Many female nurses engaged in unhealthy toileting behaviours and might not know what types of toileting behaviours are healthy. Nurses play an important role in patient education and are a major source of health information for society. It is particularly important to look more closely at toileting behaviour among nurses and implement education and training to promote healthy toileting behaviour and, in turn, optimise bladder health.
Aim:This study aims to identify the role that spiritual climate has in reducing burnout and intentions to leave amongst clinical nurses.Background: Both shortages and the high turnover of nurses are challenging problems worldwide. Enhancing the spiritual climate amongst nurses can enhance teamwork, organisational commitment and job satisfaction and can play a role in reducing burnout and turnover intention.
Methods:A total of 207 clinical nurses working at a tertiary university hospital were included in this cross-sectional, single-site study. Independent-samples t test and ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to explore the relationships amongst related factors.
Results:Most clinical departments showed a moderate spiritual climate (60.24 ± 0.82) with high job burnout (33.62 ± 0.28) and turnover intention (2.37 ± 0.57). A good spiritual climate was correlated with high job satisfaction (r = 0.412, p < 0.01), low burnout and turnover intention (r = −0.423, p < 0.01 and r = −0.292, p < 0.01, respectively). Spiritual climate could also indirectly influence nurses' job burnout and turnover intention (R 2 = 10.31%).
Conclusions: Different departments have different spiritual climates. The findings from this study indicate that spiritual climate may impact nursing burnout and turnover. Implications for nursing management: Using a spiritual climate scale provides health care decision-makers with clear information about staff spirituality wellbeing. Interventions to improve spiritual climate can benefit teamwork in clinical departments. K E Y W O R D S burnout, job satisfaction, nurses, spiritual climate, spirituality, turnover intention
Stigma reduction may help incontinent women to form positive treatment-seeking attitudes and engage them in treatment. Interventions should specifically target the self-stigma domains of social isolation and internalised shame in women with urinary incontinence to most efficiently increase their use of health care.
