Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 46The Association of Missed Nursing Care and Determinants of Satisfaction With Current Position for Direct-Care Nurses-An International Study(Wiley, 2020) Bragadottir, Helga; Burmeister, Elizabeth A.; Terzioglu, Fusun; Kalisch, Beatrice J.Aim To describe the association of missed nursing care and to identify the determinants of satisfaction with current position for direct-care nurses. Background Missed nursing care and job satisfaction are important issues regarding quality patient care and safety in health care, globally. Method This was a cross-sectional quantitative study usingMISSCARE Surveydata. Participants were 7,079 nursing staff providing direct patient care in hospitals in Australia, Iceland, Turkey and the USA. Multivariable nested models were used to identify the relationship between missed nursing care and nurses' satisfaction with current position. Results More missed nursing care was associated with less satisfaction with current position. Other determinants of job satisfaction included country, nursing experience, overtime worked, adequacy of staffing and the number of shifts missed during the previous 3 months. Conclusion(s) Internationally, more missed nursing care is associated with less nursing job satisfaction and is influenced by work experience, overtime worked, levels of staffing and absenteeism. Implications for Nursing Management This study identifies that the association between missed nursing care and satisfaction with nursing position is of global concern. Other factors requiring the attention of nurse managers are staffing levels, absenteeism and work experience.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25Evaluation of the Efficiency of the Nursing Care Plan Applied Using Nanda, Noc, and Nic Linkages To Elderly Women With Incontinence Living in a Nursing Home: a Randomized Controlled Study(Wiley, 2018) Gencbas, Dercan; Bebis, Hatice; Cicek, HaticePURPOSE: Evaluate the efficiency of the nursing care plan, applied with the use of NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC (NNN) linkages, for elderly women with incontinence who live in nursing homes. METHODS: A randomized controlled experimental design was applied. NNN linkages were prepared and applied for 12 weeks in an experimental group. NOC scales were evaluated again for two groups. RESULTS: A 0.5 NOC point change targeted in all elderly in the experimental group were provided between pretest-posttest scores. The experimental group had higher life quality and lower incontinence severity/symptoms than the control group. CONCLUSION: It is important that NNN linkages effective for solving the problems are used in different groups and with larger samples to create further evidence linking NNN.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Evaluation of Wound Healing in Patients With Hip Prosthesis According To Nursing Outcome Classification(Wiley, 2022) Seyhan Ak, Ezgi; Kilinc Akman, Esra; Gencbas, DercanPurpose The purpose of this study is to perform Turkish adaptation and validation of NOC (1102) Wound Healing: Primary Intent and examine wound healing in patients with hip prosthesis diagnosed with impaired tissue integrity. Method The study was carried out in methodological and descriptive design, and the sample of the study consisted of 55 patients. Introductory Characteristics Form and Wound Healing: Primary Intention NOC Form were used for data collection. Ethical consent was obtained before initiating the study. Findings In the study, content validity index value of the NOC scale was calculated was 95.71%. Looking at NOC scale indicators for postoperative day 1, 2, and 7 and the distribution of the total mean scores, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores over time (p = 0.000). It was found that patients with chronic disease had lower NOC scale scores and wound healing was slower on the postoperative first day compared to the patients with no chronic diseases (p < 0.05). Conclusions As a result of the study, it was concluded that the Turkish version of the Wound Healing: Primary Intention NOC (1102) scale was a valid tool for evaluating the location of the wound in patients with hip prosthesis, the presence of chronic diseases affected wound healing, and mean scores obtained by the patients in NOC scale increased over time with a good progress in terms of wound healing. Implications of Nursing Practice With the use of Wound Healing: Primary Intention NOC (1102) scale, a common language will be formed in the evaluation of the wound site of patients undergoing hip prosthesis.Article Citation - WoS: 114Citation - Scopus: 130Determinants of Nurse Absenteeism and Intent To Leave: an International Study(Wiley, 2019) Burmeister, Elizabeth A.; Kalisch, Beatrice J.; Xie, Boqin; Doumit, Myrna A. A.; Lee, Eunjoo; Ferraresion, Annamaria; Bragadottir, HelgaAim To determine factors associated with nurses' intent to leave their positions and absenteeism. Background There is a recognized global shortage of nurses but limited data describing and determining factors associated with nurse absenteeism and intent to leave. Methods This study involved a secondary analysis of the results from direct-care registered nurses' responses to the MISSCARE Survey, with data from seven countries included. Multi-level modelling was used to determine nurse characteristics and working environment factors associated with nurse absenteeism and intent to leave. Results The level of absenteeism and intent to leave varied significantly across countries, with registered nurses in Lebanon reporting the highest intention to leave within 12 months (43%) and registered nurses in Iceland and Australia the highest level of absenteeism (74% and 73%, respectively). Factors associated with outcomes included perceived staffing adequacy of unit, job satisfaction, and age of the nurse. Conclusions A significant difference between countries was identified in nurse absenteeism and intent to leave. Increased perception of unit staffing inadequacy, lower job satisfaction, less nurse experience, and younger age were significant contributors to nurse absenteeism and intent to leave. Implications for Nursing Management: These findings suggest that regardless of country and hospital, by ensuring that units are adequately staffed and increasing job satisfaction, younger, less experienced nurses can be retained and absenteeism reduced.
