Recognizing staff nurse job performance and achievements.

While recognition for work has been positively related to nurses' job satisfaction in the research literature, specific types of recognition that would be most meaningful have not been identified. In this descriptive survey, 341 randomly selected staff nurses rated the extent of meaningfulness of 38 head nurse recognition behaviors. The most meaningful, in order of importance, were monetary rewards commensurate with performance, private verbal feedback, and written acknowledgment. Three other categories of recognition were identified as moderately meaningful: public acknowledgement, schedule adjustment, and opportunities for growth and development.

Defining and validating nursing interventions.

A research team at the University of Iowa has been working for 5 years to develop a classification of nursing interventions. Conceptual work to clarify the nature of a nursing intervention was needed. An inductive approach was taken to group discrete nursing activities and attach a conceptual label. Fehring's methodology was adapted for soliciting input from nurse experts for the 134 labels described in this issue. These labels are a part of the standardized language in the Iowa classification.

Two requirements for job contentment: autonomy and social integration.

The interaction of autonomy (control over work activities) and social integration (relationships with co-workers) was investigated in a sample of newly employed nurses in the 6th and 12th month of work. Those nurses with low autonomy and low social integration reported low job satisfaction and work motivation, poor commitment to the organization and less intent to stay on the job. They were older, with more experience and more education and tended to work on medical units. This study supports the notion of feminist psychologists that what women nurses want is "autonomy with connectedness".

Adjunct executive appointment for faculty. An innovation in nursing collaboration.

The need for collaboration has never been greater. The healthcare delivery system faces unprecedented challenges arising from prospective payment, competition in the marketplace, higher patient acuity levels, and a shortage of professional nursing staff. The authors discuss a service-education collaboration model based on adjunct executive appointments of faculty members to healthcare organizations. The authors describe the model, a conceptual framework to guide its development, case studies of its implementation, and a summary of the benefits and risks associated with the initial implementation of the model.
