“…Furthermore, that empowering workplaces retain nurses and prevent burnout (Meng et al, 2015). Additionally, positive relationships were found between staffs' access to structural empowerment and patient satisfaction (Engström et al, 2021), staff‐rated quality of care (Engström et al, 2011), professional nursing practice behaviours (Manojlovich, 2010) and evidence‐based practice (Engström et al, 2015).…”

“…First‐line managers (FLMs) play a central role in providing access to these structures. Studies have shown links between the nursing staff's perceived access to empowering structures in the workplace and positive outcomes for both staff (Cicolini et al, 2014; Engström et al, 2011) and patients (Engström et al, 2021). FLMs should provide their staff access to empowering structures.…”

“…To sum, there are a number of quantitative studies supporting links between empowering structures and staff well‐being (e.g., Engström et al, 2011; Spence Laschinger et al, 2011) and some related to care quality (e.g., Engström et al, 2011, 2021). There are a few interview studies supporting Kanter's theory of structural empowerment (e.g., Eriksson & Engström, 2015, 2018; Skytt et al, 2015).…”

Aim:The aim was to study how first-line managers act to make structural empowerment accessible for nursing staff and furthermore to relate these observations to the manager's and their nursing staff's descriptions regarding the staff's access to empowering structures.Background: Staff access to empowering structures has been linked to positive workplace outcomes. Managers play an important role in providing the conditions for structural empowerment.Method: Five first-line managers were observed for two workdays. Managers and staff (n = 13) were thereafter interviewed. Field notes and interviews were analysed using directed content analysis. Results:The managers displayed intentional actions that could enable their staff access to empowering structures. Managers and staff described the importance of staff's access to empowering structures. Conclusion:Staff who perceive to have access to structural empowerment have managers who are present and available. Unanimity among managers and staff existed in regard to the importance of staff having access to structural empowerment. The managers work continually and intentionally, doing many things at the same time, to provide the staff access to empowering structures. Implications for Nursing Management:The study shows the importance of promoting managers' awareness of staff's access to structural empowerment and maximizing managers' presence and availability to their staff.

Job satisfaction among physicians providing health care to the elderly in Japan: a qualitative study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Physicians' job satisfaction plays an important role in service delivery. Japan is a country with a higher number of elderly people and their medical care is a crucial issue. To date, no study has been conducted on the job satisfaction of geriatricians serving the elderly in Japan. This study aims to explore the job satisfaction and motivation of physicians providing health care to the elderly working at different hospitals in Japan. Methods In‐depth interview of 23 geriatric physicians was conducted and data were coded and analysed. Qualitative content analysis was conducted to identify the response themes. Results Three major themes emerged from the analysis and they are: satisfaction as a primary care provider, career development, and suitable communication with patients. Geriatric physicians enjoy their work with inter‐professional collaboration and are satisfied to provide primary health care to elderly people. Geriatrics is a very promising career to them and they enjoy the communication and empathetic doctor‐patient relationship in their service. Conclusions Japanese physicians providing health care to the elderly are enjoying their work due to a suitable environment, multi‐professional collaboration, work‐life balance, and patient‐doctor relationship.

Aim To systematically analyse and synthesize studies investigating job satisfaction (including turnover and turnover intention) and wellbeing (physical, social and psychological including work stress, acculturation stress and sick leave) among migrant care workers in nursing homes. Design An integrated review was conducted. Methods Joanna Briggs Institute's manual guided the analysis of qualitative data ( n = 31). Quantitative data ( n = 17) were summarized and integrated with the qualitative findings. Results Migrants described high job demands, limited control and social support, and stress possibly related to acculturation. Although, compared to natives (born in the country), inconsistent results were reported about wellbeing and job satisfaction, migrant care workers reported enjoying the relational aspects of work and feeling pride when providing care. A satisfying work environment for migrant care workers enables them enjoying working in elderly care with pride. Public Contribution Help managers to promote an inclusive working life in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 8.
