This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses have been found to experience higher burnout levels compared to other health professionals owing to the nature of their work. High burnout levels among nurses have been attributed to their stressful working environments. Prolonged exposure to work related stress leading to burnout has negative consequences for job satisfaction and general health of nurses. This has wider implications on the health system, such as high turnover rates and compromised patient care.A systematic review was conducted to determine the evidence base concerning the relationship between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses. A comprehensive search identified 85 articles (of which 70 were included in the review). Findings demonstrated a significant gap in research focusing on the relationship between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses in developing countries, such as South Africa.This evidence gap underpinned the aim of this thesis, which was to study the relationships between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health among South African nurses over time. This aim was achieved by conducting a study investigating these relationships at baseline and one year later.An evaluation of recruitment methods and measurement tools among South African nurses revealed that issuing reminders in addition to face to face recruitment strategies improved response rates by 10%. Nurses were divided into three groups differentiated by method of recruitment to determine the most successful strategy for increasing response rates. This was an important study for this thesis, as nursing research is often characterised by lower response rates and there is little evidence to inform how best to improve response rates among nurses in developing contexts.The abovementioned recruitment methods were then utilised to recruit nurses from two private and two public hospitals in the Gauteng province of South Africa. A total of 895 nurses participated in the study at baseline and 277 of these individuals were followed up with a year later. Findings showed that although stress related to security risks in the workplace predicts job satisfaction as well as general health, stress related to patient care and nursing shortages better predict job satisfaction and general health over time. Burnout better predicts job satisfaction than general health over time.The significance of this thesis is that it provides empirical evidence explaining the nature of relationships over time between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses in a developing context. This is particularly important in the context of a country such as South Africa, where the health system is characterised by high job demands and staffing issues. With limited research informing interventions towards improving the burdened health system, this study can underpin the development of appropriate policy and its implementation in addressing work related stress, burnout and job satisfaction in order to improve the health and wellbeing of nurses. This can be achieved by designing interventions that are aimed at creating better working environments, which will improve job satisfaction and reduce the negative impact of burnout on nurses' health, thereby enabling quality nursing practice and patient care.

This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to bring together examples of research in positive psychology / psychofortology conducted in the multi-cultural South African context with its diverse populations and settings. The volume reflects basic as well as applied well-being research in the multicultural South African context, as conducted in various contexts and with a variety of methods and foci. Theoretical, review, and empirical research contributions are made, reflecting positivist to constructivist approaches, and include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches. Some findings support universality assumptions, but others uncovered unique cultural patterns. Chapters report on well-being research conducted in the domains of education, work, health, and family, and in clinical, urban vs. rural, and unicultural vs. multicultural contexts. Studies span the well-being of adolescents, adults, and older people, and topics include resilience in individuals, families, and groups, measurement issues and coping processes, the role of personal and contextual variables, and facets such as hope, spirituality, self-regulation, and interventions.

Download or read book Occupational Stress in South African Work Culture written by Nasima MH Carrim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores avenues for organisations to better understand the origins of occupational stress so as to enable their managerial employees to effectively manage stress levels. By way of the work locus of control as a personality variable, the book identifies stressors both within and outside the organisation that underpin high stress levels in organisational culture. In grappling with what is required in the new workforce of ‘Generation Y’ millennials in a hyper-networked and mobile age, the authors present examples from everyday professional situations in South Africa to contribute to critical understanding of today’s working world. By applying neuroscientific principles developed from a foundation of empirical research, the authors introduce the concepts of a 'red zone’ and ‘blue zone' to explain differences between the brain areas controlled either by its stem-limbic areas, or the limbic-cortical cortex areas, respectively. This becomes a psychological shorthand for describing and applying knowledge to encourage practitioners in leadership and management roles to achieve desired behaviour outcomes, and to establish a framework for understanding employee values and worldviews. The book is relevant to practitioners, postgraduate students and researchers interested in industrial psychology, personality psychology, business management and human resources.

This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job satisfaction largely determines the productivity and efficiency of human resource for health. It literally depicts the extent to which professionals like or dislike their jobs. Job satisfaction is said to be linked with the employee s work environment, job responsibilities and powers and time pressure; the determinants which affect employee s organizational commitment and consequently the quality of services. The objective of the study was to determine the level of and factors influencing job satisfaction among public health professionals in the public sector. This was a cross sectional study conducted in Islamabad, Pakistan. Sample size was universal including 73 public health professionals, with postgraduate qualifications and working in government departments of Islamabad. A validated structured questionnaire was used to collect data from April to October 2011. Overall satisfaction rate was 41% only, while 45% were somewhat satisfied and 14% of professionals highly dissatisfied with their jobs. For those who were not satisfied, working environment, job description and time pressure were the major causes.

Download or read book Handbook of Socioeconomic Determinants of Occupational Health written by Töres Theorell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology provides readers of scientific literature on socioeconomic factors and working conditions with the newest knowledge in this field. Since our world is subjected to constant change in accelerating speed, scientific reviews and updates are needed. Fortunately, research methodology in epidemiology, physiology, psychology and sociology is also developing rapidly and therefore the scientific community can provide politicians and policy makers with increasingly sophisticated and exact descriptions of societal factors in relation to work. The anthology starts in the macro level sphere – with international perspectives and reviews related to working conditions in relation to political change (the fall of the Soviet Union) gender, age, precarious employment, national economy and retirement. Two chapters relate to national policies and activities in international organizations. The second part of the book relates to the meso level sphere – with reviews on social patterns in distributions of psychosocial and physical risks at work in general as well as reviews on noise, shift work, under/overemployment, occupational physical activity, job intensity (which may be a particularly important problem in low income countries), digitization in modern work, climate change, childhood determinants of occupational health in adult years and theoretical models currently used in occupational epidemiology - demand/control, effort/reward, organizational justice, psychosocial safety climate, conflicts, bullying/harassment. This part of the book ends with two chapters on interventions (one chapter on the use of cultural interventions and one on interventions and their evaluation in general) and two chapters on financial aspects of poor/good work environments and evaluations of interventions. In the third part of the book the micro level is addressed. Here mechanisms translating working conditions into physiology are discussed. This starts in general theory relating basic theories regarding energy storage and release to psychosocial theory (extension of demand control theory). It also includes regeneration physiology, autonomic nervous system function, immunology and adverse behaviour.
