Abstract

Following deinstitutionalization, inpatient psychiatric services moved from state institutions to general hospitals. Despite the magnitude of these changes, evaluations of the quality of inpatient care environments in general hospitals are limited. This study examined the extent to which organizational factors of the inpatient psychiatric environments are associated with psychiatric nurse burnout. Organizational factors were measured by an instrument endorsed by the National Quality Forum. Robust clustered regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between organizational factors in 67 hospitals and levels of burnout for 353 psychiatric nurses. Lower levels of psychiatric nurse burnout was significantly associated with inpatient environments that had better overall quality work environments, more effective managers, strong nurse-physician relationships, and higher psychiatric nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. These results suggest that adjustments in organizational management of inpatient psychiatric environments could have a positive effect on psychiatric nurses' capacity to sustain safe and effective patient care environments.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Participation in hospital affairs is not associated with Emotional Exhaustion, but only with Personal Accomplishment.

    “a further study did not found an association between participation in hospital affairs and Emotional Exhaustion, but only with Personal Accomplishment [50]”

    From Burnout in nursing: a theoretical review. (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

    The Results section supports the absence of an adjusted association between participation in hospital affairs and emotional exhaustion, though it reports a significant association before adjustment. It contradicts the claim that participation was associated with personal accomplishment: no organizational factor was associated with that outcome in either model. The supplied passage has no page number. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • Perceived nurse manager's ability is related to Emotional Exhaustion and Personal Accomplishment.

    “and Emotional Exhaustion and Personal Accomplishment [50]”

    From Burnout in nursing: a theoretical review. (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

    The Discussion (‘Strong Mangers and Leaders’) reports a significant relationship between manager skill and emotional exhaustion. The Results state that none of the work-environment factors, including manager skill, were associated with personal accomplishment in the adjusted or unadjusted models. The claim is therefore supported for emotional exhaustion but not personal accomplishment. (LLM, conf=0.92)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Quality of nurse-physician relationship is associated with Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalisation, but not Personal Accomplishment.

    “quality of nurse-physician relationship was associated with Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalisation, but not PA [50]”

    From Burnout in nursing: a theoretical review. (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

  • Having foundations for quality of care is associated with reduced Emotional Exhaustion only.

    “one study found that having foundations for quality of care was associated with reduced Emotional Exhaustion only [50]”

    From Burnout in nursing: a theoretical review. (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

  • The better rated the work environment, the lower the likelihood of experiencing Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalisation.

    “four studies found the same relationship, but on both Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalisation [50, 66, 93, 94]”

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.
