“…[42] Different generations have different values, goals, priorities, work ethics, attitudes, expectations, and perceptions of their work and work settings. [43] For example, Sirias, Karp and Brotherton found that Gen-Xers were self-reliant and had a greater preference for working alone than Baby Boomers. [44] Furthermore, a critical review of the literature showed there is less interest in teamwork with each successive generation.…”

Objective: Staffing models employing registered nurses (RNs) and registered practical nurses (RPN) have created the opportunity for enhanced collaboration in acute care settings. However, little is understood about how these nurses collaborate and the factors that influence their collaboration. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the factors that influenced collaboration among RNs and RPNs at one acute care hospital in Canada in order to understand and improve nursing collaborative practice. Methods: Using an explanatory, sequential mixed methods design, data were collected over several months in 2016 from the nurses using a questionnaire and individual telephone interviews. Sixty-five RNs and RPNs working on medical, surgical and emergency units completed the "Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale" survey and ten RNs and RPNs participated in the telephone interviews. Results: Quantitative analysis showed lower scores among younger nurses across most domains of the survey: conflict management, communication, shared processes, coordination and professionalism. Qualitative analysis revealed working to full scope of practice was a facilitator of RN-RPN collaboration, and older age and poor interpersonal skills were barriers to successful collaboration. Conclusions: The results provide discussion for identification of strategies to improve collaborative practice among nurses such as establishing joint education programs for RNs and RPNs, and the use of models or frameworks to guide collaborative practice in healthcare organizations.

Introduction: Despite the structural concept and framework of the preceptorship program developed by Hospital Authority could facilitate the transitional period amongst preceptees, during implementation, the content of the program solely emphasizes on the skill and knowledge and the aspect of psycho-social support is being neglected. Objectives: The aims of this study were to facilitate smooth psycho-social and professional reality integration for first-year preceptees during the transition to Registered Nurses in UCH, to foster a caring culture for newly graduated RN and to promote a sense of belonging and commitment to ToUCH. Method: The ToUCH program entails 3-domain of integrations and 6-stage of themes. A mixed method research study was conducted between 11th August 2014 and 16th July 2015. Three validated questionnaires were adapted to assess preceptees' competencies, stress level, and coping ability respectively along their employment of first year. Result: All newly graduated registered nurses in August 2014 (n = 98) with majority of female (71.4%) were invited to participate in the study. Using a ANOVA test to compare the difference of measuring outcomes at baseline and other 4 measuring points after program commencement, there was a significant increase in overall mean clinical competence [F (4, 473) = 13.53, p < .0001)]. The overall mean Occupational Stress Scale of Newly-graduated Nurse (OSSNN) was significant improvement [F (4, 471) = 8.5, p < .0001]. It was found that new graduates had a significant improvement in goal-setting, effort investment, persistence when encountering barriers and recovery from setbacks [F (3, 371)=7.77, p < .0001]. When comparing the 2013 preceptee's resignation rate, the 2014 preceptee's resignation rate has prominently proved the ToUCH program more effective to increase retention. It was found that the rate of resignation due to work stress was sharply decreasing from 5 to 1 out of 85 and 101 preceptees 2013 and 2014 respectively. Conclusion: This one-year ToUCH program can increase preceptees' confidence in providing patient care, cope with stress more effectively as well as return quickly to state of mind after suffering stress. Based on the findings, increased skill competencies and improved stress level suggest that the ToUCH program enriches bonding, promotes sense of belonging and maintains a high retention rate of new graduates.

“…There was a need to create a theory based on the fact that nurses in different generational groups have unique work ethics and perspectives on work (12). Instead of ageing, Jackson (4) has studied newly qualified registered nurses' experience and description of a good day and provided an explanation of how a good day made them feel about nursing.…”

“…In this study, there is an assumption that every age group has unique work ethics and different perspectives on work. Boychuk Duchscher and Cowin (12) write that the nursing profession contains 4 generational groups (Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials), all of which have divergent approaches to work. That is the reason why the theory of ageing nurses Well-being at work among nurses was developed: theories describing all age groups cannot be adapted to any one set of ageing workers.…”

Objectives. The aim of this study was to create a substantive theory of the well-being at work among ageing hospital nurses in Northern Finland. Study design. A grounded theory study. Well-being at work was studied from a positive viewpoint to determine what evoked well-being on the job. The aim was to discover core processes of the phenomenon based on nurses' authentic experiences. Methods. The subjects of this study (n=21) were nurses working at a university hospital in Northern Finland, aged 45-55 years with at least 10 years of hospital work experience, doing 3-shift work. The material consisted of first-phase open interviews (n=4) and diary entries (n=4), and of second-phase interviews (n=4) and open-data collection forms (n=9) based on these, according to theoretical sampling. The material was studied using a constant comparison analysis. Results. The core process of the well-being at work of ageing hospital nurses was found to be reciprocity in relation to colleagues (nurse-nurse interaction) and patients (nurse-patient interaction). Conclusions. Communal aspects were the characteristic features of well-being at work, which were grounded in the surrounding community. Well-being at work was linked to its target, and patient care was found to be the basis of nurses' well-being at work.
