The purpose of this study was to calculate the combined effect size of nurse support programs on job satisfaction among hospital nurses. The PICO framework was used in this methodological study of systematic review and meta-analysis. Using nine electronic databases of four international and five Korean databases and applying the eligibility criteria, articles published from database inception through October 2022 were collected. A total of 24 Korean and international articles were selected following the PRISMA guidelines. The keywords of nurse, mentoring (preceptorship, internship, or residency) program, and job satisfaction were selected based on the PICO. The checklists for RCTs and quasi-experimental studies provided in the Joanna Briggs Institute of Critical Appraisal Tool were used for the quality assessment. The coded data were analyzed using MIX 2.0 statistical software. We analyzed the combined effect sizes, heterogeneity, funnel plot, Egger’s regression test, Begg’s test, subgroup analyses, and univariate meta-regression. The overall effects of the program on job satisfaction and organizational behavior such as organizational commitment, interpersonal relationships, self-efficacy, motivation, burnout, and turnover intention for hospital nurses were statistically significant. The results of this study may explain the effect of the nurse support program on job satisfaction and organizational behaviors for hospital nurses.
The aim of this study was to identify the influence of nursing unit team effectiveness on nursing care left undone and nurse-reported quality of care. This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 230 nurses working at general hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected in January 2023 using an online questionnaire. Nursing unit team effectiveness was measured, consisting of the following sub-scales: leadership of the head nurse, cohesion, job satisfaction, competency of nurses, work productivity, and coordination. Multiple regression analyses were used to assess relationships between nursing unit team effectiveness and nursing care left undone and nursing-reported quality of care. Among these sub-domains, the study found that the higher the coordination (β = −0.22, p < 0.001), the significantly lower the nursing care left undone. The higher the competency of nurses (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) and work productivity (β = 0.20, p < 0.001), the higher the nurse-reported quality of care. In addition, nursing care left undone had a negative effect on nurse-reported quality of care (β = −0.15, p < 0.001). Therefore, nursing managers should make efforts to manage team effectiveness in nursing units to improve nurse-reported quality of care.
Nursing surveillance is a defense mechanism that protects patients from adverse events, as it is a systematic process that contributes to nurses’ detection of and intervention in dangerous situations. This descriptive cross-sectional study examined the degree of nursing surveillance activity performed by clinical nurses, nurses’ perceived importance of nursing surveillance, and their perception of patient safety culture. The study aimed to identify the predictors of nursing surveillance activity. Participants included 205 clinical nurses from two secondary hospitals and two tertiary hospitals in Changwon-si and Cheongju-si, South Korea, who had at least one year of clinical experience. Nursing surveillance activity was high among nurses who were assigned fewer than 1.88 patients, who worked in a tertiary hospital, and those who scored 7.0 or higher in nurses’ perceived expertise. Nursing surveillance activity was significantly positively correlated with nurses’ perceived importance of nursing surveillance and patient safety culture. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of nursing surveillance activity. Nurses’ perceived expertise, perceived importance of nursing surveillance, patient safety culture, and type of hospital explained 65.3% of the variance of nursing surveillance activity. This study is significant as it provides an assessment of the extent and key predictors of nursing surveillance activity.
This study aims to analyze the concept of nursing surveillance among nurses caring for patients in acute care hospitals in Korea. The conceptual analysis was conducted using the hybrid model proposed by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim. In the theoretical phase, the attributes of nursing surveillance were explored through a literature review. In the fieldwork phase, the attributes of nursing surveillance were derived by analyzing interview materials. In the final analysis phase, nursing surveillance attributes and the related factors were integrated and confirmed. The attributes of nursing surveillance were systematic assessment, pattern recognition, the anticipation of problems, effective communication, decision-making, and performing nursing practice. Based on the theoretical basis of the nursing surveillance concept, this study identified the nursing surveillance concept as perceived by Korean nurses, and examined strategies to promote nursing surveillance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
