Aim: To explore organisational communication satisfaction and its impact on senior registered nurses' job satisfaction, burnout, and intention to stay.
Design: A cross-sectional design using surveys. The study was conducted with senior registered nurses across two healthcare groups in Western Australia.
Aims: To explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurses' and junior doctors' workload, changes to direct care and the impact of workload on resource allocation.
Design: Mixed-method design was used.
Methods: Data were collected from direct observation, hospital administrative database and a survey.
Objective: To describe staff and family members' opinions about closed-circuit television (CCTV) in communal and private areas of residential aged care facilities (RACF), and to investigate how this relates to perceptions of care quality.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was developed to capture perceptions of CCTV's influence on care quality, and acceptable locations for CCTV placement. Data were recorded as ordinal-scale and open responses.
Aim: To test and validate a measure of primary health care (PHC) engagement in the Australian remote health context.
Background: PHC principles include quality improvement, community participation and orientation of health care, patient-centred continuity of care, accessibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Measuring the alignment of services with the principles of PHC provides a method of evaluating the quality of care in community settings.
Aims: To explore and summarise the literature on the concept of 'clinical deterioration' as a nurse-sensitive indicator of quality of care in the out-of-hospital context.
Design: The scoping review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Review and the JBI best practice guidelines for scoping reviews.
Methods: Studies focusing on clinical deterioration, errors of omission, nurse sensitive indicators and the quality of nursing and midwifery care for all categories of registered, enrolled, or licensed practice nurses and midwives in the out-of-hospital context were included regardless of methodology.
Aims: To review and synthesize available evidence exploring the impact of pandemics on direct healthcare providers' workloads in the acute care setting.
Design: Scoping review.
Data Sources: A review of English research articles published up to August 2022 that examined the impact of pandemics on healthcare providers' workloads was undertaken.
Aims: This work aims to explore staff perceptions of (1) the effectiveness of organizational communication during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) the impact of organizational communication on staff well-being and ability to progress their work and patient care.
Background: Effective coordination and communication are essential in a pandemic management response. However, the effectiveness of communication strategies used during the COVID-19 pandemic is not well understood.
Background: Workforce planning is crucial in maintaining balance between demand and supply of the nursing workforce. However, policies to boost nursing workforce supply such as increasing the number of nursing students need to be considered in conjunction with the capacity of the health care system to absorb nursing graduates into the workforce.
Objective: To 1) examine the absorption of nursing graduates into the workforce in Australia 2) examine the proportion in full-time employment, graduate salaries, perception of overqualification and underemployment.
Aim: The aim of this study is to synthesize available literature describing the development, implementation and evaluation of a Professional Practice Model.
Background: A Professional Practice Model is an overarching theory-based framework that depicts nursing values and defines the structure and process of nursing care. No research has synthesized available literature on this topic in recent times.
Aim: Aim of this study is to systematically review and synthesize available evidence to identify the association between nurse staffing methodologies and nurse and patient outcomes.
Design: Systematic review and narrative synthesis.
Data Sources: A search of MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINAHL (EBSCO) and Web of Science was conducted for studies published in English between January 2000 and January 2020.
Aims: To explore the differences in organisational communication satisfaction between ward paediatric nurses and middle managers, and to assess whether there is a difference in organisational communication satisfaction between paediatric nurses and middle managers with different educational levels, years of nursing and managerial experience, contracted hours, area of work, age and gender.
Background: Previous studies reported a connection between job satisfaction, work commitment and organisational communication; however, nurses' and nursing middle managers' satisfaction with organisational communication has not been extensively studied in recent years and not at all among paediatric nurses.
Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative research design using online and hard copy self-reported questionnaires was used.
Aim: To identify undergraduate and postgraduate student midwives' attitudes towards women using licit and illicit substances during pregnancy.
Background: Literature shows that globally, substance misuse during pregnancy is growing rapidly. Women who use substances during their pregnancy have specific healthcare needs and require midwives to demonstrate positive attitudes to improve appointment compliance and treatment completion.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify midwives' attitudes towards women using substances during pregnancy, which informed the development of an integrated care pathway for the provision of optimal care.
Methods: A mixed methods research design was used, that included an online survey via the online survey tool Qualtrics™ which collected quantitative data, and interviews and focus groups were used to collect qualitative data.
Findings: Participants held a positive or neutral view towards women who used substances during pregnancy, and the participants had an empathetic perception of the issue of substance use within pregnancy, believing that women were using substances due to the environment and circumstances that they lived in, and that they had been raised and socialised in.
Aims And Objectives: To conduct an integrative review of the factors associated with why midwives stay in midwifery.
Background: Midwifery retention and attrition are globally acknowledged as an issue. However, little is known as to why midwives stay in midwifery as the focus has previously focussed on why they leave.
