Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the differences in nurse-reported health of their work environment, job enjoyment, and intent to leave among those employed at New Jersey hospitals with Nursing Workplace Environment and Staffing Councils (NWESC).

Background: As an alternative to staffing ratio legislation, NWESC provides clinical nurses a structured venue to influence human resource allocation decisions and improve the health of the work environment.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional statewide study was conducted.

Results: Nurses at NWESC hospitals reported healthier work environments compared with nurses at hospitals without NWESC when controlling for Magnet® designation, job role, and degree (β = 0.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.01, 0.23, P = 0.039). Magnet® hospitals with NWESC have the healthiest work environments (β = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.01-0.31, P = 0.031).

Conclusion: Findings from this state-wide study demonstrate that nurses working at hospitals with NWESC have significantly healthier work environments with nurses practicing at Magnet hospitals, with NWESC having the healthiest work environments. The additive effect of NWESC on the health of the work environment highlights the importance that NWESC provides as the foundational infrastructure and a viable alternative to staffing ratio legislation.

护士对医院工作环境健康的感知与护理工作场所环境和人员配备委员会：一项全国性的研究。

目的：本研究的目的是考察在新泽西州有护理工作场所环境和人员配备委员会（NWESC）的医院工作的护士在工作环境、工作享受和离职意向方面的健康状况的差异。背景：NWESC为临床护士提供了一个结构化的场所，以影响人力资源分配决策，改善工作环境的健康。方法：在全州范围内进行描述性横断面研究。结果：在控制Magnet®指定、工作角色和学位的情况下，NWESC医院的护士报告的工作环境比非NWESC医院的护士更健康（β = 0.16, 95%可信区间[CI] = 0.01, 0.23, P = 0.039）。拥有NWESC的Magnet®医院拥有最健康的工作环境（β = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.01-0.31, P = 0.031）。结论：这项全州范围的研究结果表明，在NWESC医院工作的护士比在磁石医院工作的护士有更健康的工作环境，其中NWESC有最健康的工作环境。新wesc对工作环境健康的附加效应突出了新wesc作为基础设施和工作人员比例立法的可行替代方案的重要性。
