Frontline Nurses’ Job Satisfaction and Missed Nursing Care in a COVID-19 Dedicated Hospital in China: A Cross-Sectional Study
2024
This study examined the current situation and relationship between missed nursing care (MNC) and job satisfaction among frontline nurses in a hospital dedicated to treating COVID-19 patients in China. Many dedicated hospitals were constructed or refurbished to centrally manage patients with COVID-19. Most nurses and doctors in these hospitals were redeployed from other departments or hospitals. This may have compromised nursing quality and job satisfaction. The omission of nursing care is a critical factor in assessing nursing quality; therefore, focusing on both MNC and job satisfaction is essential. This cross-sectional study used convenience and snowball sampling techniques to recruit frontline nurses working in a hospital for treating COVID-19 patients from November to December 2022. The questionnaires used in this study included sociodemographic information, job satisfaction, and the MISSCARE survey. Differences in job satisfaction and MISSCARE scores among participants’ demographic deviations were explored using the Mann–Whitney Z test (two groups) and the Kruskal–Wallis H test (three or more groups). The correlation between participants’ job satisfaction and missed nursing actions was analysed using Spearman’s correlation analysis. The analysis included 306 frontline nurses. Frontline nurses’ job satisfaction was high, and their MNC was low. The highest MNC was “offer rehabilitation care and guidance to patients in need every day.” The most reported reasons for the MNC were “urgent patient situations.” In addition, the job satisfaction scale, MNC scores, and reasons for MNC scores showed statistically significant differences among participants’ demographic variables. Moreover, this study identified a negative correlation between frontline nurses’ job satisfaction and MNC. Frontline nurses’ job satisfaction was high, and their MNC was low. Frontline nurses’ demographics were shown to affect their job satisfaction, MNC, and reported reasons. Furthermore, participants’ job satisfaction can influence the MNC. Tailored interventions aimed at maintaining low levels of MNC should consider frontline nurses’ demographic characteristics and job satisfaction.

Background
Early detection and treatment of eating behavioral problems among pregnant women are essential due to the associated adverse impact on pregnancy and the health of the offspring. Prenatal Eating Behaviors Screening (PEBS) tool, a 12-item self-administered questionnaire, can be used to screen for eating disorders (ED) during pregnancy. This study performed an Arabic translation of PEBS and a psychometric analysis to determine its validity and reliability.
Methods
The standard forward-backward translation method was used to generate PEBS-Arabic. The 12-item Likert scale questionnaire was completed by 116 antenatal women in the tertiary maternity care hospital in Qatar. Content validity was determined by the content validity index (CVI) using input from five experts. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, and confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis (CFA & EFA) to test construct validity. The correlations between PEBS-Arabic scores and maternal characteristics were explored.
Results
The mean total PEBS score in the cohort was 16.3 (± 5.2), with nulliparity and higher educational level resulting in statistically significantly higher mean scores. The PEBS-Arabic had a very good item-CVI and scale-CVI of 1.00. The overall Cronbach’s alpha was 0.77, which demonstrated good and acceptable reliability. The CFA using a single-factor solution showed an acceptable correlation for most items. In the EFA, a two-factor solution resulted in most items loading accurately into the pre-determined factors (bulimia and anorexia) with acceptable correlations.
Conclusion
The PEBS-Arabic is the first translated version of this pregnancy-specific screening tool for ED. This tool demonstrates good reliability, content and construct validity. This study is a valuable step towards understanding and detecting the prevalence and determinants of ED in pregnancy, with the aim of improving maternal, fetal and child health.
Plain English Summary
The study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Prenatal Eating Behaviors Screening (PEBS) tool, a 12-item self-administered questionnaire, for early detection and treatment of eating disorders during pregnancy. The Arabic translation of PEBS and psychometric evaluation was performed. Moreover, a survey was conducted using PEBS which followed a six-point Likert scale which were completed by 116 antenatal women in Qatar. The results showed good reliability, and content and construct validity. The PEBS-Arabic is the first translated version from original English. This study is crucial for understanding and detecting the prevalence and determinants of eating disorders in pregnancy, ultimately improving maternal, fetal, and child health.

As the world becomes increasingly multicultural, the demand for a diverse nursing workforce rises to provide equitable and high-quality patient care. However, limited research has been conducted on these dynamics within the multicultural healthcare landscape of the Gulf region, especially in Qatar. Therefore, examining Qatar's multicultural workforce and the diversity interaction among nurses is essential to fill this research gap.
This study explored the experience of nurses and their level of interaction with a diverse workforce in a multicultural healthcare setting.
Sequential exploratory mixed-methods research was conducted at a tertiary maternity facility in Doha, Qatar. In Phase I, a survey was performed with 735 nurses using the Workforce Diversity Questionnaire II, followed by focus group discussions with 10 nurses from April to June 2024.
The findings revealed that nurses rated highly across all domains of workforce diversity interaction. The level of interaction is influenced by age, nationality, clinical experience, diversity of patient interactions, and the length of residency in a diverse community. While there were key barriers, some factors facilitated workforce diversity interaction.
This study recommends the development of training programs that focus on essential competencies for nurses to enhance their performance in diverse work settings. Further investigations are also recommended to assess the impact of these competencies and training programs to patient outcomes and organizational performance.
