Work satisfaction is known to be one of the major factors related to nurses' quality of care. Being able to apply the professional principles of training influences work satisfaction. The nursing ethical code is a good manifestation of these professional principles. The everyday strains on nurses' work might compromise the amount of energy invested in following the ethical code. The gap between the ethical requirements (as perceived by the nurse) and the perceived extent to which they are applied will influence work satisfaction through the mediating effect of role conflict. Demographic variables including age, tenure and number of children might also exert an effect. Structured questionnaires were used to measure the perceptions of nurses regarding their ability to follow the ethical code in a large hospital in Israel. Practical considerations meant that the questionnaire focused on client privacy issues in the ethical code. Results support the mediating hypothesis as the 'ethical gap' did not correlate directly with work satisfaction. This paper highlights that professionalization, manifested by the ethical code, should be applied on an everyday basis in the workplace.

The impact on 357 newly licensed pharmacists, graduates of two colleges, of efforts to tum pharmacy into a clinical profession, was examined by way of a self-administered questionnaire.Perceptions and expectations about work, differences in consulting practices, relationships between practice and attitudes, and the presence or absence of an identifiable general value orientation (which could account for spedfic perceptions and attitudes), were examined. Results indicated that hospital practice was more likely to be associated with clinical pharmacy and clinical pharmacy practice was more likely to meet the expectations of recently graduated pharmacists. In addition, 52 per cent of the community-based pharmacists were found to engage in patient counseling, as compared with 39 per cent of hospital-based pharmacists. Newly licensed pharmacists are deepening the existing divisions in the profession, while moving toward a revision of their place in the health care delivery system.

“…It showed that hospital pharmacists experienced low job satisfaction, with an average of 2.53 on a five-point scale. However, they had a more significant commitment to their work and ethics ( Johnson et al, 1977 ). Although pharmacist job satisfaction is an important topic; especially with all the new technologies used to aid in their work, no recent studies have been conducted in our region or globally.…”
