In order to control the increasing medical expenses, hospitals have to reduce the manpower to cope with the changes. The results not only affect nurses directly, but also impact on patient care indirectly. Therefore, the aims were to 1). develop the Chinese version of work environment perception questionnaire (WEP), 2). understand the relations between nurses and doctors and overall nurses’ WEP, 3). compare the differences between the characteristics of nurses and the WEP, 4). analyze the
differences between the characteristics of nurses, the work satisfaction, and the quality of patient care evaluation and the WEP, 5). compare the differences between hospital levels and the intention to leave and incidence reports, and 6). explore factors that may affect nurses’ perceptions on WEP.
The design was cross-sectional survey study. Nurses in four branches of a same hospital were piloted and surveyied. The WEP was originally developed by Dr. Marlene Kramer (2004). The Chinese version of WEP were conducted using
translation and back translation, factors analyses, test –retest, and Cronbach’s α. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Totally, 1,607 questionnaires were administrated and 1,019 questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 63.4%. The results indicated that the relation between nurses and doctors was good and favorable. Among subscales, the scores of education support were the highest and the nursing manpower was the lowest. The average score of WEP among nurses was the highest in Branch D than those of the other three branches. The average score of satisfaction related to current work was 6.24 points (total=10 points), pertaining to satisfy with work. Nurses in Branch D obtained the highest score on satisfaction; but nurses in Branch B were the lowest. The average score of nursing quality evaluation was 6.76 points, pertaining to safe, but not much more. Nurses in Branch D obtained the highest scores on nursing care quality
evaluation, but nurses in Branch C were the lowest. A significant positive correlation was found between work satisfaction and nursing care quality evaluation and the scores of WEP (p<.05).
There was a significant difference between hospital levels and the WEP. Of this, nurses who worked in the district hospitals had higher scores of WEP than did those who worked in the medical centers (p<.05). Nurses with children had positive perceptions on WEP. However, no significant difference was found (p>.05). About 433 nurses (42.5%) indicated they would leave the hospital in the coming year. Nurses with poor perception on WEP had higher intension to leave. About 556 nurses (54.6%) indicated that there were incident reports in the past year. Of this, nurses who work in Branch C had the highest incident reports. However, no significant difference was found. In the regression analytic mode, the work satisfaction, patient care quality evaluation, intension to leave, and hospital location were found as factors that affect nurses’ perceptions (p<.05). The variance of explanation was 27.0%. The findings provide as references for hospitals to look for strategies to improve future work environment for nurses and for quality patient care.
