The morale of nurses is a phenomenon often open to public comment without substantiated evidence. This study objectively explored the morale of nurses in a large district general hospital preparing for transition to National Health (NHS) Trust status. Information was sought using a 72-item questionnaire. The investigation was firmly centred around a structured theory which construes morale in terms of nine dimensions. The notion of morale being a construct synthesized of nine dimensions adds to the uniqueness of the study. Other studies fail to differentiate between the dynamic morale construct and the more complacent attitudes of job satisfaction.
护士的士气是一种常常在没有确凿证据的情况下就容易受到公众评论的现象。本研究客观地探讨了一家大型地区综合医院中护士的士气，该医院正准备转型为国民保健服务（NHS）信托机构。通过一份包含72个条目的问卷来收集信息。该调查紧密围绕一种结构化理论展开，该理论从九个维度来阐释士气。将士气视为由九个维度综合而成的一种结构这一概念增加了该研究的独特性。其他研究未能区分动态的士气结构和更为自满的工作满意度态度。
