There has been a great deal of attention focused upon the professional and faculty nursing shortage. Retirement rates of seasoned nurse faculty, fewer nurses pursuing academic roles as nursing faculty, and insufficient numbers of nurses in doctoral programs hinder the ability to educate willing students to become professional nurses. The aim of this descriptive, quantitative study in the New England region was to determine barriers to job satisfaction as reported by nurse faculty. A 32-item survey was used with questions about workload, satisfaction, and identified barriers to satisfaction. Responses from 226 nurse faculty support findings regarding factors essential to job satisfaction, including work environment and workload. Implications for the study findings include the need for attention to the complexity of the academic work environment, specifically in nursing education.
专业和师资护理短缺问题已受到广泛关注。经验丰富的护理师资退休率高，追求护理师资学术职位的护士减少，以及博士项目中的护士数量不足，阻碍了培养有志成为专业护士的学生的能力。这项在新英格兰地区进行的描述性定量研究的目的是确定护理师资报告的工作满意度障碍。使用了一项包含32个条目的调查问卷，内容涉及工作量、满意度以及确定的满意度障碍。226名护理师资的回复支持了有关工作满意度关键因素的研究结果，包括工作环境和工作量。研究结果的启示包括需要关注学术工作环境的复杂性，特别是在护理教育方面。
