“…Overall, participants were neutral or undecided about their work environment. The results were similar to those of previous studies conducted with nurses at high‐class general hospitals located in Korea (Cho et al, ; Kim & Yom, ). The American Nurses' Credentialing Center grants a certification called Magnet hospital to institutions that have good working environments to encourage the provision and maintenance of high‐level nursing services (Lake & Friese, ).…”

Aim This study investigated the association between nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction among clinical nurses. Background Nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction are important factors for preventing burnout and decreasing clinical nurse turnover. Method This study used a secondary analysis and obtained data from a previous cross‐sectional study. Results The mean scores (mean ± SD) for the nursing work environment and compassion satisfaction were 2.54 ± 0.34 and 33.40 ± 6.69, respectively. As the results of hierarchical regression, staffing and resources (β = 0.175, p = .002) and collegial nurse–physician relationships (β = 0.103, p = .038) were significantly associated with compassion satisfaction. Conclusion Improving the nursing work environment could be an effective way to boost compassion satisfaction among nurses. Therefore, organizational support for adequate human resources and materials and mutual relations among nurses and physicians are needed. Implications for nursing management Improvements to the work environment and the management of human resource may increase compassion satisfaction in clinical nurses.

“…Nursing work environment had the second greatest impact on nurses’ intent to leave, which was also consistent with previous results (Currie & Carr Hill, ; Lu et al, ; Moon & Han, ). As nursing work environment can also enhance the quality of various services provided by nurses (Lake, ), improving an organisation's productivity and boosting the social perception of nurses (Cho et al, ), it is crucial to develop specific and diverse measures to improve nursing work environment. Burnout was also found to affect nurses’ intent to leave, corroborating previous studies (Kang & Kim, ; Lu et al, ; Nantsupawat et al, ) that have reported burnout hinders nurses’ work performance by inducing psychological pressure and physical problems in nurses (Lake & Friese, ).…”

Aims To investigate the intent to leave or stay among Korean hospital nurses, and to identify what factors influence their intent to leave or stay. Background Previous studies have simply measured nurses’ intent to leave or stay; however, this study examines the associations of intent to leave and intent to stay with influential factors among Korean hospital nurses. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 267 nurses working at four general hospitals in South Korea. Result The influencing factors on intent to leave were organisational commitment, practice environment and burnout, while intent to stay was influenced by organisational commitment. Conclusion The study demonstrates that, for Korean hospital nurses, intent to leave and intent to stay are not simply contrary concepts, but are different concepts influenced by varying factors. Implications for Nursing Management This study clarifies the difference between the concepts of intent to stay and intent to leave, and demonstrates that the variables affecting Korean nurses’ intent to stay and intent to leave differ from each other. Therefore, focusing on improving nurses’ intent to either leave or stay would be effective when developing personnel management policies for nurses, thereby contributing to enhancing nursing practice.

“…Nurse staffing was computed as the average number of patients that nurses reported caring for on their last shift. The nurse work environments were measured using the Korean Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) (Cho et al, 2011), which is composed of 29 items scored using a Likert-type scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree) that are summed to form five subscales (nurse participation in hospital affairs, nursing foundation for quality of care, nurse manager ability-leadership-support of nurses, staffing–resource adequacy, and collegial nurse–physician relationship). The average of each subscale for all nurses in each hospital was calculated, as was the overall medians for each subscale across all hospitals.…”

“…Hospitals with four or five of the subscale totals above the median were categorized as having “better” work environments, those with two or three subscale totals above the median were categorized as providing “mixed” work environments, and those with only one or no subscale total above the median were categorized as having “poor” work environments. The reported Cronbach’s alpha of these five subscales in the original PES-NWI ranged from 0.71 to 0.84 (Lake, 2002), and the Cronbach’s alpha for these subscales in the Korean PES-NWI ranged from 0.80 to 0.84 (Cho et al, 2011). Nurse education was measured by calculating the percentage of nurse respondents in each hospital with at least a Bachelors’ degree.…”

Background While considerable evidence has been produced showing a link between nursing characteristics and patient outcomes in the U.S. and Europe, little is known about whether similar associations are present in South Korea. Objective To examine the effects of nurse staffing, work environment, and education on patient mortality. Methods This study linked hospital facility data with staff nurse survey data (N=1,024) and surgical patient discharge data (N = 76,036) from 14 high-technology teaching hospitals with 700 or more beds in South Korea, collected between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. Logistic regression models that corrected for the clustering of patients in hospitals were used to estimate the effects of the three nursing characteristics on risk-adjusted patient mortality within 30 days of admission. Results Risk-adjusted models reveal that nurse staffing, nurse work environments, and nurse education were significantly associated with patient mortality (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.00–1.10; OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.31–0.88; and OR 0.91, CI 0.83–0.99; respectively). These odds ratios imply that each additional patient per nurse is associated with an 5% increase in the odds of patient death within 30 days of admission, that the odds of patient mortality are nearly 50% lower in the hospitals with better nurse work environments than in hospitals with mixed or poor nurse work environments, and that each 10% increase in BSN nurse is associated with a 9% decrease in patient deaths. Conclusions Nurse staffing, nurse work environments, and percentages of BSN nurses in South Korea are associated with patient mortality. Improving hospital nurse staffing and work environments and increasing the percentages of BSN nurses would help reduce the number of preventable in-hospital deaths.
