"They say they listen. But do they really listen?": A qualitative study of hospital doctors' experiences of organisational deafness, disconnect and denial.

The sharing of information and feedback directly from service-providing staff to healthcare organisational management is vital for organisational culture and service improvement. However, hospital doctors report feeling unable to communicate effectively with management to provide evidence and affect improvement, and this can impact job satisfaction, workplace relations, service delivery and ultimately patient safety. In this paper, we draw on data elicited from a Mobile Instant Messaging Ethnography (MIME) study involving 28 hospital doctors working in Irish hospitals, to explore the barriers preventing them from speaking up and effecting change, and the impact of this on staff morale and services.

"I feel I have no voice": hospital doctors' workplace silence in Ireland.

"We All Really Need to just Take a Breath": Composite Narratives of Hospital Doctors' Well-Being during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a challenge to the physical and mental well-being of doctors worldwide. Countries around the world introduced severe social restrictions, and significant changes to health service provision in the first wave of the pandemic to suppress the spread of the virus and prioritize healthcare for those who contracted it. This study interviewed 48 hospital doctors who worked in Ireland during the first wave of the pandemic and investigated their conceptualizations of their own well-being during that time (March-May 2020).

How the organisation of medical work shapes the everyday work experiences underpinning doctor migration trends: The case of Irish-trained emigrant doctors in Australia.

Medical migration is a global phenomenon. In Ireland, hospital doctor emigration has increased significantly in recent years, with Australia a destination of choice. With work and employment conditions cited as a driver of these trends, this article explores how health system differences in the organisation of medical work shape the everyday experiences of hospital doctors which underpin migration decisions.

Hospital doctors in Ireland and the struggle for work-life balance.

Ireland has a high rate of doctor emigration. Challenging working conditions and poor work-life balance, particularly in the hospital sector, are often cited as a driver. The aim of this study was to obtain insight into hospital doctors' experiences of work and of work-life balance.

Linking relational coordination to nurses' job satisfaction, affective commitment and turnover intention in Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To examine the association between relational coordination, job satisfaction, affective commitment and turnover intention.

Background: While there is a substantial body of literature that examines how relational coordination influences outcomes among nurses in western societies, there is no known study that examines the impact of relational coordination on outcomes in a non-western health care system. As many of the factors associated with nursing turnover in Saudi Arabia are uniquely complex and challenging, a focus on relational coordination in this context is particularly worthy of investigation.
