Abstract

Objective: To determine differences between travel (TNs') and nontravel nurses' (non-TNs') perceptions of their work environment and ethical work climate.

Background: In the wake of the global pandemic, TNs continue to be a part of the healthcare workforce, yet little is known about them or their workplace perceptions.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in spring 2024 with 2201 RNs comparing TNs (n = 615) and non-TNs (n = 1586) from 7 US healthcare organizations. Perceptions of the health and ethicality of the work environment were measured.

Results: Researchers found no meaningful differences between groups in the overall perceptions of the work environment. The mean responses indicated that a healthy work environment was not present for either group. Moderate positive correlations were noted between ethical work climate questions and healthy work environment standards.

Conclusions: These findings supplement the limited literature on the work experience of TNs. Future research is needed on TNs to further understand their perceptions of the work environment and ethical work climate particularly in contrast to non-TNs to inform nurse leader practice.

一项关于旅行护士和非旅行护士对工作环境感知的全国性研究。

目的：了解出差护士和非出差护士对工作环境和职业道德工作氛围的认知差异。背景：在全球大流行之后，护士仍然是医疗保健人力的一部分，但对他们或他们对工作场所的看法知之甚少。方法：于2024年春季对来自美国7家医疗机构的2201名注册护士进行了横断面描述性研究，比较了TNs （n = 615）和非TNs （n = 1586）。测量了对工作环境的健康和道德的看法。结果：研究人员发现，在对工作环境的总体看法上，两组之间没有显著差异。平均答复表明，两组都没有健康的工作环境。注意到道德工作气候问题与健康工作环境标准之间存在适度的正相关关系。结论：这些发现补充了有限的文献对护士工作经验的研究。未来需要对护士进行研究，以进一步了解他们对工作环境和道德工作氛围的看法，特别是与非护士相比，以告知护士领导实践。
