背景惩教护士在一个高度紧张的环境中运作，由于其客户的性质和环境安全的首要地位。工作压力和满意度是理论化的关系概念，影响意图留下来和营业额所描述的预期营业额模型。增加了解的性质A和来源的压力和满意度提供必要的信息correctional nursing.Objective：To（a）复制一个早期的研究惩教护士，以确定是否类似的结果可以复制在一项研究监狱护士从另一个国家和（B）测试的概念，压力和满意度所代表的预期营业额模型。使用的工作满意度指数和护士压力指数，相关的邮件调查，旨在评估工作压力和满意度之间的454名护士在东北州监狱system.Results：总体压力得分没有显着差异，尽管人口统计学特征的差异，从原来的研究。最高到最低的平均分数的实际来源的满意度，包括医生护士的互动，自主权，专业地位，任务要求，组织政策和薪酬。在最初的研究中，满意度得分明显更高。惩教护士工作压力与工作满意度呈负相关。工作压力是一个显着的预测工作满意度，支持理论化的概念之间的关系，工作压力和工作满意度的预期营业额model.Discussion中所描述的：压力水平和压力的前两个来源基本上是相同的两组矫正护士。满意度的来源排名相似，但分量表和总体得分表明，护士在复制研究更不满意。研究结果验证了预期离职模型中的理论命题，即工作压力是解释工作满意度的主要预测变量。
Background. Correctional nurses function in a high stress environment due to the nature of their clients and the primacy of environmental security. Job stress and satisfaction are theorized relational concepts that influence intent to stay and turnover as described in the anticipated turnover model. An increased understanding of the nature A and sources of stress and satisfaction provides necessary information about correctional nursing.Objective: To (a) replicate an earlier study of correctional nurses to determine whether similar findings could be duplicated in a study of prison nurses from another state and (b) test the concepts of stress and satisfaction as represented in the anticipated turnover model.Methods: Using the Index of Work Satisfaction and the Nurse Stress index, a correlational mail survey was designed to assess job stress and satisfaction among 454 nurses in a northeastern state prison system.Results: Overall stress scores were not significantly different from the original study despite differences in demographic characteristics. Highest to lowest mean scores on actual sources of satisfaction include physician nurse interaction, autonomy, professional status, task requirements, organizational policies, and pay. Satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the original study. An inverse relationship exists between job stress and satisfaction among correctional nurses. Job stress was a significant predictor of job satisfaction, supporting the theorized conceptual relationship between job stress and job satisfaction as described in the anticipated turnover model.Discussion: Stress levels and the top two sources of stress were essentially the same for both groups of correctional nurses. Sources of satisfaction are ranked similarly but subscale and overall scores indicate that the nurses in the replication study were more dissatisfied. Findings Validate the theoretical proposition in the anticipated turnover model that job stress is a major predictor variable in explaining job satisfaction.
