Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Organizational Psychology
Background:
- Operating room nurses face unique workplace challenges impacting job satisfaction.
- Understanding the diverse characteristics of operating room nurses is crucial for effective support.
- Previous research has not fully explored the categorized characteristics of operating room nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the operating environment and job satisfaction of operating room nurses.
- To clarify the characteristics of operating room nurses concerning their experiences and emotions.
- To categorize operating room nurses based on their job satisfaction levels.
Main Methods:
- A survey was administered to 1177 operating room nurses.
- A 5-point Likert scale was used for 38 questionnaire items assessing job satisfaction, workplace environment, experiences, and emotions.
- Cluster analysis was employed to classify nurses based on job satisfaction.
Main Results:
- Operating room nurses were classified into five distinct groups.
- These groups exhibited unique characteristics related to age, nursing experience, operating room experience, workplace environment, experiences, and emotions.
- Significant variations were observed across the five identified clusters.
Conclusions:
- The findings highlight the heterogeneity among operating room nurses.
- Tailored support strategies, considering the specific characteristics of each of the five groups, are recommended.
- Optimizing job satisfaction requires personalized interventions for operating room nursing staff.

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.1K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
