Abstract

Aim: To study the impact of role, job‐ and organizational characteristics on nurse managers' work related stress and well‐being such as feelings of emotional exhaustion, work engagement, job satisfaction and turnover intention. Background: Various studies investigated role‐, job‐ and organizational characteristics influencing nurse‐related work environments. Research on nurse managers' related work environments define influencing factors, but, a clear understanding of the impact of nurse‐managers' work‐environment characteristics on their work related stress and well‐being is limited. Design: A cross‐sectional design with a survey. Methods: A cross‐sectional survey (N = 365) was carried out between December 2011–March 2012. The questionnaire was based on various validated measurement instruments identified by expert meetings (e.g. staff nurses, nurse managers and executives and physicians). Hierarchical regression analyses were performed using emotional exhaustion, work engagement, job satisfaction and turnover intentions as outcome variables. Results: Study results showed one out of six nursing unit managers have high to very high feelings of emotional exhaustion and two out of three respondents have high to very high work engagement. Hierarchical regression models showed that role conflict and role meaningfulness were strong predictors of nursing unit managers' work related stress and well‐being, alongside with job‐ and organizational characteristics. Conclusion: Several risk factors and stimulating factors influencing nurse unit managers' work related stress and well‐being were identified. Further challenges will be to develop proper interventions and strategies to support nursing unit managers and their team in daily practice to deliver the best and safest patient care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
