In the Netherlands, the employment as a "nurse anaesthetist" is comparable to that of a registered nurse anaesthetist in the Scandinavian countries and Poland. However, the Dutch healthcare system employs nurse anaesthetists both with and without nursing backgrounds. This study has investigated whether a nursing background influences the attitudes and perceptions of nurse anaesthetists in the Netherlands.
A survey was distributed to all nurse anaesthetists working in Dutch hospitals to discover differences in their perceptions of their work context, job satisfaction, and work climate, as well as health and turnover intention. The questionnaire also sought basic information on socio-demographic factors and psychosomatic symptoms. Descriptive statistics, factor analyses and independent T-tests were computed.
Overall 923 of a total of 2,000 questionnaires were completed and analysed (response rate of 46%). Independent T-tests showed no significant differences between nurse anaesthetists with and those without nursing backgrounds in all the areas examined.
Dutch nurse anaesthetists with and without nursing backgrounds reported similar perceptions of and information about their work context, job satisfaction, work climate, psychosomatic symptoms, burnout, sickness absence, general health and turnover intention. Both academic tracks appeared to produce individuals who functioned similarly as professionals.
在荷兰,“护士麻醉师”的职业与斯堪的纳维亚国家和波兰的注册护士麻醉师相当。然而,荷兰医疗保健系统雇佣的护士麻醉师既有护理背景的,也有非护理背景的。本研究调查了护理背景是否会影响荷兰护士麻醉师的态度和认知。
向所有在荷兰医院工作的护士麻醉师发放调查问卷,以了解他们对工作环境、工作满意度、工作氛围以及健康和离职意向的认知差异。问卷还询问了社会人口统计学因素和身心症状的基本信息。计算了描述性统计数据、因子分析和独立样本t检验。
总共2000份问卷中,有923份完成并进行了分析(回复率为46%)。独立样本t检验显示,在所有调查领域,有护理背景和无护理背景的护士麻醉师之间没有显著差异。
有护理背景和无护理背景的荷兰护士麻醉师对工作环境、工作满意度、工作氛围、身心症状、职业倦怠、病假、总体健康状况和离职意向的认知和信息相似。这两条学术路径培养出的个体作为专业人员的表现似乎相似。
