English Abstract
|
The nursing staff is the important manpower in health care organizations. The nursing staff is indispensable for quality of health care. Adverse working conditions may cause nurses' physical and psychological stress, and influence their work quality and health status. There are two objectives in this study. First, we investigated the working conditions, job stress and workloads of the nurses in medical centers. Second, we explored the association between working conditions and burnout status.
This study is qualitative and information were obtained by in-depth interview. Potential interviewees were reached by snowballing method. A total of 15 nurses working in medical centers were interviewed. The results of this study showed that, most nurses considered they were work overloaded and reported low autonomy at work. More than half of these nurses usually felt physically exhausted and worn out. Our findings indicated that the nursing staff were at high risk for work-related burnout.
Personnel management systems of hospitals influence greatly on nurses’ working arrangements. Employment flexibility leads to reduced job control. Heavy workloads and extra administrative work were frequently mentioned as job stressors. In additions, demands and requests from patients and coworkers often make nurses felt stressed and burn out. We recommend that the government should set a appropriate criteria for patient-to-nurse ratio, and should make efforts to improve working environments for nurses. To reduce burnout problems in the nursing staff, it is crucial to redesign jobs to better suit workers’ demands.
