In literature, the structural empowerment and the job satisfaction have been studied in many different work settings but more need to be done in the setting of Head Nurses.
The goal of the study is to evaluate the structural empowerment level of head nurses and if it impacts on the job satisfaction.
A cross sectional design study was used. We enrolled 125 head nurses from three different hospitals of Rome. To collect the data we used a questionnaire that included both a part of the collection of sociopersonal data and the two scales (job satisfaction and structural empowerment). We used the SPSS19.0 statistical Software for data analysis to detect significant results.
Head Nurse declared to be not enough satisfied at work (mean=3.43) and their structural empowerment level resulted moderate (mean=3.16). The structural empowerment of head nurses impacts their job satisfaction especially concerning opportunities for social and professional interactions, praises, awards, audit and responsibilities.
Results underline structural empowerment relevance in head nurses job satisfaction. Healthcare organizations need to address job satisfaction to improve quality of care and more specifically that of head nurses since they directly impact on nurses job satisfaction.
在文献中，结构赋权与工作满意度已在许多不同的工作环境中得到研究，但在护士长这一岗位上仍有更多工作需要开展。
本研究的目的是评估护士长的结构赋权水平以及它是否对工作满意度产生影响。
采用横断面设计研究。我们招募了来自罗马三家不同医院的125名护士长。为收集数据，我们使用了一份问卷，其中包括社会个人数据收集部分以及两个量表（工作满意度和结构赋权）。我们使用SPSS19.0统计软件进行数据分析以得出显著结果。
护士长表示对工作不太满意（均值 = 3.43），其结构赋权水平为中等（均值 = 3.16）。护士长的结构赋权对其工作满意度有影响，尤其在社会和专业互动机会、表扬、奖励、审核及职责方面。
结果强调了结构赋权在护士长工作满意度中的相关性。医疗保健组织需要关注工作满意度以提高护理质量，更具体地说，要关注护士长的工作满意度，因为他们直接影响护士的工作满意度。
