“…Indicators of psychological well-being were viewed as positive self-esteem, rewards, achievements, and sense of belonging as factors related to nurses' positive experiences [33,34]. Indicators of independent competence were work independence, scope of work, and growth experience as factors related to nurses' capability to do the work given to them during their shifts [35,36]. Indicators of social relationships included interpersonal relationships, social advocacy, true collaboration, and authentic leadership as factors related to the network of social relationships with coworkers [37,38].…”

Background As the importance of a healthy work environment for nurses' good practice and patient safety has been recognized, there is a need to assess nurses' perceptions of the quality of a healthy work environment. Methods The initial items for the instrument were developed through literature review and interviews. The initial items were evaluated for content validity by ten experts. Two hundred and forty-seven shift nurses participated in this study through face-to-face surveys to test the reliability and validity of the instrument. The evaluation was used for item and confirmatory factor analyses to assess the criterion-related validity and internal consistency of the instrument. Test-retest reliability was analyzed using data from thirty-two nurses. Results The final instrument consisted of 23 items with five sub-factors identified through confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion-related validity was established using the K-PES-NWI (r = .54). Cronbach's alpha for the total items was .85, and test-retest reliability was .73. Conclusion The results confirmed the validity and reliability of the developed instrument. This instrument can be used as a basis for evaluating the healthy work environment quality of shift nurses and creating a desirable nursing work environment.

“…The International Labour Organization [ 20 ] considers occupational wellbeing as being constructed from all aspects of working life, including the workers’ perceptions of their work, the physical and mental working environment and the working community; considering these aspects will generate healthy, satisfied and engaged workers. The wellbeing was much studied in occupations such as physicians [ 19 ], nurses [ 18 ] and educators [ 21 ], and studies have shown that occupational wellbeing was influenced by leadership style, work environments, social support, employees' opportunities and work relationships [ 18 , 22 , 23 ]. Previous studies have mostly focused on the impacts of work-related factors.…”

Background Mother–infant care (MIC) helpers have become an indispensable part in hospital services. In order to stabilize the MIC workforce, it is essential for administrators to have a solid understanding of what may influence occupational wellbeing. This article aims to explore how demographic characteristics and psychological contract affect occupational wellbeing among MIC helpers in Zhejiang Province, China. Methods This is a quantitative, cross-sectional study with MIC helpers in obstetrics from 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. A questionnaire including demographic data, a psychological contract scale and an occupational wellbeing scale was used in this study. Multiple linear regression was conducted to investigate the relationships between demographic characteristics, psychological contract and occupational wellbeing. Results This study surveyed 260 MIC helpers and found out the mean score of the psychological contract was 4.38 and the mean score of the occupational wellbeing was 4.01. Monthly income and psychological contract were significant predictors of occupational wellbeing (F = 142.167, p < 0.001), which explained 62.1% of the total amount of variance in occupational wellbeing. Psychological contract was the most important predictor of occupational wellbeing. Conclusions Administrators should pay attention to the effect of psychological contract on occupational wellbeing of the MIC helpers in China. Focusing on the inner needs should be considered as a strategy for stabilizing the team.

“…Educators' occupational well‐being is related to students' welfare (Harding et al, 2019 ; Saaranen et al, 2015 ), the quality of teaching (Saaranen et al, 2015 ), work productivity (Alker et al, 2015 ) and job retention (Chambers Mack et al, 2019 ; Yedidia et al, 2014 ). A well‐functioning work community with good information policies and work organization (Vauhkonen et al, 2021 ), a positive work atmosphere and employee appreciation (Laine et al, 2018b ) support employee's occupational well‐being. Occupational well‐being, especially about the work community perspective, remains understudied in social and health care education.…”

Aim To evaluate factors related to the occupational well‐being of social and health care educators' work communities during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design A cross‐sectional study was conducted among social and health care educators in Finland 2020. Methods Data ( n = 552) were collected through a questionnaire containing continuous, Likert scale and categorical variables. Descriptive, exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression modelling were used for analysing the data. Results Educators regarded their work as meaningful and experienced collegiality. Age and work experience were related to experiences on work community subscales and community occupational well‐being. Personal occupational well‐being and activities promoting occupational well‐being on the community level were most related to experiences of the work community and its well‐being. The activities that promote occupational well‐being on the work community level should be emphasized.
