Abstract:
This study examined the effects on work experience, satisfaction, and psychological well-being when hospital-based nursing staff change nursing units during a period of major health care system and hospital restructuring. Data were collected from 1,362 staff nurses using anonymous questionnaires. Fourteen percent (n = 194) had changed units in the preceding year. Although the effects of changing units were small, staff nurses who had changed units generally reported higher levels of work stressors, less satisfaction, and more negative emotional well-being.
