To develop a new, valid and reliable instrument that has been designed and evaluated to measure job satisfaction as perceived by nurses with specific aspects of contemporary nursing.
Job satisfaction is a key concept within workforce research in nursing and is particularly important within the present climate in the UK due to findings linking satisfaction with both quality of care and retention of nurses.
METHOD(S): Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out on a large longitudinal dataset from a study of Adult-branch diploma-qualified nurses in England who completed the scale at three time-points after qualification.
A six-factor solution was supported and replicated in a further sample of recently qualified graduate nurses. The instrument was also acceptably reliable.
This new instrument is a concise, highly practical and flexible tool, which can be used in a range of health care settings and in different measurement contexts.
开发一种新的、有效且可靠的工具，该工具经过设计和评估，用于衡量护士对当代护理特定方面的工作满意度。
工作满意度是护理领域劳动力研究中的一个关键概念，在英国当前的环境下尤为重要，因为有研究发现满意度与护理质量和护士留职率都有关联。
对来自一项针对英格兰成人分支文凭合格护士的大型纵向数据集进行探索性和验证性因素分析，这些护士在资格认证后的三个时间点完成了该量表。
在另一组新获得资格的研究生护士样本中支持并复制了六因素解决方案。该工具的可靠性也达到了可接受的水平。
这种新工具是一种简洁、高度实用且灵活的工具，可用于一系列医疗保健环境和不同的测量情境。
