The Effect of Hospital Nurse Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction on Turnover Intention and Compassion Fatigue (Walden University, 2017, PhD thesis)

Nursing is a stressful occupation, which can often lead to compassion fatigue (CF)
and turnover intention (TI). When their basic psychological needs (BPN) of competence,
relatedness, and autonomy are not met, registered nurses (RNs) are more likely to experience CF and TI. Amid projected nursing shortages, the loss of these health care providers may threaten the quality of patient care. Although there is research on basic psychological needs and their relationship with well-being and functioning, research is lacking on the relationship between BPN satisfaction, CF and TI among registered nurses.

Results show that that only 2 predictors, competence and autonomy, significantly predicted turnover intention. The thesis also revealed that the basic psychological needs of autonomy and competence were related to compassion fatigue, and all three BPN were related to TI.

Reframing Nursing Preceptor Development: A Comprehensive Approach to Improve Education, Standardize Processes, and Decrease Costs. (J Nurs Prof Dev, 2017, 33(3) p. 131-137)

High preceptor turnover and mandates for cost efficiency in a rapidly changing healthcare environment require innovative approaches for developing and supporting nurse preceptors. Responding to new organizational strategic and cost containment initiatives, a quality improvement project was initiated that combined several evidence-based approaches to align traditional processes and programs. The resultant preceptor development program decreased costs and standardized processes. It also showed improved learning and preceptor satisfaction and increased educational, networking, and recognition opportunities.
