The association of the emergency department work environment on patient care and nurse job outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the association between emergency nurses' work environments and patient care quality and safety, and nurse burnout, intent to leave, and job dissatisfaction.

Methods

Cross-sectional study of 221 hospitals in New York and Illinois informed by surveys from 746 emergency nurses and 6932 inpatient nurses with linked data on hospital characteristics from American Hospital Association Annual Hospital Survey. The RN4CAST-NY/IL study surveyed all registered nurses in New York and Illinois between April and June 2021 about patient safety, care quality, burnout, intent to leave, and job dissatisfaction and aggregated their responses to specific hospitals where they practiced. Work environment quality was measured using the abbreviated Practice Environment Scale
