It has long been recognized that increased job satisfaction comes from teamwork where coworkers enjoy and help each other (Ames et al., ). Shader, Broome, West, and Nash () found that working in teams with a sense of unity curtails nurse burnout and turnover.…”

“…The problems posed by high rates of turnover of nursing staff and the associated costs are well recognised. The reasons why nurses leave the profession are complex, although significant factors appear to be dissatisfaction with management, lack of support from senior personnel, and a desire for increased autonomy and greater involvement in decision-making (Ames et al, 1992).…”

The recruitment and retention crisis in UK nursing puts many reforms outlined in recent health policies at risk. Increasing bureaucratisation of health care, unattractive working conditions, poor pay and the emotionally exhausting nature of the work are associated with high rates of burnout and workplace violence. Some nurses prefer agency work, some leave because they cannot reconcile a caring role with working in the NHS. It seems that health care has become emotionally distant and the profession's longstanding attachment to caring through interpersonal relationships has been overridden by a high-technology, fast-track system of care management. To retain the principles and ethos of nursing at the centre of health developments, attention must be given to the micro-environments in which nurses work.

While much research is available on the job satisfaction of nurses in general, little is known about the job satisfaction of rehabilitation nurses. The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study was to identify job characteristics that are related to job satisfaction in rehabilitation nursing. The target population was rehabilitation nurses throughout the United States. The McCloskey-Muller Satisfaction Scale was used to measure three dimensions of job satisfaction: safety rewards (potential against dangerous threats), social rewards (the need to belong), and psychological rewards (autonomy, responsibility, recognition, and appreciation). Respondents rated their satisfaction with aspects of their current job by selecting a response from a 5-point Likert scale for 31 items in these three dimensions. The results suggest that rehabilitation nurses are satisfied with scheduling, extrinsic rewards, coworkers, social interactions, professional opportunities, delivery of care, praise, recognition, and responsibility. They are, however, less satisfied with child care facilities, balance between family and work, opportunities to participate in organizational decision making, control in the work setting, and career advancement. Opportunities to participate in nursing research or to write and publish neither satisfied nor dissatisfied the majority of respondents. Nursing administrators need to examine the factors that provide job satisfaction to rehabilitation nurses so as to retain capable nurses in the practice environment.
