Researchers have demonstrated repeatedly the importance of the relationship linking job satisfaction to employee retention. In rural areas of the country, where a persistent maldistribution of nurses continues to hamper health care delivery, the potential benefits of bolstering retention via enhancements in job satisfaction are of utmost utility to administrators and providers alike. Data were gathered from a multistate survey of registered nurses (RNs) practicing in rural hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and community/public health settings (N = 1,647; response rate = 40.3%). The investigators found that the use of tuition reimbursement corresponded significantly with increased levels of job satisfaction among nurses in all three practice environments, as did day care services for nurses in acute care settings. Also, among hospital-based RNs, level of nursing education was found to be a significant factor in the relationship between tuition reimbursement and job satisfaction, with the highest level occurring among diploma-prepared nurses.
研究人员已反复证明了工作满意度与员工留任意愿之间关系的重要性。在该国农村地区，护士长期分布不均持续阻碍着医疗服务的提供，通过提高工作满意度来增强留任意愿的潜在益处，对管理人员和医护人员同样至关重要。数据来自对在农村医院、专业护理机构以及社区/公共卫生机构执业的注册护士（RN）进行的多州调查（N = 1647；回复率 = 40.3%）。研究人员发现，在所有三种执业环境中，护士使用学费报销与工作满意度的提高显著相关，在急症护理机构为护士提供日托服务的情况也是如此。此外，在医院工作的注册护士中，护理教育水平被发现是学费报销与工作满意度之间关系的一个重要因素，其中文凭护士的满意度最高。
