Job Satisfaction Among Nurses Employed in Supplementary Healthcare Models, a Qualitative Descriptive Study
Supplementary employment models provide nurses with valuable flexibility and employment opportunities. However, there are barriers for nurses in communicating with organisational leadership through formal channels and in their contribution to improve the work environment and team culture with wards and departments. To improve job satisfaction for nurses employed in supplementary roles, strategies are needed to enhance access to education and training, strengthen communication and connection with clinical teams and leadership, and establish effective feedback mechanisms.
