To explore the relationship of selected socio-demographic and occupational characteristics of nurses and their level of professional values, hospital ethical climate and job satisfaction.
Cross-sectional study was conducted among 388 Polish nurses from the spring of 2021 to winter of 2023, in the eastern part of Poland; and followed by Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Four research tools were used to collect data together with questionnaire for socio-demographic and occupational characteristics.
Professional values such as activism correlate negatively with religious beliefs ( = -1.789; = 0.044), this means that nurses who are more involved in professional change activities are likely to be less associated with religious beliefs. A positive correlation was observed between the Ethical Hospital Climate Survey subscale-peer relations and nurses' education level ( = 5.638; = 0.048), indicating that a higher education level was associated with better relationships with colleagues at work. A negative relationship was identified between nurses' external job satisfaction and their marital status ( = -1.958; = 0.040), that is, married nurses feel less satisfaction with the external aspects of their jobs than their single colleagues.
These findings underscore that medical staff management should take into account both sociodemographic factors [e.g., age, education, place of residence, marital status, religious beliefs, as well as professional factors (working hours, qualification course, etc.)] that affect nurses' professional values, job satisfaction and the ethical climate of the hospital. These underscore the need to adapt management strategies to the individual needs of employees, which can contribute to improving working conditions in healthcare facilities.
The data collection tool consists of four sections.
Collected background and demographic information.
NURSES’ PROFESSIONAL VALUES SCALE NPVS-3: Assessed professional values among nurses.
Assessed hospital ethical climate among nurses.
MINNESOTA SATISFACTION QUESTIONNAIRE-SHORT FORM MSQ-SF: Assessed job satisfaction levels among nurses.
探讨护士的部分社会人口学和职业特征与其专业价值观、医院伦理氛围和工作满意度之间的关系。
2021 年春季至 2023 年冬季，在波兰东部对 388 名波兰护士进行了横断面研究，并遵循《观察性研究的报告加强（STROBE）指南》。使用了四种研究工具来收集数据，同时还使用了一份社会人口学和职业特征问卷。
专业价值观，如行动主义，与宗教信仰呈负相关（ = -1.789； = 0.044），这意味着更参与专业变革活动的护士可能与宗教信仰的联系较少。医院伦理氛围调查子量表-同事关系与护士教育水平呈正相关（ = 5.638； = 0.048），表明更高的教育水平与同事关系更好。护士的外部工作满意度与婚姻状况呈负相关（ = -1.958； = 0.040），即已婚护士对工作的外部方面的满意度低于单身同事。
这些发现强调，医疗人员管理应考虑到影响护士专业价值观、工作满意度和医院伦理氛围的社会人口学因素[例如，年龄、教育、居住地、婚姻状况、宗教信仰以及专业因素（工作时间、资格课程等）]。这突显了需要根据员工的个人需求调整管理策略，这有助于改善医疗机构的工作条件。
数据收集工具包括四个部分。
