ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to explore Polish nurses’ readiness to use the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) as part of continuous professional development and life-long learning.Material and MethodsThe study included 772 nurses, divided into 2 study groups. The first group comprised those who had participated in a course enhancing the knowledge and improving skills in the use of ICNP® terminology (N = 457). The second group comprised people who had not yet attended such a course (N = 315).ResultsIn the pre-course group, education correlated significantly with a general knowledge of ICNP® and its components, as the answers to 9 out of 13 questions revealed (p > 0.05). In the postcourse group, such a correlation was observed in the answers to all the questions except the following: “Is it possible to implement ICNP® in your place of work?” (ρ = 0.066, p = 0.137). Statistically significant differences were found when it comes to the correlation of all 13 questions and the results with the overall level of knowledge of ICNP®. A higher level of agreement with the questions and a higher level of knowledge were observed in the post-course group. However, this did not apply to the following question: “Is it possible to implement ICNP® in your place of work?” (Z = –0.06, p = 0.955, r = 0.002).ConclusionsEffective pre- and postgraduate education prepares nurses for working with ICNP® terminology. In fact, IT tools, implemented into the education process, could help to develop skills and the understanding of how nurses can use ICNP® in the nursing process. There are some obvious difficulties with the practical implementation of ICNP® into clinical practice. 2020;33(3):353–63

Background Work patterns are important factors in employees’ decisions to change their job or leave their profession. The majority of nurses in Poland are women who play other social roles besides work. For this reason, satisfaction with their work patterns including input into work schedules, has a particularly significant impact on considering the idea of quitting their job. Material and Methods The study was conducted in 2008–2011 in 8 out of 10 higher education institutions which train nurses. Data obtained from 1045 questionnaires collected from a total of 1049 respondents from 3 randomly selected higher education institutions was used in this research paper. The relationship between the qualitative features and dichotomus quality features under examination was assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results The results of the univariate logistic regression indicate that the risk of quitting increases to the highest extent with a mixed work pattern; it is lower for 12/24 h, and slightly lower for 2 day/night shifts. Conclusions A pattern with a single day shift was adopted as the reference level to reduce the risk of Polish nurses’ quitting their job. Med Pr. 2018;70(2):145–53

Wstęp W wielu polskich szpitalach mało uwagi poświęca się budowaniu pozytywnego środowiska pracy. Podobnie jak w przypadku innych zawodów w Polsce w miejscu pracy pielęgniarki często brakuje podstawowego wyposażenia, urządzeń i narzędzi niezbędnych do bezpiecznego wykonywania obowiązków zawodowych. Ponadto często nie są przestrzegane standardy przeprowadzania rekrutacji i utrzymania pracowników. Celem niniejszego badania była ocena środowiska pracy pielęgniarek w Polsce z wykorzystaniem koncepcji pozytywnego środowiska pracy (positive practice environments – PPE) i porównanie wyników z uzyskanymi w Wielkiej Brytanii w 2005 r. Materiał i metody Badanie przeprowadzono w latach 2008–2011 wśród 1049 studentów pielęgniarstwa 3 losowo wybranych publicznych uczelni medycznych, realizujących edukację pielęgniarek na poziomie studiów magisterskich. Wszystkie osoby zakwalifikowane do grupy badanej praktykowały jako pielęgniarki i/lub położne. Koordynatorem projektu było Polskie Towarzystwo Pielęgniarskie, które dostosowało kwestionariusz do polskich warunków po uzyskaniu prawa do jego przetłumaczenia. Do analizy włączono wyniki oceny środowiska pracy pielęgniarek i satysfakcji z niego w Polsce i Wielkiej Brytanii. Wyniki Jako niezadowalający dla ponad 50% pielęgniarek zidentyfikowano dostęp do 8 udogodnień w miejscu pracy, określanych jako atrybuty pozytywnego środowiska pracy. Wnioski Większość badanych pielęgniarek nie była zadowolona z warunków środowiska pracy. Pielęgniarki-menadżerki powinny organizować pozytywne warunki pracy określone w PPE, ponieważ są one warunkiem satysfakcji pielęgniarek z pracy i zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa pacjentów. Med.

Background At many Polish hospitals, insufficient attention is given to positive work environment. In many cases nurses, similarly to the representatives of other professional groups, are not provided with facilities or tools to perform their professional tasks in safe conditions. The aspects of recruitment and retention of employees are often ignored. The aim of this study has been to assess the chosen determinants of work environment of nurses in Poland using the concept of the Positive Practice Environments (PPE). Material and Methods The survey was carried out from 2008 to 2011 among 1049 nursing students of 3 randomly selected public medical universities that provided nursing education at the graduate level of the Master of Science. All the people qualified for the study group were practising nurses or midwives. The Polish Nursing Association coordinated the project, obtained the tool, translated it and adjusted it to the Polish conditions. The areas covered in the survey were: a place of employment, selected physical and social elements influencing the work conditions, and biographical information. Results Access to as many as 8 factors identified as attributes of friendly environments was found unsatisfactory by over 50% of the nurses. For the purpose of objective assessment, the results were compared with the results obtained in the group of nurses in England. Conclusions The majority of the surveyed nurses were not satisfied with their work environments. Polish nurse managers should ensure that aspects of recognized attributes of friendly, positive practice environments for nurses are established to support nurses’ satisfaction as a pre-condition for patients’ safety.
