The role of job satisfaction, work engagement, self-efficacy and agentic capacities on nurses’ turnover intention and patient satisfaction. (Applied Nursing Research, 2018, Vol 39, p. 130-140)

Nurses’ voluntary turnover is a worrying global phenomenon which affects service quality. Retaining nursing staff within a hospital is important to eliminate the negative influence of voluntary turnover on the quality of care and organisation costs. Results of this study in Italy highlight the importance of implementing actions to improve self-efficacy, self-regulation skill, work engagement and job satisfaction in order to reduce nurses’ turnover intention and increase patient satisfaction with nursing care.

Recruitment and retention in general practice nursing: What about pay? (Practice Nursing, 2018, 29(2) p. 83-87)

Practice nurses have no nationally recognised payscale and have to negotiate pay, terms and conditions on an individual basis, as employees of independent contractors, not enrolled on Agenda for Change. A pay framework that mapped to the general practice nurse career framework has been developed in Lambeth, and endorsed by Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group and Community Education Providers Network. The aim is to allow general practice to compete with all healthcare sectors and to make general practice an attractive and viable career option.

A Quality Improvement System to Manage Feeding Assistance Care in Assisted-Living (The Journal of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, 2018, Feb. Epub)

A quality improvement system resulted in sustained levels of mealtime feeding assistance and between-meal snack delivery and a low prevalence of weight loss among ALF residents receiving dementia care. Given that many ALF residents receiving dementia care are likely to be at risk for low oral intake and unintentional weight loss, ALFs should implement a quality improvement system similar to that described in this project, despite the absence of regulations to do so.
