 2014 and 16th July 2015. Three validated questionnaires were adapted to assess preceptees' competencies, stress level, and coping ability respectively along their employment of first year. Result: All newly graduated registered nurses in August 2014 (n = 98) with majority of female (71.4%) were invited to participate in the study. Using a ANOVA test to compare the difference of measuring outcomes at baseline and other 4 measuring points after program commencement, there was a significant increase in overall mean clinical competence [F (4, 473) = 13.53, p < .0001)]. The overall mean Occupational Stress Scale of Newly-graduated Nurse (OSSNN) was significant improvement [F (4, 471) = 8.5, p < .0001]. It was found that new graduates had a significant improvement in goal-setting, effort investment, persistence when encountering barriers and recovery from setbacks [F (3, 371)=7.77, p < .0001]. When comparing the 2013 preceptee's resignation rate, the 2014 preceptee's resignation rate has prominently proved the ToUCH program more effective to increase retention. It was found that the rate of resignation due to work stress was sharply decreasing from 5 to 1 out of 85 and 101 preceptees 2013 and 2014 respectively. Conclusion: This one-year ToUCH program can increase preceptees' confidence in providing patient care, cope with stress more effectively as well as return quickly to state of mind after suffering stress. Based on the findings, increased skill competencies and improved stress level suggest that the ToUCH program enriches bonding, promotes sense of belonging and maintains a high retention rate of new graduates.
