Summary
Filipino nurses working in the US reported moderate job satisfaction, positively linked to acculturation favoring American culture. Age, residency length, and acculturation predicted their job satisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Sociology
- Psychology
Background:
- Filipino Registered Nurses (RNs) are a significant global workforce.
- Understanding their acculturation and job satisfaction is crucial for retention in host countries like the US.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess acculturation and job satisfaction levels among Filipino RNs in the US.
- To examine the relationship between acculturation and job satisfaction.
- To identify sociodemographic factors influencing job satisfaction in this population.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive correlational study surveyed 96 Filipino RNs at a conference.
- Acculturation was measured using the A Short Acculturation Scale for Filipino Americans (ASASFA).
- Job satisfaction was assessed with the Index of Work Satisfaction Scale (IWS), Part B, alongside a demographic questionnaire. Data analysis included Pearson correlation and multiple regression.
Main Results:
- Participants exhibited moderate job satisfaction, positively correlated with higher acculturation towards American culture.
- Acculturation levels closer to American culture were associated with greater job satisfaction.
- Age, duration of US residency, and acculturation significantly predicted job satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Job satisfaction for Filipino nurses in the US is influenced by acculturation and sociodemographic variables.
- Further research into enhancing acculturation may improve the retention of migrated Filipino nurses.
