Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To examine the correlation between nurse manager (NM) competencies, work environment (Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index [PES-NWI]), and frontline nurses' intent to stay; the direct effect of NM competency on frontline nurses' intent to stay; and the indirect effect of NM competency on frontline nurses' intent to stay, mediated by PES-NWI.
BACKGROUND
PES-NWI and NMs' competency can impact frontline nurses' intent to stay.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study with secondary analysis of NM Competency and NDNQI® (National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators®) RN Survey data with path analysis for effects of the model's variables.
RESULTS
Positive, weak correlations between NM competencies and frontline nurses' practice environments were found; NM competencies and frontline nurses' intent to stay were not correlated. Paths were NM competency/PES-NWI (β = 0.20, P = 0.001) and PES-NWI/intent to stay (β = 0.55, P < 0.001); NM competency/intent to stay was not significant. Indirect effect of NM competency on frontline nurses' intent to stay was mediated through PES-NWI (β = 0.11, P = 0.002; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.17).
CONCLUSIONS
Investing in NMs' competency can help create supportive work environments and frontline nurses' intent to stay.
