Constructing nurses’ professional identity through social identity theory

The profession of nursing continues to struggle with defining and clarifying its professional identity. The definitive recognition of nursing as a profession was the moving of training from the hospital apprentice model to the tertiary sector. However, this is only part of the story of professional identity in nursing. Once training finishes and enculturation into the workplace commences, professional identity becomes a complicated social activity. This paper proposes social identity theory as a valuable research framework to assist with clarifying and describing the professional identity of nurses. The paper outlines the key elements of a profession and then goes on to describe the main concepts of social identity theory. Lastly, a connection is made between the usefulness of using social identity theory in researching professional identity in nursing, recognizing the contextual nature of the social activity of the profession within its workplace environment.     

社会支持与急诊护士离职意愿的相关性研究

目的：探讨社会支持对急诊护士离职意愿的影响,分析其离职意愿产生的原因。方法：采用整群抽样法,对急诊科82名护士应用一般情况调查表、社会支持评定量表（SSRS）、离职意愿调查表（TIS）进行调查。结果：离职意愿均值为（14．79＋4．19）分,处于较高水平。社会支持总分与离职意愿呈负相关（P〈O．05）;社会支持各维度与离职意愿均呈负相关（P〈O．05）,其中对支持的利用度影响最大（B=-0．826）。结论：针对社会支持三维度的薄弱点,增加急诊护士的社会支持,培养其主观感受性,增进对支持的利用,构建有效的社会支持系统,降低急诊护士的离职意愿。     

护士的职业认同在工作满意度与离职意愿间的中介作用

目的分析护士的职业认同在工作满意度与离职意愿间的中介作用。方法采用方便抽样方法选取237名临床护士,对其进行一般人口统计学的调查,并进行职业认同量表、工作满意度量表和离职意愿量表的测量。结果临床护士的工作满意度和职业认同总体水平不高,已婚和低职称临床护士的工作满意程度较低;相关分析表明,工作满意度、职业认同与离职意愿之间呈显著相关(r=0.12~0.67,P0.05或0.01)。临床护士的职业认同、工作满意度均可直接负向预测其离职意愿;工作满意度还以职业认同为中介变量,间接负向预测离职意愿。结论职业认同是工作满意度与离职意愿间的部分中介因素。就离职意愿影响因素制订干预策略,提升护士的职业认同水平和工作满意度,进而有效降低其离职意愿。

Securing intensive care: towards a better understanding of intensive care nurses’ perceived work pressure and turnover intention

Aim. To provide insight into the individual and contextual factors that are related to intensive care nursing staff perceptions of work pressure and turnover. Background. Hospitals are facing a shortage of intensive care nurses that will only become more pressing owing to demographic changes. Nurses’ sickness absence and turnover are considered important threats to the supply of intensive care. Design. A quantitative, cross‐sectional research design was used that was preceded by a qualitative, explorative study. Method. First, interviews and observations took place to better understand intensive care nurses’ work situation. Next, quantitative data were obtained in 2010 from 461 Dutch qualified intensive care nurses who completed a questionnaire. Findings. The outcomes of multiple regression analyses indicated that nurses’ perceptions of work pressure were predicted by emotional demands, physical demands, threats from patients’ relatives, social support and autonomy. Turnover intention was predicted by age, ability to deal with night shifts, social support and development opportunities. Conclusions. Given the importance of the availability of staff to secure intensive care, this study indicates that hospitals should pay more attention to intensive care nurses’ work situation. Decreasing emotional and physical demands and increasing nurses’ development opportunities are some of the measures hospitals can take to create a work environment that better accommodates the needs of their intensive care nursing staff.
