The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge.

Factors influencing job satisfaction may vary by healthcare setting.
A validated tool is needed to assess acute care nurses' job satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a new instrument for measuring job satisfaction.
To specifically target acute care nurses providing direct patient care.
To identify key factors contributing to job satisfaction in this population.

Main Methods:

Content validity was established for the new tool.
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed for validation.
A random sample of 349 acute care nurses participated.

Main Results:

The EFA identified 31 items for the instrument.
Six distinct factors emerged from the analysis.
