Objective: The purposes of this study were to a) estimate the incidence of intensive care units nurses' intention to leave due to working conditions; and b) identify factors predicting this phenomenon.
Design: Cross-sectional design.
Setting: Hospitals and critical care units.
Background: System approaches, such as improving working conditions, have been advocated to improve patient safety. However, the independent effect of many working condition variables on patient outcomes is unknown.
Objective: To examine effects of a comprehensive set of working conditions on elderly patient safety outcomes in intensive care units.
Objective: To investigate causes of nurse intention to leave (ITL) while simultaneously considering organizational climate (OC) in intensive care units (ICUs) and identify policy implications.
Data Sources/study Setting: Data were obtained from multiple sources including nurse surveys, hospital administrative data, public use, and Medicare files. Survey responses were analyzed from 837 nurses employed in 39 adult ICUs from 23 hospitals located in 20 separate metropolitan statistical areas.
Background: Many states have or are in process of legislating hospitals to report health care-associated infections (HAI). The purpose of this article is to compare two methods currently in use by different states: 1) selected infections due to medical care Patient Safety Indicator (PSI-7); and 2) Centers for Disease and Prevention Control (CDC) protocols for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLA-BSI).
Methods: Data came from a multihospital study.
Objective: The purposes of this study were to a) estimate the incidence of intensive care units nurses' intention to leave due to working conditions; and b) identify factors predicting this phenomenon.
Design: Cross-sectional design.
Setting: Hospitals and critical care units.
