Nurses' job satisfaction and the quality of care received by patients in psychogeriatric wards

Abstract: SUMMARYThe methodology and part of the results of an in-depth observational study of four psychogeriatric hospitals are described, focusing on the quality of care received by patients and how this was affected by the level of job satisfaction among nurses. In all four hospitals two wards were selected for intensive study over a period of 4 5 months each. Quality of care was studied through standardized recording of staff's feeding, toileting and bathing of a stratified sample of patients. The findings point to… Show more

“…It is therefore worth noting that there are cross-sectional studies on staff intermediate outcomes and patient outcomes. For example, Robertson et al 688 found that nurse job satisfaction averaged at the ward level was related to observed standards of care delivery. Leiter et al 689 found that patients treated on wards where nursing staff averaged greater job-related emotional exhaustion (a dimension of burnout) were less satisfied with their nurses, doctors and average quality of care.…”

“…Ostroff, 1992;Currell et al, 2005) and hospitals (e.g. Robertson et al, 1995). A key limitation of most of these studies, however, is that they do not address the twin concerns of unobserved heterogeneity (the failure to control for characteristics which determine both satisfaction and performance) and endogeneity (the possibility that good performance brings personal rewards for employees which may, in turn, raise their SWB -see Lawler and Porter, 1967).…”

“…An observational study of four psychogeriatric hospitals in Scotland found that the quality of care provided was higher on wards where sta reported higher levels of job satisfaction (Robertson et al, 1995). Sta on`high satisfaction wards' were more likely to initiate interactions with patients, and patients were oered more choice, independence, personal attention, supervision, information and privacy during physical care tasks (Robertson et al, 1995).…”
