Popis: | Turnover of newly graduated nurses is of significant concern. There are continuing reports that new graduates struggle during the transition to the work setting. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived demands, control, social support and self-efficacy on the job satisfaction and intention to leave of new nurses utilising Karasek's Job Demands-Control-Support model. A cross-sectional mailed survey was used to gather data. The sample comprised 232 new nurses working in acute care in Canada. Job demands, social support from both supervisors and coworkers and self-efficacy were significantly related to job dissatisfaction, while demands and support from coworkers were related to intention to leave the job. Identifying factors that contribute to the job satisfaction and intentions to leave of new nurses is a first step in developing interventions to assist nurses who are just beginning their careers. |
