The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Organizational Psychology
Workplace Well-being

Background:

Spirit at Work (SAW) research addresses healthcare provider needs for a healthy work environment amidst restructuring.
SAW is defined as a holistic measure of workplace outcomes, reflecting passion and energy derived from work.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore and present care providers' perceptions of Spirit at Work (SAW).
To identify differences in SAW perceptions between licensed and unlicensed care providers in a continuing care setting.

Main Methods:

A descriptive, mixed-methods approach was employed.
Data collection involved surveys with 18 Likert-type scale questions and two open-ended questions.
Participants included a mixed group of licensed and unlicensed care providers in a continuing care workplace.

Main Results:

Unlicensed continuing care providers reported lower perceptions of SAW compared to their licensed counterparts.
Survey responses indicated a correlation between SAW and workplace environment factors.

Conclusions:

Open communication between managers and team members, alongside structured interventions, can enhance SAW.
Further investigation into SAW within the continuing care sector is warranted to improve both provider well-being and patient care.
