PES-NWI Survey Analysis

406 Words1 Page

The PES-NWI survey is used as a measurement tool to look at the quality of a nursing practice environment. Dr. Lake added five subscales to be included in the PES-NWI survey. “The five subscales are Nurse Participation in Hospital Affairs; Nursing Foundations for Quality of Care; Nurse Manager Ability, Leadership, and Support of Nurses; Staffing, and Resource Adequacy; and Collegial Nurse-Physician Relations” (Lake, 2007, p.109S). Dr. Lake felt it was necessary to include these five subscales in the survey to incorporate leadership and administrative qualities along with the other characteristics.

When comparing the subscales and components of the PES-NWI and the CWEQII survey each have similarities, but differences as well. Both surveys are used as a tool to measure how healthy a work environment is. The PES-NWI survey is more healthcare based and is more concerned about work relationships. The CWEQII survey looks further at the access employees have within the workplace and if they have all the means to adequately complete assignments. …show more content…

I liked that the PES-NWI survey we took was more straightforward and in my opinion and I felt like I could answer the questions with more confidence than the CWEQII survey last week. Although the surveys were different they had a lot of areas of agreement. Both questionnaires asked about work opportunity, staff support, access to resources, and also having the correct information to complete tasks at hand. The PES-NWI survey differed from the CWEQII survey on a few characteristics. First, the PES-NWI goes more in depth about work relationships in a healthcare setting. Second, it asks more questions about patient care. For example, if nursing care plans are being written and if those plans foster continuity of

  • What Are The Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Work Environment

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the International Council of Nursing and the Institute of Medicine, one of the reasons for the current and future shortages of nurses relates to the work environment (climate/culture) (as stated in Stone P.W. (2008). The climate (environment) and culture (philosophy, principles, beliefs and values) aspects of an organization should be a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs, which governs how people behave in organizations. Strong leaders can educate, coach and mentor other workers, identify strengths and weaknesses in others and manage employees to reach goals in an efficient manner. Clearly, understanding organizational aspects that promote a stable workforce is important. Organizational climate is one of the all-encompassing, across-the-discipline aspects found in the healthcare work environment (Stone P.W. (2008). et al).

    The nursing role in international health as indicated by the World Health Organization (WHO) is that nurses are fundamental to healthcare, and are the largest workforce within healthcare providers worldwide (Huntington et al., 2009). This writer has chosen Australia the as a country of focus in global health nursing. It was reported by Huntington et al (2009) that 43% of all healthcare providers in Australia are nurses. The authors go on to note that nurses in this 2009 study stated that in examination of the quality of nursing care, there was a theory-practice gap. Nurses felt that the climate in which they worked was sometimes hostile with a high turnover rate, leading to decrease quality of work satisfaction. The international Council of nurses reflects that potential for negative outcomes to patients could be associated to a shortage of nurses that is currently taking place in Australia, and that the working environment plays a role in this satisfaction (Huntington et al., 2009).
