Abstract

The global nursing shortage poses challenges to healthcare accessibility, clinical outcomes, and patient safety. Researchers have explored factors that influence nursing attrition, and the Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits (NPPB) is one such factor that has gained attention. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the NPPB among registered nurses in Macao, a multicultural city with a unique healthcare system. A 33-item online questionnaire was used to collect data from 279 nurses. The questionnaire measured NPPB across 5 dimensions: positive occupational perception, personal enhancement, recognition from family and friends, decent nurse-patient relationships, and team belongingness. This study indicated that Macao nurses had a moderate level of NPPB. Nurse-patient relationships, income, and job stability received the most positive responses, while team belongingness received the lowest scores. These findings suggest that improvements are needed in team building, providing more opportunities for specialized training, and offering more career advancement opportunities.

横断面研究揭示了多元文化医疗保健系统中护士的适度专业利益。

全球护理短缺对医疗保健可及性、临床结果和患者安全提出了挑战。研究人员已经探索了影响护理人员流失的因素，护士的感知专业利益（NPPB）是其中一个受到关注的因素。本横断面研究旨在评估多元文化城市澳门注册护士的NPPB。采用33项在线问卷对279名护士进行问卷调查。问卷从5个维度测量NPPB：积极的职业感知、个人提升、家人和朋友的认可、良好的护患关系和团队归属感。本研究显示澳门护士的NPPB水平为中等。护患关系、收入和工作稳定性得到了最积极的回应，而团队归属感得到了最低的得分。这些发现表明，在团队建设、提供更多的专业培训机会和提供更多的职业发展机会方面需要改进。
