AIM: To describe job satisfaction and to explore the rationale for the nurse turnover request. METHOD: A mix-method was carried out. The study was conducted in Hub Hospital in Rome, using a convenience sampling to all nursing staff on duty in the following areas: medical area, surgical and urgency/emergency areas. RESULTS: The sample of 133 nurses was found to have good job satisfaction (60.9%). 21% feel dissatisfied and 18% are uncertain about the degree of satisfaction. Nurses belonging to the urgent-emergency area showed the highest satisfaction (43.7%), while the most dissatisfied were nurses of the surgical area (53.3%). The age group between 45-50 years is useful for immediate turnover, compared to the over 50 who prefer to remain in the reality where it operates. The qualitative analysis revealed 7 macro-areas. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses have good job satisfaction, but many of them believe a turnover is necessary. The findings have important implications for nurses by helping to improve work environments, thus reducing turnover intention.
OBIETTIVO: Descrivere la soddisfazione lavorativa (job satisfaction) ed esplorare le motivazioni della richiesta di turnover da parte degli infermieri clinici. METODO: Studio mixed-method condotto presso un’Azienda Ospedaliera di Roma Hub di II livello, su un campionamento di convenienza al personale infermieristico in servizio nelle seguenti tre aree cliniche: medica, chirurgica e d’urgenza/emergenza. RISULTATI: Il campione di 133 infermieri risulta avere una buona job satisfaction (60,9%). Il 21% si ritiene insoddisfatto e il 18% è incerto sul grado di soddisfazione. Gli infermieri appartenenti all’aerea urgenza-emergenza sono quelli che mostrano una più alta soddisfazione (43,7%), mentre i più insoddisfatti sono gli appartenenti all’area chirurgica (53,3%). La fascia di età tra 45-50 anni è disposta al turnover immediato, rispetto agli over 50 che preferisce rimanere nella realtà ove opera. L’analisi qualitativa ha fatto emergere 7 macroaree. CONCLUSIONI: Gli infermieri riferiscono una ottimale soddisfazione lavorativa, ma molti di loro ritengono necessario un turnover. I risultati possono avere importanti implicazioni per gli infermieri per contribuire a migliorare gli ambienti di lavoro, al fine di limitare l’intenzione di turnover.
