Background Job satisfaction is an important measure of cognitive as well as a behavioral component of employees’ feelings of comfort in their particular work. It is also the outlook and spirit of certain professionals towards their work. Nurses’ job satisfaction is a significant predictor of staff retention. Therefore, this study aimed to assess Nurse Practitioners’ Job Satisfaction and Associated Factors among Nurses Working at the University of Gondar Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia.Methods A cross-sectional study design was employed from May 15–20/2019. A total of 416 nurses participated in the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to select each study participant. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. A Minnesota satisfaction measurement tool was used to measure nurse practitioners’ job satisfaction. A binary logistic regression analysis was used. Variables having p-value < 0.05 in a multivariable analysis model were considered as statistically significant and independently associated with the outcome variable.Result A total of 416 study participants were used in the study with a response rate of 97.6%. In this study, 204(50.2%) of nurse practitioners were dissatisfied with their job. Motivational factors such as professional advancement (AOR = 2.737, 95% CI; 1.109, 6.751), work itself (AOR = 4.250, 95%CI; 1.645, 10.983), recognition at work (AOR = 11.869, 95% CI; 4.238, 33.241), growth at work (AOR = 6.272, 95% CI; 2.278,17.264), and hygienic factors; organizational policy (AOR = 5.623, 95% CI; 2.131, 14.836), relationship with friends (AOR = 6.112,95% CI; 2.393, 15.612), work-security (AOR = 6.562, 95% CI; 95% CI; 2.374,18.136), relationship with supervisor(AOR = 5.127, 95% CI; 1.796, 14.641), payment (AOR = 5.889, 95% CI; 1.989, 17.438), and working conditions AOR = 3.806, 95% CI; 1.195, 12.123) were the factors associated with nurses’ job dissatisfactionConclusions In this study, one of every two nurses experienced job dissatisfaction. Motivational factors such as professional advancement, work itself, recognition at work, growth at work, organizational policy, relationship with friends, work security, relationship with supervisor, payment, and working conditions were the factors associated with nurses’ job dissatisfaction.

“…Nurses who have disagreed with the payment were nearly 6times more likely to be dissatisfied compared to those who agreed to payment. Payment has a significant influence on job satisfaction (22,31,34). A study in Pakistan, salary is the main reason of satisfaction.…”

Background: Acute respiratory infection is manifested by cough accompanied by short rapid breathing which may be associated with death especially when there are other co-morbidities. From an estimated 5.4 million children under -five years that died in 2017-roughly half of those deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa and acute respiratory infection contributed to the highest number of deaths. The current study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of, and risk factors associated with, acute respiratory infection hospitalization in under-five years children hospitalized at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was carried out from May 01/2019 to July 10/2019. After the selection of participants using simple random sampling, face to face interview was performed using a semistructured pre-tested questionnaire. Data were also extracted from medical registration charts. We used EPI Info 7 for data entry and exported into SPSS 21 for analysis. Results were presented by simple frequency, percentage and mean for descriptive variables. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to test the association of covariates and outcome variable. Variables with a p < 0.2 during the bivariable binary logistic regression analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Variables with p < 0.05 were considered as significantly associated with acute respiratory infection. This study is reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline. (Continued on next page)Results: Four hundred and twenty-two under-five years' children attending the Pediatrics ward were included in this study. The prevalence of acute respiratory infection among under-five years' children in this study was 27.3%. Children aged below 12 months (AOR:3.39, 95% CI: 1. 19, 9.65), maternal age of 16 to 27 years (AOR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.03, 3.70), maternal age of 28 to 33 years (AOR: 2.73, 95% CI: 1.40, 5.34), lack of maternal awareness of handwashing (AOR: 2.79, 95% CI: 1.15, 6.76), rural residence (AOR:2.27, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.39), and lack of meningitis (AOR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.55), were significantly associated with acute respiratory infection. Conclusion: Acute respiratory infection was common among children under-five years. Child and maternal age, residence and maternal hand hygiene information were significant factors identified to be associated with an acute respiratory infection.

“…It provides justifications for decisions regarding recruitment and selection, training and development needs of existing employees and how to optimise the quality of work and efficiency within individual health care centres as well as the health system in general [18]. Accordingly, a poorly implemented PM system can be detrimental to staff morale, overall job satisfaction and result in high staff turnover rates [20,21]. The extent to which this has been investigated in health care settings is not clear.…”

Performance management methods and practices among nurses in primary health care settings: a systematic scoping review protocol

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Nurses make up the largest constituent of the health workforce. The success of health care interventions depends on nurses' ability and willingness to provide quality health care services. A well-implemented performance management (PM) system can be a valuable asset in ensuring that nurses are motivated, promoted, trained and rewarded appropriately. Despite the significant benefits of effective PM such as improved motivation, job satisfaction and morale, PM systems are highly contested. Therefore, it is important to examine evidence on PM methods and practices in order to understand its consequences among nursing professionals in primary health care (PHC) settings. Methods: The search strategy of this systematic scoping review will involve various electronic databases which include Academic Search Complete, PsycARTICLES. PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health Literature, Medline and Cochrane Library from the EbsocHost Database Platform. Electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, Union catalogue of theses and dissertations via SABINET online and WorldCat dissertations will be incorporated. A grey literature search will be conducted on websites such as the World Health Organization and government websites to find relevant policies and guidelines. The period for the search is from 1978 to 2018. This time period was chosen to coincide with the Declaration of Alma-Ata on PHC adopted in 1978. All references will be exported to Endnote library. Two independent reviewers will begin screening for eligible titles, abstracts and full articles. During title and abstract screening, duplicates will be removed. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will determine the quality of included studies. Thematic analysis will be used to analyse the included articles. Discussion: Evidence of preferences on PM methods and practices will generate insight on the use of PM systems in PHC and how this can be used for the purpose of improving nurses' performance and in turn, the provision of quality health care. We hope to expose knowledge gaps and inform future research.
