A literature review for studies of job satisfaction among nurse practitioners (NPs) suggests that the true determinants of job satisfaction have not been discovered. The purpose of this study was to determine job satisfaction among adult health NPs (ANPs) practicing in Arizona.
The Misener nurse practitioner job satisfaction scale was mailed to 329 Arizona ANPs who were certified by the Arizona State Board of Nursing (47% response rate).
The mean overall satisfaction score was 4.69 out of a possible score of 6.0 for very satisfied. Differences in employer type, gender, annual income, membership in professional nursing organization, or full-time versus part-time employment status did not result in significantly different scores on the job satisfaction scale in this group.
A deep and sustained nursing shortage, the exodus of experienced nurses from the profession, and a projected shortage of primary care providers have generated interest among professional groups, private and government healthcare commissions, and the healthcare industry in determining what factors may influence an individual to choose and remain active in nursing practice. Researchers, educators, employers, and the healthcare industry must look beyond well-worn assumptions about job satisfaction to explore what the individual NP finds satisfying about his or her role.
一项关于执业护士工作满意度研究的文献综述表明，工作满意度的真正决定因素尚未被发现。本研究的目的是确定在亚利桑那州执业的成人健康执业护士（ANP）的工作满意度。
向329名获得亚利桑那州护士委员会认证的亚利桑那州ANP邮寄了米塞纳执业护士工作满意度量表（回复率为47%）。
在满分6.0（非常满意）的情况下，总体平均满意度得分为4.69。雇主类型、性别、年收入、专业护理组织成员身份或全职与兼职就业状况的差异，在该组的工作满意度量表上并未导致显著不同的得分。
严重且持续的护理人员短缺、经验丰富的护士离开该行业以及预计的初级保健提供者短缺，引发了专业团体、私人和政府医疗保健委员会以及医疗行业对确定哪些因素可能影响个人选择并继续积极从事护理实践的兴趣。研究人员、教育工作者、雇主和医疗行业必须超越关于工作满意度的陈旧假设，去探索个体执业护士对其角色感到满意的因素。
