Abstract

Background

For nurses working in specialized units such as burn units, having adequate levels of job satisfaction and motivation is crucial for enhanced productivity in order to maintain quality nursing care.

Methods

A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design was used in the study. The study aimed to investigate the job satisfaction and motivation levels of nurses working in burn units, the relationship between job satisfaction and motivation levels, and the influencing factors. The study sample consisted of 73 nurse managers/clinicians who worked in burn services or intensive care units in September and December 2023. The data were collected with “Demographic and work characteristics form,” “Job Satisfaction Scale for Nurses (JSSN)”, “Nurse Job Motivation Scale (NJMS)”. Data were analyzed using Independent Samples T-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Mann-Whitney U tests to compare the descriptive characteristics of nurses and the scale scores. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to reveal the relationship between the descriptive characteristics and scale scores of the nurses.

Results

The mean age of the nurses was 30.26 ± 7.99 years, and 60.3 % were bachelor's degree graduates. The nurses had an average of 8.64 ± 8.25 years of experience in the profession and an average of 4.77 ± 5.39 years in the burn unit. The total score average for the NJMS was found to be 66.49 ± 5.56, and the JSSN score average was 3.46 ± 0.58. A weak negative relationship was found between the JSSN subscale "Suitable Support from Seniors" and age (p < 0.05), "Perceived importance at the job" and the working years in the burn unit (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

A positive correlation was observed between job satisfaction and job motivation of the nurses. If older nurses cannot get support from their supervisors, their satisfaction will be decreased. In addition, if more experienced nurses in the burn unit do not feel importance on the job, their satisfaction will be decreased.

烧伤科护士的工作满意度与激励水平之间的关系

背景：对于在烧伤等专科单位工作的护士来说，有足够的工作满意度和工作动机是提高工作效率以保持高质量护理的关键。方法采用横断面、描述性、相关设计。本研究旨在了解烧伤科护士的工作满意度与工作动机水平、工作满意度与工作动机水平的关系及其影响因素。研究样本包括73名在2023年9月和12月在烧伤服务或重症监护病房工作的护士经理/临床医生。数据采用《人口统计学与工作特征表》、《护士工作满意度量表》、《护士工作动机量表》收集。数据分析采用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析和Mann-Whitney U检验，比较护士的描述性特征和量表得分。通过相关分析和回归分析，揭示护士描述性特征与量表得分之间的关系。结果护理人员平均年龄为30.26±7.99岁，本科以上学历占60.3%。护士的专业经验平均为8.64±8.25年，烧伤科工作经验平均为4.77±5.39年。NJMS总分平均为66.49±5.56分，JSSN总分平均为3.46±0.58分。JSSN子量表“老年人适宜支持”与年龄呈弱负相关(p <；0.05)、“对工作的感知重要性”和在烧伤科的工作年限(p <；0.05)。结论护士工作满意度与工作动机呈正相关。如果老年护士不能得到主管的支持，他们的满意度就会下降。此外，如果烧伤科经验较丰富的护士在工作中感觉不到自己的重要性，他们的满意度也会下降。

期刊介绍： Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice. Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
