OBJECTIVE: Determine if there is any relationship between different management models (public, private, mixed and English) and the quality of professional life (QPL) of the nursing staff. METHOD: A cross-sectional descriptive among the geriatric nursing staff (n=389) from the 7 geriatric homes in the city of Albacete. Using a questionnaire which included sociodemographic variables, along with a validated scale (QPL -35.), which measures quality of professional life using 35 questions (1 to 10 scale, from lower to higher degree). RESULTS: With a response rate of 66.33%, the QPL average value was 4.98 (standard deviation [SD]=2.32). Perception of "workload" achieved 5.89 (SD=1.59), "intrinsic motivation" 8.07 (SD=1.46) and "management support" 4.55 (SD=1.70.). The QPL is positively related to variables such as "management support" and "intrinsic motivation" and negatively with "workload". There are no statistically significant differences, with the work and social variables. Comparing management models, there were slightly significant differences between workload in private models than mixed ones (6.95/8.37), intrinsic motivation has lower results in private than mixed (6.95/8.37) and English (6.95/8.56). Management support is lower in mixed than English (4,20/5,03) and private (4,20/5,11). CONCLUSIONS: The QPL of our professionals is low-medium. Our data could show the need of a cultural management change based on participation and motivation, being necessary to increase the level of management support to reinforce intrinsic motivation, in order to help resolve conflicts. |
