Abstract

Background: There is an increasing demand for comprehensive geriatric care. Nurse practitioners (NPs), who undergo specialized training, are situated to provide such care. In Israel, the role of a geriatric nurse practitioner was introduced in the health care system 10 years ago. However, little is known about the rate of professional satisfaction and realization of full potential among these nurses.

Purpose: The aims of this study are (1) to describe the geriatric NP workforce in Israel, (2) to measure the current geriatric scope of practice, and (3) to measure the geriatric NP satisfaction from their working environment.

Methodology: For this cross-sectional study, a survey, comprising three sections relating to demographics, professional qualifications and scope of practice, and career satisfaction, was sent to 53 geriatric nurse practitioners in Israel who currently work as geriatric nurse practitioners.

Results: Forty-seven nurses participated in the survey. Almost 64% reported that they are satisfied with their position, and 72% reported that they are able to fulfill their full scope of practice. The mean score for scope of practice was 68.31 out of a possible score of 100.

Conclusions: A number of qualifications were correlated with satisfaction at work, indicating that nurses tend to be more satisfied at work when they are able to fulfill their potential.

Implications: Ensuring nurse practitioners' ability to realize their full potential should be a goal of the health care system. Interventions should be in place to encourage nurses to perform tasks related to their work, for which they are trained.

以色列老年医学执业护士的最大执业范围和满意度。
背景:对老年综合护理的需求日益增长。经过专门培训的执业护士(NPs)可以提供此类护理服务。在以色列,10 年前就在医疗保健系统中引入了老年医学执业护士的角色。目的:本研究的目的是:(1)描述以色列的老年病学执业护士队伍;(2)衡量目前老年病学执业护士的执业范围;(3)衡量老年病学执业护士对其工作环境的满意度:在这项横断面研究中,我们向以色列 53 名目前从事老年医学护理工作的老年医学执业护士发送了一份调查问卷,其中包括与人口统计学、专业资格和执业范围以及职业满意度有关的三个部分:结果:47 名护士参与了调查。近 64% 的人表示对自己的职位感到满意,72% 的人表示能够完全履行自己的执业范围。在 100 分的满分中,执业范围的平均得分为 68.31 分:结论:多项资质与工作满意度相关,表明当护士能够发挥自己的潜能时,他们的工作满意度往往更高:启示:确保执业护士能够充分发挥潜能应该是医疗保健系统的一个目标。应采取干预措施,鼓励护士从事与其工作相关的任务,并为此接受培训。

期刊介绍: The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
