“…They had experienced more stress in situations of the death and dying; problems in dealing with patients and patient families, and felt discriminated. These findings of our study are consistent with a study at a university hospital in USA that less experienced nurses got less support from coworkers [30]. Other research on Japanese nurses found that nurses with less work experience were less likely to be adequately prepared and were more likely to be uncertain about treatment [31].…”

Abstract:Background: Stress is frequently associated with critical care nursing. Nurses experience stressful situations in their daily working environments. Objective: To study occupational stress and stressors experienced by nurses working in intensive care units at public hospitals of Khartoum state. Methods: A cross-section study was carried at 14 public hospitals. A sample of 139 nurses was chosen by a simple random sampling technique. The nurses were interviewed by a questionnaire including Expanded Nursing Stress Likert Scale and the main factors that contribute to work-related stress. Data was managed by statistical package for social science version 20. Results: The mean score of overall occupational stress experienced by nurses was 1.88 with standard deviation of 0.50. The analysis of stress domains revealed that nurses rated the death and dying situations as the most stressful (M=2.23; SD=0.56), followed by workload (M=2.16; SD=0.61) and problems with supervisors (M=2.07; SD=0.82). The mean of occupational stress perceived when dealing with patients and their families was 1.92 ± 0.62 and stress due to uncertainty concerning treatments was 1.92 ± 0.68. While less occupational stress encountered in situations of problems with peers (M=1.89; SD=0.72), inadequate preparations (M=1.87; SD=0.74) and conflicts with physicians (M=1.73; SD=0.68). The least stressful domain was discrimination (M=1.10; SD= 0.82). Perceived occupational stress is significantly affected by socio-demographic determinants of participants such as marital status, working experiences and the type of ICU. Conclusions: The main sources of stress experienced by critical care nurses in Khartoum state hospitals were death and dying situations and workload. Work experiences were found to be significantly associated with stress perception in critical care nurses. The findings suggest that perceived stress does vary within different types of intensive care units.

“…Previous research in nursing has confirmed a positive relationship between engagement and self-efficacy as well as job satisfaction [10,11]. Research has also found significant associations between engagement and personal factors such as mental health, locus of control, and job satisfaction [12,13].…”

1) Background: Aware that engagement in the healthcare field needs high levels of emotional intelligence, we began this study in to the relationship between engagement and emotional intelligence in nurses. The objective of this study was to determine the explanatory value of the components of emotional intelligence for engagement in a sample of nurses, and to identify which of the emotional intelligence components have the greatest explanatory value for dimensions of engagement, by sex.; 2) Methods: The final study sample was made up of 2126 working nursing professionals with a mean age of 31.66 (SD=6.66). To compile the data, an ad hoc questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic information, and to collect professional and employment information, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Reduced Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Adults.; 3) Results: The results show that nurses with higher levels of emotional intelligence also scored more highly in engagement, with the Interpersonal factor being the greatest predictor of engagement.; and 4) Conclusions: This study have significant practical implications for the creation of intervention programs and activities to improve the performance of nurses in the workplace.

“…Los resultados en cuanto al engagement obtenidos por el presente estudio son similares a los obtenidos por otros estudios previos realizados en Italia (22) , a excepción de las puntuaciones obtenidas en la sub-escala de Energía, cuyas cifras son más altas en la presente muestra. Esto mismo ocurre en el estudio realizado en el sur de Suiza (23) donde las puntuaciones obtenidas en la sub-escala de energía son menores a las obtenidas en la muestra estudiada.…”

“…En cuanto a los resultados obtenidos en las sub-escalas que miden las seis áreas de la vida laboral, únicamente la sub-escala de Justicia presenta incongruencia entre los individuos y la organización, de igual manera que en el estudio realizado por Fiabane (22) , pero no así en otros estudios donde aparece incongruencia entre los individuos y la organización en las sub escalas de Carga manejable y Justicia (23,26,27) . El hecho de que siempre aparezca la sub-escala de Justicia como incongruente entre los individuos y la organización destaca que los profesionales sanitarios sienten que las organizaciones para las que trabajan los tratan de manera injusta, o no tan justa como a ellos les gustaría, por lo que desarrollar modelos que mejoren estos sentimientos de justicia mejorarían de manera directa el engagement de los individuos con la organización.…”

Materiales y Método: Estudio descriptivo, transversal, con abordaje cuantitativo, en el que participaron 305 profesionales de enfermería.

Resultados: La mayoría de los participantes eran mujeres, con pareja estable e hijos, con edad media de 44,98 años (DT 10,86). El 35,4% de la muestra presenta altos niveles de engagement (altos niveles de energía, implicación y eficacia). El estado civil, la situación laboral del cónyuge y padecer enfermedades crónicas se relaciona con los niveles de eficacia; las actividades de ocio se relacionan con los niveles de energía e implicación. La valoración del clima laboral se relaciona con las tres áreas del engagement; la edad, el tiempo en la unidad de trabajo, los años como enfermera y el tiempo en un puesto de dirección se relacionan con la implicación. Conclusiones: La población estudiada presenta altos niveles de engagement laboral y congruencia entre las sub-escalas de la vida laboral y la organización, con la excepción de la sub-escala de justicia, puesto que los individuos encuestados creen que la organización los trata de forma injusta.Palabras clave: Enfermeras Clínicas; Personal de Enfermería; /enfermería; Salud Laboral; Satisfacción en el Trabajo ABSTRACT:Objectives: To determine the level of engagementy the relationship with the six areas of work life in nursing professionals in the city of Huesca (Spain) and its association with socio-demographic and labor variables.
