To determine the (a) levels of acculturation and job satisfaction, (b) relationship between acculturation and job satisfaction, and (c) effects of select sociodemographic variables in predicting job satisfaction among Filipino RNs educated in the Philippines who are working in the US.
Descriptive correlational. A convenience sample of Filipino RNs (N=96) present during the PNAA Eastern Regional Conference in Baltimore, MD was conducted.
A survey was conducted using A Short Acculturation Scale for Filipino Americans (ASASFA) to measure acculturation, Part B of the Index of Work Satisfaction Scale (IWS) to assess job satisfaction, and a participant demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using A Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
Participants had a moderate level of job satisfaction that was positively correlated to a level of acculturation that was closer to American than to Filipino culture. Furthermore, age, length of U.S. residency, and acculturation significantly predicted perception of job satisfaction among this group of Filipino RNs.
Job satisfaction among Filipino nurses is related to acculturation and select sociodemographic variables. Further research to determine how best to improve acculturation may lead to improved retention rates of Filipino nurses in countries to which they have migrated.
确定（a）文化适应程度和工作满意度水平；（b）文化适应与工作满意度之间的关系；（c）特定社会人口统计学变量对在美国工作的菲律宾本土注册护士工作满意度预测的影响。
描述性相关性研究。对参加在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的菲律宾护士协会东部地区会议的菲律宾注册护士（N = 96）进行便利抽样。
使用菲律宾裔美国人简短文化适应量表（ASASFA）测量文化适应程度，工作满意度量表（IWS）的B部分评估工作满意度，并使用一份参与者人口统计学调查问卷。数据采用皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归分析。
参与者的工作满意度处于中等水平，且与更接近美国文化而非菲律宾文化的文化适应程度呈正相关。此外，年龄、在美国居住的时长和文化适应程度显著预测了这组菲律宾注册护士的工作满意度感知。
菲律宾护士的工作满意度与文化适应及特定社会人口统计学变量有关。进一步研究如何最好地改善文化适应情况，可能会提高菲律宾护士在其移民国家的留存率。
