Organizational characteristics of nursing practice environments related to registered nurses' professional autonomy and job satisfaction in two Finnish Magnet-aspiring hospitals: structural equation modeling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nurses are leaving their profession because of poor personal job satisfaction, heavy workload, and unfavorable work environments with low professional autonomy. Professional autonomy involves the possibility to influence one's work and have a sense of control - the ability to contribute to a workplace culture and influence how decisions are made. This study explores registered nurses' perceptions of the nursing practice environment, using the Nursing Work Index-Revised (NWI-R), and its relationships with professional autonomy and job satisfaction.

Methods

A cross-sectional study along with instrument re-validation was conducted using a web-based survey for nurses in two Magnet-aspiring hospitals in Finland in September 2021 (n = 586). Structural equation modeling
