Work Environment Factors

Background: The work environment factors associated with nurses’ intention to leave their jobs are not well understood because most studies have used non-probabilistic sampling methods, thus restricting the generalizability of the results. This study examined the relationship between work environment factors and intent to leave among nurses working in acute care hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Methods: This study included a random sample of 1,427 registered nurses who were part of a larger cross-sectional study and who responded to a mailed survey that included measures of resource availability, interprofessional collaboration, job satisfaction, and demographics. Results: Most of the respondents were female (94.8%), with an average age of 45.6 years, and 14.5 years of nursing experience at their current workplace, which included mostly urban (94.6%) and non-teaching hospitals (61.8%). In the multivariate model, we observed that the work environment variables explained 45.5% of the variance in nurses’ intent to leave scores, F(9, 1362) =125.41, p < .01, with an R2 of .455 or 45.5%. Job satisfaction ( p < .01), flexible interprofessional collaborative relationships ( p = .030), and resource availability ( p < .01) were significantly associated with nurses’ intent to leave scores. Conclusion/Application to Practice: Nurses who reported greater job satisfaction, flexible interprofessional relationships, and resource availability were less likely to express an intent to leave their hospital workplaces. Employers and health policy makers may use these findings as part of a broader strategy to improve the work environment of nurses. Occupational health nurses are ideally positioned to demonstrate leadership in promoting retention efforts in the workplace by advocating for the importance of job satisfaction, flexible interprofessional relationships, and resources.

Introduction Care coordination is a priority concern for healthcare systems. In Colombia, there is a lack of information on the topic. This study analysed how doctors of two Bogotá’s public healthcare networks perceived coordination between healthcare levels and what factors are associated with their perception. Methods A cross-sectional study using the COORDENA-CO questionnaire to a sample of 363 doctors (network-1 = 181; network-2 = 182) in 2015. The questionnaire asks about types and dimensions of care coordination: information and clinical management, with items in a Likert scale, as well as conditions regarding health system, organisational and doctors’ conditions. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed. Results The doctors’ perception of a high level of coordination did not exceed 25.4%. On coordination of information, limited transfer of clinical information was found. Concerning clinical management, there were limited care coherence, deficits in patient follow-up and lengthy waiting times for specialised care. A high perception of coordination were associated with being female, being over 50 years old, being a specialist, having less than one year’s working experience, working less than 20 h per week at the centre, forming part of network-1, having time available for performing coordination tasks, having job satisfaction and not identifying limitations imposed by healthcare insurers. Discussion There was limited perception of coordination, in its different dimensions and types with some differences between networks. The results support the importance of guaranteeing job satisfaction, ensuring sufficient time to coordination-related activities and intervening in the restrictions imposed by healthcare insurers to improve care coordination.

Aim: To evaluate the overall job satisfaction among periodontists, highlighting the significance of intrinsic and extrinsic factors and their satisfaction level with patients, facilities, and workplace when working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: An interview-type questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was formulated and consisted of total 38 questions in 8 domains. Contact details of registered periodontists were taken and a weblink containing details of the questionnaire using the tool SurveyMonkey was sent to periodontist from the office of Saudi Dental Society. A single investigator was done to minimize bias evaluated with all the responses. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for tabulation of descriptive analysis. Standard deviation, percentages and means were calculated. Results: Out of the total 75 emails sent to the periodontists, 65 (86%) responses were received. 63 (96.9%) of the respondents were Saudi nationals, whereas the rest 2 (3.1%) were non‑Saudis. 40 (61.5%) respondents were males, whereas 25 (38.5%) were females. Majority of the respondents were dentists 43 (66.2%). 32.3% reported better professional growth as the main reason for choosing periodontal profession. However, a vast majority of the respondents, 56.9% stated that working as a periodontist was their first choice. 49.3% of the respondents affirmed that they were pleased with the working environment as it was conductive and professional. Approximately, 73.9% of the periodontist were of the view that they had good relations with their patients. Conclusion: Job satisfaction among periodontists working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was adequate as majority of them displayed a positive attitude toward working environment, their profession, peers, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors related to periodontal profession. Clinical Significance: Job satisfaction plays a vital role in delivering standard quality health care. Dissatisfaction in job may lead to stress, anxiety, and/or depression leading to compromised health care facilities and patient satisfaction.
