This study investigates the current situation and influencing factors of the nursing practice environment in Shenzhen, China, and provides suggestions for improving it.
Nursing shortage is an urgent global problem and also of concern in China. Studies have shown that better work environments are related to high job satisfaction and better patient outcomes.
The 37-item Practice Environment Scale was used to assess the nursing practice environment. Respondents were 1116 nurses from five general tertiary hospitals in Shenzhen.
The mean satisfaction score for the nursing practice environment was 3.63 ± 0.72 (where 5 is the highest possible score). Position, being a specialist nurse, choice of nursing major, educational attainment, and night shifts significantly affected nurses' working environment satisfaction.
The practice environment of nurses was satisfactory. We recommend reducing the workload and encouraging nurses to complete specialist training, and supporting nurses to expand their roles in hospitals and society to improve the nursing practice environment.

采用37项实践环境量表评估护理实践环境。受访者为来自深圳五家三级综合医院的1116名护士。
护理实践环境的平均满意度得分为3.63±0.72（满分5分）。职位、担任专科护士、护理专业选择、学历和夜班显著影响护士对工作环境的满意度。
护士的实践环境令人满意。我们建议减轻工作量，鼓励护士完成专科培训，并支持护士在医院和社会中拓展角色，以改善护理实践环境。
