Article Abstract

Background: Nurses play a vital role in improving the care of patients and the health level of society. The weakness of nurse empowerment programs upon entering hospitals can affect the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of novice nurses. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of the empowerment program based on the banner theory on the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of novice nurses.

Materials And Methods: In a semi-experimental study (2023), 77 nurses from among the novice nurses of one of the university hospitals in Tehran were selected according to the available method and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Before and one month after conducting the study, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and the level of empowerment were measured through Luthans' job satisfaction questionnaires, Allen and Meier's organizational commitment, and Spritzer and Mishra's empowerment questionnaire. Usual educational methods were used for the control group.

Results: In the comparison between the groups, the variables of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and ability in the pre-test and post-test stages did not show a statistically significant difference ( > 0.05). In the intra-group comparison in each group, there was no change in the levels of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and ability of the samples in the pre-test and post-test phases ( > 0.05). The average satisfaction with the nature of the job in the experimental group before and after the study showed a significant difference ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, the educational content used was not effective on the variables of job satisfaction organizational commitment and empowerment of novice nurses. It is suggested to use more specific variables such as leaving the job, quality of patient care, job stress, and job burnout to evaluate the training package.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the factors affecting medical burnout in hospitals, identify the characteristics of staff experiencing high levels of burnout and devise a practical and sustainable prediction mechanism.

Methods: A survey was conducted to access the current situation, followed by a regression analysis using data from the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, demographic information related to healthcare personnel and employee job satisfaction metrics from the hospitals under study. Subsequently, four predictive models-logistic regression, K-nearest neighbour, decision tree and random forest (RF)-were employed to predict the degree of healthcare burnout.

Objectives: There is a wealth of reviews investigating the relations between healthcare worker (HCW) variables and quality of care (QoC) outcomes. Individually, these reviews predominantly focus on one aspect relevant to HCWs' functioning at work, unintentionally contributing to a scattered body of evidence. This umbrella review uses the concept of sustainable employability (SE)-a multidimensional construct that captures an individual's long-term ability to function adequately at work and in the labour market-to integrate existing reviews on the topic, and to examine if and how HCWs' SE is related to QoC.
