Sažetak
Background The current nursing shortage and high turnover is often a problem in many hospitals and is related to job satisfaction and motivation. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate if motivation and job satisfaction of nurses are related to work safety, implementing intravenous access guidelines for peripheral venous access ; and the guidelines for the prevention of intravascular catheter-related infections. Methods: A pre-post design was used to administer a questionnaire regarding nurse satisfaction (personally made), and a qustionnaire regarding intravenous access installment and maintenance ( "The Infusion Nurse and Patient Complication Rates of Peripheral - Short Catheters, Journal of Intravenous Nursing, vol. 24, no.2, March/April 2001:113-123" ; "Policies and Procedures for Infusion Nursing. 3rd edition. Norwood: Infusion Nursing Society. 2006."), and a checklist for the practitioners who insert central venous catheters and the persons resposible for the surveillance and control (Center for Disease Control, 1996). Results: After implementing a series of measures to develop nursing practice in peripheral intravenous and central venous access from October 2010 - May 2014, we found a decrease in complication rates related to vascula access. Nurses also expressed improved levels of job satisfaction, stated that they took pride in improved safety and had higher levels of motivation. Conclusion: The study found a strong positive relationship between improvements in patient treatment , guideline implementation, decrease in catheter-related blood stream injuries (CBRSI), safe working enviroment and job satisfaction and motivation. It is possible that the Hawthorne Effect may have had an influence on these findings, but that with standing we have demonstrated the positive benefits to staff motivation and job satisfaction from implementing a programme of practice development within high dependency cardiac unit.
