Staff satisfaction with work, perceived quality of care and stress in elderly care: psychometric assessments and associations

Abstract

There was support for the instruments' validity and reliability. Older age, higher scores/satisfaction with workload, cooperation, expectations and demands, personal development and lower scores on internal motivation contributed to less stress.

Professional quality of life and organizational changes: a five-year observational study in Primary Care

“…The role of "intrinsic motivation" is less clear. In some studies "intrinsic motivation" was related to greater stress [25], but in others motivation along with a good acceptance of changes were related to better job satisfaction [2]. As expected, we found "intrinsic motivation" to be a consistent resource to copy changes over time.…”

“…In some studies it seems to protect against job stress [25], while in others this increases over time in practice [27]. Perhaps there are other factors, not measured in this study, which could increase with time and could improve job control, such as the position in the team and social support.…”

Burnout in Relation to Specific Contributing Factors and Health Outcomes among Nurses: A Systematic Review

“…Although a number of articles identified in this review have confirmed significant relationships between work related stressors and burnout [25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,59,60,77,78], job satisfaction [11,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,81] as well as general health, these relationships are predominantly two way relationships with only a handful of studies confirming three way relationships [64,65,71,84]. Among the studies confirming two way relationships, only one study confirming the relationship between job satisfaction and general health [85] was identified.…”

“…Work related stressors including job complexity, feedback/clarity, leadership styles, opportunities for promotion and growth, autonomy, workload [74,75,76], relations with the head nurse, peers and physicians, job conflict, cooperation, expectations and demands, development and motivation are related to job satisfaction and health complaints [77,78]. Contrary to this, other findings suggest that higher stress levels among nurses were associated with more health complaints but not with job satisfaction [79].…”

A longitudinal study of working life among first-line managers in the care of older adults

“…The total score was used in the present study, and responses are rated on a 7-point scale. Stress symptoms were investigated using the factor "perceived stress symptoms" (10 items) from the Psychosomatic Health Aspect Scale (Engstrom, Ljunggren, Lindqvist, & Carlsson, 2006). The responses are rated on a 5-point scale.…”
