“…PHNs are better equipped to understand the needs and the goals of the organization when they have more information, which can improve work e ciency. This result supported the premise of the cognitive model of empowerment and accorded with studies that stated that employees with stronger self-e cacy would make more efforts to cope with the challenges of client outcomes and would feel more effective in their work (Piper, 2011;Royer, 2011;Flowers et al, 2020).…”

“…In the workplace, conditions such as leadership, organizational resources, organizational manpower, and time distribution play important roles in nursing productivity, as suggested in nursing-related studies (Royer, 2011;Uner & Turan, 2010). Assessment of such conditions involves consideration of numerous personal factors, such as experience, knowledge, attitude, mental and physical preparation, and feelings.…”

Background: This study explored the effect of public health nurses’ current community care nursing competency on the psychological and organizational empowerment of public health services in Taiwan.Method: A cross-sectional survey design and a self-developed structured questionnaire were administered to Taiwanese public health nurses, recruited using a purposive sampling technique, who participated in community health care workshops offered by Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2019.Results: The majority of subjects were aged between 40 and 49 years and reported working in public health for over 10 years. Furthermore, 89.30% of the subjects worked in a Public Health Center. The mean score of Community Care Nursing Competence (CCNC) was 3.92 ± 0.83 (measured using a five-point Likert scale). The mean score in Community Empowerment (CE) was 3.66 ± 0.90, between “Neutral” and “Agree.” The CCNC was positively correlated with the workplace. The CE was positively correlated with age. The CCNC was positively correlated with psychological and organizational empowerment. The stepwise regression revealed that age (B = 0.18, p = .021) and communication competence (B = 0.17, p = .002) positively predicted community empowerment. Conclusions: The study revealed that age and communication competence were crucial factors in public health nurses working in the community. With age and through the accumulation of practical experience, Taiwanese public health nurses’ communication competence may also improve, which can further enhance their psychological and organizational empowerment in the nursing workplace.

“…Participants spanned the scope of PHC and included community nurses, primary health nurses, general practice nurses, school nurses, and district nurses. In some studies the data from various primary care nursing groups was reported in an aggregated form [ 32 ], whilst in other papers there was an attempt to tease out the differences between groups [ 26 , 29 ].…”

Job satisfaction and career intentions of registered nurses in primary health care: an integrative review

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundThere has been a significant growth of the international primary health care (PHC) nursing workforce in recent decades in response to health system reform. However, there has been limited attention paid to strategic workforce growth and evaluation of workforce issues in this setting. Understanding issues like job satisfaction and career intentions are essential to building capacity and skill mix within the workforce. This review sought to explore the literature around job satisfaction and career intentions of registered nurses working in PHC.MethodsAn integrative review was conducted. Electronic databases including: CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science, and reference lists of journal publications were searched for peer-reviewed literature published between 2000 and 2016 related to registered nurse job satisfaction and career intentions. Study quality was appraised, before thematic analysis was undertaken to synthesise the findings.ResultsTwenty papers were included in this review. Levels of job satisfaction reported were variable between studies. A range of factors impacted on job satisfaction. Whilst there was agreement on the impact of some factors, there was a lack of consistency between studies on other factors. Four of the six studies which reported career intentions identified that nearly half of their participants intended to leave their current position.ConclusionThis review identifies gaps in our understanding of job satisfaction and career intentions in PHC nurses. With the growth of the PHC nursing workforce internationally, there is a need for robust, longitudinal workforce research to ensure that employment in this setting is satisfying and that skilled nurses are retained.
