Abstract:

Objective To explore the status of practice environment and job burnout of nurses among tertiary hospitals and community hospitals in Shanghai, and compare their differences. Methods Nurses in tertiary hospitals and community hospitals were investigated by general information questionnaire, Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and Maslach Burnout Inventory based on the convenience sampling method. Results Totally 891 nurses participated in PES-NWI survey, among which, the overall evaluation scores of practice environment of 563 nurses from tertiary hospitals and 328 nurses from community hospitals were (63.66±27.34) points and (70.99±26.60) points, respectively. Totally 799 nurses participated in the job burnout survey, among which, the proportion of job burnout in 507 nurses from tertiary hospitals and 292 nurses from community hospitals was 85.8% and 78.4%, respectively, and with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Nurses in tertiary hospitals score lower on the practice environment than in community hospitals, and job burnout was worse than in community hospitals. Hospital managers should not only formulate relevant incentive measures from the aspect of external returns, but also formulate corresponding solutions from the aspects of internal returns such as personal development, career planning and humanistic care, so as to stabilize the nursing staff.
