Abstract
Aim: To describe what registered nurses' experience to be important to job satisfaction in nursing home settings.
Design: This is a qualitative study based on data from individual interviews.
Methods: Sixteen registered nurses working in nursing homes were interviewed, and their responses were analysed with systematic text condensation.
Results: A total of six categories were developed to describe various aspects of job satisfaction among registered nurses at nursing homes: meaningfulness is essential, to possess control and manageability is central, a possibility to balance daily challenges with professional development, supportive leadership is imperative, the nursing team's competence and companionship, and being confident in one's own profession.
Conclusion: In the present study, meaningfulness was essential to job satisfaction, and work was experienced to be meaningful and engaging when the demands were manageable, the workload controllable, and when the registered nurses felt supported by management and co-workers. Conversely, if the demands were too high, the workload was beyond their control and the nurses felt unsupported, then the work felt meaningless and thus unsatisfactory.
