Work Environment Characteristics Of High-Quality Home Health Agencies, S. Tullai-Mcguinness, J. Riggs, Amany Farag
Amany A. Farag
This concurrent mixed-method study examines the nurse work environment of high-quality Medicare-certified home health agencies. High-quality (n=6) and low-quality (n=6) home health agencies were recruited using agency-level publicly reported patient outcomes. Direct care registered nurses (RNs) from each agency participated in a focus group and completed the Practice Environment Scale of the Nurse Work Index (PES-NWI). No significant differences were found in the PES-NWI results between nurses working in high- and low-quality agencies, though nurses in high-quality agencies scored higher on all subscales. Nurses working in all the high-quality agencies identified themes of adequate staffing, supportive managers, and team work. …

This article describes a pilot program for provision of postacute care (PAC) in an established adult day program. Demographic, clinical, utilization, and satisfaction data were abstracted retrospectively from program records; postdischarge readmission and emergency department visit data were obtained from the electronic health record. Comparative data were obtained from the health records of patients who were offered but declined the adult day program. Between 2005 and 2008, 78 patients requiring PAC were approached by the RN coordinator; 33 selected the adult day program, and 45 selected alternative destinations. The majority of patients had a neurological diagnosis, most commonly stroke. Participants …

Nurses' Perception Of Their Manager's Leadership Style And Unit Climate: Are There Generational Differences?, Amany Farag, S. Tullai-Mcguinness, M. Anthony

AIM: To describe and compare how nurses representing four age cohorts perceive their manager's leadership style and unit climate. BACKGROUND: The current workforce consists of nurses representing four generational cohorts. Nursing literature suggests that nurses from each age cohort think, behave and approach work differently. Limited empirical evidence, however, exists about how nurses from each age cohort perceive two aspects of their work environment: their managers' leadership style and unit climate. METHOD: This cross-sectional, descriptive survey was conducted using a convenience sample of 475 registered nurses working in different inpatient units in three community non-magnet hospitals. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Only …
Multigenerational Nursing Workforce Value Differences And Work Environment: Impact On Rns' Turnover Intentions, Amany Farag
Multigenerational Nursing Workforce Value Differences And Work Environment: Impact On Rns' Turnover Intentions, Amany Farag
Amany A. Farag
Despite ongoing nursing retention efforts, the national turnover rate continues to climb as high as 21% annually. Creating a climate that supports retention is among the many responsibilities of first line nurse manager. This task is challenged by the presence of multigenerational nursing workforce. Nurses from different age cohorts come to the work environment with different set of professional and generational (terminal and instrumental) values. Values are enduring beliefs about what constitutes desirable and acceptable behavior; values play a fundamental role in both decision making and meaning formation processes. Nursing literature suggested that nurses from different age cohorts may perceive …
