Abstract


Abstract

Background:  Control over Nursing Practice (CONP) is one of the main positive attributes of workplace environment. When the Jordanian pediatric nurses have CONP, out comes related to child care such as improving child and family satisfaction and safety might improve. Having CONP will also decrease length of stay and child mortality rates, improve nurses job satisfaction, decrease turnover and burnout and improve quality child care.     

Aim: To measure the level of CONP and its relationship with both job satisfaction and quality of childcare based on Jordanian pediatric nurses’ perception.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional correlational study design was adopted. A convenience sample of 178 pediatrics nurses was selected from Queen Rania Al-Abdullah Hospital for Children. Self- administered questionnaires consisting of three survey instruments related to demographics of the participants, CONP level, job satisfaction level, and child quality care.

Results: Pediatric nurses have a moderate level of CONP with mean of (2.42, SD = 0.609). Nurses' control over practices is positively correlated with their job satisfaction (r = 0.300, p = 0.001), and with their perception toward quality of child care (r = 0.189, p < 0.05).                                                                                            

Conclusion: CONP among pediatric nurses is moderate and nurses appeared slightly dissatisfied with their job. They perceived the quality child care in their work settings as a moderate quality. Moreover, results supported a positive correlation between CONP and both of pediatrics nurse’s job satisfaction and quality of childcare.

النتائج: اظهرت النتائج أن لدى ممرضين الأطفال مستوى معتدل من التحكم والسيطرة على ممارسة التمريض بمتوسط (2.42، SD = 0.609). يرتبط سـيطرة الممرضـــــــــــــــــــــات على الممارسات ارتباطًا إيجابيًا برضــــــــــــــــاهن الوظيفي (r = 0.300، p = 0.001)، ومع تصورهم تجاه جودة رعاية الطفل (r = 0.189، p <0.05).

الخلاصة: التحكم والسيطرة على ممارسة التمريض بين ممرضات الأطفال معتدل ويبدو أن الممرضات غير راضيات قليلاً عن عملهن. لقد أدركوا أن جودة رعاية الأطفال في أماكن عملهم ذات جودة معتدلة. علاوة على ذلك، دعمت النتائج وجود علاقة إيجابية بين التحكم والسيطرة على ممارسة التمريض وكلا من الرضا الوظيفي لممرضات الأطفال وجودة رعاتهم.
