RN Job Satisfaction and Retention After an Interprofessional Team Intervention

Area of Science:

• Healthcare Management
• Nursing Research
• Teamwork in Healthcare

Background:

• Interprofessional teamwork is crucial for improving nurse outcomes and quality of care.
• Limited research exists on the impact of interprofessional interventions on nurse job satisfaction and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the effects of interprofessional team training and structured bedside rounds on registered nurse (RN) job satisfaction and retention.
• To analyze pre- and post-intervention data on RN job satisfaction and turnover rates.

Main Methods:

• Comparative cross-sectional study design.
• Collection and analysis of pre- and post-intervention data on RN job satisfaction.
• Evaluation of 6-month turnover rates before and after the intervention.

Main Results:

• Registered nurses reported significantly higher job satisfaction following the interprofessional team intervention.
• A slight decrease in the 6-month turnover rate was observed post-intervention, though not statistically significant due to low rates.

Conclusions:

• Interprofessional team interventions can positively impact RN job satisfaction.
• Supportive work environments and ongoing coaching are recommended to enhance RN outcomes, quality of care, and patient safety.
